Speciality of Chinese Food

Quick cooking, economy, taste, nutrition, and variety.

Chinese cuisine holds a vast, largely untapped richness of family tradition, recipes that are passed down from generation to generation but are rarely written down. This is home-style or family-style cooking. It is a personal culinary expression. In spite of improved transportation and the institution of a national dialect, the Chinese still cling tenaciously to the provincial dishes of their home. People from Shanghai love Shanghai food and those from Peking (Beijing) prefer Peking food.

It’s a style of cooking that is simple to prepare. We stir-fry more than deep-fry; steam more than roast; use fresh, seasonal ingredients instead of exotic delicacies; and use less meat in favor of more fresh vegetables.

Besides a simpler approach to ingredients and cooking techniques, home style cooking is also quick and economical. Although highly processed foods, frozen dinners, and fast-food restaurants are practically unknown in China, the Chinese have their own prepared foods. Understanding and learning to use some of these convenience foods

Cooking is a variable science and art. It all depends upon the kind of stove you have, the type and quality of the cookware you are using, the temperature, the size and type of ingredients, and so on. Understanding some simple techniques and controlling these variables will help you master the Chinese cooking experience.
