China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.4 billion in 2019.
Chinese cuisine is renowned for its diversity and rich flavors, reflecting the country's vast geography and cultural history. It encompasses a wide range of regional styles, including Sichuan's bold and spicy dishes, Cantonese cuisine's emphasis on freshness and subtlety, and the hearty, wheat-based foods of Northern China. Ingredients like rice, noodles, soy sauce, and a variety of vegetables and meats are staples, often prepared using techniques such as stir-frying, steaming, and braising. The balance of flavors—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami—is a hallmark of Chinese cooking, making it one of the most popular and influential cuisines worldwide.
