Why are some Shanxi dishes not famous? What are some famous Shanxi dishes?

As for the status of the oil meat in Shanxi people's hearts, take Taiyuan, as long as it is Taiyuan people, did not eat the oil meat. As a home cooking, you can also do at home. Down the restaurant to entertain guests, also has a very good representative. And over the oil meat is the Shanxi character in the dishes on the embodiment of crisp vegetables on behalf of the Loess Plateau harsh environment of Shanxi people, the second process of meat on behalf of Shanxi people know that good taste must first go through the ups and downs, vinegar reflects the spirit of Shanxi. The whole dish, with no glamorous plating or expensive ingredients, reflects our simple but still flavorful life. Barren and dry, but we want to prove that poor mountains and bad water will not produce unruly people, but produce tenacious and simple Shanxi people.

As a native of Shanxi, we don't care if our food is famous. Just want to say: we love noodles! We don't pay attention to the dishes we eat! It's just as good as it tastes!

Shanxi cuisine can be roughly divided into south, north and center. South Road is mainly Jinnan, southeast Jinnan region as a representative of the dish flavors are heavy like spicy. North Road to Datong, Xinzhou as the representative, dishes pay attention to heavy oil and color. Middle Road dishes to Taiyuan, Jinzhong, mainly salty, sweet and sour as a supplement, dishes with crispy, tender, heavy color, heavy flavor characteristics.

The most famous Jin cuisine are Shanxi oil meat, soy sauce plum meat lotus leaf cake, the old boss with assorted hot pot, crispy chicken, astragalus simmered mutton, lamb in sour soup, grilled lamb chops / grilled lamb spine, sweet and sour carps, the Yellow River carp stewed tofu, donkey meat Dingdingxiang, stewed venison, quail and eggplants, Qingxu fried sausage, fried buns with cold noodles, ten bowls in Jincheng, GaoPing ten bowls, Bakong burned onions, YangCheng burned liver, GaoPing burned tofu, Lingshui Codonopsis stewed chicken, Jin flavor baked pumpkin, iron plate mashed potatoes, ground vegetables braised silk, bushel stick long yam, Jinnan four flavors, oil splashed yellow river carp, yellow wine stewed meat, tomato braised oat fish fish, sweet potato amber meat, Pingyao beef, Dingxiang steamed meat, Jinzhong pressed meat and so on.

Jin cuisine is not famous reason, geographically speaking, Shanxi is more closed. There are the Taihang Mountains on the left, the Lvliang Mountains on the right, the Great Wall in the north, and the Yellow River in the south. Since ancient times, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, self-sufficiency. From the concept of Shanxi people are more conservative, old-fashioned, slow to do everything, self-satisfaction, appreciation of the lonely. Traditionally, Shanxi people publicity and promotion of poor awareness, Jin cuisine promotion efforts, resulting in Jin cuisine in the boudoir unrecognized.

First of all, thanks for the invitation!

On the reasons why Shanxi cuisine is not famous, I saw a reply that "Shanxi as a noodle province, in the study of the dish is not outstanding, and even a dish that can be on the surface of the mat are not, let alone famous dishes" such a statement, let's not care about this statement is wrong, I believe that this statement is slightly some The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure I'm the right person for the job.

As we all know, Shanxi is a large province of pasta, pasta patterns are countless, can be said to be China and even the world's "home of pasta", and even said that the world-renowned "pasta" is actually born in Shanxi noodles.

So why is Shanxi noodles so famous?

First of all, we have to look at the geography of Shanxi. The terrain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest, with mountainous areas accounting for more than 80% of the total area. Here to give you a brief introduction to the terrain in Shanxi: Jinnan Basin, southeast Jinnan mountain basin, southeast Jinshan, Jinzhong Pingchuan Basin, northwest Jinshan alpine area, Jinbei mountain and western loess hilly area, through the above for the geography of Shanxi's simple introduction, in fact, we can be clear, in the vast majority of the territory of Shanxi is not a mountainous basin, is the alpine hilly area, and these mountainous terrain also not Shanxi most areas of water quality fluoride saline alkali more, with the local word is "hard water", and even in the past there are many places where the water is salty to drink. In such water conditions, more unfavorable to the growth of crops.

So by the constraints of geography, Shanxi since ancient times, more to plant sorghum, corn, wheat and other drought-resistant crops. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shanxi people according to the characteristics of local natural conditions, according to local conditions, according to the time, and began to plant potatoes, beans, cotton and other crops, in the alpine region of northwest Jin Dynasty is more planted oat, potatoes, hu ma and other warm and cool crops.

Since ancient times, farming practices, affecting the eating habits of Shanxi people, planting more sorghum, wheat, which also led to the Shanxi people's diet is based on pasta; and unfavorable geographic constraints on vegetable cultivation, resulting in a single variety of vegetables, people turn to the pasta pattern and flavoring on the effort.

From this point of view, today's world-famous Chinese cuisine: Lu Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine, Cantonese Cuisine, Huaiyang Cuisine, and later added Zhejiang Cuisine, Fujian Cuisine, Hui Cuisine, Hunan Cuisine is known as the "Eight Cuisines", these cuisines are located in the geographic location, is not unique, or not " The location of these dishes is unique, either in the "land of fish and rice" or in the "land of heaven", which is very suitable for the cultivation of many varieties of vegetables, and the locals will naturally work on a variety of dishes.

On the other hand, in Shanxi, although there are some famous dishes, such as "over-oiled meat", "sauce plum meat lotus leaf cake", "yellow river carp stewed tofu", etc., but most of them are only in the province or even a particular region famous. But most of them are only known in the province or even a specific region, and even the "Jin Cuisine" cuisine has not been formed, which is inseparable from the geographical constraints since ancient times.

In a word, just like "a skillful woman can't cook without rice", even the raw materials are not available, how can we talk about research and innovation?

Of course, today's Shanxi is very different from the ancient times, the water quality has been greatly improved, the variety of vegetables is also a variety of more and more, the quality of life of the people continue to improve. I believe that in the near future, Shanxi cuisine will be more and more, will go out of Shanxi, so that the "Jin cuisine" famous!

The above is a simple answer, if there are inadequacies, please listed as a correction!

Shanxi as a noodle province, the research in the dishes is indeed very unimpressive. Even a dish that can make it to the big table surface are not. Not to mention the famous dishes.

Shanxi local most famous is braised vegetables and meat, but these two belong to the cafeteria dishes, the street restaurant or usually do at home to eat, the big restaurants are almost not sold, the famous dishes can not talk about.

Then there is what bowl bald, enema, dip string and other street food, especially the latter in Shanxi is very hot, but out of Shanxi no one knows, of course, this is not a dish.

But in recent years, Shanxi's oat noodles series developed a lot of tricks, and this pasta is rarely eaten in the field, the taste is also good, so wherever the neighboring areas of the table, the word of mouth is not bad. I also happened to be in Fujian, a local man opened a more upscale restaurant menu to see the Shanxi oat noodles named dish, which is also the first time in Shanxi outside of the restaurant to see Shanxi dishes.

I am always outside the construction, every day is the food group meals. Only know potato . I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about. I have been eating very little else. I can't answer that.

I am Shanxi people, Shanxi really do not have any dishes, especially fried vegetables, in the 70s and 80s when most people take the nest on the onions is a meal, and now the days are good, simple and rustic inertia, there is no outstanding dishes

The reason is very simple because of the poor!

If you eat rice in Shanxi, not more than the south of the second to see the whole of the north, but also not much food

Shanxi dishes why not famous for the following points, where not in place, please leave a comment to correct!

① not a system: because we Shanxi people have many flavors, there are a lot of people asked, Shanxi people do not love to eat sour? That is, the old chenggong vinegar, in fact, not, vinegar is just a condiment, can not be eaten as a meal, and also not that Shanxi people love to eat vinegar, my family is a kind of, I like to eat sour, my wife resolutely do not let put.

Say we don't like spicy food, right? Not right, Shanxi at least half of the people love to eat spicy, living in the cold north, eat spicy is not uncommon, in short, Shanxi people eat what tastes like a large number of people, into which system tastes are not good to say that the Shanghai people generally love to eat sweet, into the system, the Sichuan people love to eat spicy also known as the system, the Cantonese cuisine is generally light into the system.

② special geographic location has a relationship

We all know that the map of Shanxi, north-south long east-west short, divided into Jinnan, Jinzhong, Jinbei three major regions, the three regions have their own culture, each with its own dialect, Jinbei Datong to Jinzhong dialect, Jinzhong people do not understand the people in Jinnan to Taiyuan dialect, Taiyuan people with a face of ignorance with this can not be understood, not to mention the people in the south of Jinnan to the north of the Jin! I am a Shanxi Jinnan people, Jinbei I do not know, anyway, Jinnan region of the neighboring villages of the dialect are different, not to mention the big picture! As the saying goes, the world of pasta to see China, China's pasta in Shanxi! Over oil meat is our Shanxi only recognized a dish, dishes less pasta more so not cuisine!

Said so much, I believe we already have an answer, there are said to be not in place place please understand!

Shanxi cuisine is not a cuisine, one because of the dry climate, less mountain treasures and sea food, less production, less natural dishes. Secondly, Shanxi people love home, in addition to a few groups of Jin merchants, the main crowd less mobile out, naturally difficult to bring Shanxi dishes out. Third, the farming era, Shanxi people are still thrifty, not extravagant, and less like the Qinhuai, the country of heaven and other places of richness. Shanxi's famous dishes have had oil meat, braised vegetables,
