Delicious Facts About Chinese Food
1. Rice! Rice has an incredibly long history (with documentation of people eating it as early as 2500 B.C.). China is the world's top producer and consumer of rice. It produces and consumes one third of the world's rice, about 200 million tons a year.
2. Scallion Pancake. Scallion Pancake is a Chinese, savory, unleavened flatbread folded with oil and minced scallions (green onions). Unlike Western pancakes, it is made from dough instead of batter. 
3. Fried Rice. Chinese fried rice is our comfort food. Think of it—a bowl of steaming white rice cooked to just the right consistency, filled with bits of meat and vegetable. No wonder fried rice is one of the world's most popular rice dishes! 
4. Noodles. Chinese boiled noodles represent one of the core staples of our entire cuisine. They can be found in hundreds of variations inside countless dishes, which has fueled not only by the changes in cooking fashion over the entire history of Chinese nation, but also because of regional preferences. The earliest known noodles found in China are dated to 4 thousand years ago.  Chinese-style noodles have also entered the cuisines of neighboring East Asian countries such as Korea (jajangmyeon) and Japan (ramen), as well as Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam (hủ tiếu and mì xào are both examples of Vietnamese dishes that are of Chinese origin), Cambodia (Kuy teav) and Thailand.
5. Lamb Rice Pilaf. Pilaf is a staple delicacy in Xinjiang, northwest China. It is also a prominent dish served on holidays and celebrations, for ethnic groups such as the Uyghur and Uzbek people. Pilaf is called 新疆手抓饭in Chinese, literarily meaning that it can be eaten with one’s hands.
6. Dumplings. Dumplings represent happiness and celebration and are typically served on Chinese Spring Festival. The small, precise shape of an authentic Chinese dumpling is intended to mimic the look of gold or silver “ingots”, which are good-luck coins. It is common to place a coin inside each dumpling on Spring Festival Eve. 
7. Hot Pot. Chinese hot pot 火锅, also known as Chinese fondue, is one of the most popular meals in China. Why do Chinese people like me and all eaters in the know love hot pot so much? To answer that question, let us go back a bit—like, say, 1,000 years, when the Jin Dynasty reigned in China. The origins of hot pot can be traced to Mongolian horsemen who traveled into China. Weary and hungry, the men supposedly cooked soups in their helmets over open fires and added various meats to the broth. While the practice produces ridiculously warming, tasty results, especially in the winter months, it also naturally encourages hours of eating, drinking, and conversing. In short, hot pot can usually be equated to good times.
