Zhejiang Recipes

Zhejiang cuisine, from the eastern coastal province home to Hangzhou, is known for its fresh, delicate flavors and emphasis on seasonal ingredients. The cooking style avoids heavy seasoning, instead using quick stir-frying, steaming, and braising to let the natural quality of ingredients shine. Famous dishes include Dongpo pork, West Lake fish in vinegar sauce, and longjing shrimp cooked with the region's celebrated dragon well tea leaves.
