Chinese food has become an international phenomenon as it can be found in the unlikeliest and most unexpected places. Wherever Chinese people have traveled or settled, Chinese food has gone with them. This globalization of food and food culture is echoed in China as international dishes become more popular and competed with native foods. In the United States, for example, there are three times as many Chinese restaurants as there are McDonald’s. Despite the fact that Chinese food is popular all over the world, there is little understanding of the differences in cuisines that come from different parts of China. Although westerners would be familiar with such dishes as Kung Pao Chicken (宮保雞丁) or Moo Goo Gai Pan (蘑菇雞片), they would not recognize which region of China these dishes would come from. Chinese dishes are usually divided into five main regions: the Southeast in Guangdong, the East Coast in Fujian, the Central region in Henan, the Northeastern region in Beijing and Shandong, and the Western region in Sichuan and Hunan. To most foreigners, all of these are labeled simply as Chinese food and usually served together without additional information. Cooking Chinese food at home is also becoming more popular as seen in the openings of large Asian supermarkets in many places in the world. The mixing of Chinese cuisine abroad and Western food here in China is a sign that China is becoming more developed and integrated into the community of nations.

中國食物已變得越來越國際化,甚至在最不招人喜歡和最意想不到的地方都可以找得到。無論中國人到哪旅游或居住,中國食物都會(huì)跟隨著他們。這種食物和食物文化的全球化體現(xiàn)在國際菜式越來越受歡迎,并于本土食物展開激烈競爭上。例如,在美國,中國餐館的數(shù)量是麥當(dāng)勞的三倍。盡管中國食物在全球很受歡迎,但人們對來自中國各地烹飪的不同之處卻了解不多。盡管西方人對宮保雞丁或蘑菇雞片都很熟悉,但他們對于這些菜來自中國哪個(gè)地區(qū)就不甚了解了。中國菜通常分為五個(gè)主要地區(qū):東南部的廣東、東部沿海的福建、中部的河南、東北部的北京和山東,以及西部的四川合湖南。對于大多數(shù)外國人而言,所有這些菜都被簡單地冠以中國菜之名,上菜時(shí)通常也不會(huì)有額外的說明。在家里烹飪中國菜越來越流行,正如在世界許多地方大型亞洲超市紛紛開張一樣。國外的中國烹飪與中國的西方食物的融合標(biāo)志著中國變得越來越發(fā)達(dá),并逐漸融入到國際社會(huì)之中。
