Easy Chinese is a cooking show hosted by British Chinese chef, Ching-He Huang, that takes viewers on a culinary journey through the flavors and ingredients of China. The show first aired in 2011 on the Cooking Channel and quickly became a popular source of simple, traditional recipes that can be easily replicated at home.

The show features Huang preparing various dishes from different regions of China, showcasing a range of cooking techniques and ingredients that may be unfamiliar to a Western audience. Throughout each episode, Huang provides useful tips on how to prepare the dishes, as well as information about the cultural significance of the ingredients and the history of the cuisine.

One of the key strengths of Easy Chinese is Huang's relatable and engaging hosting style. She is clearly passionate about Chinese cuisine and this enthusiasm is infectious. Her friendly demeanor and clear explanation make the show accessible to all viewers, regardless of their cooking experience. This also makes the show an excellent resource for people who are curious about Chinese cuisine but may feel intimidated by its complexity.

Another key aspect of the show is the beautiful scenery and locations in which it is filmed. Huang often takes viewers to outdoor markets and other locations to showcase the ingredients and food culture of China. This not only makes for an interesting visual experience but also enhances the educational aspect of the show.

The dishes featured on Easy Chinese range from quick and easy stir-fries to more complex dishes like Peking duck. However, regardless of the complexity of the dish, Huang always emphasizes the importance of using fresh ingredients and simple techniques to bring out the flavors of the dish. This approach makes the show accessible to viewers who are not confident in their cooking abilities, as well as those who are more experienced in the kitchen.

Despite its focus on traditional Chinese cuisine, Easy Chinese also incorporates elements of modern cuisine and fusion cooking. Huang often integrates ingredients from other cuisines into her dishes, such as Italian pasta or Spanish sausage. This adds a unique twist to traditional Chinese recipes while still staying true to their original flavors and ingredients.

Overall, Easy Chinese is an engaging and informative cooking show that provides viewers with a charming introduction to the flavors and ingredients of Chinese cuisine.
