I like chinese foods. They are so delicious!There are four major cooking styles in China: Sichuan, Cantonese, Shandong and Huaiyang, each distinctly different. Restaurants in Beijing cater to all these regional styles. Sichuan cuisine is distinctly spicy. Chili peppers, huajiao ( mild Chinese pepper), black peppers and fresh ginger are indispensable ingredients. Ingredients in Cantonese food range from fish, shrimp and poultry to snake, wildcat and giant salamander. Snake dishes have been part of the Cantonese diet for 2,000 years. The most famous dish is called "Combat between the dragon and the tiger". The dragon is a cobra, and the tiger is a spotted cat. Dim sum, or Yum Cha, as it is commonly referred to in English, is something like a local institution in Canton. Thanks to its coastline, the province excels in fish and seafood dishes such as sea cucumber, "squirrel fish", jumbo prawns, crab and eel. Simmering, boiling or baking in earthenware pots over a low fire are a feature of this cuisine. Jiangsu specialties are "West Lake Fish" and "Beggar's Chicken", baked in lotus leaves in a clay pot. Legend has it that a Hangzhou thief invented "Beggar's Chicken". As the thief had no stove, he wrapped the stolen bird in clay and baked it in a hole in the ground. Enjoy them!!!
