Duan Yu, known as the "master of innovative Chinese food design", once said: "Innovative dishes can only be innovated on the basis of inheriting traditional cooking skills. Innovative dishes must have their own new characteristics, be recognized by consumers within a certain period of time, have their own vitality and bring market value, which is considered a successful innovative dish. "

Innovative dishes should have the following characteristics:

1, application of new seasoning materials and means.

2. Application of new cooking materials

3. Simplify the manufacturing process

4. Learn from the North and the South, and blend in with China and foreign countries.

5. Combination of nutrition and dietotherapy

6, the application of new cookers and containers

Innovative dishes are generally the improvement and innovation of traditional dishes, and there are also completely new dishes and imitation new dishes, and no matter which type of innovation comes from tradition, it is higher than tradition.
