There’s not just one type of Chinese food. This is Eat China, where we dissect Chinese cuisine region by region to understand the sheer variety of flavors and techniques that have evolved over the centuries. Join our host Clarissa as she uncovers China’s signature dishes, from east to west, north to south.
Shanghai is the home of pan-fried buns and the best soup dumplings. We uncover a 200-year-old recipe for sweet and sour fish, and find out how the people here cook a local version of shrimp ceviche.
