Overseas and outside of China, "Chinese food" is limited to dishes that are not really authentic, and sometimes not even similar, to actual dishes eaten in China. 

So, what are some 'actual' authentic Chinese dishes? Recently, a Chinese hotel association made a list of the 10 Most Frequently Ordered dishes in China. If we can't have a taste together, let's at least take a look at the Top 5 dishes.

Later on, we will see the other 5 of the Top 10 Chinese dishes, so stay tuned for more.

Watch the video and learn the names and see the pictures. We'll give you an outline here:

1. 酸菜鱼 (Suāncàiyú) Fish with Sichuan pickles
2. 炒青菜 (Chǎoqīngcài) Stir-fried vegetables
3. 宫保鸡丁 (Gōngbǎojīdīng) Kung Pao chicken
4. 鱼香肉丝 (Yúxiāngròusī) Shredded pork with garlic sauce
5. 水煮鱼 (Shuǐzhǔyú) Fish filets in hot chili oil

Again, check back later on for the second half of this list!
