Chinese food is much more than just stir-fry, noodles, and dumplings. In this video, we break down Chinese food into roughly four schools—north, south, east, and west—and explain what makes them different. This is the first episode in a 13-part series on Chinese food (we know, it’s a lot). Stay tuned for our deep dive into regional Chinese cuisine.
