In the long history of Chinese cooking, the cooking methods have become quite extensive.

We're confident that as you become adept at these basic Chinese cooking techniques, you will become the gourmet Chinese chef that you've always wanted to be.
Cutting methods, for the most part, are universal in all cultures, such as slice, julienne, dice, etc. But there are a few that are unique to Chinese cooking: parallel cutting, and roll-cutting. The most important part in preparing Chinese food is to cut the pieces uniformly. This not only ensures that all the pieces will be cooked evenly, but also makes the dish most presentable.
