History, tradition and origin

Stir-frying in a wok became common in China as a fuel-saving method: food cut small cooks in seconds over a fierce flame. Sichuan cooking is known for chili and numbing pepper, Cantonese for freshness, and sweet and sour sauces come from the east and south. Many of these dishes are served family-style, with everyone sharing from the centre of the table.

Food economy and industry

Chinese restaurants are found in almost every town on earth, and many were started by emigrant families as a first business. Soy sauce brewing, chili bean paste and tofu making are large traditional industries. China is the world's biggest producer of vegetables and of many of the spices its kitchens depend on.
