Ingredients for Chinese Corn Soup

Chinese cuisine has a rich and storied tradition that is enjoyed throughout the world. In China, a meal typically consists of a starch such as noodles or rice, considered the main dish, and a vegetable or meat, considered the sides. This is contrasted with the culinary ideology of northern Europe and the United States in which the meat is usually considered the main portion of the meal. Many Chinese are also vegetarians, but not more so than in the west, and the use of chopsticks is a cultural vestige that evolved from the idea that using metal utensils is barbaric since such implements are also used as weapons.
