What is the Chinese meal structure? ›

A typical Chinese's meal usually consists of rice, soup and three to four side dishes. Dishes are made of seasonal vegetables, fresh seafood or bite-size portion of meat or poultry.

Chinese families often eat three meals per day with some snacks in between. Traditional Chinese breakfasts can include either congee, a bāozi (a steamed bun with stuffing: either meat, eggs or rice-noodle), sticky rice, Chinese pancakes with eggs or soybean milk with deep-fried dough sticks.

Always leave food on your plate in China. Finishing your plate when dining at someone's home in China suggests the food wasn't filling enough, and that your host was skimping on the portion size. Always leave behind a little food to show the host that their meal was filling and satisfying.

THE WONDERFUL INGREDIENTS

The ingredients used by Chinese chefs to cook dishes are fantastic. Herbs and spices included in Chinese cuisine make each dish taste like heaven. We also can't forget about all the delicious types of sauces that make the dishes mouth-watering.

Serving Sequence: Tea, Cold Dishes, Meat, Vegetables, Soup, Fruit. Cold dishes like this are served first, with drinks. After you have ordered, tea or a different drink and cold dishes will be served first. Hot dishes are then served one by one.

A basic and common Chinese sentence structure is in three parts: Subject (S) + Verb (V) + Object (O). Example: He plays ball. He, 他 tā (This is the subject.)

A basic place setting consists of a small teacup; a large plate with a small, empty rice bowl; a set of chopsticks, usually on the right of the plate; and a soup spoon.
