Missed our Eat China special that aired on the Asian Food Network? Enjoy the full episodes right here.
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.
Sichuan is the land of spice, and enjoying food from the western region of China means strong flavors of heat, numbing peppercorns, and savory century eggs. Plus, a pickle expert shows us why pickles are a permanent part of western Chinese diets.

Although Sichuan food is spicy, the spiciest food in fact comes from Hunan province! Hunan food uses more fresh chilli peppers than Sichuan food, which adds to the hotness!

Food connects us but so does IKEA apparently. When she takes out the peppercorns around 15.00 they were stored in the same plastic tub I have, halfway across the globe.

See this is the REAL Chinese food. Not the kind we eat in America. Chefs in China are held in high regards, in ancient times cooks were part of the imperial courts. A rich culinary education can be obtained from working or going2 school there.

Sichuan Province usually included both Cheng du and Chong Qing, which spelled chung king in the West... At some point, the goverment splitted Chung King to be an independent city equal with provinces. Cheng du is now the capital and largest city of Sichuan.

Food doesn't belong to any singular culture hence the popularity of fusion or adaptions like Japanese Ramen based off of Chinese La Mian. China has had historically had a large ethnic Korean diaspora and like many foods probably some of it was adapted into Chinese food much like Koreans with Western Hotdogs or Spam or Americanized Chinese Food. in the USA.

So What's a good pickle jar to look for?

@xingyu1386 3 жыл бұрын

The pickle jar should have that edge which seals the lid with filled water but let oxygen out - once the oxygen get too high, the air pressure inside the jar will push open the lid itself, and the lid will be sealed again once the air is released. I've tried varies of alternatives, it seems that's the only type works.

The content is great and love the in depth food culture! I'd only give feedback on the editing, there doesn't seem to be a shot that's held for more than five seconds and there's a lot of movement in every shot. Not saying fast paced editing isn't good, but I think it needs to slow down at certain parts, after I got about 10 min in it started to get a bit disorienting.

I am probably belong to the very few Chinese who dislike spicy food. When I go out with my friends I avoid Sichuan restaurant as much as I can. IMO the overly done spicy and numbing over powers the natural flavors of food ingredients. I am pretty much sure most of you would disagree. It’s alight I am going to stick with my Cantonese and Shanghainese while you enjoy your hot pot.

Lots of people in Sichuan still speak the Sichuan dialect （四川话), it is just more closely related to Mandarin than Cantonese. Saying that, Sichuanese still sounds vastly different from Mandarin in the north of China.

We normally only speak sichuan dialect. But we try not to do so when we speak with non-natives. Sichuan dialect broadly belongs the mandarin family so almost everyone can speak mandarin. Ppl usually speak sichuan dialect with outsiders because they are too self-conscious about their mandarin accent or everyone involved can understand sichuan dialect.
