Talk:Hunan cuisine

chao ma mian

When I looked up 炒碼麵 (chao ma mian) in Google, I found many pages that say it is a famous Hunan dish. However, I was told by more than one Mandarin Chinese restaurants that "Chao ma mian" is a Korean dish. I even saw a sign in a Chinese restaurant which wrote two Korean Hangul characters (짬뽕) next to the Chinese menu. I assume there are two dishes with the same name. Can someone who know the history of this dish comment on where it comes from? Thank in advance. Kowloonese 20:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I cross-posted this question on Talk:Korean cuisine. I believe the Korean version is the same as 山東炒碼麵 but it is different from the Hunan dish. Kowloonese 18:50, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

is this right?

"Another characteristic distinguishing Hunan cuisine from Sichuan cuisine is that, in general, Hunan cuisine uses smoked and cured goods in its dishes much more frequently."

it says first that the Sichuan cousine uses more cured and smoked goods. it also says on the SIichuan cousine page that they use presreved food frequently, what is right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.229.131.124 (talk) 10:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

"Lover's Hot Pot"

Is this unique to Hunan, or something general to all Chinese cuisine? The Jade Knight (talk) 05:22, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Are you saying Yuanyang Hot Pot? It is originated from Sichuan(inc. Chongqing).--刻意(Kèyì) 16:45, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

General Tso's Chicken - Is it Hunanese?

The table of Hunan Cuisine on this page has General Tso's Chicken listed. However, according to the Wikipedia page for General Tso's Chicken, it is actually not Hunanese at all. WU00110154 (talk) 07:53, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

General Tso's chicken was a recipe by a Hunanese chef, named for a General from the Hunan province. It is an Americanized recipe by Peng Chang-kuei. The story can be read here: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bakeitwithlove (talk • contribs) 05:31, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
