The main methods of cooking are deepfrying, sautéing, stirfrying and roasting. When you are in Beijing, an opportunity to sample its famous Peking Duck should not be passed. This dish is known for its scented, crispy skin and is served with pancakes, hoisin sauce and spring onions. All the ingredients are rolled into a tube and it is a delightful blend of taste and texture.[2] Guangdong Guangdong food features a wide range of refined ingredients and quick frying.[3] The dishes are fresh, tender, refreshing and smooth. Guangdong chefs always try to adapt the dishes according to the season—light flavoring in summer but heavy during winter. Restaurants in Guangdong offer specialties such as smoked pomfret, steamed pomfret topped with scallions and flavored oil, and sweet and sour pork. If you are the adventurous type, try some snake dishes, braised chicken, roast piglet or soups in wax gourds. Guangdong is also famous for its moon cakes. Sichuan Dishes in Sichuan are noted for their varied and heavy flavors. The eight common seasonings used are pepper sauce, pepper
with vinegar, pepper with fish sauce, chili jam with wild
peppercorn, cayenne pepper with wild peppercorn, black pepper with peanut and sesame paste,

peppercorn with sesame oil and chili oil—all hot and tasty. Distinct dishes include pork and chicken cubes with peanuts and chili, and “clubbed chicken”, which is chicken meat pounded and then shredded[4] before the eight seasonings are added—a sweet but hot dish. Others include Luyangstyle crisp chicken and bean curd.
