Why do people in Northeast China like to eat stew all year round? It tastes very strong.

As northerners, we also eat a lot of stews here, especially in winter. Why exactly? Please look below.

Northeast China itself belongs to a cold area, and it needs a lot of heat when it is freezing. Just as we are cold in winter, it is a truth to use a warm water bag to keep the baby warm. Winter is long in the northeast, so it is impossible to farm in the fields. People like to get together and talk about their families when they have nothing to do. The big stove in the northeast is a major feature. Everyone can chat around the fire, eat and drink, and joke. The atmosphere is lively. It has been a convention and a habit since it spread to the present.

As for why you like to eat stew? In fact, it is because there is soup in the stew, and everything is hot enough to supplement the human body's heat energy. There is also stew, because any vegetables, meat dishes, seafood and so on can be added. , but also affordable. Stews are not easy to cool, they can be kept warm, and the stomach will not be cold when eaten.

Northeast stew does not mean that there is only one kind of dish, and there is nothing in the northeast that cannot be stewed. There are many kinds of stewed chicken and mushrooms, stewed ribs, stewed pork belly, stewed ribs and so on. These dishes are also special because of their taste.

I am from the northeast, and it is very cold in the northeast. Eating stew can keep you warm, and now people in Northeast China also like to eat stew. There are many kinds of stewed potatoes, eggplant, mushroom chicken and fish. Everyone eats stewed meat together, talking and laughing, which is very affectionate.

Hello, it's my pleasure to answer this question. As a Northeastern, I have deep feelings. Northeasters have a really heavy diet and like to ferment soy sauce at home. In summer, they eat vegetables grown in their own yard and are used to dipping them in soy sauce. In early winter, the weather is cold and materials are scarce. Except sauerkraut, potatoes, frozen pork, dried mushrooms, dried kelp and frozen fish are well preserved. This is the best winter food in Northeast China. Only after the Chinese New Year can you kill a stupid chicken. The family eats very well, and it doesn't matter if they eat heavy oil. They used to eat very little oil when they were in trouble. In order to resist the cold in winter, everyone should eat more stews, not afraid of being greasy, and the next meal tastes heavy. In the northeast, winter is very long. Stews can be heated with firewood, and on the other hand, they can burn kang. In the northeast, you must sleep in a kang, stew in a large pot and burn a kang, killing two birds with one stone. Stews such as sauerkraut are more mellow and delicious after being stewed for the second time, so people in Northeast China are used to eating stews all year round. When there is no green in winter, the only vegetable that can accompany the whole winter is Chinese cabbage, which needs to be stored in the cellar.

In the northeast, there is a dish that every family can cook, called "one pot for farmers", burning firewood, stewing pork, sauerkraut or frozen tofu cabbage in a large iron pot, steaming sweet potato steamed bread in a small pot, or sticking corn flour on the side of the pot. This is an atmosphere where everyone sits around the fire.

It's freezing and snowy outside, and the house is warm as spring. Drinking a little soju will make the family happy!

Are you satisfied with this answer?

In the past, because of climate problems, there was almost no yield of vegetables in winter, and transportation was laborious. It is impossible to transfer vegetables from the south to the north as it is now, and there are no various vegetable greenhouses. Therefore, in the past, most of the main dishes on the dining table in Northeast China were vegetables that were easy to store, such as cabbage, potatoes and radishes. These dishes are not particularly delicious when they are fried, and because of the climate, people in Northeast China prefer to eat meat to keep out the cold, so they finally evolved into what can be stewed now.

Actually, the taste is the same as this. Because of the climate, we can eat less in winter, so we will dry some vegetables in summer and then pickle them, that is, sink vegetables. Over time, the taste will be much heavier than that in the south.

When you come to the northeast to taste the stew of the four seasons, you will know that you are from Jilin. As an authentic Northeastern, we really like to eat stew, but the stew we choose in different seasons is also different.

1, spring:

(1) Kaijiang Fish: When the ice and snow melt in spring and large pieces of ice break, Kaijiang Fish will meet us. The most famous way to eat fish in our local area is "stewed fish in river water", and the original soup is a word of "fresh".

(2) Wild vegetables: After tasting the freshness of Kaijiang fish, we ushered in the second wave of fresh wild vegetables, which was a gift from Dashan. These wild vegetables, born in the mountains, are pure natural green foods, and some of them also have medicinal value, such as Acanthopanax senticosus and Taraxacum mongolicum. Among many wild vegetables, the most delicious stew is "shepherd's purse", which we locals usually stew with potato chips. Potatoes are soft and glutinous, shepherd's purse is fragrant, and with chopped green onion cake, it is a "fragrant" word.

2. Summer:

In summer, there are all kinds of fruits and vegetables, both local and imported from other places. We locals often eat "stewed beans and potatoes with ribs", "stewed dried beans with Chinese cabbage", "stewed radish with beef", "stewed tomatoes with beef", "stewed potatoes with eggplant" and "one pot". Many foreigners think that we northeast people have a strong taste. In fact, this is not accurate. Not all dishes have a strong taste. Personally, I think the stew with heavy taste is "eggplant stewed potatoes"! After all, this dish is seasoned with bean paste, not salt. I don't think other stews are heavy, such as "braised beef", which is sweet and sour, not appetizing and greasy at all.

3. Autumn:

Autumn is very important to the northeast people. It not only represents the harvest in the fields, but also represents the harvest in the mountains.

(1) Wild mushrooms:

The first wave in autumn is "mushrooms", such as hazelnuts, Tricholoma matsutake, fungus, etc., which are all very nutritious natural ingredients. They can be stewed, soup, cold salad and stuffing, and they can be eaten in various ways. The freshest way is to mix mushroom soup. Although I can't cook it myself, the mushroom soup in a local restaurant is very fresh. I often come to this shop with my friends just to drink this soup.

(2) wood frog:

The second wave is the "forest frog". In autumn, the wood frog is fat, and "braised" or "stewed potatoes" are delicious and have very high nutritional value. The disadvantage is that it is more expensive.

4. Winter:

When the weather is cold in winter, we like to eat stews, especially stews related to sauerkraut. Although there are sauerkraut in other seasons, we eat less because the hot weather is not conducive to the storage of sauerkraut. The stews often eaten in winter are "stewed ribs with sauerkraut", "stewed mushrooms with stupid chicken", "stewed frozen tofu with Chinese cabbage" and "killing pig dishes". These often eaten stews are actually not heavy in taste. As long as there is sauerkraut, the stew will dissolve the greasy stew and become full of appetite. Most stews in Northeast cuisine will pay attention to the balanced collocation of meat and vegetables to offset the greasy feeling of meat and make the stew taste better, such as stewed ribs with sauerkraut, stewed eggplant with catfish, stewed mushrooms with chicken and so on.

It's not up to me to decide whether Northeast cuisine is really heavy. You need to come to the northeast to taste it yourself, and you will find a new world of food.

Spring and summer are full of mountains and green waters, and the products are fresh and delicious;

See Wuhua Mountain in autumn, taste mountain delicacies and taste forest frogs;

Enjoy the ice and snow in winter, taste the stew in a big pot and drink the northeast spirits.

Come on, come on. Welcome to Jilin!

In the past, there were few kinds of vegetables in Northeast China, especially in winter, most of them were only potatoes and Chinese cabbage, and stews were fuel-efficient and easy to keep warm.

It's too hot to eat in summer in the south.

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question.

1 Northeast cuisine is a unique cuisine in China. Many Chinese dishes look exquisite, but Northeast dishes never look exquisite, but they look rough and crazy. Stewed meat is the most, but it is really delicious, and many people will not forget it after eating it.

In the northeast, I can't live without stew almost every day, and I can't wait to eat three meals a day. I feel that all kinds of dishes can be made into stews. The most famous dishes are stewed mushrooms with diced chicken and stewed beans with ribs. These dishes are specially made, but even if they are delicious, they will not be eaten every day. Later, southerners discovered that people in Northeast China like stews so much because of environmental reasons.

Mainly because the weather in the northeast is cold and the stew tastes warm, so the northeast people like it so much. However, this unique diet has been gradually accepted by everyone, and more and more people like to eat stew, which is more convenient and delicious than those who have trouble cooking.

The stew is warm and beautiful with the cold weather in winter.

Because vegetables in the northeast are not easy to preserve.
