英语介绍中国食物

To the Chinese, cooking is an art in itself. Chinese cuisine places emphasis on colour, aroma and flavour. Not only must a dish taste good, it must also appeal to the senses to be able to when the appetite.

先来说说烹饪技巧啊

There are countless ways to cook the same ingredients , and each way of cooking imparts its own unique flavor to the food.

蒸：steam

炒：stir-fry

炖，烩：stew

煮：boil

炸：deep fry

煎：shallow-fry

烤：bake（一般用于蛋糕），roast（一般用于肉类）

还有一种是叫做：poach,这种中文翻译是水煮，但是又不同于boil的水煮，如果你要介绍红烧鱼的话，它的做法就是这个。

再来说味道：

酸：sour

甜：sweet

苦：bitter

辣：hot/spicy

麻：西餐不会用到sichuan pepper,应该很少有麻的东西，要解释的话最好是sting，但是最好说明是吃在嘴里的感觉。

咸：salty

软：soft/tender

硬：hard

脆：crispy

接下来你要是想卖弄一番呢，就简单介绍一下八大菜系
