Beijing Cuisine - RITAMA

Beijing Cuisine

• Description:

Beijing cuisine, also known as Jing cuisine and Mandarin cuisine, is the traditional food of Beijing.As the capital city of China for centuries, its cuisine is influenced by culinary traditions from all over China. Another tradition that influenced Beijing cuisine is the Chinese imperial cuisine that originated from the "Emperor's Kitchen", which referred to the cooking facilities inside the Forbidden City, where thousands of cooks from different parts of China showed their best culinary skills to please the imperial family and officials. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to determine the actual origin of a dish as the term "Mandarin" is generalised and refers not only to Beijing, but other provinces as well.However, some generalisation of Beijing cuisine can be characterised as follows: Foods that originated in Beijing are often snacks rather than main courses, and they are typically sold by small shops or street vendors.
