Northern China’s hearty food is loved by Spanish and Westerners alike, for the big portions, strong flavours, and plethora of seasonings unique to North China. Restaurant Nordest is one of the few authentic and traditional Northern China experiences within Barcelona, near to the popular Chinese Food Markets on Sicilia with Gran Via. The neighbourhood is fast becoming a heavily Chinese food influenced zone within Barcelona, where Restaurant Nordest remains a gem for those looking for excellent and high-quality Chinese food for a good price.
Flavors To Expect – Rich, Bold, and Savoury
A strong flavor is very important for Northerners, who achieve this with strong seasonings, compared with the South where chilies and pickles are more used, or dishes are lighter in flavor. Generally, northern dishes are richer in meat, and make liberal use of garlic and scallions.
The most popular seasonings used are soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, scallions, ginger, leeks, star anise, sweet bean sauces, chili peppers, garlic, and sesame oil. Northern chefs skillfully make use of seasonings to add richness to its dishes without covering up the natural flavor of the ingredients.
Dishes Are Served in Big Portions
Northern people are enthusiastic, generous, and very hospitable. They drink liquor with big bowls, and eat meat in big pieces. Therefore northern dishes are generally served in big portions.
Typical cooking methods of Northern cuisine are stewing (most popular), roasting, stir-frying, and deep-frying.
El menjar del nord de Xina és estimat pels espanyols i occidentals, per les grans porcions, els sabors forts i la gran quantitat de condiments únics al nord de la Xina. El restaurant Nordest és una de les poques experiències autèntiques i tradicionals del nord de Xina a Barcelona (Sicilia amb Gran Via), propera als populars Mercats Alimentaris Xinesos. El barri s’està convertint ràpidament en una zona molt influenciada per l’alimentació xinesa a Barcelona, on el Restaurant Nordest segueix sent una joia per a aquells que busquen menjar xinès d’excel·lent qualitat per a un bon preu.
