Chinese food culture is rich and each dish has its own interesting story. Some dishes were the emperors’ favorites. For example, Yangrou Paomo from Shaanxi got famous because of Emperor Zhao Kuangyin. When he was poor and hungry in Chang’an, a kind cook gave him some hot mutton soup. Zhao broke his hard steamed bun into small pieces, added them to the soup and ate it all. He loved it! Later, when he became an emperor, Zhao came back to enjoy it again and made the dish popular.
People also named some dishes after the ones who created them. Mapo tofu is a good example. A long time ago, a woman in Sichuan cooked delicious tofu, making it hot and tender (嫩的). People loved her tofu. Because she had freckles (雀斑) on her face, they called her Mapo. Her tofu became famous as Mapo tofu. Now people worldwide love it.
