      Cooking Chinese Made Easy – An Essential Guide and Recipes - Sky Wong

      INTRODUCTION

      ––––––––

      Chinese cuisine is loved by people all over the world. No other ethnic cuisine seems to have the breadth and depth that Chinese cooking offers. The range of dishes is simply amazing.

      ––––––––

      Each style of Chinese cooking is influenced by the different regions in China. There are differences in cooking techniques and ingredients used that give each regional style its own distinct personality.

      ––––––––

      This is what makes Chinese food so popular. The wide range of flavors can satisfy almost any palate. There are dishes that can wake up your taste buds with spices and there are dishes that calm and soothe your palate. There is something for everybody. It is no surprise that even in the smallest of cities, you can often find a Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood.

      ––––––––

      Chinese cooking may seem difficult to learn because there are so many different styles and flavors to master. However, cooking Chinese food is actually not that difficult.

      ––––––––

      The Chinese culture is one that is centered on simplicity and versatility. There are basic techniques and ingredients that are essential in all styles of Chinese cooking. Once you get familiar with those essential ingredients and master those cooking techniques, you will feel more comfortable in exploring more complex dishes and in adding your own creativity to create wonderful dishes in the Chinese spirit.

      ––––––––

      Because of the diversity in Chinese cooking, it would take more than a whole set of encyclopedias to talk about the dishes in each pocket of region. This short book serves as an introduction to the basics, upon which you can improvise and create your own amazing Chinese dishes.

      ––––––––

      It will introduce you to the cooking utensils that you will need. It will go over the Chinese ingredients and condiments that you should have if you intend to cook Chinese style often. There will be simple recipes to get your started. So, put on your apron and get ready for your cooking adventure!

      REGIONAL CHINESE COOKING - WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

      ––––––––

      What images and flavors come to your mind when you think about Chinese food? If you ask five different people, you may get five different answers. That is because Chinese cooking is influenced by the distinct geographic regions and provinces in China.

      ––––––––

      There are 14 general areas comprised of eight provinces and six other regions. The eight provinces are: Sichuan, Fujian, Shandong, Hunan, Cantonese, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu. Among these, Sichuan and Cantonese are probably what most of the non-Chinese population have experienced because they make up a large portion of the Chinese restaurants in western cities.

      ––––––––

      The other six regional Chinese cuisines are: Northern, Mongolian, Tibetan, Xinjiang Muslim, Southern Minority, and Taiwanese. Mongolian Beef is one of the most popular dishes in Chinese restaurants.

      ––––––––

      The different food styles are influenced by the regional farm life, climate, religion and minority culture. The regions of Mongolia and Tibet are largely pastoral. So, you will find many dishes based on dairy products, beef and lamb.

      ––––––––

      Southern Mongolia is mountainous, so that cuisine includes more game meat.

      Taiwan is somewhat isolated from the rest of China geographically and politically.
