I personally feel that there are two main reasons. One is the living environment in the Northeast at that time, and the supplies were very scarce, so it was impossible to cook any exquisite food. The other is the temperature in the Northeast, which requires warm rice to keep out the cold.
Legend has it that there were many nomads in the Northeast. They all lived on horseback, carrying an iron pot with them and running around the land in the Northeast. Whenever they arrived at a camp, they would set up a big pot, and then
Make the meals they want to eat, put all the vegetables, meat and other materials they have on them into a pot and stew them into a pot, forming the current Northeastern stew.
Secondly, because of the temperature in the Northeast, you need to eat something hot to keep out the cold. In winter, the temperature is very low. Simple stir-fries will basically be cold when you serve them, but the temperature of stews can last for a long time.
In addition, in fact, in order to keep out the cold, Northeastern people eat very salty food. When they go to the South to eat, they are really not used to their bland diet. When traveling, they usually bring a few bags of pickled mustard and eat a few stews when they come back.
, make up for your stomach.
The more famous pork-stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and pork stewed with sauerkraut are all indispensable delicacies on our family's dinner table.
Of course, this kind of random stew is actually inseparable from the character of the people in the Northeast. Northeastern people are very bold and rough, informal, and most of the things they cook are not very refined. We are free and easy, throwing the ingredients we like to eat.
In the pot, simmering can form a delicious meal.
In fact, it’s amazing. This eating habit has been passed down to this day. For us Northeasterners, there is really no cuisine more palatable than Northeastern cuisine.
