The fact   The way to eat food is also a very important factor that can influence the nutritional value of food. Eating with chopsticks, using multiple dishes, and sharing with people allows you to eat more slowly, to chew the food longer and in the end causes a better digestion and assimilation of nutrients, without overloading the digestive system. Bun Cha is definitely one of those dishes that you share and eat family style. In Bun Cha, the meat is separated from the noodles. In fact, the meat is actually sitting in the dipping sauce. One way to enjoy this dish and also the most Hanoian is to use chopsticks to pick up some noodles, dunk them into the sauce and then eat with meatballs and herbs. Another way is to add the noodles, lettuce and herbs to a serving bowl, spoon over the dipping sauce with meatballs into the bowl, and then eat. Regardless of the way you choose to eat it, one bite will light up your taste buds with many flavours, aromas and textures.  Source: Bun Cha (Grille

 1. Chinese Staple Food: Noodle Vs. Rice Northern people like to eat noodles and regard it as the main food, because the dry northern climate is suitable for the growth of wheat. There are all kinds of noodles in the north such as Hand-pulled Noodles, Minced Noodles, and Noodles with Soybean Paste. Southerners are more likely to eat rice as their staple food. In the south, the climate is hot and rainy, and paddy fields are the main cultivated land, so rice is abundant. Southerners also eat noodles, but most of them are rice noodles. Nowadays, generally both noodles and rice are offered in the restaurants in China. Source: Author of TravelChinaGuide. 2019. 15 Interesting Chinese food facts you may not know.

In our opinion, Chinese cuisine has evolved a lot more than western countries in, especially spices. They mix and match them until they get the right tastes.
