Chinese food culture is extensive and profound. For some foreigners, the only way to enjoy authentic Chinese food is to go to restaurants. In fact, some Chinese food recipes can be made at home, and at the same time, the taste is the same as that of restaurants.
What we need to understand is that complex Chinese food can only be handed over to professional chefs (Chinese chef training schools), and simple Chinese food can be done by ourselves. This post will teach you how to make a delicious Chinese meal at home.
For every chinese meal,What you need to prepare is: Chinese food seasoning, Chinese wok, ingredients
Chinese Food Seasoning
Commonly used Chinese seasonings are: edible oil(食用油), salt(盐), chicken essence(鸡精), light soy sauce(生抽), dark soy sauce(老抽), vinegar(醋), cooking wine(料酒), cornstarch(生粉)
(You can choose seasonings according to the dishes you want to cook. Not every dish has the same seasonings, so you don’t have to prepare them all.)
