What do you think are the three favorite dishes of Shandong people?

Haha, it’s interesting. As a half-chef from Shandong, I still know a little bit about the three favorite dishes of Shandong people. Everyone’s taste and food are different. Generally speaking, Whether it is a home-cooked meal, a drink for yourself, or a banquet with guests, these three dishes are a must-have series. One of the three must be included. They are the best hard dishes in Shandong cuisine and the best in Chinese food culture. The bigger ones are the top-quality palace dishes of Chinese food culture, chicken, fish, and meat.

1: Chicken. Eating chicken is a common dish for ordinary people nowadays. It is normal to get a chicken to eat when you have nothing to do. There is an emphasis on eating chicken, that is, good luck and good fortune. The method is also based on personal preference. The food is delicious, including stewed, braised, stir-fried chicken, vermicelli chicken, mushroom chicken, etc.

Two: Fish. Eating fish is now a piece of cake for ordinary people. There is also a saying about eating fish. It is abundant every year. The cooking method is also based on personal tastes. There are steaming, Braised in braised sauce, sweet and sour, stewed, fish fillet soup, etc. are diverse.

Three: Meat. Meat-eating is especially handy for Shandong people, who are known as Shandong Han people. Eating meat is said to be a sign of wealth and wealth, and there are many ways to make it, such as braised pork elbow, rock sugar pork elbow The meat will make you salivate at the sight of it. Braised pork with pickles and vegetables is the favorite of the elderly and children. Pork head and pig meat have become a homely side dish for people to eat. It must be said that for Shandong people, eating culture is the same. The classic of Chinese food culture, meat and vegetable dishes, this is the reason why Shandong cuisine is so popular among everyone, and it is also the best choice of ingredients for people.

Haha, when it comes to this, teachers and friends, are you right? That’s a bit slanderous, so well, I’ll be a guest in Shandong and treat you to a high standard. Chicken, fish, and meat will make you never get tired of eating them, and you’ll want to eat them again.

The city I live in is separated from Shandong by a sea. Most people in our city are descendants of Shandong people, so the eating habits and customs are basically the same as those in Shandong, and many people call Shandong "Shandong Family" still has many relatives in my hometown in Shandong.

My mother-in-law’s hometown is Shandong, and she returns to her hometown in Shandong almost every year. In the past, because I was engaged in the fruit and vegetable wholesale business, I lived in Shandong for more than half a year and traveled almost all over Shandong Province. He has visited various cities and counties in Shandong, so he has a very good understanding of the eating habits of Shandong people.

As the birthplace of Shandong cuisine, the "first of the eight major cuisines", Shandong Province has many natural delicacies. However, Shandong has a very wide territory and is particularly rich in products, so the customs and eating habits of different places are also different. However, Shandong people generally like to eat salty and fresh dishes, and they like to add soy sauce and sugar for seasoning when cooking. This can be said to be a feature of Shandong cuisine.

1. Mutton Soup

Anyone who has been to Shandong will find that Shandong people really love mutton soup. I don’t know how many mutton soup restaurants there are in Shandong Province, but no matter where you go to Shandong You can see mutton soup restaurants everywhere, and the mutton soup restaurants are always overcrowded.

The fact that Shandong people love to drink mutton soup may be related to their staple food of pasta, because the best food to go with mutton soup is flatbread. A bowl of mutton soup paired with a fried pancake will make you sweat from the tip of your nose and say no. It is very comfortable and comfortable, and there is no need to pair it with stir-fried vegetables when drinking mutton soup. A pancake is a delicious meal. I have seen many people in Shandong who can't get enough of mutton soup three times a day. This shows how popular mutton soup is in Shandong. degree.

Shandong's mutton soup has long been famous. Not to mention Shanxian mutton soup, which has the reputation of "the best soup in the world", the mutton soup in Zaozhuang, Tengzhou, Jining, Binzhou and Laiwu is also very famous. Yes, when it comes to the three favorite dishes of Shandong people, mutton soup ranks among them. I believe Shandong people have no objection.

Second, fried chicken

Shandong’s braised chicken can be said to be a well-known dish, especially in recent years, braised chicken with rice can be said to be available all over the country, but Compared to fried chicken, braised chicken is even less popular in Shandong.

Shandong’s fried chicken sauce has a strong aroma and moderate spiciness. If you go to Shandong and see the fried chicken restaurants all over the streets, you will know how much Shandong people love fried chicken. As the most popular chicken in recent years, The popular dish, Shandong fried chicken ranks among the three favorite dishes of Shandong people, and it is well deserved.

Third, fried clams

Shandong’s seafood production ranks first in the country. There are many kinds of seafood in Shandong, but clams are cheap and delicious. The small seafood is the most popular in Shandong.

In Shandong, "eating clams with Harbin beer" is a favorite leisure life for many people. Not only people in Qingdao love to eat fried clams, but even people in Weifang and Zibo, which are not close to the sea, also love to eat fried clams. Clams and fried clams are particularly popular on Shandong people's dining tables. Therefore, as a representative of civilian diet, fried clams must be among the three favorite dishes of Shandong people.

This question is a bit horizontally concave.

At present, there are 16 cities in Shandong, and the tastes of people are different from each other. People in southwestern Shandong may like mutton and fish the most, people in southern Shandong may like fish and green onions the most, people in central Shandong may like fried chicken and crispy pot the most, and people in eastern Shandong may like seafood the most. People in Northern Shandong may like chicken and pork the most.

The author once spent more than a month between Qufu and Tai'an in Shandong due to work reasons. One of my favorite dishes is the boiled cabbage dish known as "Tai'an has three beauties: cabbage and tofu water" Tofu.

This dish does not even add salt, and there seems to be no other seasonings. It uses local spring water to boil the local cabbage and tofu and serves it with the soup. The cabbage is tender and yellow, and the tofu is white and smooth. It's tender, and the clear soup also has a umami flavor. It's a unique enjoyment to eat this dish especially when drinking wine. Friends from Shandong at that time told us that high-end ingredients often use the simplest cooking methods, even before "A Bite of China".

I remember one time several colleagues competed in cultural skills over this dish to see who could use more idioms to describe it. Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is "one pure and two white", and then there are "pure and pure white", "original flavor", "trinity" and so on. The most interesting thing is that someone named it "Jade White Jade Soup", which is quite artistic.

Shandong’s food is very diverse. It’s not just pancakes rolled with green onions. It includes seafood from places near the sea and special farm dishes from mountainous areas. They are all worth tasting.

The diets of different regions in Shandong vary greatly. The three favorite dishes of Linyi people are 1. Fried chicken 2. Fried chicken 3. Fried chicken; the three favorite dishes of Weifang people are: 1. Chaotian hot pot 2. and Le 3 Radish skin; the three favorite dishes of Qingdao people 1. Fried Gala 2. Fat residue 3. Sea jelly; the three favorite dishes of Yantai people 1. Stir-fried sea sausage with leeks 2. Fish pot slices 3 Yantai braised rice ; My three favorite dishes: 1. Spicy stir-fried shredded pimples 2. Stinky bean paste 3. Raw swimming crab. . .

Shandong is divided into southwest Shandong, northwest Shandong, central Shandong Plain, and Jiaodong Peninsula! The products, customs and eating habits vary greatly from place to place! The first must be fried (boiled) peanuts! The second is to stew animals in the water "pig, cow, donkey, etc."! The third is roast chicken (or fried chicken)! Do you agree?

I don’t know whether the three dishes I am referring to are snacks or home-cooked dishes. Generally, the ones that are more exposed on Shandong wine tables are

1. Fried peanuts, 2. Shredded potatoes (fried, hot and sour), 3. Mushu meat, 4. Fried chicken with local specialties, 5. Scrambled eggs (fried eggs with various vegetables or egg pancakes), 6. Eggplant (braised eggplant or flavored eggplant), 7. Cold cucumber, 8. Fish-flavored shredded pork, 9. Sweet and sour pork loin, 10. Fish (braised carp, fried hairtail, fried small yellow flowers, braised mackerel, pan-fried small herring).

These ten dishes are basically the most commonly eaten every day, and they are eaten at almost all wine tables and dinners (I am only referring to drinks, meals between friends, and family members, not Formal banquets such as official banquets and wedding banquets) will have one or more of these dishes. I don’t know if I, a Shandong native, am familiar enough with my hometown.
