It's been winter in the north recently, and the upper-class gentleman's thick legs are even more unbearable to look directly under the long trousers, so the upper-class gentleman began to eat grass. day.

Everyone who has eaten grass knows that bitter, lettuce, cucumber, corn kernels... these are things that people eat, and every bite feels like A cow chewing diligently, the cheeks gradually become numb.

The Shangliu Jun's northeast basin friends gradually can't stand it:"Why don't you try Northeast Light Food!"

Huh? This menu looks delicious? From the point of view of weight loss, there is really nothing wrong with it, high-quality protein, I love it.

Northeast basin friends laughed:"Where is this, the Northeast Light Food Universe welcomes you."

Northeast cuisine の light foodism

Of course, strictly speaking, the above-mentioned stewed dishes used for weight loss meals actually have the problem of excessive salt.

But when it comes to eating raw vegetables, it's an authentic Northeast light meal.

I'm used to big-plate dumplings, big-plate pot meat, big harvest chaotic stew, iron pot stewed big goose People in Northeast cuisine may have their impressions of Dafen and Hao Heng.As everyone knows, Northeastern cuisine also comes from the black soil. The little freshness-dipping pickles.

The same configuration of vegetables + sauce, dipping sauce and salad can be said to have the same effect. If the Roujiamo is a Chinese burger, the dipping sauce can be said to be a Chinese salad.

Ordinary western salad looks like this: a few lettuce leaves, a few broccoli, a little carrot, some bitch, a little purple cabbage, plus a few slices of dried wood Fresh chicken breasts, topped with a little vinegar sauce and mixed with a few spoonfuls of salad dressing.

Sweet and greasy salad dressing will reduce your appetite linearly after just a few bites, and just "don't want to eat anymore" if you take a few more bites.

In comparison, the Northeast dipping sauce is so delicious that people call it Yangjian food.

In the universe of Northeast dipping sauces, there are so many kinds of vegetables that can be eaten raw.

Even pickled sauerkraut can be directly eaten raw from the sauerkraut heart. According to the Tohoku Bonyou, this bite is the middle of the watermelon One bite, the sweetest, but also greasy.

One ​​bite of vegetables, one bite of sauce

Of course, although the vegetables are fresh and delicious, most of the people in the Northeast who fall in love with raw vegetables can not do without sauce as a condiment.

If Northeast vegetables are very popular with their own quality, then the existence of sauce It can be said that it is enough to make it crown the harem.

In the Northeast, the habit of vegetable dipping sauce has a long history. As early as the Song and Jin Dynasties, Jurchens had two methods for eating vegetables, one is salting, and the other is It is eaten with sauce.

Continuing to this day, Hejiang and Shi has long been a major food culture in the Northeast.

The formation of this culture is attributed to the abundance and superior quality of soybeans on the one hand, and on the other hand based on nutrition. Abundant and high-quality soybeans have become an important food source in the Northeast, and its nutritional value, such as protein supplementation and calorie provision, meets the nutritional intake needs of the people in the Northeast.

"The yellow soybeans are thrown into squares, and the cellar in the jar is incense forever; dipped in green vegetables, adjust the vegetable soup, and pour a spoonful of oil." The object of this nursery rhyme is exactly Tohoku miso.

To the northeastern people, Dashi is like the hot pot base of Chongqing people and the Fujian people of Cantonese (bushi). It is the soul and essence of a dish. .

One ​​bite of vegetables and one bite of sauce, how many people in Northeast China start by just seeing these words Secreted saliva.

Imagine the moment when the teeth bite, the rich aroma of soybean paste overflows, and at the same time the refreshing and sweet juice bursts between the lips and teeth. If you take a sip on a hot summer day, it is really enjoyable and enjoyable.

The Northeast miso is not delicious enough. It is also unambiguous in terms of the richness of the way of eating, including egg sauce, mushroom sauce, green onion sauce, and potatoes. Ding sauce, chili sauce, eggplant sauce, etc. It can be said to have everything, each with its own characteristics, and it is insurmountable.

really confirms that sentence:"Those that can be eaten raw can be eaten directly with the sauce, and those that cannot be eaten raw are cooked and eaten with the sauce."

In the Northeast, every household makes soybean paste, and the taste is different. People with a good nose can tell if this paste is their own Therefore, Dianjiang is also enough to become the source of the Northeast people's longing for the taste of home and the sustenance of homesickness.

Northeast People: Light Eaters

So, why do people in the Northeast love to eat raw vegetables?

On the one hand, just like the soil and water on the other side of the vegetables, the unique climate and soil characteristics of the Northeast make vegetables very popular in the Northeast.

Compared with the south, the northeast has a large temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the accumulation of crop nutrients. In addition, there is fertile black land in the northeast. This makes the vegetables grown in the Northeast appear fresh and tender, or plump and crispy. Even if you don't cook, you can make people chant "Dejiner".

The outer layer of cucumber is crispy and the inner layer is sweet and tender. Put the radish in your mouth and chew it with a refreshing fragrance. Even the green onions are delicious that the southern players can't imagine-the green onion is white, sweet and refreshing, and the green onion leaves are spicy with a hint of sweetness...

On the other hand, due to the extremely long winter in the Northeast, people in the Northeast cherish fresh vegetables even more.

In the past, when the winter came when the nose was blinded (the nose was so cold that it came out), the white snow covered the northeast land, except for the potatoes that were stocked in advance. Apart from radishes and pickles, there are basically no green vegetables.

It's inevitable that your mouth will become astringent when you eat the food that you have previously stocked for a long time, and you will see the spring again When fresh green vegetables are newly grown, it is not difficult to imagine the Northeast people's eyes glowing like hungry wolves rushing for food. At this time, if you let them cook and eat, you can wait to be scolded for "violent things".

Therefore, even though greenhouse cultivation makes it possible to eat fresh vegetables in winter, raw vegetables are still very popular in the Northeast, which is the habit of the Northeast people. .

In addition, due to a variety of factors, people in the Northeast prefer big fish and meat, mostly hard vegetables, and like greasy and heavy flavors. This makes fresh vegetables a good product and an indispensable presence on the dinner table.

If it's a light meal in the Northeast after the big oil meat, not only the guilt of overeating will be diluted ,That is simply the baptism of the spirit and the sublimation of the soul.

It is said that people from the Northeast are enthusiastic and heroic. In fact, Northeast cuisine is also the same: delicious, direct, and large. It is no wonder that the Northeast can be called the Jerusalem of the people who eat rice.

What should I do if I have PTSD on vegetables? Why not try these Northeastern dishes-delicious, low-fat and healthy.

Welcome to the Northeast and eat authentic Northeast light food.
