How is Manchurian cuisine different from regular Chinese cuisine.?
It’s different mostly in ways that follow from its climate. North-eastern Chinese cooking is more wheat-based than most Chinese cusines, has a lot more stews and braised dishes, and uses more grazing animals (beef and lamb) compared to the fish, poultry, and pork that dominate in other regions. You could also probably find some of a Russian influence if you looked hard enough. They also like their booze strong! (It gets cold in the winters up there).
