China cuisine is so profound that even foreigners are full of praise for it. However, compared with the orthodox and authentic Chinese food in our country, the United States has a special kind of gourmet Chinese food. American Chinese food is a little different from Chinese food we know, and it is more in line with American tastes.

As we all know, there is still a big gap between American eating habits and tastes and China's, so Chinese food was naturally modified after it entered the United States. In order to cater to American tastes, Chinese food has undergone great changes in materials and practices. Americans like fried foods, sauces like sweet and sour, meat likes chicken, and sauces are rich in flavor. This leads to the fact that if you go to America, you will find American Chinese food, which is very greasy and sweet. Forget greasy dishes. The point is that even the staple food has not escaped the fate of greasy. Americans seem to like all kinds of heavy seasonings. American Chinese fried noodles are really shiny, and the bottom of the box glows after eating.

And the materials used in American Chinese food are different from our common Chinese food. Many foods that China people like to eat are incomprehensible to foreigners, such as the most common pig's trotters, chicken feet and fish heads, which are absolutely leftovers in foreigners' inherent cognition. Or the blood and viscera of chickens and ducks that everyone likes to eat. If they are ready and put them on the table, foreigners may be able to fight you hard. The most intuitive effect is that the most popular dishes in American Chinese food are common and simple in the eyes of China people, such as? Fried chicken with left goo goo meat? Wait a minute. You can't say it's not delicious, but these dishes really don't highlight the inside story of Chinese food, but more just cater to the taste.

However, American Chinese food is really popular in the United States, and the shadow of Chinese food often appears in American dramas. Although there are great differences between American Chinese food and traditional Chinese food, the catering itself will also change because of the changes in local tastes. So I hope more people can learn about Chinese food through American Chinese food, so as to taste the real Chinese food.
