What are the delicious Northeastern miso dishes?

When it comes to Northeastern doenjang, many southerners really don’t understand it. It is like a sauce that is suitable for various dishes and can be related to any dish. It is magical. Especially after winter, every rural household in the Northeast has to prepare a big sauce jar, enough to eat throughout the winter. Many people's first impression is that Northeastern food is salty, especially the older generation of Northeastern people who like to add more salt or miso to whatever they cook. Here I will list some of the more classic Northeastern miso dishes. Dishes:

1. Eggplant with soy sauce

Eggplant is a very common vegetable. Every household in the rural areas of Northeast China has several ridges in their vegetable garden, and the cooking of eggplant is also very special. There are many, including garlic eggplant, stewed eggplant, and sauced eggplant. In fact, the sauced eggplant is based on stewing eggplant, adding miso into the pot, then adding stock, and putting the sauce into the eggplant. The flavor of eggplant blends with the flavor of sauce, not to mention how delicious it is.

2. Doenjang Stewed Tofu

The classic thing about this dish is that doenjang itself is made from soybeans, and soybean curd is also made from soybeans. They are also soybean products, but mixed with miso and simmered in an iron pot, they have a special flavor.

3. Dipping pickles

Strictly speaking, the most widely spread and enduring dish about doenjang must be this "pickled dish", regardless of What kind of miso is it? It is eaten with dipping sauce. Many people have asked me, is it delicious when dipping it like this? I can tell you responsibly that the taste is indescribable. It is simply integrated into the bones of Northeastern people. Northeastern people are born to eat pickles and grow up.

During the hot season, Northeastern people like to eat this dish. This kind of eating can only be said to be very Northeastern. Set up a small table in the yard, with some dried tofu, two green onions, a handful of lettuce, two cucumbers, a plate of soybean paste, and finally a bottle of beer. This is the most pleasant time of the day for Northeastern people.
