Speaking of which, the taste of this dish is also related to "international relations." At that time, the Guandao Yamen, which was an important official institution in the north, has a history of more than 100 years (at No. 20 Street outside Harbin) and often had to entertain foreign guests, especially Russian guests. Russians like sweet and sour tastes, and the salty and strong taste of northern food makes them uncomfortable. In order to please the big-nosed foreigners, the chefs were ordered to change the taste. Zheng Xingwen (a famous chef whose family is a Bannerman and whose father lives in Liaoning) thought hard and changed the original salty "charred pork slices" into sweet and sour dishes. Russian guests like this dish very much and they must order it every time they come to eat. Zheng Xingwen named this dish "Guobaorou" based on the cooking procedure. Russians always pronounce the dish incorrectly when ordering. Over time, it evolved into today's "Guobaorou".
