炒黄瓜酱是满族人的饮食习惯，一年四季离不开豆酱，并且往往是以生菜蘸生酱佐饭。据说此习惯与清太祖努尔哈赤南征北战打天下有关。由于连年征战，加上行军中长期缺盐，军士们的体力明显下降。为此，每到一地，便征集豆酱，晒成酱坯，作为军中必须保证的给养品之一。野战用餐时，将士们便以酱代菜，或就地挖取野菜蘸酱佐饭。这种以生酱生菜为重要副食的军粮，竟然大大地提高了努尔哈赤大军的征战能力，所以后来满清进关入主北京后，为了不忘祖上创业之艰苦，便立下一条不成文的规矩：在宫廷膳食中，常要有一碟生酱和生菜。传到民间，相沿成习，所以至今在北方某些地区，每到春夏季节，以生菜生酱入餐桌，乃不失为一道时鲜佳味，并且确实有熟菜所难比拟的风味和营养。慈禧太后垂帘听政后，御厨们怕生酱生菜吃坏了老佛爷，为保饭碗又不违背祖制，便琢磨出几道放少许豆酱的菜肴，这就是后来有名的清宫四大酱菜，即炒黄瓜酱、炒榛子酱、炒豌豆酱、炒胡萝卜酱。    Royal cuisine is not only preciously made, but also implies special meanings.

   早在清代乾隆年间，汽锅鸡就流行在滇南一带。相传是监安府（今建水县）福德居厨师杨沥发明的吃法。那年皇帝巡视监安，知府为取悦天子，发出布告征求佳肴，选中的赏银50两。杨沥家贫，老母病重，为得重赏，他综合了当地吃火锅和蒸馒头的方法，创造了汽锅，又不顾生命危险，爬上燕子洞顶采来燕窝，想做一道燕窝汽锅鸡应征。不料汽锅被盗，杨沥被问欺君之罪，要杀头。幸而皇帝问明真相，免杨沥一死，并把福德居改名为“杨沥汽锅鸡”。从此汽锅鸡名声大振，成滇中名菜。那时汽锅鸡的做法很简单，但味道很醇正。     Kunming: Steam Pot Chicken 昆明：汽锅鸡 As far back as the period of the Qianlong Emperor in the Qing Dynasty, Steam Pot Chicken was popular in the south Yunnan.
