The people take food as the sky, and the impression of their hometown is first of all a memory on the tip of the tongue. As a native of Ningbo or a new Ningbo who has been in Ningbo for many years, when it comes to ningbo's top ten famous dishes, which ones do you think of?
Among the traditional "top ten famous dishes" in Ningbo, many of them are fading out of the daily menu and food memories of Ningbo people, and many of them are still "evergreen models" on the table. At the moment, what should "new Yong cuisine" look like? When will they "debut"?
The traditional Ningbo "Top Ten Famous Dishes" section has withdrawn from the stage
Ningbo cuisine, also known as Yongbang cuisine, is the main component of Zhejiang cuisine in China's "eight major cuisines". Ningbo cuisine is good at cooking seafood, the taste is fresh and salty, pay attention to tender and soft, original taste, strong color.
In 1956, the "First Ningbo Famous Roll Call Dishes Exhibition" was held at the City God Temple, and the top ten famous dishes in Ningbo were selected in the form of on-site competitions. The selection attracted a number of hotels to participate in the competition, and after several rounds of competition, the "Top Ten Famous Dishes" stood out from more than 100 dishes.
From the existing data, it can be seen that Ningbo's "top ten famous dishes" are rock sugar turtle, pot roasted river eel, moss dragged yellow fish, rotten skin wrapped yellow fish, colored whole yellow fish, yellow fish belly, fire whole chicken, net oil wrapped foie gras, lotus leaf powder steamed meat, moss small square grilled. Most of the gourmets who are familiar with Ningbo cuisine will find that there are several dishes in the top ten famous dishes, and now it is difficult to see the major restaurants in Ningbo. For example, "net oil wrapped foie gras", this dish is made of pork plate oil wrapped foie gras, for the modern catering market that emphasizes health, such a high-oil and high-fat dish is obviously out of place; the same reason is also the pot roasted river eel and so on.
"There's also whole chicken with fire, which requires a ham and costs more; on the other hand, it's rare to eat a whole chicken at dinner." Chinese culinary master Ying Gangfeng thinks.
Among the top ten famous dishes, in addition to some dishes that have gradually faded out of the vision of Ningbo people, there are also many traditional famous dishes that are still "evergreen" on the table.
For example, the yellow fish wrapped in rotten skin, this dish can be said to be one of the most common dishes on the table of Ningbo people at present. At the same time as the group standard of "Ningbo's "Top Ten Famous Dishes" Production Specification" was released, the group standard video of the rotten skin wrapped yellow fish was also announced. Chinese cooking masters Huang Xiaolin and Ying Gangfeng explained and operated in detail in the video.
There is also the "top brand" rock sugar turtle in the top ten famous dishes, which is a traditional signature dish of Ningbo. This dish uses turtle as the main ingredient, with rock sugar and other ingredients, and when finished, the color is yellow and bright, and the mouth is smooth and moist, and the taste is delicious. Because the turtle is wrapped in hot oil when cooking, it can be kept warm for a long time.
Although this dish is also typical of "high fat and high calorie", its preparation has been continuously improved. "Now we borrow from Cantonese cuisine and put chicken, ribs and other ingredients in the rock sugar turtle to make the turtle taste more abundant." Or borrow from the practice of Yunnan cuisine and make a salty and umami steam pot turtle. Chen Jibo, a representative inheritor of Ningbo cuisine cooking skills in the provincial intangible cultural heritage building, said.
When did the catering industry and lake become a hot "new Yong cuisine" debut?
Dining is on the rise. In 2019, the national catering revenue was 4,672.1 billion yuan, an increase of 9.4% over the previous year. And change is happening all the time. At present, the consumption demand of young people is improving, the consumption structure is constantly changing, and young people such as post-90s and post-00s are becoming the main force in the catering consumer market.
So, what should "New Yong Cuisine" look like?
"New Yong cuisine, first of all, from the perspective of raw materials, should use local ingredients with regional characteristics in Ningbo; secondly, from the perspective of cooking techniques, it should be based on Ningbo's local cooking techniques, such as stewing, frying, pickling and other cooking techniques; and has the characteristics of easy dissemination and certain popularity." Shao Fei, president of the Ningbo Catering Industry and Culinary Association, said.
"Ningbo has always been a Shanghai-style city, and as inclusive as the city, Yong cuisine has always been compatible with the flavors of various cuisines." Lou Chengbin, director of the Famous Chef Committee of Ningbo Catering Industry and Culinary Association, said.
"The new Yong cuisine originates from the traditional Yong cuisine, but it is not due to the old style. On the basis of traditional Yong cuisine, it is improved and innovated, emitting new brilliance, reflecting the characteristics of Ningbo cuisine, preserving freshness and flavor. Shui Xifeng, secretary general of ningbo Yongbang Catering Federation, said.
