1.Food in China
Food is a major part of any culture. We all use it as a form of socializing, or as a hobby, or a way to relax. However, every country has its own cuisine and its own take on different dishes. Depending on where you go in China, each province has its own school of cooking. Sichuan province is renowned for its fiery dishes, and Beijing for the Peking Duck. Fuzhou’s food isn’t as famous as those two examples, but it does belong to a different school of cooking, where the focus is placed mainly on seafood. This is due to the proximity to the sea, and therefore the large availability of fish. It is also noted that provinces in the South of China don’t use as much red meat as northern provinces. This is a clear indicator of how the weather and geographical position of provinces influents the diet of many people.
The main dish for Fuzhou is fish balls. It is as delicious as it sounds, or so I am told, as I am one of those rare creatures found in China – a vegetarian.
Different Diets
Whilst you may be forgiven for thinking that due to China’s rich history, and larg e population of Buddhists, that vegetarian options would be available pretty much everywhere. You would be wrong. The word vegetarian does not appear to have the same meaning here in China than it would say in England or America. Here in China, it means you can eat small amounts of meat. Or Fish. Or seafood. Furthermore, they do not feel the need to tell you that the vegetarian option you have asked for, and specifically requested not to come with meat, will in fact have meat in it. How do I know? Because t he consumption of meat makes me ill, and it isn’t always hidden within the food. That shouldn’t deter anyone. Myself, and several other vegetarians are surviving, with a wide and varied diet. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, tofu, rice, even some western foods are available over here. There are some trusted restaurants that you will find, and it is always a way to expand your own culinary skills.
For those that will eat everything, then this is the place for you. They have everything here, from chickens fee t to cow’s tongue. There’s plenty of rice and noodles, and ordering food becomes second nature. It is definitely a place to expand your food choices.
Restaurants
The restaurants and eating out in China is also an experience. It is an adventure, and often leads to
techniques which are related to stewing with soup, sweet and sour sauce, chilli oil, prickly ash peel spices, ginger sauce, sugar and vinegar, lychee, and mashed garlic and many other combinations. Besides these unique features, Sichuan Cuisine also boasts the fame that each dish has its own taste and the entire dish family comprises of hundreds of flavours. The major cooking methods are frying, sautéing, quick-frying, boiling, stewing, deep-frying and simmering. In particular, moderate stir-frying and boiling, and braising and stewing with soup are extremely unique.
There are a considerable number of refined dishes, ranging from household dishes, traditional folk snacks and popular fast foods, to the senior feast consisting of three steamed dishes and nine braised dishes (San Zheng Jiu Kou, 三蒸九扣; a feast popular in the rural areas of Sichuan) with various creative patterns. (Gongbao Jiding, 宫爆鸡丁), Braised Fish (Ganshao Yu, 干烧鱼), Sautéed Sliced Pork with Pepper and Chilli (Huiguo Rou, 回锅肉), Braised Spicy Tofu (Mapo Doufu, 麻婆豆腐), Beef Lung in Chilli Sauce (Fuqi Feipian, 夫妻肺片), Tea Smoked Duck, Sichuan Style (Zhangcha Yazi, 樟茶鸭子), Sautéed Shredded Beef in Chilli Sauce (Ganbian Niurou Si, 干煸牛肉丝), Diced Chicken with Specially Hot Sauce (Guai Wei Ji Kuai, 怪味鸡块), Deep Fried Beef Slices (Dengying Niurou, 灯影牛肉), Fried Shredded Pork with Sweet and Sour Sauce (Yuxiang Rousi, 鱼香肉丝) and Poached Sliced Beef in Hot Chilli Oil (Shuizhu Niurou, 水煮牛肉).
