Canadian Chinese Cuisine

Canadian Chinese cuisine is a popular style of cooking exclusive to take-out and dine-in eateries found across Canada. It was the first form of commercially available Chinese food in Canada. This cooking style was invented by early Cantonese immigrants who adapted traditional Chinese recipes to Western tastes and the available ingredients. This usually required altering cooking times, ingredients, and preparation methods so that the dishes were more agreeable to the Canadian palate. This cuisine developed alongside a similar version in the United States, although it is widely seen as more authentic to traditional Chinese cuisine, perhaps due to the multicultural nature of Canada. In fact, some have said that Toronto, Ontario is where the most authentic Chinese food outside of China can be found.
