== Introduction ==
'''Liaoning Food''' covers both '''Liaocai (辽菜)''' and the foodways of Liaoning's 14 prefecture-level cities. Liaocai draws on inland produce, coastal ingredients, urban and rural cooking, and Manchu, Korean, Mongolian and Hui traditions. The provincial skills authority describes a cuisine shaped by court, official, popular, folk and ethnic cooking; it notes methods such as braising, stewing, roasting, quick-frying and sauce cooking.<ref name="liaocai">[https://rst.ln.gov.cn/rst/gdztzl/lnsdyjnds/sxjs/xdfw/C9F47F263D504F72953227FD9F24A15F/index.shtml Liaoning Cuisine: Occupational Skills Introduction] — Liaoning Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security</ref>


Liaoning cuisine is a kind of local cuisine established according to the ethnic characteristics, regional characteristics, culinary custom and cooking techniques in the inland areas of Liaoning.
Liaoning has no single menu that represents every city. The examples below are regional markers recorded in Liaoning's 2024 city food guide and other provincial food selections; those selections are time-specific guides, not rankings or exhaustive inventories.<ref name="cityguide">[https://swt.ln.gov.cn/swt/ywxx/tzgg/2024102916531538698/ 美市美食：辽宁各市地标美食] — Liaoning Provincial Department of Commerce (2024-10-29)</ref>


Liaoning cuisine is a unique cuisine formed by using the green food ingredients and unique cooking techniques, combined with different ethnic food culture and customs in the inland areas of Liaoning Province. The basic framework of Liaoning cuisine consists of Qing Dynasty royal court cuisine, monarch family (official) cuisine, popular cuisine, folk cuisine, and ethnic cuisine.

== Liaocai and Representative Dishes ==
'''Liaocai''' is the provincial cuisine tradition within the wider food map. Provincial descriptions emphasize generous use of local ingredients and a broad technique repertoire, including braising (烧), stewing (炖), roasting (烤), quick-frying (爆炒) and sauce cooking. Local food lists show both inland meat and grain dishes and coastal seafood; the combination varies by place.<ref name="liaocai" /><ref name="cityguide" />


A Liaoning commerce department selection published in 2023 named ten representative Liaocai dishes, including seafood assortments associated with Dalian, reservoir fish in Fushun, charcoal-grilled snails from Donggang, Yingkou bighead carp, Liaoyang sauerkraut hot pot, Panjin crab tofu and Tieling pressure-pot chicken. It was a named selection, not a permanent ranking of the province's dishes.<ref name="tenliaocai">[https://swt.ln.gov.cn/swt/tzgg/2023072517333754648/index.shtml 辽宁“十大辽菜”名单公布] — Liaoning Provincial Department of Commerce (2023-07-25)</ref>

== History ==
 
Since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Shengjing (Shenyang) was a prosperous place of the Qing Dynasty. As the capital of the Qing Dynasty was built in Shenyang, Liaoing cuisine was deeply influenced by the Manchu food style. The elaborate and exquisite royal court cuisine, the value and taste of the monarch family cuisine, the widely welcomed popular cuisine, and the deep local culture of folk cuisine formed the broad-mindedness of Liaoning cuisine.
 
The restaurants and snack bars such as Lumingchun, Dongtingchun, Mingchun Lake, Shaoyuan Hotel, Xiangxue Restaurant, Nanxuan Restaurant, Jubin Restaurant in Shenyang; Qunying Restaurant and Seafood Restaurant in Dalian; Wufangzhai Restaurant in Jinzhou; Xiaolou Restaurant in Yingkou; Fulai Garden in Liaoyang, etc. constitute the original school framework and market system of Liaoning cuisine.
 
At the beginning of the 20th century, Liaoning cuisine absorbed the essence of the traditional cooking techniques of royal court cuisine, [[Beijing Food|Beijing cuisine]] and [[Shandong Food|Shandong cuisine]], and integrated the characteristics of Manchu, Mongolian, Korean and Han ethnic cuisines as well as the special resources in Northeast China, forming Liao cuisine’s characteristics of the rich dishes, distinct-seasoned ingredients, rich taste, and paying attention to the dish styling.
 
Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Northeast Bureau of the CPC Central Committee has been established in Shenyang for nearly 30 years, in addition, Liaoning is also one of the heavy industry bases in China, Liaoning cuisine has developed accordingly.
 
 
== Cooking ==
 
 
The ingredient selection of Liao cuisine is very extensive and exquisite, paying great attention to the use of local specialty, mellow and fragrant is not only the main feature of Liaoning cuisine flavor, but also the core characteristics of Liaoning cuisine. Hot & spicy, taste of five-spicies, sweet & salty, sweet & sour, tomato juice taste, sour & spicy, sweet flavor and other delicious dishes account for a large proportion. Generally speaking, Liaoning cuisine belongs to a kind of popular dishes with low price, good quality, large quantity and affordable price in the catering market.
 
== Popular Food ==
 
"Ban La Pi"(cold dish of cucumber, pepper and ridge meat), Pickled Cabbage Vermicelli, Stir-fried Potato Chips with Chili Slices, Stewed Pork with Beans, Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms, Stewed Catfish with Eggplant and, of course, the Banquet of a Newly-butchered Pig—these dishes are loved by diners at home and abroad for a long time.

Liaoning Food covers both Liaocai (辽菜) and the foodways of Liaoning's 14 prefecture-level cities. Liaocai draws on inland produce, coastal ingredients, urban and rural cooking, and Manchu, Korean, Mongolian and Hui traditions. The provincial skills authority describes a cuisine shaped by court, official, popular, folk and ethnic cooking; it notes methods such as braising, stewing, roasting, quick-frying and sauce cooking.[1]

Liaoning has no single menu that represents every city. The examples below are regional markers recorded in Liaoning's 2024 city food guide and other provincial food selections; those selections are time-specific guides, not rankings or exhaustive inventories.[2]

Liaocai and Representative Dishes

Liaocai is the provincial cuisine tradition within the wider food map. Provincial descriptions emphasize generous use of local ingredients and a broad technique repertoire, including braising (烧), stewing (炖), roasting (烤), quick-frying (爆炒) and sauce cooking. Local food lists show both inland meat and grain dishes and coastal seafood; the combination varies by place.[1][2]

A Liaoning commerce department selection published in 2023 named ten representative Liaocai dishes, including seafood assortments associated with Dalian, reservoir fish in Fushun, charcoal-grilled snails from Donggang, Yingkou bighead carp, Liaoyang sauerkraut hot pot, Panjin crab tofu and Tieling pressure-pot chicken. It was a named selection, not a permanent ranking of the province's dishes.[3]

Coastal Seafood and Local Foodways

Liaoning's coastal food belt includes Dalian, Dandong, Jinzhou, Yingkou, Panjin and Huludao. Government cultural-tourism material highlights Dalian sea cucumber, Dandong yellow clams, Jinzhou barbecue and Panjin river crab among the region's food markers.[4]

  • Dalian: sea cucumber, sea urchin, mixed seafood, salty-fish flatbread, sea jelly and clam-and-green-bean noodles.
  • Dandong: yellow clams and crab, alongside Korean-style kimchi, rice cakes, rice sausage and cold noodles.
  • Jinzhou: barbecue, smoked chicken and smoked pork trotters.
  • Yingkou: mackerel, jellyfish, sea cucumber and seafood-filled soup dumplings.
  • Panjin: river crab, crab tofu and rice products.
  • Huludao: turbot, local fish and Suizhong water tofu.

These are examples rather than a complete inventory; coastal cuisine also varies by season, catch and locality.[2][4]

Street Food, Breakfast and Snacks

Street foods and everyday meals differ across the province. Liaoning's 2021 provincial snack selections included city specialties such as Jinzhou barbecue, Fushun mala ban, Niuzhuang meat pies, Tieling fire cakes, Dalian sea jelly and clam-and-green-bean noodles, and Lingyuan tofu pudding. The selections were published as a dated food promotion, not as an exhaustive list.[5]

Noodles, Rice and Wheat Foods

Wheat foods are prominent in northern Liaoning, while the coast and river plains add seafood noodles and rice dishes.

Liaoning's drinks include regional teas, grain spirits, rice wines and locally produced wines. Laolongkou in Shenyang is associated with a traditional baijiu-brewing craft listed in Liaoning's provincial intangible cultural heritage records.[6] Huanren ice wine appears in the provincial public list of agricultural-product brands; it is a local wine product, distinct from grain baijiu.[7]

  • Baijiu (白酒): Laolongkou, Shenyang; the brewery's traditional craft is documented in the provincial heritage list.[6]
  • Ice wine: Huanren, Benxi, included in the province's agricultural-brand catalogue.[7]
  • Huangjiu and other grain drinks: local examples and production traditions are recorded among Liaoning's food-related intangible heritage; availability and styles vary by producer.[8]

Liaoning's agricultural brand catalogue groups products by locality, including Panjin rice and river crab, Dalian cherries and sea cucumber, Dandong strawberries and clams, Anshan Nanguo pear, Fuxin millet, Tieling hazelnuts and Huanren ice wine. These are regional product examples, not a ranking of food brands.[7]

Fermented and preserved foods are part of local foodways. Dandong Korean-style kimchi, pickled vegetables used in sauerkraut hot pot, and preserved seafood appear in regional food and heritage materials; preparation and seasoning vary among communities and households.[8][2]

Cooking Techniques and Food Crafts

Liaoning cooking uses multiple techniques rather than one defining method. The provincial skills description includes braising, stewing, roasting, sauce cooking and fast stir-frying. City food selections further document smoking, charcoal grilling, hot-pot cooking and seafood preparation.[1][2]

Food-related heritage also includes brewing and local preservation practices. Provincial cultural-tourism material documents food traditions across ethnic and regional communities, while Panjin's heritage listings include sauce-braising, clam preparation, grain-spirit making and cellaring, and Korean-style side-dish preparation.[8][9]
