Chinese Regional Cuisine Cooking, Methods, Techniques

Chinese cuisine can be divided into five culinary regions:

Northern China - Beijing/Mandarin and Shantung known especially for its steamed bread and noodle dishes.
South Eastern China - Cantonese and Chaozhou known for its lightly cooked meats and vegetables.
Western China - Sichuan or ChungKing known for its spicy dishes
Eastern China - Shanghainese known for its slow `red cooking.' Fukien known for its seafood and clear light soups.
Central China – Honan known for its carp from the yellow river
Tea has been the traditional beverage of choice all over China.  Today Coca-Cola and beer are making inroads into China and are popular throughout China.

Beijing/Mandarin/ Pekinese/Shantung Cuisine –
Peking has always been a great intellectual and cultural center.  This is also the site of the Imperial Palace and has exerted great cultural influence over time.  Its influence extended all over the northern plains, including Beijing; the fertile east, watered by the Yangtse river.  Peking was the gourmet capital of China until the 17th century.  Peking had a reputation of holding mammoth feasts and banquets attracting the country's best chefs.  Many of today’s Chinese restaurants draw inspiration from the imperial style which has red brocade, tasseled lanterns and lacquer furnishings.

A multi-course meal of Peking Duck is probably the best-known dish in this culinary school.   Imperial theatricality is also evident in the noodle-making exhibitions provided by culinary jugglers at some international Chinese restaurants. The elaborate ceremony of smashing open clay-baked Beggar's Chicken is another specialty dish.

The three-day Imperial Banquets, with their 365 dishes, are still talked about with awe and respect.   This school has dishes like sizzling Hilsa herrings, "toffee" apples and bananas, silk thread noodles, steamed breads, pancakes, onion cakes, dim sum pastries, delicious roasts and wine cooked meats in its repertoire. This school has a liberal use of garlic, scallions, leeks and chives.

 The northern region of China reaches into the hostile climate of Mongolia -- land of the Gobi Desert and Arctic winter winds. Mongolian influence on this school has been the use of mutton and lamb.  The cold region of the North is not suitable for rice cultivation so, wheat, barley, millet and soybeans are the staples; breads and noodles anchor the meal. Vegetables and fruits -- cabbage, squash, pears, grapes, and apples -- are the most popular.

Beijing Roast Duck Beijing kaoya

Cantonese Cuisine
Canton is China’s gateway to the West. There are cosmopolitan influences here and of all of China's regional cuisines, that of Canton (Quangtung) province is the most popular all over the world. The Chinese from this province, emigrated to Europe and America and took their cuisine with them. After the Ming Dynasty was overthrown many of its officers moved to this area and brought with them their chefs that were trained in the classical Peking style.These chefs took advantage of the abundance and variety of indiginious ingredients of this region.  Long, warm, wet days throughout the year create the perfect environment for cultivating most everything. The coast provides ample seafood, the groves are filled with fruits. The chefs adapted the Peking style to reflect more variety and freshness. The cuisine reached such heights that along with the French, the Cantonese believe that they "live to eat".

The Cantonese style  emphasizes the individual taste of each ingredient while blending taste and textures of many ingredients and the subtle use of condiments to give the palette the whole experience. Freshness is the keyword in Cantonese cuisine. Twice-daily trips to the market are common in this culinary school. There are few seasonings (soy sauce, ginger root and wine) and favors the quick stir-frying and steaming methods. Roast meat, poultry (especially as stock), lobster and steamed fish are the norm along with many varieties of vegetables.
