The difference between Chinese food and western food

1, the difference of material selection

Because most people in our country are less bound by religious taboos in their diet, and people like to be curious and pay attention to the scarcity of things in their diet, so the choice of Chinese food is very wide, almost flying, diving, moving and growing, and eating everything. However, since the Middle Ages, the West has been bound by religion in spirit and culture. In addition, due to the establishment of modern nutrition, compared with Chinese food, western food has great limitations in material selection. Commonly used raw materials are cattle, sheep, pork, poultry, preserved eggs and so on. And the internal organs have no choice.

2, the difference between raw material processing

Chef China is very particular about knife work, and can process raw materials into tiny edges such as silk, diced, chips and silk. There are many kinds of kitchen knives in western food, and what kind of knives to use is also very particular, but the raw materials are rarely processed into tiny blades, mostly in the shape of large rows, rolls and blocks, paying attention to modeling.

3, the difference between cooking

Round-bottomed pots and open stoves commonly used in Chinese cooking are very suitable for cooking, so there are many cooking methods in Chinese cooking. Western food is cooked in pots, dark stoves, ovens, grills, noodle stoves and other equipment, so the cooking methods are mainly frying, roasting, stewing, stewing and iron roasting.

Comparison between Chinese food and western food

Chinese food and western food are the most important ways of eating in our life, and they are very different because of the differences of food culture in different countries.

Western food means that everyone orders their own food, while Chinese food means that the host orders everything and everyone eats it. Both have their own advantages. Ordering by yourself pays more attention to personal choice and is responsible for your own quality, but the variety must be single and it is not so lively to eat, but we can see the independence of individuals in western culture. In China culture, people pay more attention to the whole. People who order food to satisfy different tastes may be praised or criticized. Therefore, China has a saying that it is difficult for people to reach an agreement. He knows it is difficult, but he still has to do it because he thinks the overall consistency is more important. Chinese food pays attention to sharing, and may not be affected by inequality. This sharing is so deep that people in China share it when they eat western food. Even everyone orders their own food. When eating, you try mine and I try yours, which makes the table very lively and happy.

Chinese food and western food are eaten differently on the dining table and in the kitchen. I have seen the Chinese and western kitchens of China Resources Hotel in Bangkok, and I feel that the cultural contrast is also obvious. The kitchen of western food is more like a factory, with many standard equipment and many controls on measurement, temperature and time. The layout of the kitchen is also designed according to the technology, and there are strict requirements for the style and color of the products. In fact, foreigners' brains are relatively simple, but many things are standardized and programmed, which improves the efficiency and consistency of doing things. Both McDonald's and Starbucks are the result of product standardization.
