China is as vast as it is is old and these two characteristics make a description of its cuisine extremely difficult. The country has many regional styles of cuisine and dishes fall into one of the following eight culinary traditions:
- Hui: Anhui
- Yue (Cantonese): Guangdong
- Min: Fujian
- Xiang: Hunan (Can include Xiangjiang Region, Dongting Lake and Xiangxi styles)
- Su (aka Huaiyang Cuisine): Jiangsu
- Lu: Shandong (Include Jinan, Jiaodong styles, etc.)
- Chuan: Sichuan
- Zhe: Zhejiang (Can include Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Shaoxing styles)
Josée's simple Chinese menu for this evening:
Braised Prawns with Vegetables
Beef with Cashews
Sorry for the short article but two big evenings coming up with Morocco & Tunisia tomorrow night and the grand finale, Spain, on Sunday.
Cheers,
