Sobre la cocina taiwanesa

La cocina taiwanesa acumula oleadas de inmigración en la despensa de una isla. Los colonos Hokkien de Fujian trajeron tortillas de ostras y cerdo estofado sobre arroz (lu rou fan); Las comunidades hakka contribuyeron con salteados económicos y hojas de mostaza en conserva; Cincuenta años de dominio japonés dejaron tianbula estilo tempura, cultura bento y el gusto por los mariscos de calidad sashimi. Después de 1949, los que llegaron al continente agregaron las tradiciones de Sichuan, Shanghai y el trigo del norte, que es cómo la sopa de fideos con carne, posiblemente el plato nacional, fusionó la pasta de chile y frijoles de Sichuan con los hábitos locales de estofado.

El centro de gravedad de la cocina es el mercado nocturno. Los puestos en el mercado Shilin de Taipei o en el mercado Tainan's Garden producen tofu apestoso, gua bao (panceta de cerdo estofada en panecillos al vapor), fideos de ostras y panecillos de pimienta horneados contra las paredes de un horno tipo tandoor. Los sabores son ligeramente dulces y aromáticos en lugar de picantes: la salsa de soja, el vino de arroz, el azúcar de roca, las chalotas fritas y la pimienta blanca hacen la mayor parte del trabajo, con albahaca y ajo para terminar platos como tres tazas de pollo (san bei ji).

Los cocineros caseros preparan las comidas alrededor de una olla arrocera, a menudo la icónica marca Tatung, y cuecen arroz al vapor mientras los estofados se cuecen a fuego lento. Una cena típica consiste en arroz más tres o cuatro platos pequeños: carne estofada con soja, espinacas salteadas con ajo, una sopa sencilla y tal vez un pepinillo frío. Lu wei, el estofado maestro de huevos, tofu y algas, permite que una sola olla de líquido sazonado sazone una semana de guarniciones.

Lu Rou Fan

Panceta de cerdo picada estofada con soja, vino de arroz, chalotas fritas y cinco especias, servida sobre arroz: el plato reconfortante que define a Taiwán.

Sopa De Fideos Con Carne

Xiao chi (comidas pequeñas) como tortillas de ostras, bollos de pimienta, tofu apestoso y gua bao definen cómo los taiwaneses comen fuera de casa.

Cocinar en tres tazas

Los platos de San bei guisan pollo o calamares en partes iguales de salsa de soja, vino de arroz y aceite de sésamo, y terminan con hojas enteras de albahaca.

Chalotes Fritos Y Pimienta Blanca

Las chalotas crujientes fritas y la pimienta blanca molida son el condimento de fondo de casi todos los platos de estofado, sopa y arroz.

Estofado de caldo maestro (Lu Wei)

Un líquido reutilizable para estofar con especias de soja le da sabor a huevos, tofu, algas marinas y despojos, y se vuelve más complejo cada vez que se usa.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre la cocina taiwanesa

¿Por qué es conocida la comida taiwanesa?▾

Taiwán es mejor conocido por la comida callejera de sus mercados nocturnos (tofu apestoso, gua bao, tortillas de ostras, bollos de pimienta), además de sopa de fideos con carne, lu rou fan (arroz con cerdo estofado) y té de burbujas, inventado en Taiwán en la década de 1980 (las casas de té de Taichung y Tainan lo afirman). El perfil general es salado-dulce, elaborado con salsa de soja, vino de arroz, chalotas fritas, ajo y albahaca en lugar de chile picante.

¿En qué se diferencia la comida taiwanesa de la comida china?▾

La cocina taiwanesa surgió de raíces fujianesas (Hokkien), pero absorbió influencias hakka, japonesas y regionales continentales posteriores a 1949, produciendo un estilo más ligero, más dulce y más especializado en mariscos. Los toques japoneses aparecen en la cultura bento y en la tianbula derivada de la tempura; Platos como la sopa de fideos con carne y el gua bao existen en sus formas icónicas sólo en Taiwán. La pimienta blanca y las chalotas fritas reemplazan el condimento más pesado de chile y pimienta de Sichuan del oeste de China.

¿La comida taiwanesa es picante?▾

Mayormente no. El paladar base es suave, sabroso y ligeramente dulce, condimentado con soja, ajo, albahaca y pimienta blanca. El chile aparece principalmente en la sopa de fideos con carne (a través de doubanjiang) y en condimentos de mesa opcionales, por lo que el picante suele ser algo que se agrega en lugar de algo incorporado. Las personas sensibles a las especias manejan fácilmente los menús taiwaneses.

¿Qué plato taiwanés debería cocinar primero un principiante?▾

Comience con lu rou fan. Solo necesita panceta de cerdo molida o cortada en cubitos, salsa de soja, vino de arroz, azúcar, cinco especias y chalotas fritas, cocidas a fuego lento durante 45 minutos y echadas sobre arroz. Tres tazas de pollo es un buen segundo proyecto: una sartén, partes iguales de salsa de soja, vino de arroz y aceite de sésamo, además de ajo, jengibre y albahaca.

¿Qué artículos de despensa necesito para la cocina taiwanesa?▾

Alimentos básicos: salsa de soja clara y oscura, vino de arroz taiwanés (michiu), aceite de sésamo, azúcar de roca, cinco especias en polvo, pimienta blanca, chalotas fritas y doubanjiang para sopa de fideos con carne. Los aromáticos frescos (ajo, jengibre, cebolletas y albahaca tailandesa) terminan la mayoría de los platos. El arroz de grano corto y los fideos de arroz secos cubren el lado del almidón de la despensa.
