hi, China has developed a great variety of local and regional food flavors through thousands of years. So what kind of Chinese food do you wan to learn to cook?

There are eight styles of distinct regional cooking in China. Of them, the most influential and representative ones are the culinary styles of Lu, Chuan, Yue, Min, Su, Zhe, Xiang and Hui. Each culinary style is inseparable from its long history and influenced by geography, climate, resources, specialties and dining habits of each area. Some descriptions of the eight culinary schools are: the cuisines of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been compared to delicate beauties of the Yangtze River Delta; those of Shandong and Anhui have been compared to simple but sturdy men of the north; those of Guangdong and Fujian are compared to elegant nobles; those of Sichuan and Hunan are likened to people with substantial and varied accomplishments. The cooking techniques of each of the Chinese culinary schools are unique and the dishes have their own distinguished characteristics.

Chinese trditional medicine in different place owns different characters. But there is some thing in common, that is Chinese traditional medicine is on the basic of herbs.

As far as i know, there is no change in this point, the same as before.

I think it dipends on the part of China you are. I think that Chinese Resturant in Italy are definitly too oiled!

It depends how you cook it. Eat hot pot if you don't want to gain weight.

Yes!!

mostly

does cat like chines food?

US serves better chinese food

I think it's better now than before when people do not have nough to eat

yes, they think they treat you well if you serve you oily food

That's true! Last time, I took some weight in a month! But go for it: you will lose it when you be back at home!

It has a lot of of variety, you can find oily but also you can find a lot of vegetables, and not so oily food. the trick is to combien oily with not oily.

I do not think so

This is surely because of the idea of stir frys etc - this can be true but as long as it is eaten in moderation. A lot of the ingredients are very good for you and are only lightly fried - the oil should be the smallest quantity in the dish and therefore the meal is on the whole low in saturated fat or good cholesterol.

Believe me, eating out / tourist food in every country is extremely fatty if you don't vary your diet or take regular exercise.

i have been in china for 6 weeks now and have lost weight even though i eat treats, and mostly eat at restaurants. the food is very different from my diet at home and i find the bones in the meat not to my taste so tend to eat fried noddles or friend rice. i also try the local dishes of where ever i am. most of my meals are very oily and when my Chinese friends cook they use a lot of oil. but as you will find you do a lot of walking in china so it kind of evens things out i think. i definitely feel more toned since i got here and have dropped a dress size already so i really would not worry about the oil if it is only a holiday.

depenends on what you eat

depend on the food u choose!

It depends again where you are in China. China is so big....
Certain Szechuan food is very spicy and very oily but it is becoming more popular. Real food goers dont care when they travel. They just want to taste all the goodies local food.

I don't think so. Some are oily, most are not.

That ain't true if you don't take fried stuff only. You can eat very well in restaurants where chinese people go.

Depends where you go. In Wuhan they LOVE fried food, you will see woks of hot oil at most street food vendors - they even fry tofu. You can avoid it though if you want to go healthier and I didn't put on weight over there.

Yes u r right, but they eat it with chop sticks and then u eat lot of stuff and the oil remains in the dish. When we were in China, me n my wife never gained weight, though eating a lot out.

I live in China for 3 years already and eat much Chinese food. When I came here, I loose weight very quickly. 95 to 77 kilo in 3-4 months. But some of my friends only gain weight here. So, I think it depends on your metabolism.

I totally disagree, because chinese food is versatile, they can be sweet, salty, sour and spicy and that depend on the native eating habit and their living life style. Do you know that people how do hard work and sweat alot, they take more salt than normal people.
My point is not what dishes you had, is depend on people that cook the foods.

I''ve been studying in China for a year. They do use a lot of oil. My host grandma uses a lot. Even my friend''s host mom claims that China uses a lot of oil in their food, especially her own housekeeper which she tries her best to tell her not to use so much. I think the only fresh food I had, was this kind of radish mixed with sesame oil, salt and pepper. Not fried or cooked in anyway. In addition, I''ve eaten really oily food to the point of having oil dripping down my chin. It''s causing me acne problems. I had to switch to a stronger acne cleanser. For gaining weight though, I''m not so sure. You would be traveling so people tend to gain more weight since they''re trying new foods in different countries. So far, I haven''t gained weight, but I know many other students who have since the food is cheaper here causing them to spend more money on food and snacks.

yes, i think so.

yeah，we like food good tasting.The fried food is my favorite food.

I do not think so , there is just a small part of the food being oil ,so if you do not eat too much ,you won''t gain weight.

yes but u can also eat it in a healthy way like chinese people do

Not always. There are lots of Chinese food that are steamed. As a rule of thumb, especially in seafood, they only steam the freshest ones. For example, it is most likely the steamed fish is much fresher than a fish cooked in thick and spicy sauce.

I don''t think so. Most areas in china usually cook in steamed or boiled methods, especially in south cities.

Regional cultural differences vary greatly amongst the different regions of China, giving rise to the different styles of food. There are eight main regional cuisines, or Eight Great Traditions: Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang. Occasionally, Beijing cuisine and Shanghai cuisine are also cited along with the aforementioned eight regional styles as the Ten Great Traditions. There are also featured Buddhist and Muslim sub-cuisines within the greater Chinese cuisine, with an emphasis on vegetarian and halal-based diets respectively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_cuisine

there are all kinds of food in China. Many food don't made by oil. for example, people near sea cook crab only with water. if you control fire well, it is a delicious food.

OF course not. Chineese food is said to be the most healthy food all over the world. It is cooked with a little oil and most vegetables. It is suitable for all the people, especial for children and elder.

That depends. There are many cuisines in China with different characteristics. Some are light but some are oily.

yes，a little。But some food cooked without oil。

Yes its true too greesy and salty very bad for hi cholestrol and high blood pressure. At times its used to mask the freshnesss of the ingredient. This is especially in the inland area where refrigeration is not a norm and salt is used to preserve the meat.

Yeah, that is probably true, people cook with a lot of oil because we need to fry them. But there are also steam food and boiled food. Talking about gaining weight, people may gain more weight from western food due to a lot of fat (cheese, butter....) and sugar (desert), while the Chinese eat more vegetables and grains.

Thanks for the answer, that IS a very smart advice. Thanks to the Chinese.

It means:If we don't waste what we have, we'll still have it in the future and will not lack (want) it. In the old days, this ethnic prevailed, and at home mothers encouraged their children to clean their plates.
