Fried Rice : |
|
Fried rice originated as a home dish from China
around 4000 BC. Ingredients used in fried rice are
very varied. They include vegetables such as carrots,
bean sprouts, celery, peas, and others, as well
as meats such as chicken, pork, shrimp or spam,
or possibly alternatives like tofu. Often cooked
in a wok, it includes vegetable oil or animal fat
to prevent sticking, as well as for flavor. Bits
of egg provide color in many dishes. Chilli or chilli
sauces often add a piquant touch to this dish or
are offered in a small dish separate to the rice.
Many cooks season the fried rice with black pepper.

Jiaozi
The jiaozi is a Chinese dumpling which consists
of meat and minced vegetables wrapped into a piece
of dough. Popular meat fillings include shrimp,
ground lamb, ground pork, ground beef, and even
fish. Jiaozi are usually steamed or boiled. If they
are fried, they are called potstickers. Compared
to wontons, jiaozis have a thicker skin and are
longer. |
Chinese Dumpling: Baozi
|
Baozi
The baozi is another Chinese dumpling, made with
a thick leavened bun, compared to the thin noodle-like
skin of jiaozi.
Baozi with sweet fillings is the favorite dumpling
of most Shanghaines. |
Festive Food :
Symbolic food plays a crucial role in celebrations
throughout the Lunar calendar. |

Spring
Festival <Chinese New Year>
Chinese New Year represents new beginnings. Richly
flavoured cakes, called nin
go, are extremely popular during
this time because to the Chinese they represent
success. Nin in Cantonese means "year"
and go, "high", so to eat these foretells
a successful year ahead. Lotus seeds in a sweet
soup, called lin chi, is also popular. It is offered
to newly married couples because the name, lin chi
means "every year a son", urging couples
to have children. |

Duan
Wu <Dragon Boat Festival>
Entwined in the mythology of the Dragon Boat Festival
is zongzi,
a tasty glutinous rice dumpling. Some believe that
when poet Qu Yuan committed suicide in 278 BC by
jumping in a river, locals threw rice into the river
as a sacrifice to their dead hero, and to nourish
his spirit. In a dream, the poet revealed the fish
were eating the rice and requested it be bundled
and wrapped in silk to protect it. In another version,
the rice packets were meant for the fish, in an
effort to keep them from devouring Qu Yuan's body.
There are many different types of zongzi. Hong Kong's
favourite dumpling features pork soaked in soy sauce
or bean paste in the middle of the glutinous rice.
Zongzi come in many shapes, but are most commonly
triangular or pyramid shaped. |

Mid-Autumn
Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon
Festival, is held on the fifteenth day of the eighth
month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at
its maximum brightness for the entire year. These
mooncakes
can be found in any bakery before the festival in
all shapes and sizes. They may be filled with an
assortment of ingredients including dates, nuts,
lotus seed paste, bean paste and even pork or Chinese
sausages. |
