Recently, a 68 yuan worth of Northeast pot wrapped meat has sparked heated discussions in the southern market, and southerners have a more ordinary attitude towards this price, but it has been strongly criticized by consumers in Northeast China. This phenomenon has triggered people's thinking about the difference in the taste of Northeast pot wrapped meat between the north and the south.
Northeast pot wrapped pork is made of pork loin as the main raw material, after a specific marinating and frying process, and finally with a special sweet and sour sauce, the taste is very unique. However, even with the same recipe and the same chef, the taste of the pot wrapped meat in the northeast and south is very different. What is the reason for this?
First of all, the difference between the north and the south may be an important factor in the difference in taste. The climate in the Northeast region is cold, so the pork texture is more tender and the fat content is higher, which provides a better basis for the taste of the pot meat. In the south, the climate is warm, and the pork is relatively hard in texture and low in fat, which results in a relatively poor taste of the southern pot meat.
Secondly, changes in the cooking environment may also have an impact on taste. The temperature in Northeast China is low, and the oil temperature is relatively high when frying the pot-wrapped meat, and the fried pot-wrapped meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is better. The temperature in the south is high, the oil temperature is relatively low, and the fried pot wrapped meat is crispy on the outside and tough on the inside, and the taste is not as good as that in the northeast.
In addition, the chef's approach may also be one of the reasons for the difference in taste. Although the same method is used, there may be slight differences in the pickling and frying process between the masters of the Northeast and the South, and these small differences will also affect the final taste.
Regarding the price dispute of Northeast pot bun meat in the southern market, we do not know whether it is due to the difference in taste between the north and the south. But what is certain is that the Northeast pot bun meat has a high status in the eyes of southerners, which is also one of the reasons for the price dispute. Consumers in the south have a high degree of recognition for the unique taste and production process of Northeast pot wrapped meat, so they are willing to pay a higher price for it.
To sum up, there are certain reasons for the difference in the taste of the northeast pot wrapped pork between the north and the south, including the difference between the north and the south ingredients, the change of the cooking environment, and the slight difference in the master's technique. These factors have led to the difference in the taste of the pot bun meat between the south and the northeast, and have also caused price disputes. In any case, as a delicacy with unique charm, Northeast pot wrapped pork is worthy of our taste and cherishment, whether in the south or the northeast.
