Three delights from the earth

Image
Hi again! It's Britney introducing you to NorthEastern Chinese cuisine. One of the most popular dishes from this cuisine is called di san xian (roughly translated to "three delights from the earth"). It may seem these translations sound too corny but it truly is that good!   This is comprised of three main ingredients: potatoes, eggplant and green capsicum. (what is there to not like about potatoes 😀) It's a golden stir-fry infused with flavours of garlic, vinegar and a sweet brown sauce.  This is a classic dish that is a must-try when you visit your next NorthEast restaurant.  As for a recommendation, I would still recommend eating at Hong Fu, they make the best representation of di san xian in my opinion!  Reference:  https://www.blog.thatsmandarin.com/5-top-dishes-to-order-at-dongbei-restaurants/ Image: https://thewoksoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/di-san-xian-7.jpg

Candied Sweet Potato

Image
Candied sweet potato is a classic dessert in the NorthEast region of China. This dish is a Chinese delicacy that looks like cubes of sweet potato caramelised and stuck together like stick glue! To eat this, you have to pull it out and dip it in cold water to harden the sugar coating on the outside. The warm sugar hardens in the air like pieces of strings when you pull it out. Once you eat it, it is hard on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. Although this dish consists of a few ingredients, it requires a lot of skills to properly prepare. A quick tip: You must eat it quickly or else they will all stick together like hardened glue! This dish is especially tasty during winter and it is quite an adventure to eat. You should definitely check it out when eating at a NorthEastern Chinese restaurant!
