The "Cooking Chinese Dishes" series consists of nine volumes, including seafood dishes, meat dishes, vegetable dishes, bean dishes, soup dishes, cold dishes, pastry dishes, poultry and egg dishes, and home banquet dishes. This volume focuses on soup dishes, featuring 40 different cooking methods for soup dishes. Soup dishes are an indispensable part of any meal. Chinese chefs have a saying: "The tone of an opera singer, the soup of a chef." This highlights the importance Chinese chefs place on soup-making. In Chinese cuisine, "soup" can be divided into two categories. One is the stock used as an ingredient, also known as fresh stock, which is prepared once and used in stages during cooking. The other type is the soup itself, which is the dish. Soup dishes can be both home-cooked meals and grand banquet dishes, with a wide variety of ingredients, flavors, and cooking methods, resulting in soups with diverse tastes and colors. Readers can easily practice and create soup dishes that suit their own and their family's preferences.
