What's up y'all? Today we're diving into one of my favorite topics - Chinese cuisine! Now, I know what some of y'all might be thinking - "Wait, Chinese food isn't really a part of black culture, is it?" And I'm here to tell you that while it might not be as prevalent as some other cuisines, Chinese food has definitely made its mark on black culture.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at these two dope articles I came across about the eight great traditions of Chinese cuisine and Chinese food by region.
The Eight Great Traditions of Chinese Cuisine
First up, we have this article from Lee Kum Kee Home that breaks down the eight great traditions of Chinese cuisine. Now, I don't know about y'all, but I had no idea that Chinese cuisine was so diverse and varied! From the bold flavors of Szechuan cuisine to the light, delicate flavors of Cantonese cuisine, there's something for everyone.
One thing that stuck out to me in particular was the emphasis on balance in Chinese cuisine. It's not just about throwing a bunch of bold flavors together - it's about creating a harmonious balance of flavors, textures, and colors. I don't know about y'all, but that sounds like good eatin' to me!
Chinese Food for Dummies, Region by Region
Next up, we have this article I found on Pinterest that breaks down Chinese food by region. Now, I don't know about y'all, but I'm a sucker for a good regional breakdown of a cuisine. It really gives you a sense of the diversity and complexity of a cuisine.
One thing that's really interesting about Chinese cuisine by region is how many different cooking styles there are. From the spicy, bold flavors of Sichuan cuisine to the sweet and sour flavors of Shanghainese cuisine, there's really something for everyone.
One thing that really stood out to me in particular was the emphasis on noodles in Chinese cuisine. I don't know about y'all, but I'm a big fan of noodles! Whether you're talking about the chewy, hand-pulled noodles of Lanzhou or the delicate, silky noodles of Shanghai, there's really nothing like a good bowl of noodles.
So there you have it y'all - a quick look at the delicious and diverse world of Chinese cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned vet or a newcomer to Chinese cuisine, there's always something new and exciting to discover.
Until next time, stay eatin'.
