ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE

Answer 1

Depends on where you live there and what is available.

They have some type of rice dish with stewed or cooked veggies.

Some areas have this type of mush that is make from a corn type millet

Fish is used a little near the ocean and rivers.

Today, however, for all we know they are eating from the McDonald's $1 menu

The China today in Bejing and Canton and Shangaia is NOT the same China of 1980 or 1990.

Then there is also PORTION SIZE. That's a big factor.

It's not so much as what you are eating it's the size of it.

YOu can probably approximate it with a small portion of Yoshinoya bowl if you get just a lttiel rice and a little cabbage thrown on top Maybe 1 piece of chicken. No sauce

That might come close

Traidtional Chow Mein you find at a restaraunt, except with a tiny bowl of steamed rice and just a small ladel of the veggie soup over the mix. Get one with only a little meat.

That WAS a traditional meal for ages. BUt now with industry and prosperity, like I said maybe they are eating Colonel Sanders!

Rich people eat exotic foods like Octopus.

As for the flavoers it's whats available locally. Red pepper corns, onion,etc.

The use a lot of stuff that resembles cabbage and something callked a Leek that resembles a potato as a part of the veggies.

Answer 2

OK, this is a sample diet of a Hong Kong person:

Breakfast: Congee (rice porridge) and Fried Breadsticks
Lunch: Noodles with boiled dumplings (shrimp, pork & cabbage filling)
Dinner: Rice, shared dishes of stir-fried vegetables, some form of meat. The chinese have soup AFTER the meal to cleanse the palate.
Snacks: well, anything from cakes to sweets, to peanuts to fruit. (in the modern day, I'd say all western snacks are fair game)

Answer 4

Well I can't speak for all Chinese people, I will just speak for my household!

Although more than 75% of our meals are International/North American cuisine, i'm assuming you only want to know the Chinese foods that we include in our diet. I've listed some of them below.

Breakfast Foods:
Steamed Rice (fan)
Chinese buns
Instant noodles
Rice porridge (juk)
'Dim Sum' (look it up!)

Lunch Foods:
Steamed Rice
Chinese Sausage
Steamed ground meat
Salted Fish
Green leafy vegetables (choi)

Dinner Foods:
Steamed Rice
Green leafy vegetables (choi)
Salted Fish
Duck
BBQ Pork
Fried meat, tofu, mushrooms & vegetables
Melon soup
Seaweed Soup
Chow Mein
Spring Rolls
Egg Rolls
Beef & Green onion Lo Mein
'Hot Pot'/Fondue (fish balls, tofu, seafood, rice noodle, watercress, bok choi, chicken, beef..)
Beef brisket, carrot and radish stew

Snacks: Rice buns with red bean paste inside, rice buns with sweet egg and almond paste inside, asian pear, longan or lychee fruit, Chinese pork buns, various buns...

*Black tea, green tea, jasmine tea, or any type of Chinese tea is mandatory for each meal especially the oily ones!

*A small bowl of soup is eaten after every rice meal.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Eeek... you're asking to cover a huge range of subcultures with that question, plus a huge range of incomes...

As well as city versus rural, coastal versus interior...

If you can provide a bit more detail that would be helpful.

I can tell you that the staple in much of china is still rice, as it is world wide. I know that sounds like a stereotype, but its quite true.

This web site give a pretty good idea of the typical diet...

Please note this comes with a caveat - many of these links take a rather American view on Chinese cuisine.

China has some many ethnic groups and such varied terrain...

But these should give you some suggestions...

Good luck,

breakfast are porridge and noodle
lunch and dinner will be rice with dishes like soup, chicken, fish, vegetables, mutton and pork.
