I'm Clarissa and I'm taking you on a
journey through China to try authentic
Chinese food region by region
[Music]
first where exactly is youngsil it's a
province in the southeastern part of
China
seung-hye is just outside of youngsil
and is heavily influenced by its cuisine
known as a land of fish and rice this
region is anchored by waterways so you
can expect lots of freshwater fish and
crustaceans these two lakes in
particular are famous for their seafood
they're also breeding grounds for
aquatic vegetables like lotus root and
water chestnut but what really sets this
region's food apart is spectacular night
work and it's not just poultry that's
processed with fancy knife skills
there's also finely sliced tofu and this
fish carved into the shape of a squirrel
we know dung so food looks good but what
about the flavor profiles compared to
other regions in China the food tends to
be rather sweet this sauce is used to
make dishes like bread braised pork and
the red braised duck even soup dumplings
have a hint of sugar soup dumplings are
arguably this region's most famous
export their delicate pockets of pork
and soups wrapped into a thin wheat skin
and they come in different sizes
depending on where they're from this
version from youngsil is so big that it
requires a straw so why is everything so
sweet
[Music]
you can expect to find lots of desserts
in this part of China like onion sweet
rice balls in soup garnished with
osmanthus flowers and sticky sweet rice
cakes
