Jiangsu Recipes

Jiangsu cuisine, or Su cuisine, originates from the prosperous eastern province surrounding the Yangtze River Delta and is celebrated for its refined, elegant presentation and gentle sweetness. Braising in soy sauce, stewing, and meticulous knife skills define the cooking style, producing dishes like Nanjing salted duck, lion's head meatballs, and squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. The cuisine emphasizes seasonal ingredients and careful control of heat and timing to preserve natural textures.
