do you konw the differences between chinese food and Ehglish food?求一篇短文

答案

China is a big country (as big as USA) and has the biggest population,therefore,Chinese from different regions have different cooking ways,styles & tastes.For example,Sichuan cuisine is very spicy while Cantonese cuisine isn't spicy at all.People in the north eat wheat noodles or steamed buns while people from the south eat rice or rice noodles.
Chinese food is different from Western food by the way we prepare food before cooking,Chinese cut the ingredients in bite size then stir fry or steam the ingredients in short time while westerners cook the ingredients in big pieces and cut the food on their plates with knives and forks.
There are some ingredients or seasonings in Chinese cuisine that Western cuicine seldom use,like jelly fish,sea cucumbers,shark's fins,fish maws,bird's nest,thousand years eggs,bean curds (tofu),oyster sauce,black bean sauce,salty shrimp paste,soy sauce,...etc.On the other hand,Western cooking adds herbs like rosemary,dill,sage,oregano,thyme,tarragon..etc,in their food while seldom you would find these herbs in Chinese food.Chinese add ginger,spring onions,mints,corianders,white pepper ...,you hardly can find any traditional Chinese food contains cheese,butter,cream or milk.
