What's the difference between Chinese food, western food and Japanese food?

1, Chinese food pays attention to color, fragrance and taste, while western food pays attention to food collocation. China cooking, China people's eating habits are fried to eat, in the process of fire frying, many nutrients are lost at high temperature. Western food is mainly eaten raw, and the intake of vitamin C in vegetables is greatly improved. Chinese food is heavy and delicious because of the extensive use of monosodium glutamate, but delicious is not necessarily healthy. Western cooking methods pay more attention to the raw materials themselves, what kind of cooking methods are suitable for, and make them meet people's various nutritional needs.

2. Comparison of Chinese and Western food in all aspects: ingredients: Western food only selects fine parts and varieties; Chinese food is any edible material. Edible oil: western olive oil, salad oil; Chinese food, any animal or vegetable oil. Seasoning: imported plant seasoning for western food; MSG is widely used in Chinese food. Kitchen: western food is like a factory; Chinese food is smoky and sweaty. Heating: western food is roasted, grilled and boiled; Chinese food is mainly fried. Tableware: western knives, forks, plates and spoons do not cross each other; Chinese fast food dishes * * * meals. Western food includes unhealthy fried/grilled/grilled meat and oily and salty side dishes, as well as healthy salads and whole grain staple foods. Chinese food includes unhealthy fried/braised/pickled meat dishes and healthy steamed/boiled seafood and vegetables.

3, the core contrast dining table-square table and round table Chinese dining table is round table (new fast food and snack bar is another matter for the time being), western dining table is square table. The round side shows the culture. For China people, eating in restaurants is an important communication behavior. Generally, one person pays for the hosting, and everyone talks about what's going on in the world around a round table to facilitate communication. Eating and drinking several times is an important basis to measure the depth of friendship. Round table is obviously the best way to exchange meals, which has contributed to this exchange dining culture. Western restaurants are also social occasions, but they focus on one-on-one communication. A square table is only about one meter wide, and the opposite guests can reach it. Look at each other when you speak, and be sincere and single-minded. By the way, Europeans always stare at each other's eyes when they talk, and never lose their mind. It is considered disrespectful to talk to the person next to you when you respond, or to talk to others sideways. The square table just solved this problem. Chinese food is served as soon as possible, and one dish is enjoyed; Take your time with western food, one for each person. Chinese food embodies the communication thought of China people: share joys and sorrows!

Please note that bread is an indispensable staple food for westerners, and it has another function, that is, washing dishes. Every Italian will wipe off the oil stains on the bottom of the plate with a piece of bread and make sure that the plate shines as if it had just been washed. Drinking is just to accompany the meal, and it is generally not mixed. One glass of red wine at a time is enough. After a group toast once or twice, you will stop persuading people to drink. The question of tipping, whether to pay or not, is also known to all. In the west, porters in restaurants, taxis and hotels have to pay tips. It's not hard to understand. In the west, service personnel are respected. Anyone who can do it yourself and needs help from others should make up for it by tipping. Therefore, there are basically no two occupations in western countries: inserting leather shoes and bathing workers. People in Chinese mainland basically don't tip!

Japanese cuisine:

Traditional Japanese cuisine is greatly influenced by China cuisine, but it still has Japanese characteristics. Japan is very particular about food. It is said that a considerable proportion of TV programs and books are related to food. I think, because Japan is an island country and the ingredients are more expensive, Japanese people tend to spend time cooking high-quality food. Give you an Australian lobster, and you may think carefully about how to reduce waste. You may make a complicated and exquisite main course, but if you give you two eggs, you may fry them, or you may make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Imagine, if you want 200 yuan a catty of eggs and seldom eat a few a month, will you be more careful when you make them?

Of course, the Japanese people's emphasis on food is also due to their extreme research spirit. In any case, Japanese cuisine has a common feature, that is, it pursues the extreme, so that it is somewhat mysterious. For example, Kobe beef pursues the perfection of beef at the cost of dozens or hundreds of times, or the god of sushi pursues the perfection of sushi all his life, and even cooking takes a lot of energy to pursue perfection.

This is also related to national character and social atmosphere. If no one appreciates it, they can't persist. Fortunately, Japanese society as a whole recognizes this spirit, which is also the perfect reason why countless Japanese chefs devote their lives to studying a certain aspect. That's why simple things, such as soy sauce, Lamian Noodles or barbecue, are done to the extreme, and all aspects, regardless of appearance, taste and environmental service, can be hung with Michelin stars, which is simply unimaginable in China.
