THE CHINESE COOK BOOK

THE HISTORY OF CHINESECOOKINGIn ancient times stoves were very differentfrom now; hence cooking was crude and lesselaborate. The food was broiled over coals orburied in hot ashes.Theportable stoves ofPompeii which were dug up during the uncovering of the buried city show how these stoveswere made. Others were the oven fireplace,the brick oven, and the Franklin stove inventedby Benjamin Franklin.The cook-stovesadapted to wood were very different from thegas and electrical appliances of to-day.It was but a step for primitive man, frombaking in hot ashes, or in a covered kettle seton coals, to a simple form of oven. Often oneSometimes a fire wasserved a community.built directly in the oven, and when it wasburned down the oven was swept out and thefood put in to be cooked by the heated bricks.The later brick oven, still used in some oldhouses, had a space underneath for a separate

THE CHINESE COOK BOOK2fire.Charcoal was the primitive form of fuelused in some countries, especially in those having a mild climate.This difference between the stoves of longago and now has helped to improve our cooking.The Chinese method of cooking was inventedby the Emperor of Pow Hay Se in the year3000 B.C. Confucius, the great philosopher,taughthowto eat scientifically.The propor-meat should not be more than that ofThere ought to be a little finger inone's food. Confucius would not eat anythingwhich was not chopped up properly. To-day,tion ofvegetable.unconsciously, the Chinese people are obeyingthissame law.It is this scientific custom which makes Chinesefoodparticularlynourishing and beneficial.In ancient days the Chinese used knives andforks. Later, they found that sometimes theseimpaired the delicious flavor of the food; hencetheir use of chop-sticksand spoons.China has always been noted for its cookingMany Americans prefer Chinese cooking. Infact, many Americans have Chinese cooks intheir kitchens.After having tasted Chinese

But he had nottaken into consideration her cleverness.The bride took the cane and, with a scraper,removed the outside rind. Then she put thepound of pork, cut into pieces, and the remaining cane through a grinder. To this choppedcane she added the white of an egg, and, usinga little cornstarch, mixed all well together.

She fried these balls inand proudly set them before their guest,who was astonished at their delicious flavorand tastiness.This story simply shows the magic of Chinese cooking.

GENERAL LAWS OF CHINESECOOKINGAChinese dish consists of three parts: (a)meat; (b) secondary vegetables, such as Chinese water chestnut, bamboo shoot, celery, Chinese mushroom, and sometimes other vegetables according to the season; (c) the garnishon the top of each dish, consisting of Chineseham, chicken, or roast pork cut up into smalldice or into small bars about one inch long, andenough parsley to aid the taste as well as toornament the dish.The amount of meat, in accordance with thehygienic law of Confucius, is about one-thirdthat of the secondary vegetables.The meat should beas the vegetablesbe cut intothe same size and shapeand must be uniform.dice, into bars, or intojudgment must be usedof the vegetableisas to thisItmayfragmentswhenthe sizelimited.There are three methods employed in Chinese cooking; steaming, frying, and boiling.B
