Huaiyang cuisine (Simplified Chinese: 淮扬菜; Traditional Chinese: 淮揚菜; pinyin: huáiyáng cài) is one of the major traditions of the Cuisine of China. It is derived from the native cooking styles of the region surrounding the lower reaches of the Huai and Yangtze Rivers, and centered upon the cities of Yangzhou and Huai'an in Jiangsu province, hence the name. This style is characterized in that for every dish, the work is emphasized on the major material, and the way the material is cut is very important in how successful the dish is cooked, and consequently, the taste. The cuisine is also well-known for utilizing its famous vinegar, such as those produced in Zhenjiang region.
Huaiyang cuisine is the most popular Jiangsu cuisine, and sometimes it is viewed as the representation of the entire Jiangsu cuisine, and hence, Jiangsu cuisine is sometimes simply called Yang cuisine, short for Huaiyang.
