Luohe cuisine

I don’t know what kind of stew you are talking about. Henan stew is generally called "Family Portrait", which is made with pork belly (large pieces), fried tofu, fungus, kelp, vermicelli, yuba, etc. That is what people often call random stew. The dish of small flower pots is pretty good. Stew pots are now popular in Luohe, such as the mutton and haggis stew pot on Wenhua Road, the south pot and north stew pot on Guangming Road, the Xinying stew pot at the west end of Liaohe Road, and the stew pot on Liujiang River, which are actually similar to stews.

It’s just that there is less soup in the stew, which is about “stewing”, and there is soup in the stew pot, which is about “stewing”. The stew is done completely, and there is no heat in it. Every household in Luohe will make the stew. When the stew is ready, each person will have a bowl and a steamed bun, which is very exciting. Back then in Xuchang, it was cheap to eat braised vegetables, and a family photo was only 8 yuan. A portion of peanuts was 3 yuan, and a bottle of that Northeastern wine was not popular at that time. It seemed that it was an advertisement made by Pan Changjiang or Gong Hanlin. It costs 5 yuan, and a portion of hot pot noodles costs 3 yuan per person. For less than twenty dollars, it’s a great deal.

The earliest braised dishes I heard them say are from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia, especially Shanxi braised dishes. They said they are delicious. I have never tried them when I went to Shanxi. I have eaten stewed dishes from Inner Mongolia and they are not delicious. , because it also contains pumpkin and plum beans, which is not as delicious as the one from Henan.
