Those frozen delicacies that are not available in the south and are only available in the Northeast~

1. Frozen pears

The main varieties of frozen pears include Huagai pear and Dachuan pear. Perfume pears, white pears and Qiuzi pears will undergo a browning reaction at low temperatures. The pears will become black, shiny and hard as rocks, and will cause a pit when dropped on the ground. The originally slightly sour Huagai pears and white pears become sweet after freezing. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao people had the habit of eating frozen pears. Pang Yuanying, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, went on an envoy to the Northern Liao Dynasty and arrived at the border of Songziling. It was the twelfth lunar month of winter. The Liao people put frozen pears as hard as rocks in cold water. Ice formed on the surface of the pears, and they broke the ice shell and ate the melted pears. Sweet and delicious.

2. Frozen persimmons

The varieties of frozen persimmons are Mopan persimmon and fire persimmon. The slightly sour persimmon has a sweet and crispy texture when chewed after being frozen, and has an excellent chewy texture.

3. Frozen tofu

Frozen tofu in winter is a good ingredient for hot pot and stews. Frozen tofu is to freeze fresh tofu, but in a closed space such as a refrigerator, the water in the tofu will remain in the body, making it less elastic when eaten. Frozen tofu from the Northeast should be cut into cubes and placed outdoors, covered with a drawer cloth to prevent dust. The northwest wind will take away the moisture of the tofu. The frozen tofu is slightly yellow in color and has enough toughness to withstand the fierce fire of the broth in a large pot and stove. When stewed, the honeycomb-shaped holes absorb the soup and become a protagonist that cannot be ignored on the dining table. Frozen tofu should be put into the pot while it is frozen. It will not taste good if it is melted and then cooked. My favorite thing to eat at home is frozen tofu with sauerkraut, pork ribs, and pickled vegetables. Pick up a piece of frozen tofu. The sour soup adds flavor to the plain tofu, which is more tempting and delicious than the meat in the bowl.

4. Frozen dumplings

Frozen dumplings are Manchu and generally refer to dry food. According to the ingredients, there are sticky noodles, stupid noodles and vegetable fillings. Sticky noodles include sticky bean buns, cakes, cut cakes, bean rolls (donkey rolling), etc., and stupid noodles include steamed buns. , steamed cakes, cornmeal steamed buns, etc., as well as vegetable fillings including dumplings, vegetable dumplings, etc. In the past, Northeastern people liked to make a lot of dumplings in winter and freeze them outdoors for storage. Nowadays, frozen bean buns, frozen dumplings, etc. are common in local households. Frozen pastry should be put away in your pocket in time to avoid excessive dehydration and cracking or affecting the taste.

5. Frozen meat

The Northeastern people’s habit of eating frozen meat comes from the Manchus. The Manchus like to eat pork and every family will kill pigs during the Chinese New Year; the Manchus are also a hunting people and hunt in winter. If the prey cannot be eaten, it will be frozen and preserved. There are two main methods, watering and freezing and burying in snow to preserve freshness: Dip the meat in ice water to freeze it, and then water it continuously to freeze, which can prevent the frozen meat from drying out and becoming stale; or bury the meat in the snow and water it outside to freeze. Really fresh. When eating, use a pick to shave the ice and let it melt indoors overnight. Chickens, ducks, geese and poultry killed in the twelfth lunar month are also preserved in this way for consumption in the first lunar month.

6. Popsicles

Possicles are not strange at all, what is strange is the way they are sold. When winter comes, boxes of popsicles and ice-creams from the Northeast are placed outside in rows. You can choose what you want to eat, pack a bag and go to the boss to check out. The colder the weather, the more you want to eat popsicles. If you eat them under the heater, you don’t have to worry about them freezing into popsicles. Madier popsicles dipped in yogurt and sorbet spread on bread, what do you think it tastes like?

7. Candied haws on a stick

Candied haws on a stick can be found everywhere, and they are also sold in the south in the summer, but I always feel that they are missing. The word "ice" is not enough flavor. The cored hawthorns are strung on sticks, wrapped in maltose and hardened quickly by the cold wind. The candied haws in winter are sour, sweet and cold, and the frozen hard candy is crunchy when you bite it. Nowadays, the candied haws seller has developed countless varieties, such as jujube, black dates, bananas, oranges, strawberries, and cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. Only you can’t think of anything he can’t make. But I still like hawthorn, just like the song says, "They say the candied haws on a haws is sour/It's sour, but it's wrapped in sweetness/They all say the candied haws is sweet/But it's sweet, but it's sour inside."
