Cooking is usually associated with the application of heat in order to prepare food. Technically, cooking really refers to non-heated methods of food preparation as all.

A real definition of cooking would be that it is the preparation of food through some manner that changes its texture, flavor, digestibility, or any number of other factors. It is usually done in some planned and organized manner. This may be a very complex and ordered application of various procedures and the addition of various ingredients, or it may be as simple as throwing a hamburger on a grill over an open flame.

Sauces and spices are essential in any cooking. No dishes would taste good without them. These are some of the most popular ingredients, sauces and spices that we use in Chinese cooking.

Chinese egg noodles. They can be used in soups and stir-fry dishes as well as being boiled then fried until they’re crisp. This is the most popular type of noodle for Chinese cooking.

Shiitake mushrooms. They tough stalks which can be used for flavouring but should be thrown away before the dish is presented. They are often sold dried and should be reconstituted in hot water for 30 minutes. The soaking water can be added to soups for extra flavour.
