Considering the season, climate, food raw materials, nutrition and other factors, summer is light and winter is obscene.
The choice of raw materials for dishes is a treasure in food. Such as abalone, bone, dictyophora, Hericium erinaceus, prawn, fresh shellfish, salmon, shad, flying dragon, etc. Not only should the essence be widely selected, but also the origin, season, texture and size of raw materials should be strictly screened.
From the origin, abalone in Dalian, prawn and Cargill in Shandong, sheep outside Zhangjiakou, lobster in Fujian, shad in Zhenjiang, golden jujube in Leling and so on.
In terms of season, Siniperca chuatsi must be caught around the Dragon Boat Festival. If you want to catch peaches in full bloom, even radishes need to be harvested after the first frost. Therefore, the raw materials used in cooking can only be used in the best quality period to ensure the cooking of high-quality dishes.
