Seasoning for Chinese Cooking

Learning to cook Chinese dishes requires you to know the basic seasonings requirements. If you are a first timer make sure to go to your nearest Chinese convenient store to purchase the basic seasoning. Here is the list of items you should have before experimenting with Chinese cooking.

The seasonings are:-

• Soy sauce
• Sesame oil
• Vinegar
• Cornstarch
• MSG (Although widely used in restaurant cooking, I do not recommend this for your home kitchen)
• Sugar
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Frying oil

The above are the basic requirements to start cooking Chinese food. Make sure you have this stock up in your kitchen cabinets.
