*Chinese cuisine 中國菜

Hu cuisine, also known as Shanghai cuisine, is one of the main local cuisines in China. Benbang cuisine is another name for Shanghai cuisine, an important school of traditional food culture in the Jiangnan region. The so-called local gang refers to the local area. Its characteristics are rich sauce, moderate saltiness, original flavor, and mellow and delicious taste. Commonly used cooking methods include braising, simmering and sugaring. Later, in order to adapt to the Shanghainese preference for light and refreshing taste, the dishes gradually changed from heavy oil and red sauce to light and refreshing. Shanghai cuisine is good at using sugar in its cooking method, giving it a unique Jiangnan flavor.
