What kind of existence is sauerkraut in the north?

The sauerkraut in the north not only has a taste, but also contains a strong homesickness.

Wherever the northeast people go, they will never forget the pickled cabbage pickled by their mother when they were young.

From the perspective of food culture, sauerkraut is the essence of food culture in Northeast China.

It is no exaggeration to say that any dish with sauerkraut can be more delicious. The "pig-killing dish" with a strong northeast regional style is eclipsed without sauerkraut. Stewed ribs with sauerkraut, pork with sauerkraut and fish with sauerkraut are the most memorable humanistic delicacies in Northeast China.

The formation history of "sauerkraut" can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty thousands of years ago. According to Zhou Li, pickled cabbage is also called "mash", which means pickles or pickled vegetables. "Feeding beans is actually sunflower seeds", which is also the expression of Zhou Li sauerkraut.

There is also "Guan Liang Zi Jia": "Please reduce your salary and boil water for salt"; However, Shi Ming explains "one" more thoroughly, and "one" is also an obstacle. If it is raw, it will be blocked by cold and warm, and will not rot. "In fact, this also wrote the specific method of pickled sauerkraut.

"Raw brewing" refers to making fresh Chinese cabbage directly into sour and fresh sauerkraut. And "both cold and warm are forbidden to rot" means that when pickling sauerkraut, it must be placed in a cold and hot place so that the pickled food will not rot. Moreover, in terms of taste, it is not only particularly sour and refreshing, but also particularly crisp.

Jia Sixie, an agronomist in the Southern Dynasties, once called this kind of pickled cabbage "fermented grains" in Qi Yao Min Shu, that is, ordinary Chinese cabbage. In this comprehensive agricultural work, not only the procedures and methods of using Chinese cabbage and pickled cabbage by the ancients are introduced in detail, but also it is pointed out that pickled cabbage is an indispensable food in the diet structure of northerners.
