When someone speaks of gourmet dining, perhaps the first thing that will come to mind is an Italian dish like Carne Pizzaiola, perhaps French like Boeuf Bourguignon, or maybe even Japanese Sea Bream Sashimi. But no one thinks of Chop Suey, Orange Beef, or egg rolls. There is a very good reason for this: none of those dishes are authentic, traditional Chinese cooking.
NTD Television's Fifth Annual International Chinese Culinary Competition is out to change perception that by bringing together the top Chinese chefs from around the world and have them demonstrate the unparalleled cooking techniques, knife skills, and imagination inherent in traditional Chinese cuisine.
Over the course of two days,the competition will showcase the five major styles of Chinese cuisine: Sichuan(Szechuan), Shandong, Cantonese, Huaiyang, and Northeastern. Prizes will be awarded to each of the 5 cuisine winners including a $10,000 gold award, $3,000 silver award, and a $1,000 bronze award.
