Chinese cuisine is famous all over the world, and for good reason. There are so many different styles of cooking in China that you could eat something different every day of the year. Unfortunately, the diversity and uniqueness of Chinese cuisine often gets lost in Chinese restaurants outside of the country. If you’ve ever been to a Chinese buffet in the US, you’re probably used to things like sweet & sour chicken, egg rolls, and fortune cookies. You won’t find any of these things on the menu in a real Chinese restaurant, though. Here are 10 must-try foods in China so you know what to order when you travel to the Middle Kingdom.<\/p>\n

These tasty little morsels can be found all over the country and come in a variety of styles – steamed, boiled, and fried. Making the dumplings is quite the social affair, especially during the Spring Festival<\/a>. It doesn’t have to be Chinese New Year to eat dumplings, though. They’re great for any occasion! Mix up a bowl with some soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and chili, and you’ve got one of the best dishes out there. Rather than just eat the dumplings, why not learn how to make them?
