中文：
中餐，即指中国风味的餐食菜肴。
其中有粤菜、川菜、鲁菜、淮扬菜、浙菜、闽菜、湘菜、徽菜“八大菜系”。除”八大菜系“外还有一些在中国较有影响的菜系，如：东北菜、冀菜、豫菜、鄂菜、本帮菜、客家菜、赣菜、京菜、清真菜等菜系。
中餐的餐具主要有杯、盘、碗、碟、筷、匙六种。在正式的宴会上，水杯放在菜盘左上方，酒杯放在右上方。筷子与汤匙可放在专用的座子上，或放在纸套中。公用的筷子和汤匙最好放在专用的座子上。
中餐上菜的顺序一般是：先上冷盘，后上热菜，最后上甜食和水果。用餐前，服务员为每人送上的第一道湿毛巾是擦手用的，最好不要用它去擦脸。在上虾、蟹、鸡等菜肴前，服务员会送上一只小小水盂，其中漂着片柠檬片或玫瑰花瓣，它不是饮料，而是洗手用的。洗手时，可两手轮流蘸湿指头，轻轻涮洗，然后用小毛巾擦干。
扩展资料
中式菜肴大多数不会只有一种材料，通常有其他伴菜或配料衬托主菜，以做出色香味俱全的菜肴，例如烹煮猪肉，会以爽脆的绿色蔬菜做伴菜，如芹菜或青椒，衬托粉红色、柔的猪肉。一顿饭不会只有一款菜肴，通常同时端上两款、甚至四款菜肴，且每款菜肴都要色香味俱全，端上次序则以菜肴的搭配为大前题，通常同类的菜肴会同时端上，不会前后分别端上，总之整顿饭都要讲求协调的搭配。
中餐的饮宴礼仪号称始于周公，千百年的演进，当然不会再有“孟光接了梁鸿案”那样的日子，但也还是终于形成今天大家普遍接受的一套饮食进餐礼仪，是古代饮食礼制的继承和发展。中餐饮食礼仪因宴席的性质，目的而不同；不同的地区，也是千差万别。
In the 19th century, Chinese restaurateurs developed American Chinese cuisine when they modified their food for Caucasian American tastes[citation needed]. First catering to railroad workers, restaurants were established in towns where Chinese food was completely unknown. These restaurant workers adapted to using local ingredients and catered to their customers' tastes. Dishes on the menu were often given numbers, and often a roll and butter was offered on the side.
In the process, chefs would invent numerous dishes such as chop suey and General Tso's Chicken. As a result, they developed a style of Chinese food not found in China. Restaurants (along with Chinese laundries which have since nearly vanished) provided an ethnic niche for small businesses at a time when Chinese were excluded from most jobs in the wage economy by racial discrimination or lack of language fluency.
For most of those who run such restaurants, wages tend to be low, and hours long[citation needed] as much of the labor is provided by immigrants or family members, but part of the attraction of Chinese restaurants is the quality and low cost of the food. In modern times, some Asian professionals invest their savings into running restaurants.

湖南都沫茄子的做法
Ground meat in eggplant with spicy Hunan sauce
Yield: 2 Servings
7 ounce Long eggplant; approximate
4 ounce Ground pork; optional
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Cold water
1 teaspoon Sugar; or less
½ teaspoon Sesame oil; or to taste
Pepper; freshly ground
1 teaspoon Cornstarch; (1 to 1-1/2)
½ cup Cold water
1 Egg; or equivalent
¾ can Flour; sifted
Oil; for frying
4 tablespoon Spicy Hunan sauce; or
Spicy ketchup; see recipe
STUFFING BATTER [INTRO -- Ground beef, chicken, or pork may be used in this recipe. We like to use assorted mushrooms, minced with a little cilantro.]
1. Make diagonal cut on eggplant; do not cut through. Make a second diagonal cut through eggplant to make a pocket. Make 16 pocketed pieces.
2. Mix the meat with the stuffing ingredients (soy thru cornstarch). Divide this into 16 portions.
3. Open and fill each eggplant pocket.
4. Mix 1/2 cup of cold water with the egg (or egg substitute). Add 3/4 cup sifted flour (more or less) to make a batter.
5. Heat oil for deep frying. Coat the eggplant pieces with batter; fry over medium heat until golden brown and meat is cooked (about 4 minutes.)
6. Remove to drain on toweling. Serve with sauce as appetizer or side dish.
Cook‘s TIP: Cut the long eggplant on the bias into 16 even pieces. Then cut each piece so that there is a slit; when pinched can be opened into a pocket. That‘s where you place stuffing.
