Why do Northeasters like to eat stews?

When it comes to stews, big stews and braised dishes, our first reaction may be to think of the Northeast. Yes, the stew in Northeast China can be said to be famous all over the country. Recently, there was a wave of videos of stewed dishes in Northeast China on some platforms, so why do people in Northeast China have the habit of eating stewed dishes? Let's get to know it in many ways.

Why do northeast people like to eat stew? In fact, there is no historical basis for this matter, but we can draw a conclusion by looking at the northeast region and environment and the character of the northeast people. The winter in the northeast is particularly long, lasting nearly half a year, and rural people basically do farm work in summer. Most of the time in winter is slack, and winter is basically idle at home. Moreover, it is particularly cold in winter in Northeast China, so it is comfortable to eat stew.

Northeasters are generous and hospitable, and their personalities are rather careless. The atmosphere of the Northeasters I met is very generous, and I pay more attention to my own cards. For example, when they are invited to dinner at home, most people will have one or two stews and other dishes as a foil. These two stews are basically hard dishes, such as big bones and stewed geese. The guests arranged clearly and there was not enough food in the pot. I'm worried that the guests will not be able to eat.

Northeasters have a feeling, just like cooking. Every dish contains their personality and heroism. Take a pot of stew in Northeast China as an example. Both men and women in Northeast China are "coarse and fine". Chicken and mushrooms are stewed in a pot with a delicious cake attached. The tempting smell of stewed chicken and mushrooms is irresistible when you think about it. A circle of coarse grain cakes, set off by chicken and mushrooms, is like the character of the northeast people.

The winter in Northeast China is cold and the frost-free period is short, which is basically the heating season in Xia Hou. In the past, the northeast was even worse. In the cold season, a group of people around a steaming cauldron can satisfy your appetite and drive away the cold. A group of people eat around the cauldron, which is also delicious for many people.

Another point is that the diet of northerners is more inclusive, and the difference with that of southerners is still obvious. Southerners pay attention to their diets, while northerners' diets can be put together and stewed in different combinations, which can produce different flavors. In the north, I don't pay much attention to setting dishes. All ingredients are stewed in one pot, and all kinds of ingredients are very tacit. A delicious pot is served, and the steaming color and fragrance make people drool.

Moreover, different regions have different customs and eating habits, but now due to the integration of North and South people, eating habits are constantly merging and we are also influencing each other. Renye Fang thinks hoarding food is delicious, and northern Renye Fang occasionally tastes exquisite dishes from the south. Especially in recent years, Sichuan culture is popular in various parts of China, which makes the eating habits of the north and the south constantly influence each other, and the differences are gradually decreasing.

When it comes to stewed dishes in Northeast China, many foreign friends first think of braised dishes in Northeast China, which is why the braised dishes videos on some platforms are quite popular recently. Many cuisines in Gada, northeast China, have retained the traditional cooking techniques of China. There is no artificial seasoning, and the fragrance of food comes from nature.

Moreover, there are many kinds of stews in Northeast China, such as pork vermicelli stew, bone stew with sauerkraut, pork ribs stewed with beans, chicken stewed with mushrooms and so on. They are all over-cooked, and the first one in my heart is stewed goose in iron pot. Friends who have never tasted it suggest giving it a try. It is really delicious.

Having said that, we should also understand why people in Northeast China are used to eating all kinds of stews. When writing about various stews in the northeast, Bian Xiao really drools all the time. Friends who have never tasted northeast stew really recommend it. Maybe you will suddenly fall in love with it once.

Wish you a happy life!
