Essay about Chinese food

Chinese food has a long history, which also includes the Chinese nation’s love for food.

Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and Anhui cuisines are China's "eight major cuisines". Sichuan cuisine is spicy, while Cantonese cuisine is light and beautiful.

All are my favorite.

A documentary called "A Bite of China" sparked my interest in Chinese food.

As long as I have time every day, I will turn on the TV and watch "A Bite of China". He is like my teacher, and I learn from him eagerly every day.

It wasn’t until later that I realized that to truly understand food, only by experiencing it yourself can you understand the true meaning of food.

As the saying goes: "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." Reading and traveling introduced me to delicious food.

Recently, I found a popular science book in school, under "One Hundred Thousand Whys", which tells the origins of various famous dishes, snacks, drinks, seasonings, etc.

My favorite story is: the origin of Nantong sweet fried noodles.

The story is that an official came to Nantong to review the local situation, but he encountered robbers halfway and robbed him of everything.

He came to a landlord's house and asked to stay for one night, but the landlord didn't like him, so he said to his men: "Copy the remaining noodles and pig feed and send them to this beggar." But the chef couldn't bear it, so he

I added peanuts and sugar to it and gave it to the official, but it tasted very good. The official asked how the dish was made, and the chef told him exactly.

The official went home and asked the chef to make this dish. It tasted great.

Then they passed the recipe around, and that’s how Nantong Sweet Chow Mein came about.

The story, like the taste of the dish, contains the kindness of that chef.

I long for an opportunity to go to Xi'an, a city with a long history.

In order for me to understand the grandeur of history, my parents took me to Xi'an (because the military mercenaries were there.) This historical city also has a variety of delicious food (this is what I value most).

There are not many famous dishes in Xi'an, but the various snacks can be said to be unique.

Speaking of snacks, people come and go at Damaishi Street Hui Snack Street in Xi'an, and most of them come to taste Xi'an's food culture.

No matter it is day or night, as long as you walk on this street, you can eat wherever you go.

A chef who can use high-end ingredients to make good dishes is not a master, but a chef who uses ordinary ingredients to make good dishes is a master. Roujiamo is an example. An ordinary pancake paired with some braised mutton will make it a master.

It has become an ordinary and popular roujiamo. Although the ingredients of the roujiamo are ordinary, it is of high quality and low price, and the braised flavor is mellow and fat but not greasy, so it is deeply loved by people.

A place of water and soil can nourish a person.

No matter what kind of food there is, there is always a story behind it. To appreciate its beauty, just taste it.

Last year I went to Gulin County in Luzhou, where the famous Langjiu is produced. Because of its reputation, I ventured to taste a small glass.

It smells very fragrant and tastes a bit spicy. After swallowing, the aroma returns to the mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Xi Li also heard a story about Langjiu: Once upon a time, there was a young man who loved a girl very much, but his mother-in-law asked for a gift of one hundred jars of wine, so the young man worked hard to brew a hundred jars of wine, married the girl, and later made wine.

Make a living.

He was a kind man, and the wine he brewed was very popular among people. As time passed, people called the young man who brewed wine "Langjiu".

I have benefited a lot from reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, getting to know food, and tasting food. Food does not matter whether it is high or low, and the ingredients can be ordinary. As long as the person who makes it is careful, he can make a delicious food. It is not only

It is the satisfaction of taste, it may be a story, an emotion, and a culture.
