South Korea has long been influenced by China culture, which has penetrated into the details of Korean life ~ including Korean food, but also has the shadow of China ~ ~ ~ Of course, you can also say that China's food also has the shadow of South Korea ~ ~ ~ After all, the influence of culture is two-way, unlike the division of territory-the boundaries must be clear! There are many kinds of chicken practices in China. Regarding chicken soup, there is a dish called "steamed chicken with ginseng". Through the comparison of chicken soup between the two countries, I personally summed up one point: China eats culture, while South Korea eats taste! Koreans like the original flavor of dishes or seasonings, such as eating raw things (seafood, vegetables, dried fruits, etc.). ), and they like to eat things with special and single taste (spicy, sour and strange, such as Korean specialty "Red Fish") ... But China people like a variety of things, which can be simply summarized into four major cuisines and eight flavors! That Korean colleague is not surprised. It is not surprising that China has a vast territory and abundant resources since ancient times, and its tastes are diverse ... What makes Korean friends feel more interesting is that almost every dish has an interesting story behind it ~ ~ ~ while Korean food is not ~ ~ ~

Story: I only know a story about steamed chicken: steamed chicken is a famous dish in Yunnan, and as early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the practice of this dish has spread all over Yunnan ~ ~ ~ This story happened in central Yunnan ... It is said that it was invented by Yang Li, the chef of Jian 'an House (now Jianshui County). That year, the emperor inspected Jian 'an, and the magistrate issued a notice asking for delicacies to please the son of heaven, and the winner was rewarded with 520 taels of silver. Yang Li's family was poor and his mother was seriously ill. In order to get rich rewards, he combined the local methods of eating hot pot and steaming steamed bread, created a steamer, and climbed to the top of the swallow cave to collect bird's nest regardless of his life, hoping to be a bird's nest steamer chicken. Unexpectedly, the boiler was stolen, and Yang Li was asked about the crime of deceiving the monarch and wanted to cut it. Fortunately, the emperor asked the truth to avoid the death of Yang Li and renamed Fudeju "Yang Li Steamed Chicken". From then on, the steamer chicken became famous and became a famous dish in central Yunnan. At that time, the practice of steaming chicken was simple, but it tasted mellow.
