Chinese Street Food


Chinese Stre

et Food has long been known for being extravagant, mouth watering, and mind-blowing. Chinese Street Food has been brimming with rich history, authentic cuisine, and recipes that take you on an epic culinary journey all over China. Chinese Regional Cuisine, a spin off of classical Chinese regional cooking, has taken its inspiration from authentic Chinese regions like Sichuan, Hunan, and Inner Mongolia. Authentic flavours and traditional techniques exploding onto the plate in a way which first make you curious, and then galvanize you to roll up your sleeve and get cooking. The result is delicious food which is delectable on so many levels. Click on this link for more details about the top rated restaurant.


Most of the best Chinese restaurants in the world have started their businesses somewhere in China, either in the Fujian Province or in Yunnan. The first places I can think of where Chinese food has really spread out places like Nangongyu Tea House in Kunming (Xinjiang), Longquan Bakery in Xujiahui (Guangdong), and Fuyan Restaurant in Yangshuo (Shanghai). Most of the popular dishes are rice dishes, but these days street hawker food also makes appearances, and there is something for everyone. The variety of foods you will find roaming the alleys and streets of most Chinese cities is astonishing, it's like a completely different country! I've seen noodles, dumplings, stir fries, salads, soups, stir-fries, desserts, fruit, cakes, hot dogs, noodles, steamed vegetables, meat, noodles, and noodles. In fact Chinese food is such a broad and wonderful array that it is actually very hard to try and pick just one dish to represent the very best of Chinese cuisine.


Of course some of the more popular Chinese street foods have to do with stir-frying. It is probably the most versatile of Chinese cooking and it also happens to be my favorite! The base idea behind stir-frying is to cook the ingredients together at a very high temperature over a short period of time, usually less than 30 seconds. For this reason stir-frying is often considered one of the very best ways to cook vegetables and it is widely used in Chinese kitchens. There are hundreds of different recipes for stir-frying and I am certain that many of the ones I try are the ones that your mom will have made on those late night trips when you were young.


One of the things I love about Chinese street food is the use of what are known as "street herbs". Chinese people love to use chilies (we call them chilies in the USA) in a variety of recipes and I'm sure you have tried some of these. One of the most popular and traditional types of chilies is the hainan (or hot ginger) Chile. Made from the root of the ginger plant itself this chile is very hot and when mixed with soy sauce and cooked slowly until it becomes an opaque red it gives the soup a truly authentic feel. Open this site for more details about this service.


In addition to hainan chilies there are other Chinese street foods that are used frequently in Chinese cooking and they are made into a hot soup called dumplings. The dumplings are steamed or deep fried and they are very popular as street side snacks throughout China. Along with chilies they are often made with onions and scallions, so the more you learn about Chinese food the more you will enjoy the delicious deep fried dumpling.


A Chinese sandwich is something that I can never get enough of. It's a quick easy meal that goes well with a range of Chinese drinks such as white or green tea, sesame oil, and hot and sour sauce. The basic recipe for a Chinese sandwich is to mix two teaspoons of sesame oil with four or five chilies that have been roasted and cut into thin slices. Then, combine grated ginger, scallions, mocha powder, and hot sauce, all mixed together, and spread evenly over the top of the bread. Place a whole cup of the mixture on top of a warm bowl of noodles and serve with steamed white rice.
