One Cookbook with All 4 Major Chinese Cooking Styles

Learn how to cook the most popular dishes from four major regions in China.

  • Beijing. Beijing cuisine is also called "mandarin cuisine". Many of the foods in this region are wheat-based (as a opposed to rice-based). Beijing cuisine consists of a variety of dumplings, baked and steamed breads, various buns and noodles.

    Mandarin-style meals usually include vegetable dishes, soups, tofu (soybean curd), and fish. The food is mild in taste, is often slightly oily, and vinegar and garlic are common ingredients; food is frequently fried, stewed, or braised.
     

  • Cantonese. From Canton or "Guangdong" Province in the southeastern part of China (the same area as Hong Kong), Cantonese food is the mildest and most common kind of Chinese food in the United States and many other countries.

    Cantonese food tends to be more colorful, less spicy and is usually stir fried, which preserves both the texture and flavor.
     

  • Szechwan and Hunan. Food from the Szechwan (or "Four Rivers") basin is characteristic south-western Chinese food. Food throughout the western regions of China are liberal in their use of garlic, scallions, and chilly. Consequently, it's the spiciest region of Chinese food available and certainly very tasty. When prepared in a traditional manner, many of the dishes are very hot, although banquet dishes tend to be milder.

    Sichuan food is distinguished by its hot peppery taste, while food from neighboring Hunan province is richer and a bit more oily, and may be either spicy and hot or sweet and sour. Chicken, pork, river fish, and shellfish are all popular items.

Choose your favorite dishes based on different styles. But never limit yourself from one style. You can always find wonderful dishes from every cooking style.






Healthy Diet with Sacrificing Flavor

Is it possible to eat healthy and enjoy it?

Eating healthy is something all of us hear about. Do you know how to eat healthy? The truth is there are certain diets that are just naturally healthy but lacking in taste. There are plenty of diets that are great in taste but too high in fat, sugar or other ingredients to be considered healthy. Then, there is authentic Chinese cuisine which manages to provide both wonderful flavor and satisfying meals plus a healthy diet that can make a difference in quality of life, level of energy and weight. Chinese cooking, done right, is naturally a healthy choice. How important is it to eat healthy these days? Let's look at a few facts about nutritional choices and the results of those choices:

1. Over a billion people worldwide are now overweight and 300 million are clinically obese. People who are overweight have a higher risk of developing serious health problems in later life, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bowel cancer, and high blood pressure. Most people put on excess weight because their lifestyles include an unhealthy diet and a lack of physical activity.

2. According to Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, post-menopausal women may reduce their risk of developing cancer by 35% if they eat a healthy diet and lead a healthy lifestyle. This result was based on 29,564 post-menopausal women, aged 55-69 for a research period of 13 years.

3. People who ate three or more servings of fruit per day have 36% lower risk of developing the sight loss than people who ate less than one and a half servings per day. (According to Archives of Ophthalmology)

4. Eat low fat food regularly can reduce the chance of developing heart disease and certain cancers.

5. Calorie reduction can increase life expectancy by up to 30 percent

6.Vitamins can cut cancer death rates by 37%

7. Foods that contain the mineral selenium and plant-based chemical sulforaphane in combination may have a 13 times greater ability to protect against cancer than when the food compounds are used separately.

This list can go on and on. But I think you've got the point:

Eat healthy and balanced food daily can protect us from developing major health problems like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure.

Ancient Chinese philosophy has a very important influence in Chinese food culture.  To begin to understand it, consider the familiar yin/yang symbol.


You have seen the traditional symbol for the forces of yin and yang, sometimes described as two fish swimming head to tail. The left half is yin and the right half is yang. Taken literally, yin and yang mean the dark side and sunny side of a hill.

People commonly think of yin and yang as opposing forces. However, it is really more appropriate to view them as complementary pairs. The Chinese believe problems arise not when the two forces are battling, but when there is an imbalance between them. Floods, divorce, or even a fire in the kitchen - all can be attributed to disharmony in the forces of yin and yang.

How does the concept of yin and yang relate to food?

A basic adherence to this philosophy can be found in ANY Chinese dish, from stir-fried beef with broccoli to sweet and sour pork. There is always a balance in color, flavors, and textures.

However, belief in the importance of following the principles of yin and yang in the diet extends further.

Certain foods have yin properties, while others have yang properties - Cooling or warm, fat or non-fat, high-calorie or low- calorie, and etc.

Almost no foodstuff is purely yin or yang - it's more that one characteristic tends to dominate. It also reinforces that it is not so much the individual ingredients, as the the balance and contrast between ingredients in each dish, that is important. Interestingly, cooking methods also have more of a yin or yang property, as the list below demonstrates.

 

Cooking Methods:

Yin Qualities:  Boiling, Poaching and Steaming

Yang Qualities:  Deep-frying, Roasting and Stir-frying

 

Types of Foods: 
Yin Foods:  Bean sprouts, cabbage, carrots, crab, cucumber, duck tofu, watercress and water
Yang Foods:  Bamboo, beef, chicken, eggs, ginger, glutinous rice, mushrooms, sesame oil and wine
 
Chinese food emphasizes on consuming a diet that contains a healthy balance between yin and yang. You'll find most Chinese dishes are made of a mixture of ingredients and each meal is made up of a combination of dishes.

That's why:
  • You always get a cup of steamed rice for every entree
     

  • There is usually vegetable mixed with meat entree
     

  • A fried dish usually comes with a steamed dish or soup


I know you have already realized that Chinese cooking is healthy and balanced food that is good for your health.

Actually according to a survey held by the food industry,

  • 72.4% people think that Chinese cooking is healthy
     

  • 89.3% people like Chinese food
     

  • 67.8% people would like to cook Chinese food if they know how

Recipes with 173 Colorful Pictures!


Chinese cuisine aims for perfection and balance among four elements in each dish: color, aroma or fragrance, flavor, and presentation. Colors should be pleasing, showing that the ingredients are fresh and tender. Aromas should be appetizing. Finally, the dish should be beautifully arranged and presented. Good Chinese cooking is also distinguished by its meticulous cutting, careful blending of seasonings, and attention to temperature control.

With this in mind, I feel it's better if I can add pictures into the cookbook. I know it's a little bit scary to cook Chinese food by yourself for the first time - You never know how the dish should look like.
