The remarkable depth and breadth in Chinese cuisine stems from China’s myriad of cultures, people and long history.

Chinese cuisine uses many different cooking methods, such as roasting, braising, steaming, deep-frying or smoking. A wide range of local ingredients are used, including poultry, garlic, spring onion, leek, spices, chillies, vegetables, ginger and bean sauces. Local food typically contains fragrant soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, portioned carefully into each dish. Indeed, precision is the name of the game in Chinese cooking, and many years of training are often needed before a chef is able to master the whole gamut of Chinese cuisine.
