Chinese

Spicy, sweet, boldly aromatic and intriguing, Chinese recipes have claimed a rightful place on the American dinner table since the first Chinese restaurant opened in 1849. Many popular Chinese recipes were developed using innovative cooking techniques that maximize flavor in the shortest cooking time possible; they had to make the most of the limited availability of cooking oil and fuel for fires. Chinese recipes embrace balance, often contrasting sweet with spicy or creating a balance between savory, spicy, sweet, and sour.
