Food is closely related to people's lives and it is considered the most important element in Chinese culture. Chinese food is famous all over the world too. American Chinese cuisine differs significantly from the traditional Chinese cuisine and even though the variation in taste can be so it is still attractive to many people. When it comes to food, Chinese people always care about the color, taste, smell and shape of Chinese dishes. In 1784, a group of passengers on the ship Empress of China became the first Americans to land in China and they were also the first group of people to eat Chinese food; it was the

Their dishes taste so good because all diverse of flavor that the dishes have but the problem is that it isn’t health to eat.

Everything was done in a fixed order according to the “eating rites.” http://www.china.org.cn/english/imperial/25995.htm. In The Book of Songs they say that over a 130 plants were given as well as over 100 animals some include ox, sheep dog and elephant. The drinks that were given known of the six clear were five qis and three jius and sweet or sour wine https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/food/2011-03/10/c.... The five qis were made of a rise base like sorghum and millet and the fan qi it more of a think liquid. And then you had the jius which was an occasion wine.

Culture is not only reflected in the performing arts or languages, but it is also more able to reflect on the food that people under different food cultural backgrounds, their eating habits and tastes are different. Every place in this world had one or more typical foods to show its culture. Wuhan, where I grew up, is famous not only of its historical sites, like Yellow Crane Tower and Guiyuan Tempe but also famous of its characteristic snacks, such as Hot Dry Noodle, Doupi and duck necks. In these special foods, Hot Dry Noodle is the most important one because it is not only good at taste, but it also can show the culture of Wuhan that this city contains enthusiasm, wisdom, gentleness, and perseverance. In order to prove thesis, I am going to discuss the history of Hot Dry Noodles, Hot Dry Noodles in Wuhan people’ lives, and the culture aspect of Hot Dry Noodles.

For my artifact project, I’ll be focusing on Shanghainese xiao long bao, often known as “soup dumplings” in English-speaking countries. Although there are actually several kinds of soup dumplings in Eastern China, xiao long bao is the variation that managed to have a global reach. My first personal experience with xiao long bao was in my sophomore year of high school, when my friend and her mother took me to a Shanghainese restaurant in Chinatown. I was (and still am) somewhat of a novice to any Chinese food and definitely had no knowledge of what food came out of Shanghai. However, I always had a deep love of dumplings. Honestly, any food that involves meat wrapped in dough has always appealed to me. When the soup dumplings arrived at our

          Dumplings in China are a tasty treat for thousands of years, either boiled or pan-fried. Eating dumplings is a unique way to express people's desire to pray when the New Year meets the old year, means a good day, it shaped like ingots, also means to contain Fortune. Research shows that dumplings are “Five must-haves for lunar New Year reunion dinner”(New China).

Chinese food isn’t different items separated by spaces among a plate, it is a blend of different meats and vegetables sitting among a grain such as rice. There is a sauce that brings the dish’s unique and separate elements into one blend of tasty flavors that combine into a unique and signature dish.

-happily now, I can say proudly that I am able to make my favorite Dominican foods, plus, I can cook delicious Chinese foods. These are my second favorite because it is easy to cook and it is tasty.

When watching the movie, “Eat Drink Man Woman”, I was able to learn a lot about the Chinese culture and the food that they eat. Even though all the food that was prepared in the film was high end cuisine, I was still able to get a glimpse of what it had to offer. When a lot of Americans think of Chinese food, they tend to think strictly about American Chinese food, and that is not the case. Many meals were prepared in the film that ranged from elegant soups, chicken, duck, and fish, to fancy dumplings, and desserts. The film was able to show me a lot of what the food they eat looks like, even if it was five star meals, and had a great storyline to back it up.

We all know that China has a vast territory and fifty-six ethnic groups. Therefore, different places and groups have different eating habits and they all have their own special local dishes. The ways to name those dishes show the wisdom and culture of people from all ethnic groups and make Chinese dish names have distinctive national and regional features. There are different ways to name a dish and when you begin to name it, you need to consider raw materials, seasonings, cooking methods, regional features, etc. In order to know well about the dish name translation in A Bite of China, an inquiry is made into the main characteristics of those dishes appeared in this food documentary. So let’s see some

Taste of Shanghai is a contemporary Chinese restaurant serving dumplings, dim sum, noodles, and stir-fry.

Fried rice is a dish in China that can be fried with sauces ( brown rice) or plain (white). Jiaozi is a classic Chinese dish that is commonly called dumplings and can be steamed, fried, or baked. Shallow fried Jiaozi is a different type of dumplings that is fried in a pan with oil. Some commonly used spices is sage and Turmeric root, and a common vegetable is Bok Choy.

Fish also play a large role in the celebrations. The word for fish, “Yu” sounds like the words both for and abundance. The fish is usually served whole, with head and tail, which mean having a good beginning and ending for the coming year. These round dumplings which is called JiaoZi signify family reunion. Its shape look like a bag the has many gold coins inside. This dish is called Lion’s Head Meatball. They are cooked with oversized meatballs and some vegetable soup. The lion represents power and strength in Chinese culture, while the oversized meatballs symbolize family reunion. Duck symbolizes fidelity in chinese culture. Also, sweet and sour pork is popular with families hoping for a lot of grandchildren because the Cantonese word for “sour” sounds like the word for grandchild. Cakes have a special place in Chinese New year celebrations. Chinese people called them NianGow. NianGow is made up of rice flour, wheat starch, water and sugar. Their sweetness symbolizes a rich and sweet life. The family will then end the night with firecrackers.

Me and my friends order two dishes, one is called Fish Fillet with Sauerkraut and the other one is called Shredded Lettuce. They came to my table very fast. When I first saw the food, I shocked. It looks almost the same as Chinese food. After I tried the food. It tastes so good. Although there were some small difference between the food in China. But I still would say it’s the real Chinese food. Also, the amount of the food it nice. After we done with the food, there are still more than half left. We packed it and we think it could eat it for two more meals. One more thing which I want to talk about it the price. It’s cheap if you go with your friends. Probably you only need to pay like 10 dollars after you split with your friends. I think it is good for friends to get together during the weekend and enjoy the nice food. Although it’s a little bit far from my apartment, I still will come here again with my friends if I have free time.
