Jiangsu Cuisine, also known as Su cai, originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (386-589). It is a special cuisine in Jiangsu Province and now, because of its sweet flavor, it is enjoyed by people around the country. Coming from some areas of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the cuisine of Jiangsu has a wide inclusion of raw ingredients: fish as well as vegetables of all kinds. The most popular and valuable fish and crustaceons are sturgeon, saury, whitebait from Tai Lake, and fresh water crabs. Using products from the surrounding waters, Su cai is known for its light and fresh flavor.
