"In the U.S., you have a few years of stir-frying experience, but there's no guarantee that you've actually stir-fried for a year or two."
Do you think it's unbelievable to describe life like this?
When it comes to "eating", it seems to be a common thing in China, but it is a new topic in Western countries, which can't help but make many people curious.
Europeans and Americans don't like stir-frying?
In life, Europeans and Americans often see different dishes on the cooking table, and the dishes made separately taste very "good", but they are soup for the whole meal.
The average family will often eat the way of "boiling steak" and "roasting steak", compared with the way of stir-frying, it will test the cooking heat more, and the dishes with good seasonings are more exquisite on the table.
Therefore, they often do not often see stir-fried vegetables on the table, but cook most of the dishes, the general European and American meat products will be eaten about 4 to 5 times a week, and in this ratio, there are few 3 to 4 times are vegetarian food, so in the case of meat, cooking stir-fry will only affect the taste and original taste of meat food.
In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, they don't like to eat vegetarian food, especially vegetables that are full of nutrients and stir-fried stir-fried dishes, for this concept that overcooking will destroy nutrition, it can almost be said that it is very different, they think that this kind of no dish and no meat, but the color and taste are more attractive, and the more likely it is to lack the dish.
In addition, in European and American food, they prefer dishes that are not fried and cooked, and they are also half-cooked, and the dishes that are made in this way are not only beautifully plated, but also more attractive, which is their preferred way of cooking, so basically they prefer to cook rather than fry when cooking.
Originally, the fried dishes may destroy the original flavor of the dishes, and they will not look good enough, so they pay more attention to the color and flavor of the dishes, so they will not choose to stir-fry, so why in China, there is a cooking method of "stir-frying"?
Why does stir-fry occur in China?
China's stir-fried food can be traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty at the earliest, at that time, the folk life was difficult, oil, is an extremely valuable material, many families, do not even know what oil is, so the dishes are basically boiled and steamed out, so in the daily meal of the people, it is rare to see the fried dishes.
Until one day, Jing Zhaoyin, the official's home here, invited a layman to be a guest, when the stove in this home was cooking, water and oil were mixed and fried, and it happened that Jing Zhaoyin was busy with some things outside at this time, so he didn't notice why there was a sound of dripping oil flowers in the yard at home.
Knowing that Jing Zhaoyin returned home, this mortal, that is, a layman, was cooking at this time, which made Jing Zhaoyin very surprised, on the layman's body, to see what was incredible about him, after careful inspection, he found his shirt, shining golden light, only to suddenly realize that it was the layman fried out of the dishes, some of the dishes have reached the level of cooking.
And when stir-frying dishes, accidentally splashed on the body, so the fried dishes are splashed out of the body, because there is a lot of golden light on the layman's body, so the fried dishes are also full of gold, so there is also the saying that stir-fried vegetables.
Interestingly, Jing Zhaoyin even asked his subordinates to paint a big ash on his head and tell them that he was incorruptible, but these people didn't believe that Jing Zhaoyin was incorruptible, and even said: "The big black cross on your head is not what a righteous person looks like."
Therefore, in the history at that time, stir-frying was only used as a homonym, that is to say, when a person was incorruptible, he said that there was a big black fork on the head of his righteous person, so the appearance of this thing also met the needs of life, and the saying of stir-fry gradually spread widely.
In stir-frying, it also has its unique cooking elements, it is mainly fried step by step through the three tools of heat, pot and oil, so if you want to fry a delicious dish, it is far from enough to have one, but also need to go through a long time of cooking, bit by bit, to complete a dish, so that it is a delicious dish.
Therefore, it can be seen that stir-fry has a long origin in China, and it is also an indispensable part of Chinese cooking, and it is an indispensable part of our lives.
The reason why China's "stir-fry" culture continues to this day.
Because of the origin of the "stir-fry" culture, although the technology of stir-frying has been passed down by the Chinese in its original taste, if there are some necessary cooking tools, it is impossible to stir-fry a delicious dish, so this is also the reason why the technology of stir-frying can have a long history.
In the process of stir-frying, the farthest away is fire, which belongs to the history of human civilization, at the very beginning, it is through the way of flint and steel to ignite the fire, and the rise of the catering industry is still relatively late, and it is also cooking to further stir-fry the dishes, fire is inseparable from cooking, cooking is inseparable from fire, so it can be said that stir-frying is inseparable from fire.
And if you want to fry a dish well, a pot is indispensable, so you need to have a suitable pot to fry a dish, and there must be several necessary requirements on the pot, such as easy heat transfer, constant temperature and so on.
The quality of the pot will directly affect the quality of the dish, so it can be said that having a good pot is equivalent to the accumulation of a delicious dish.
The most crucial point is also an indispensable point, that is, oil, with oil, stir-fried food can be more delicious and delicious.
Therefore, these three necessary stir-fry elements are indispensable, they are closely related, and all three are indispensable, so if you want to stir-fry a delicious dish, these three points are indispensable.
This is also the reason why stir-fry technology can have a long history, and it can be seen that the reason why stir-fry culture can continue to this day is inseparable from the attention and inheritance of food culture by Chinese.
Chinese generally have a characteristic, that is, pay attention to the details of the diet, now Chinese catering has gone international, China's most famous food culture, but also Chinese stir-fry culture, its unique embodiment.
Therefore, in the world, China's stir-fry culture has also gone international, Chinese stir-fried food, has been in the daily life of many countries, is very common, Chinese stir-fry culture, can bring different taste buds to the world, different food styles.
