With its brilliant color, perfect blend of sweet and sour flavors, and a texture that is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, this dish is irresistible to practically anyone. If you don’t care for pork, try sweet and sour chicken or fish instead.
No.2 Kung Pao Chicken (宫保鸡丁; gōngbǎojīdīng)Sometimes thought of as the national dish of China, kung pao chicken tastes like a slightly spicy, peanutty version of sweet and sour chicken. Although this dish is well-known both in and outside of China, few people know its history. One popular, but unconfirmed story about this dish says that during the Qing Dynasty, a man whose official title was “宫保” was appointed to be the Sichuan Provincial Governor. One day he was bombarded with so much work that he missed lunch. With nothing to eat at home, he went to a small restaurant nearby, only to find that they had run out of everything except peanuts and chicken. Seeing that the governor had come into his restaurant, the chef quickly stir-fried the peanuts and chicken together. The dish turned out to be quite delicious and soon became extremely popular. It came to be known as “宫保鸡丁” (literally, “Gong Bao diced chicken”) in honor of the official the dish was first made for.
No.3 Ma Po Tofu (麻婆豆腐,mápódòufu)Ma Po Tofu is a famous dish from Sichuan Province. This spicy dish was named after the woman whose husband managed the restaurant that first made this dish in Chengdu. If you have the opportunity to travel to Chengdu, remember to stop by “陈麻婆豆腐店” or “Chen Ma Po’s Tofu Restaurant.”
No.4 Wonton Soup(馄饨; húntún)If you think Chinese foods are too oily, here’s a dish that won’t upset your diet. Dating back over 2,000 years, wonton soup is a popular dish in China. In Guangdong Province, one of the places where this dish is most popular, it is known by the name “云吞 (yǘntǖn).” In Chinese “云” means “cloud,” which perfectly depicts the shape of the food, and “吞” means “to swallow.”
No.5 Spring Rolls (春卷; chūnjuǎn)Spring rolls are a traditional Chinese festival food usually eaten during the spring to signify hope. They can be salty or sweet, with vegetables, meat, or fruit filling wrapped in a thin layer of crispy, fried dough.
