Bilingual Menu for Staple Food
The traditional Chinese staple food is mainly plant-based food, including rice, wheat, and corn, as the mode of production in the Central Plains of China is mainly agricultural production. Chinese cooking culture is the axis of the oriental diet cultural circle, which has an effect on a number of countries, such as Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and Singapore. It also has an indirect influence on Europe, America, and Africa. Chinese vegetarian diet, tea culture, cooked wheaten food, and herbal cuisine have spread worldwide.
Rice is the major staple food in China, especially in south China. But in north China, people like Steamed bread and noodles.
