Under the guidance of the JFPC team, the Americans tried their hands at selecting materials and ingredients, learning knife techniques, moderately seasoning a dish, and attempting to retain the original flavor, freshness and texture of the food.
Peony Fish – a dish in which freshwater fish is sliced, deboned, arranged in the shape of a peony flower and seasoned with stewed fish soup – was one of many dishes to have delighted the taste buds of both Chinese and US participants.
The two schools also launched a joint training center specializing in the Chinese culinary arts, taking their existing 2016 cooperation agreement to new heights and encouraging more frequent exchanges between Chinese and US students and teachers.
