Recently, I have developed a new interest in Asian cooking due to it being full of flavour and quick to cook. However using a good quality Wok or other Asian cookware and accessories can make all the difference.

The Chinese culinary culture has a distant source and has been developed for many centuries.

The legend has it that the Chinese cooking culture originated with Yi Yin, a virtuous and capable minister of the Shang Dynasty(ca. 15th to 11th century B.C.).

It can be seen that China initiated the culinary art as early as the Shang and Zhou (ca. 11th century to 221 B.C.) times. With the growth and development of productivity and economy during various periods, people have been always exploring new cooking techniques ----from brevity to variety, from rudimentary to advanced stage, from day-to-day snacks to feasts, even to palatial dishes and delicacies.

During the period from the spring and Autumn Period (ca. 770-476 B.C.) and the Warring Stated Period (ca. 475-221 B.C.), to the Sui-Tang period, the Chinese dishes began to be separated by Southern and Northern tastes. In general, the southern dishes emphasize freshness and tenderness. While due to the cold weather, northern dishes are relatively oily, and the use of vinegar and garlic tends to be quite popular.
