« English:
Shanghai cuisine, also known as Hu cuisine, is characterized by its delicate and subtly sweet flavors, often enhanced with the use of sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar. Seafood plays a significant role, given Shanghai's coastal location, with dishes such as braised shrimp in soy sauce and steamed fish being popular. A staple of Shanghai cuisine is xiao long bao, soup-filled dumplings that burst with hot broth when bitten into. Another local specialty is sheng jian bao, a pan-fried pork bun with a crispy bottom and a juicy interior. The cuisine is known for its emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients and the balance between sweet and savory flavors.
Chinese (Simplified):
上海菜,也叫沪菜,以其细腻和微甜的口味为特点,常常使用糖、酱油和醋来增味。由于上海临海,海鲜在上海菜中占据了重要地位,像是红烧虾和清蒸鱼等菜肴非常受欢迎。上海的代表性小吃是“小笼包”,这是一种汤汁丰富的蒸饺,咬开时汤汁会喷出。另一个地方特色是“生煎包”,这是一种底部酥脆、内部多汁的煎包。上海菜注重食材的新鲜和高品质,讲究甜咸平衡的味道。»
