Real and Healthy Chinese Cooking
Eat a Healthy and Balanced Diet
Some people don't really understand how important eating healthy
food is to us. Let's look at some statement:
1. Over a billion
people worldwide are now overweight and 300 million are clinically
obese. People who are overweight have a higher risk of developing serious
health problems in later life, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke,
type 2 diabetes, bowel cancer, and high blood pressure. Most people put on
excess weight because their lifestyles include an unhealthy diet
and a lack of physical activity.
2. According to Cancer Epidemiology,
Biomarkers and Prevention, post-menopausal women may reduce their risk of
developing cancer by 35% if they eat a healthy diet and lead a
healthy lifestyle. This result was based on 29,564 post-menopausal women, aged
55-69 for a research period of 13 years.
3. People who ate three or more
servings of fruit per day have 36% lower risk of developing the sight
loss than people who ate less than one and a half servings per day. (According
to Archives of Ophthalmology)
4. Eat low fat food regularly can
reduce the chance of developing heart disease and certain cancers.
5.
Calorie reduction can increase life expectancy by up to 30
percent
6.Vitamins can cut cancer death rates by 37%
7.
Foods that contain the mineral selenium and plant-based chemical sulforaphane in
combination may have a 13 times greater ability to protect against cancer
than when the food compounds are used separately.
This list can go on
and on. But I think you've got the point:
Eat healthy and balanced food daily can protect us from
developing major health problems like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke
and high blood pressure.

Ancient Chinese philosophy has a very important influence in Chinese
food culture. To begin to understand it, consider the familiar yin/yang
symbol.
You have seen the traditional symbol for the forces of yin
and yang, sometimes described as two fish swimming head to tail. The
left half is yin and the right half is yang. Taken literally, yin and yang mean
the dark side and sunny side of a hill.
People commonly think of
yin and yang as opposing forces. However, it is really more appropriate to view
them as complementary pairs. The Chinese believe problems arise not when
the two forces are battling, but when there is an imbalance between them.
Floods, divorce, or even a fire in the kitchen - all can be attributed to
disharmony in the forces of yin and yang.
How does the concept of
yin and yang relate to food?
A basic adherence to this philosophy
can be found in ANY Chinese dish, from stir-fried beef with broccoli to
sweet and sour pork. There is always a balance in color, flavors, and textures.
However, belief in the importance of
following the principles of yin and yang in the diet extends further.
Certain foods have yin properties, while others have yang properties
- Cooling or warm, fat or non-fat, high-calorie or low- calorie, and etc.
Almost no foodstuff is purely yin or yang - it's more that one
characteristic tends to dominate. It also reinforces that it is not so much the
individual ingredients, as the the balance and contrast between
ingredients in each dish, that is important. Interestingly, cooking methods also
have more of a yin or yang property, as the list below demonstrates.
Cooking
Methods:
Yin Qualities: Boiling, Poaching and
Steaming
Yang Qualities: Deep-frying, Roasting and
Stir-frying
Types of Foods:
Yin Foods: Bean
sprouts, cabbage, carrots, crab, cucumber, duck tofu, watercress and
water
Yang Foods: Bamboo,
beef, chicken, eggs, ginger, glutinous rice, mushrooms, sesame oil and
wine
Chinese food emphasizes on consuming a diet that contains a
healthy balance between yin and yang. You'll find most Chinese dishes are
made of a mixture of ingredients and each meal is made up of a
combination of dishes.
That's why:
-
You always get a cup of steamed rice for
every entree
-
There is usually vegetable mixed with meat
entree
-
A fried dish usually comes with a steamed
dish or soup

Chinese cuisine aims for perfection and balance among four
elements in each dish: color, aroma or fragrance, flavor,
and presentation. Colors should be pleasing, showing that the ingredients
are fresh and tender. Aromas should be appetizing. Finally, the dish should be
beautifully arranged and presented. Good Chinese cooking is also distinguished
by its meticulous cutting, careful blending of seasonings, and
attention to temperature control.
With this in mind, I feel it's
better if I can add pictures into the cookbook. I know it's a little bit scary

One
Cookbook with All 4 Major Chinese Cooking Styles
Learn how to cook the most popular dishes from four major regions in
China.
-
Beijing. Beijing cuisine is also called "mandarin cuisine".
Many of the foods in this region are wheat-based (as a opposed to rice-based).
Beijing cuisine consists of a variety of dumplings, baked and steamed breads,
various buns and noodles.
Mandarin-style meals usually include
vegetable dishes, soups, tofu (soybean curd), and fish. The food is mild in
taste, is often slightly oily, and vinegar and garlic are common ingredients;
food is frequently fried, stewed, or braised.
-
Cantonese. From Canton or "Guangdong" Province in the
southeastern part of China (the same area as Hong Kong), Cantonese food is the
mildest and most common kind of Chinese food in the United States and many
other countries.
Cantonese food tends to be more colorful, less spicy
and is usually stir fried, which preserves both the texture and flavor.
-
Szechwan and Hunan. Food from the Szechwan (or "Four
Rivers") basin is characteristic south-western Chinese food. Food throughout
the western regions of China are liberal in their use of garlic, scallions,
and chilly. Consequently, it's the spiciest region of Chinese food available
and certainly very tasty. When prepared in a traditional manner, many of the
dishes are very hot, although banquet dishes tend to be milder.
Sichuan food is distinguished by its hot peppery taste, while food
from neighboring Hunan province is richer and a bit more oily, and may be
either spicy and hot or sweet and sour. Chicken, pork, river fish, and
shellfish are all popular items.
Choose your favorite dishes based on different styles. But
never limit yourself from one style. You can always find wonderful dishes
from every cooking style.
The best way to stay healthy
is to eat healthy and balanced food in a daily basis.
