Ancient Chinese Food: Recipes for Kids

Certain ancient Chinese food also has a particular symbolism linked to it. In Northern China, Chinese Dumplings (Jiaozi) is a main food item prepared during the holiday season. Today, the food palate cannot be complete without Chinese fried rice either! Ancient Chinese food is thus quite interesting and very delectable although today one may see many variations of the same. Here, we shall look at some basic ancient Chinese food recipes for kids, which are crafted to make them a little easier to prepare at home.
