Mastering Chinese Cuisine: Making a Million Foreigners Drool from the Start

Sichuan, Shandong, and Guangdong; Huaiyang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Shanghai.

Frying, stir-frying, boiling, deep-frying, roasting, grilling, and braising: fire brings it to life, and when the fire goes out, it is gone.

Over five thousand years of Chinese history have given rise to a rich and time-honored culinary culture.

Now, as countries around the world stand on equal footing, the competition between their food cultures has taken center stage.

Which is tastier, fish and chips with mashed potatoes or pan-fried fish with a crispy flatbread?

Which is better, a turkey burger or a Shaanxi-style roujiamo?

Which is more tempting, foie gras with black truffle or roast duck with sweet bean sauce?

…

As countries around the world argue endlessly, the King of Chefs competition is born!

Chen Nian represents China, competing against top chefs from around the world.

From the start, one serving of beef in sour soup leaves a million foreigners drooling!
