Hi Clarissa and team! I've just finished watching this series and this has been a very well thought out and high quality content. Kudos to everyone who worked in this! Been searching for videos explaining the 8 Great Cuisines of China recently and I was so lucky I found yours! Your approach was refreshing to me and the food tours and how-to's were a delightful bonus! Also, since this is a season 1, is there any chance you would explore more cuisines in the future? A part of me is hoping you'll complete with the other 4 (Anhui, Fujian, Hunan and Zhejiang) but one can only hope, I guess 😅. Looking forward for more of your quality content and I hope every one is well and safe during these times. 🙂
I am from northern, the first time I heard dim sum in Chinatown, I don’t know what it is. A American people looked at me strangely, after that I know what it is.
Thank You for sharing! This is very knowledgeable as I’ve always wonder the differences of the food where it came in comparison of the North, South, West and East. Much Love 🙏
I totally dig this video, and think that the infographics are adorable (even though they kind of make it look like “soup dumplings” are dumplings in soup, and a different thing than xiaolongbao).
and xiaolongbao in most place in china is not that thin layered bao with soupy fillings, its small bao in small basket (longzi) hence the name xiaolongbao. what people outside called xiaolongbao is called guantangbao here which mean soup trapped in bao
xiaolongbao is kind of it's own thing... why you're seeing dumplings in soup is because it is LITERALLY dumplings IN soup. Dumplings come in many variations and can be cooked in many ways (pan fried, steamed, boiled in soup). As a person who grew up with Cantonese cuisine (and Chinese parents that do not eat anything other than Chinese food), I didn't have a xiaolongbao until well into college, but grew up with regular dumplings (jiaozi) steamed, pan fried, or tossed into soup.
@@caratan474 Sorry. I probably wasn’t clear. I too grew up eating dumplings in soup, in styles from my own ethnic cuisine (Ashkenazic Jewish) as well as from Cantonese American cuisine - the stereotype that we New York Jews eat a lot of Chinese food for a not entirely unfounded. My point - which was infinitely nerdier - was that the narration reads, “soup dumplings, or xiaolongbao, and Yangzhou fried rice.” Given that it’s all written in standard American English, it wouldn’t make sense for the writer to call what we call “dumpling soup”, “soup dumplings”. Also, they wouldn’t have included the “or” unless they were trying to tell us that “soup dumplings” and “xiaolongbao” were two ways of referring to the same food. So, the graphics illustrate “dumpling soup, xiaolongbao, and Yangzhou fried rice”, rather than “soup dumplings, or xiaolongbao, and Yangzhou fried rice”. Again, it’s a totally nerdy point, but I’m guessing that the copywriter appreciated it.
I wish you put the links to the following videos. Unfortunately I have now given up trying to find them in your video history. I was looking forward to watching them and watching the breakdown of each area..
This is great! When I was in the US a few years ago I still see lots of restaurants sell both Chinese and Japanese food. This series is awesome. Maybe the a series of video about different Japanese regions and their food too?
Yangzhou Fried Rice is original from Canton, Cantonese chiefs use Cantonese barbecue Pork and Shrimps to make Yangzhou Fried Rice. Yangzhou didn't have Cantonese BBQ pork back then.
Finally realized that Sichuan is considered "West" and Beijing is considered "North" because Manchuria, Mongolia, Tibet and East Turkestan weren't parts of China for most of its existence. Mind blown.
East turkestan also existed for like 3. Years. I would not use the name, Non Turkic have been living there forever especially north Xinjiang which used to be dunzaria
I think it's funny that people complain about Westernized Chinese Cuisine for being too sweet when authentic Shanghai cuisine is actually much sweeter. I lived in Shanghai for 3 months before moving to Chengdu, and wasn't a big fan of the food there, though some of it was really good.
My friend who's familiar with the western part of china said that the farmers there tend to be lazy because of the rich soil and climate. Farming produce is very easy (in comparison to other places) and you get high quality produce as well.
There are so many foods in China, even if the same ingredients are cooked differently in different places, you can refer to Wikipedia's 4 major Chinese cuisines
Actually rice doesn't need more water, it's just that it's a crop that can withstand huge amounts of water so that's why it's suitable for flooded areas
Would have been a good video if it wasn't for the politically incorrect map. Not sure if its just ignorance or do you honestly support the PRC's colonialist ambitions?
I think that the PRC would disagree with you. In any event, I think the video is more concerned with "Chinese" as a culture (of which Taiwan is most certainly a part of) and the "China" as a geopolitical entity.
Actually Taiwan is a province of Republic of China, which also includes Kinmen and Matsu, a province of Fujian in Republic of China. And Peoples Republic of China is a difference country. But both of them are Chinese culture at heart.
@@sunnydaysddt2068 The Han people belong to the largest ethnic group in China, with around 90% of people in mainland China being Han. Taiwan counts 90% of people as Han Chinese as well, Hong Kong has about 6.6 million Han Chinese, while Singapore has 2.7 million Han. Macau counts 88,4% of people as Han Chinese, but that doesn't mean that same race is the same as ethnic group.
@A L Sure, South Korea's official name is Republic of Korea, is it the same as North Korea which is called Democratic People's Republic of Korea? Names are different even they both contain the word china. Culture is totally different, education is totally different and people are much nicer and friendly. They keep old traditions while chinese ppl destroy their history. Taiwan takes care of their different type of people, while china puts them into concentration camps to re educate them or many of them even are not alive anymore cuz they did not agree with their presidents dictatorship....
@A L Seeing what you say, you are more Chinese than anything else. You are defending what china defends and that's a shame for you to call you Malaysian. I don't talk about the past, I talk about the preset, Taiwan is freedoom, while Thibet's monks are in concentration camps cuz they are not allowed to freely practice their believes. China is the worst place for himan beings after North Korea. Also Taiwanese are not that Han as you think, they are pretty mix with the local and japanese, some of them might be pure but that doesn't mean they are chinese anymore. European ppl went all around the world, are they still call themselves english or spanish? no, they have their country and their culture. And for you, if you believe china is an amazing place, I invite you to go there to live and enjoy the communism and the lack of human rights.
Chinese foods are basically oily and grilled. Not good. Japanese and Korean ones use less oil and less grilled. Koreans have lots of fermented ones and Japanese ones have lots of sea foods. No wonder both are top countries with longest life expectancy. China is well behind around 60th. Food is one of the most important factor along with health system and pollutions.
Total bs. You only know a tiny bit of Chinese food, but generalize all Chinese food. China is far more larger than Japan and Korea. Different regions have different diet. Life expectancy ranking: HK 1st, Macau 3rd, these people also eat Chinese food. And mainland China , with 1.4billion population rank much higher than India, a country with similar population.
Take your unsolicited bs opinion elsewhere and stop parading your ignorance. You don't even have an iota of clue of what's Chinese food let along being in the position to make comparison. Life expectancy have a lot to do with health care service as well which is why people in developed countries have way higher life expectancy in general. When China becomes one, trust me, they cab easily surpass Koreans'.

That was very well done. Simple, straight forward, and to the point. Keep up the good work!
Amazing content! I can’t wait to share with people!
This was an awesome and quick video, very interactive. NEXT EPISODE.
Great site and love the way you simplify the 4 basic regions and cooking styles, makes learning so much better.... you are great ...
Amazing! Well done! Such a great video.
Keep up the good works! Love it~~ 💖💖💖
Loved your series!!! delicious and educational
Thank you so much! This helped me understand a lot better!
Just found out about this channel and this is really an awesome series! Subscribed and Chinese food for life :)

Happy to learn more.
excellent content Goldthread. I killed the thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the high-quality work.
Wahhh!! Love this serie already :))
Thank you for share!
Amazing video!
The introduction is really clear!👍
Nice. Thank you!
awesome info!
Great to see you accurately draw the map of China!
It is a clever video to classify Chinese food in logical and geographical way. Great job!
Thank you very much!
Love love love LURVvv this series
It's wonderful to see such commitment to quality products. We would happy to explore how we can partner to enhance your product offerings.
Nice!
Sichuan will always be my favorite of all the Chinese regional cuisine.❤
My top food choice for home cooking during these times
I wish you put the links to the following videos. Unfortunately I have now given up trying to find them in your video history. I was looking forward to watching them and watching the breakdown of each area..
Tysm
Chinese food is very diversified. The region I come from don't like eating rice and many people here have never seen spring rolls.
Obviously, it’s a good ideal to tell Chinese culture by Chinese food🥟🥟🥟
This is great! When I was in the US a few years ago I still see lots of restaurants sell both Chinese and Japanese food. This series is awesome. Maybe the a series of video about different Japanese regions and their food too?
Yeah,the food always looks very delicious.I often want to go to China.I used to hear of the Chinese are good to international friends
@@starbals4384 wtf you talking about lol? “Heard Chinese good to international”? Lmfao
@@lsuronak1992Mfer never got past middle school and didn’t learn how to properly quote Lmfao
Very interesting
Did not expect to hear Tokyopill on a video about Chinese food
Amazing summary. Yeah, Cantonese cuisine rocks. Hoisin 海鲜 means “seafood” in Cantonese, so hoisin sauce literally means seafood sauce.
Should have Xi'an food, Zhang (Tibetan), and Uyghur food. Very popular too.
Don't worry CCP is trying to make it disappear completely.
Not Zhang, I believe it's Zang(藏)
@@heic1971 You might be disappointed😂，because you can see uyghur food in every chinese city, especially uyghur barbecue.
and on Duanwu all of China eats zongzi!! :D Happy Duanwu Goldthread!
This is amazing
Northern Chinese cuisine my favorite
Yangzhou Fried Rice is original from Canton, Cantonese chiefs use Cantonese barbecue Pork and Shrimps to make Yangzhou Fried Rice. Yangzhou didn't have Cantonese BBQ pork back then.
It’s called Yangzhou fried rice it’s from Yangzhou. Ingredients were jinhua ham, shrimp, pea, chicken and egg fried rice
What about Xinjiang and Uyghur cuisine? Are they not included or do you only include them when it’s convenient?
What about the Bhuddhist Vegan and Vegetarian cuisine?
vegetarian in china? 🤣🤣
Good video, but there is a mistake in the Chinese map.
I'm binge-watching videos Clarissa is featured in.
No Wei man ,this is interesting.
Skim isn't part of china why you add t
Finally realized that Sichuan is considered "West" and Beijing is considered "North" because Manchuria, Mongolia, Tibet and East Turkestan weren't parts of China for most of its existence. Mind blown.
They also didn't exist for the most of the history, longest would be tibet though
East turkestan also existed for like 3. Years. I would not use the name, Non Turkic have been living there forever especially north Xinjiang which used to be dunzaria

fun fact: Northeast China produces more than 1/3 of yearly rice production.
Its easy

No mention of pork?
There are so many foods in China, even if the same ingredients are cooked differently in different places, you can refer to Wikipedia's 4 major Chinese cuisines
why the fuck did you delete shanxi, shaanxi and ningxia from the north?
what about north east cuisine, and mongolian cuisines and all the other minorities like xinjiang and guangxi people, and xi'an people?
Actually rice doesn't need more water, it's just that it's a crop that can withstand huge amounts of water so that's why it's suitable for flooded areas
I don't know, it seems that it actually has to be planted in a flooded field.
I'm team jiangsu and guangdong
What is Chinese food? Well its delicious it's simple
Great video, in the map though at 0:20 Taiwan 🇹🇼 is shown as part of China :(
that's because Taiwan is part of China, the Republic of China 🇹🇼
anything wrong, taiwan province?
What about Hong Kong? Sadge
You should look up Taiwan’s official name
Beef noodle soup actually came from muslims in the west not beijing-shandong corridor.

你的地图有点问题，中间那条分界线应该往南移，它太靠北了。中国南北是以黄河为分界线的，基本从河南开始以北（包括河南），除了少数几个城市，其他人基本都不会常吃米饭，只会偶尔吃。

In Guangdong, people like to eat authentic food. Don't add too much seasoning. Otherwise, it will drown out the freshness of the food itself.
地图正确，👍

Would have been a good video if it wasn't for the politically incorrect map. Not sure if its just ignorance or do you honestly support the PRC's colonialist ambitions?
这样地区确实还不够准确，没有把中国南海标注出来
It is true that such an area is not accurate enough to mark the South China Sea.
Taiwan isn’t part of China. Please correct it.

Sikekapi Damnn..... you’re just stirring up an argument bc not once have I heard the word “Taiwan” in the vid.......
Stop causing shit you plug
Taiwan has more Japanese value and the culture is very different
And now you can exclude Taiwan from your chinese map. If someone want to learn for their country there are channels for this, just focus on China now.
chinese food: i fear no man but that thing
mao zedong and communism
chinese food: it scares me
Taiwan is not part of China. The culture/food of Taiwan is very different
What is the difference?
Did Taiwan become different after being colonized and having its culture modified?
Taiwan is the people who migrated from Fujian, China, mainly because of the division of the memory of the Republic of China

Your videos are great but Taiwan is not a part of China, thank you.
I believe that they added Taiwan because it’s Culturally Chinese and not because it’s a part of China.
