Cooking Oil in China – Different Oils For Different Purposes

Wondering about the best cooking oil recipes in China? Similar to any other part of the world, the Chinese use different kinds of cooking oil almost in all their dishes. Examples of cooking oils used by the Chinese include peanut oil, vegetable oil, and even soybean oil. All these oils are known for high smoke point. Whenever they wish to get a pleasant nutty flavor in their dishes, the Chinese use peanut oil to prepare cooking oil home recipes. Even, they use this oil when they use deep-frying or stir-frying of any dish. For dishes that need a neutral flavor, the Chinese use canola oil as the cooking oil.

Cooking oil recipes, as you know, are common. When we talk about Chinese cooking oil recipes, we often refer to dishes that are deep-fried in cooking oils. Based on the type of oil you use, you will have to pre-heat the oil in a medium or high flame to use it for cooking any dish. Also, it is recommended by experts not to use the oil that is left after deep frying any dish. They give this recommendation because this oil will be rich in unhealthy fatty acids. So, it is better to discard this oil or you can use it for lubricating something other than for cooking.
