Chinese cuisine (Traditional Chinese: 中國菜 or 中餐, Simplified Chinese: 中国菜 or 中餐) originated from the various regions of China and has become widespread in many other parts of the world — from Asia to the Americas, Australia, Western Europe and Southern Africa. In recent years, connoisseurs of Chinese cuisine have also sprouted in Eastern Europe and South Asia. American Chinese cuisine and Canadian Chinese food are popular examples of local varieties. Regional cultural differences vary greatly within China, giving rise to the different styles of food across the nation. Traditionally there are eight main regional cuisines, or Eight Great Traditions (八大菜系): Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan and Zhejiang. Sometimes four of the Eight Great Traditions are given greater emphasis (四大菜系), and are considered to be the dominate culinary heritage of China. They are notably defined along geographical lines: Sichuan (Western China), Cantonese (Southern China),Shandong (Northern China), as well as Huaiyang Cuisine (Eastern China), a major style derived from Jiangsu cuisine and even viewed as the representation of that region's cooking. In modern times, Beijing cuisine and Shanghai cuisine on occasion are also cited along with the classical eight regional styles as the Ten Great Traditions (十大菜系). There are also featured Buddhist and Muslim sub-cuisines within the greater Chinese cuisine, with an emphasis on vegetarian and halal-based diets respectively. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by PrimeD - Sat Sep 6 00:33:23 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Lots of things: Chinese cuisine likes to mix things together (stir fries, sechuan chicken, etc) and serves each different dish in succession. Often there will be only one dish of food at the table at a time and everyone will share. Chinese food uses a lot of oil (all that frying), and a lot of sweetening. Chinese food also makes a lot of use of more "exotic" ingredients, like coconut and bat, has more meat than Japanese food (though less seafood). Chinese noodles tend to be thinner and firmer than the Japanese. For spicing, the chinese use ginger, and peppercorns, cinnamon, cloves, fennel, anise--the "five spices". Japanese cuisine keeps everything very separated when it's served, even something like noodles and tempura with soy… [cont.] Answered by Ying Ding Aing - Sat Sep 6 01:34:53 2008 What types of Chinese cuisine is their?

Q. what are the similarities between Japanese and Chinese cuisine? pls help me answer my home economics homework? Asked by rose - Mon Sep 29 06:49:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. the similarities must start with the ingredients. RICE, fish, pork, eggs, noodles, onions, peppers, garlic etc. they both incorporate the option of soy and teriyaki as well. they have some of the same dishes, essentially. but for the most part mainly are prepared and or served differently. soup is a common appetizer, chinese is normally hot and sour, or egg drop. japanese seems to always be bean curd soup with green onions. all three are great soups. i know they both serve tea, and i know not to order a japanese beer in a chinese restaurant lol their dishes are verry different, but what i notice is that they are usually served in the same style. different size bowls for different things, and plates for others. and they both use chopsticks… [cont.] Answered by K.C. - Mon Sep 29 09:09:03 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Chinese cuisine"
