Question

Many people in America love Chinese food. However, their “Chinese food” is very different from ours. America is a melting pot（熔爐）. People from around the world join together there. Many of them bring their traditions with them.

Chinese food arrived in America in the 1850s. At that time, many Chinese people who went to live in the US couldn't find a job. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over the years, Chinese food has become more and more popular. However, many changes have been made according to American people's taste.

One of the changes is about the cooking methods. In America, many “Chinese dishes” are cooked through frying（油炸）. In China, few dishes are cooked in this way. Stewing（燉）, steaming and boiling（煮）are more common.

Another big change lies in the ingredients（原材料）. Cooks in America often use onions and tomatoes in “Chinese food”. In China, these ingredients are used much less often.

In addition, traditional Chinese food uses more types of meat. Chinese people eat duck blood, chicken feet, pig ears and even snakes. Most American people wouldn't choose to eat these things.

Some popular "Chinese dishes" in America can't be found in China at all. For example, the Fortune（幸運(yùn)）Cookie is an American invention. It is a sweet, crisp（脆的）cookie which contains a piece of paper with some lucky words on it. Fortune cookies are often served in Chinese restaurants, but no one has ever seen it in China.
