Jilin cuisine
Jilin cuisine blends Han, Manchu, Korean, and Mongolian traditions.
Jilin cuisine is the regional cooking style of the Han Chinese in Jilin Province, heavily influenced by Manchu, Korean, and Mongolian minorities. Fermentation is central due to short growing seasons and prolonged winters, with suan cai being prominent. The cold climate favors wheat, buckwheat, and sorghum over rice, leading to steamed buns and noodle dishes. Jilin cuisine is notable for extensive consumption of raw seafood and vegetables.
