I came across this article last night while looking for something interesting to post here. This hit me.
This article looks at the eight official forms of Chinese Cuisine. Each one brings something unique.
1. Lu Cai – think about the Northeast corner of China. Beijing. Home of Confucius and Tsingtao Beer. Being on a coast there’s a lot of seafood.
2. Chuan Cai – Sichuan Province. Mercy! Spicy and in your face is how this province rolls.
3. Yue Cai – Guangdang Province. Think Cantonese. Okay spicy and numbing.
4. Su Cai – Jiangsu Cai. Cuisine here tends to be balanced. Not too spicy and not too sweet. Balanced.
5. Min Cai – Southeast Coastal Province. Fish. Lots and lots of fish.
6. Zhe Cai – Ankui Cai here you see a lot of fish and veggies.
7. Xiang Cai – Hunan Province is spicy and hot. Bring the sour cream or mayo if you are sensitive to heat.
8. Hui Cai – a lot of steamed fish. Most foods are steamed.
There you go. Eight top cuisines from China.
