What kind of dish is Beef stroganoff⁇

This is a dish I’ve always wanted to make ♡ It’s so easy to make! Once in a while, it’s nice to have a slightly unusual dish because it’s fresh ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Beef stroganoff is a stew dish that is one of Russia’s national dishes. It is made by sautéing beef, onions, and mushrooms and adding smetana (sour cream).

Since its creation in Russia in the mid-19th century, it has become popular all over the world, with numerous variations on the original recipe.

Beef stroganoff made in Russia has a whitish appearance because it uses a lot of sour cream, but beef stroganoff in Japan is brown in color. This is because demi-glace sauce is added to make it more suitable for Japanese tastes.

Unfamiliar sour cream is only used in small amounts as a garnish. Therefore, Japanese beef stroganoff is very similar to hashed beef, hayashi rice, and beef stew.

What kind of food is sour cream⁇

Sour cream is a dairy product made by fermenting fresh cream with lactic acid bacteria.

It looks white, has a soft texture similar to yogurt or cream cheese, and has a sour taste.

In Japan, it is only known for its use in borscht and beef stroganoff.

Cream cheese and sour cream are both made by adding lactic acid bacteria to milk and fermenting it, but sour cream is a paste with a strong sour taste, and cream cheese is rich and firm, almost solid.

Also, sour cream is made only from fresh cream, while cream cheese is made from milk and cream.
