Fish Manchurian Recipe

Some say Chinese cuisine is 400,000 years old going back to the Peking Man and his use of fire.
Some other accounts of the history of Chinese cuisine takes the beginning to the Chinese stone
age. However today Chinese cuisine enjoys the distinction of being the most popular in the
world.
All this furore about Chinese food can make one wonder what is so special about this cuisine.
To put it in one word it is wholesome. It has the characteristics of being nutritious, economical,
balanced and delicious. It cannot be gainsaid that Chinese food is popular the world over and it
can be adapted into our modern lifestyles as the strong link between diet and health of body,
mind and spirit is epitomized in Chinese cookery. We all desire harmony in our lives and this
works on the ancient Taoist principle of Yin and Yang in which balance and contrast are the key.
Each Chinese dish reflects a balance of taste, texture, aroma and colour. Be it sweet, sour,
pungent, hot, salty or spicy all the six basic flavours are incorporated deftly in all Chinese
dishes.
