China is vast, and its cuisines are as different from each other as they are from any other world cuisine. While the cuisines of the Sichuan or Cantonese provinces are familiar to most, in the final post of this series, we explain the ones you may not be as familiar with, but are just as delicious.

If you’ve been following this series closely, you are now ready come on over to Zhouyu and order like a pro. See you soon!

Here’s one for all the seafood lovers. Our prawn in Yuxiang sauce - a “fish fragrant” Sichuan blend that uses aromatics like garlic, ginger, scallion, black vinegar, doubanjiang, and a dash of sugar to enhance the flavour of seafood.

Think prawns, but with the flavour dialed up to 100. Sweet, sour, spicy, savoury, spectacular.

In part 1, you cracked the flavours and preparations. Now it’s time to talk ingredients. A lot of what makes Chinese cooking distinct starts with the produce - some familiar, some not so much. Part 2 of our Chinese menu thesaurus covers the ingredients you’ll see on the menu, and what they tell you about the dish.

A Chinese menu can be unfamiliar territory, full of terms that don’t explain themselves. We’re on a mission to decode them. Here’s a term-by-term thesaurus to help you read the menu better, understand the dish, and order like a pro. Part 1 covers flavours and preparations.

It’s got succulent pork, fresh cucumber, and the earthy crunch of peanut - but the best thing about this dish is the dressing. Ever since our last exploratory trip to China, we’ve had a bit of a sesame obsession. In the mainland, sesame paste is used as a condiment alongside chilli oil and all the other usual suspects. So of course we had to create our own roasted sesame paste, but with a Sichuan kick. Turns out it’s the perfect dressing if you like earthy dishes with a healthy dose of freshness and heat.

Traditionally, claypot cooking is a technique that focuses on meat, but if you’ve ever been to Zhouyu, you’d know that we never want our vegetarian friends to miss out on something delicious. We wanted to recreate that same experience and depth of flavour, but in a vegetarian dish.

We took 3 kinds of mushrooms with varying textures, and made a sauce bursting with the deep, rich flavours of umami. A dish that is as hearty and delicious as any classic claypot, with no compromise.

Come try our 3 kinds of mushroom over rice. Click the link in our bio for reservations.
