1. In order to cater to local tastes,
The reason why we haven't eaten many dishes in American Chinese restaurants is to cater to the tastes of local people. After all, there are many different tastes in our country, let alone between countries. Therefore, if Chinese food wants to flourish in the United States, it must be changed to the taste of local people. If you insist on not changing your taste, you will definitely be unpopular, just like KFC has its own special products in various countries.
The owner is probably not from China.
People who open restaurants in China are not necessarily from China, because some people will open their own Chinese food if their business is good, and they know the taste of their own country better than China people. So how can we eat Chinese food cooked by Americans? Just like people who open western food or Japanese and Korean cuisine in China, they all learn and their tastes are more suitable for us.
The owner may not be a professional chef.
Most likely, the person who opens the shop is not a professional chef, because there are many Chinese working overseas. They have no other skills but can cook, so they open Chinese restaurants abroad. Because many people from China went together, Chinese food was only sold in Chinatown at first. As they develop better and better there, our country becomes stronger and stronger, and foreigners will be interested in our food.
4. Developed new dishes.
Overseas Chinese restaurants are bound to innovate according to local tastes and local stone materials, so we have never eaten these Chinese foods that require local ingredients. Although the raw materials are not ours, the method is still ours.
