Noted four great culinary traditions (Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Sichuan), and it distinguishes the cuisine of Northern wheat-based, of the South, where rice predominates.

In Beijing and throughout the region of the Yellow River, the dominant presence of the wheat is in the form of pancakes (bing), stuffed pancakes, donuts, rolls (Baozi), dumplings (jiaozi or hundun), blocked (xiaolongbao), noodles and pasta. We like to accompany with local vinegar reminiscent of balsamic vinegar or soy sauce.

Sichuan, climate, heavy summer, induces strong flavors and spices (pepper, chile, ginger). The pepper is sometimes simply mixed with the grain, like the lawanmian, rice noodles flavored with a paste of fermented beans. Also taste the local embellished with melted soy cheese (doufu), pickled vegetables (pickles English type), the sesame paste and smoked duck with tea leaves and camphor wood.

In Shanghai and the region of Lower Yangzi, a place near the sea with seafood: crabs, shrimp, shellfish, smoked carp, mandarin fish, eels … The premises also appreciate many vegetables, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, lotus root, sliced, cultivated mushrooms (scented) or wild (black), cabbage (cai), squash (Gua) or regional specialties such as ham and Zhouzhuang Guojie.

To the south, no food taboos: coypu, foxes, snakes, hedgehogs, deer, frogs, sparrows … In this audacious South, we like sweet flavors but the dim sum, steamed delicate morsels in the image of these little pancakes fried close Vietnamese nems.
