What does Jianghu cuisine mean?

Jianghu cuisine refers to the dishes relative to authentic cuisines.

"Jianghu dishes" is a saying in recent years, which is a derogatory term for the innovative dishes of "Wild Way" chefs. The most common classification of traditional dishes is by region. For example, in China, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Guangdong cuisine are all divided, which may be convenient for chefs, but it is far from enough for a real food critic.

Jianghu dishes were first developed in food stalls and small restaurants. Because of its characteristics, flavor, originality and unconventional, it caters to the consumption psychology of urbanites, and its price is low, which is also suitable for mass consumption needs. Many high-end hotels also put down their shelves to operate Jianghu dishes. In a sense, this is a strategic change for the catering industry to adapt to the needs of working-class consumer groups and the catering market to return to popularity.

Characteristics of Jianghu dishes:

1, Earth: Earth means that Jianghu dishes have a very strong local flavor. Some Jianghu dishes started in roadside shops and were cooked by fishermen and village girls. Some delicious people found them by accident. After a hearty meal, they chatted with each other, and everyone flocked to them, thus giving up their long-cherished wish of "tasting something new".

2, rough: rough refers to the rough and unrestrained temperament of the rivers and lakes. Cooking is unconventional. Sprinkle a lot of peppers, add peppers to the big ladle, hide diced chicken with spicy shells, and swim crucian carp in red oil soup. The form is informal, burning earth stoves, using coarse bowls, large plates of meat and large pots of soup. Diners are bold and generous, gulping down wine, swallowing meat, inviting six people out of five, and eating mala Tang, which tastes refreshing and tender, not for anything else, but for stimulation, just to satisfy the appetite.

3. Miscellaneous: Miscellaneous refers to the eclectic "miscellaneous" technique of Jianghu dishes, which adopts bizarre cooking techniques: compound seasoning, northern cooking, southern cooking, western cooking and western cooking. The cooked dishes make people feel deja vu, and they are confused about the number of ways. Sometimes it's incredible, but it's also amazing.
