Assalamualaikum and a
very Good day to all my readers. Hope all of you in a pink of health. J
Now, let me share to
you about Chinese Cuisine. We are alert and knows that all the dishes in
Chinese people were based on garlics and shallots, it is different with Malay
and Indian as these two were using spices and chillies. But in Chinese cuisine,
they also used that thing but in a small quantity.
The development and diversity of the delights of Chinese cuisine are
also representative of China's long history. With each dynasty new recipes were
created until the art of food preparation reach its peak during the Qing
Dynasty (1644 - 1911). The dinner called Man Han Quan Xi that incorporates all
the very best of Man and Han Cuisine is held in high esteem involving as it
does countless dishes, each with its own distinctive flavor and appeal. This
veritable banquet in its preparation and presentation typifies all of the
culture and culinary arts that have been perfected over centuries and is a
comprehensive amalgam of taste, instruments, and manners.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chinese cuisine is dainty, in its
items, esthetics, atmosphere, and effects.
Eight Cuisines
Chinese cuisine has a
number of different genres, but the most influential and typical known by the
public are the 'Eight Cuisines'. These are as follows: Shandong Cuisine,Guangdong Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine, Hunan Cuisine,Jiangsu Cuisine, Zhejiang Cuisine, Fujian Cuisine and Anhui Cuisine . The essential factors that establish the form of a
genre are complex and include history, cooking features, geography, climate,
resources and life styles. Cuisines from different regions are so distinctive
that sometimes despite the fact that two areas are geographical neighbors their
styles are completely alien.
Shandong Cuisine
This is the local
flavor of Jinan City and Jiaodong peninsula derived from the use of shallots
and garlic. Both restaurant chefs and those in families are expert in cooking
seafood, soups, meat
and offal. The recipes are those that once delighted the royal court and were
served to the emperor. The typical menu can include many delicate dishes such
as:
Braised abalone - smooth, delicate, fresh and savory
Sweet and Sour Carp - with crisp exterior and tender fish interior, a
little sweet and sour
Bree with a complex - clear, mild and fresh
'Eight Immortals Crossing Sea teasing Arhats' - This is a starter before
a celebration feast. It is luxurious and traditionally uses as its eight main
ingredients: fin, sea pumpkin, abalone, asparagus, prawns and ham. The stock is
flavored with fish's swimming bladder and fish bones. These symbolize the eight
immortals and the Arhats [Buddhist saints] are symbolized by the inclusion of
chicken breast.
Guangdong Cuisine
Guangdong Cuisine
takes fine and rare ingredients and is cooked with polished skills and in a
dainty style. It emphasizes a flavor which is clear but not light, refreshing
but not common, tender but not crude. In summer and autumn it pursues clarity
and in winter and spring, a little more substance. The sauteed dishes always
rely upon exquisite presentat ion involving cutting and carving skills. Typical
menu here can ultimately embody these characteristics:
