With one of the largest territory on the planet and several timezones, it is not a surprise that traditional dishes change heavily from north to south, from east to west. In areas such as Sichuan spices are heavily used, while noodles are usually made with grain the north while rely on rice in the southeast of the Country. With such complexity, it is hard to get to know the "real" Chinese food and - as general rule of thumbs - no, fried chicken is not at all representative of the Chinese cuisine.
Key ingredients are rice, wheat and vegetables, often prepared using a wok, but also beef and mostly pork find their space within the culinary landscape. While fish is not widely used, seafood can be found in many typical dishes.
