Learning to Cook Chinese Cuisine

The Chinese cuisine is incredibly diverse and rich, with different cooking styles in the south and the north, in the west and the east of the country. However, there are some commonalities among all its regional variations. First and foremost, there are numerous dishes made from rice and noodles, the active use of spices, and the combination of all necessary components in one dish to serve as a tasty and complete meal. This is why the recipes in this book are not organized by the usual principle of types of dishes, but by the main ingredient — in Chinese cuisine, it is difficult to draw a line between appetizers and main courses, and a hearty soup with many ingredients can become a full lunch or dinner.
