Food in Shanghai:
Though with a history of more than 400 years, Shanghai cuisine is the youngest among the ten major cuisine in China. Traditionally it was called Benbang cuisine, originated in Ming and Qing years. Good at pickling in wine and cooking methods like baking, stewing, teaming, deep-frying, they usually look red and shiny. In the later part of 19th century after Shanghai became a major domestic and international trading port, Benbang dishes underwent some substantial changes by adopting certain merits of other cuisine. It formed a complex flavor structure, cooking style and technique norms. It stresses using condiments and keeping the original flavors of the materials and has features of being fresh, smooth and crispy.
Therefore, Shanghai cooking are not regional designations, but terms used to describe cooking styles. Shanghai cooking refers to a cosmopolitan combination of many Chinese cooking styles.
