I'm Nicholas Zhou. I
love Chinese food since I was born.
And I am a darn good cook. But don't take my word
for it. Take a look at the following and pictures and
find out how I taught others to cook Chinese food
in cooking classes and how I often cook for big parties.
I began to learn cooking Chinese food from my mom
when I was 9. I was able to know the difference
between ginger and garlic and how to use a pancake
turner.
When I was 12, I began to help my aunt in the kitchen
(this was how I paid for my school clothes and
supplies). My aunt was a very famous chef in
town. Actually she was like the local chief chef and
was invited to cook for all the major events, feasts
and wedding parties held in town. She taught me everything
about cooking - selecting ingredients, balancing
nutrition, 6 key techniques in Chinese cooking, 8
Chinese cooking styles and even table etiquette.
I still remember one day when I was 15.
"Hui (my nick name), I don't have anything to teach you any more."
My aunt said after a graduation feast. I guess
that's when I graduated from Chinese cooking school.
In the past 10 years, I never stopped learning cooking.
I always bring my favorite Joyce Chen wok with me
whenever I move to.
But I never thought of coming up with a
cookbook until February 3rd, 1997 - my aunt passed
away because of cancer. I didn't have a chance to
say goodbye to her face to face because I was going
to college far away from hometown. I was thinking of
doing something for her. Nothing is better than
writing a cookbook.
After one and a half years of work, I came up with
the Chinese version cookbook in 1998 and got it
published with a national publisher. About 560,000
copies have been sold since then.
In 2000, my friend suggested that I should translate my
cookbook into English and bring it to all people
around the world who love Chinese food. In order to
let this book be suitable for most people, I
visited all the major Chinese restaurants
here in Ohio and studied hundreds of restaurant
menus. I talked to scores of doctors
about healthy eating and nutrition. I subscribed to
several major health publications and read health
news regularly. After two years of research,
I came up with my English version e-cookbook "Real
and Healthy Chinese Cooking".

Eat
a Healthy and Balanced Diet
Some people don't
really understand how important eating healthy food
is to us. Let's look at some statement:
1. Over a billion people worldwide are now
overweight and 300 million are clinically obese.
People who are overweight have a
higher risk of developing serious health problems in
later life, including heart disease, diabetes,
stroke, type 2 diabetes,
bowel cancer, and high blood pressure. Most people
put on excess weight because their lifestyles
include an unhealthy diet
and a lack of physical activity.
2. According to Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and
Prevention, post-menopausal women may reduce their risk of
developing cancer by 35% if they eat a healthy diet
and lead a healthy
lifestyle. This result was based on 29,564
post-menopausal women, aged 55-69 for a research
period of 13 years.
3. People who ate three or more servings of fruit
per day have 36% lower risk of developing the sight
loss than people who
ate less than one and a half servings per day.
(According to Archives of Ophthalmology)
4. Eat low fat food regularly can reduce the chance
of developing heart disease and certain cancers.
5. Calorie reduction can increase life expectancy by
up to 30 percent
6.Vitamins can cut cancer death rates by 37%
7. Foods that contain the mineral selenium and
plant-based chemical sulforaphane in combination may
have a 13 times greater
ability to protect against cancer than when the food
compounds are used separately.
......
This list can go on and on. But I think you've got
the point:
Eat healthy and balanced food daily can protect us
from developing major health problems like heart
disease, cancer,
diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure.

Chinese Food IS the Solution:
Healthy & Balanced Food for You!
Ancient
Chinese philosophy has a very important influence in
Chinese food culture. Let's first look at a very
interesting picture:
This is the traditional symbol for the forces of
yin and yang, sometimes described as two
fish swimming head to tail. The left half is yin and
the right half is yang. Taken literally, yin and
yang mean the dark side and sunny side of a hill.
People commonly think of yin and yang as opposing
forces. However, it is really more appropriate to
view them as complementary pairs. The Chinese
believe problems arise not when the two forces are
battling, but when there is an imbalance between
them. Floods, divorce, or even a fire in the
kitchen - all can be attributed to disharmony
in the forces of yin and yang.
How does the concept of yin and yang relate to
food?
A basic adherence to this philosophy can be found in
ANY Chinese dish, from stir-fried beef with
broccoli to sweet and sour pork. There is always a
balance in color, flavors, and textures.
However, belief in the importance of following
the principles of yin and yang in the diet extends
further.
Certain foods have yin properties, while others
have yang properties - Cooling or warm, fat or
non-fat, high-calorie or low- calorie, and etc.
Almost no foodstuff is purely yin or yang - it's
more that one characteristic tends to dominate. It
also reinforces that it is not so much the
individual ingredients, as the the balance and
contrast between ingredients in each dish, that is
important. Interestingly, cooking methods also have
more of a yin or yang property, as the list below demonstrates.
Cooking Methods:
|
|
|
|
Boiling |
Deep-frying |
|
Poaching |
Roasting |
|
Steaming |
Stir-frying |
Types of Foods:

Chinese food emphasizes on consuming a diet that
contains a healthy balance between yin and yang.
You'll find most Chinese dishes are made of a
mixture of ingredients and each meal is made up
of a combination of dishes.
That's why:
-
You
always get a cup of steamed rice for every entree
-
There is
usually vegetable mixed with meat entree
-
A fried
dish usually comes with a steamed dish or soup
I know you have already realized that Chinese
food is healthy and balanced food that is good for
your health.
Actually according to a survey held by the food
industry,
-
72.4%
people think that Chinese food is healthy
-
89.3%
people like Chinese food
-
67.8%
people would like to cook Chinese food if they know
how
Before you start looking for vitamin pills or
supplements, start eating a health and
balanced diet from today.

Chinese cuisine
aims for perfection and balance among four elements in each
dish: color, aroma or fragrance, flavor,
and presentation. Colors should be pleasing, showing
that the ingredients are fresh and tender. Aromas should be
appetizing. Finally, the dish should be beautifully arranged
and presented. Good Chinese cooking is also distinguished by
its meticulous cutting, careful blending of
seasonings, and attention to temperature control.
With this in mind, I feel it's better if I can add pictures
into the cookbook. I know it's a little bit scary to cook
Chinese food by yourself for the first time - You never
know how the dish should look like.
But NOT with my cookbook! You will get 543 pages

All 4 Major Chinese Cooking Styles
Learn how to cook
the most popular dishes from four major regions in China.
Beijing.
Beijing cuisine is also called "mandarin cuisine". Many of
the foods in this region are wheat-based (as a opposed to
rice-based). Beijing cuisine consists of a variety of
dumplings, baked and steamed breads, various buns and
noodles.Mandarin-style meals usually include vegetable dishes,
soups, tofu (soybean curd), and fish. The food is mild in
taste, is often slightly oily, and vinegar and garlic are
common ingredients; food is frequently fried, stewed, or
braised.
Cantonese.
From Canton or "Guangdong" Province in the southeastern part
of China (the same area as Hong Kong), Cantonese food is the
mildest and most common kind of Chinese food in the United
States and many other countries.Cantonese food tends to be more colorful, less spicy and is
usually stir fried, which preserves both the texture and
flavor.
Szechwan and
Hunan. Food from the Szechwan (or "Four Rivers") basin
is characteristic south-western Chinese food. Food
throughout the western regions of China are liberal in their
use of garlic, scallions, and chilly. Consequently, it's the
spiciest region of Chinese food available and certainly very
tasty. When prepared in a traditional manner, many of the
dishes are very hot, although banquet dishes tend to be
milder.Sichuan food is distinguished by its hot peppery taste,
while food from neighboring Hunan province is richer and a
bit more oily, and may be either spicy and hot or sweet and
sour. Chicken, pork, river fish, and shellfish are all
popular items.
Choose your
favorite dishes based on different styles. But never
limit yourself from one style. You can always find
wonderful dishes from every cooking style.

collection of authentic and healthy Chinese recipes in the past.
Don't be fooled by some of the HUGE, free recipe sites online. A large
percentage of those recipes won't be healthy, many won't be
quick-to-prepare, and who knows if they're any good since they are most often
posted by anyone who wants to submit a recipe. You'll have to WADE
THROUGH a lot of duds to find recipes meeting your criteria at these sites,
but.....
ALL of the recipes in my cookbook meet 3 VERY
IMPORTANT CRITERIA:
