The Most Amazing ‘MANDARIN STYLE – PAN FRIED NOODLES’ Recipe

What is Mandarin Style Food?

Mandarin cooking is one of the most popular forms of Chinese cuisine. This form of cooking was also influenced by the Chinese imperial cuisine, where thousands of cooks from different parts of China would present their best dishes to the emperor and his royal family in the Forbidden City.

What Does It Taste Like?

Unlike Szechwan or Southern style, Mandarin cooking is typically not spicy. Instead, mild spices are mixed with colorful vegetables to create full-bodied, rich flavors. Also, contrary to Southern-style cooking, Mandarin cuisine tends to use soy sauce to enhance the flavor profile of the other ingredients. Additionally, most of the dishes are focused around a wheat-based food, like noodles or dumplings, instead of rice.
