Anhui cuisine is one of the Eight Culinary Traditions of China. It is derived from the native cooking styles of the Huangshan Mountains region in China and similar to Jiangsu cuisine. Anhui Cuisine, short for Hui cai (also known as Wan cai), is the label given to local dishes in Anhui Province. As early as Tang Dynasty (618-907), Anhui people brought Hui cai to other parts of China, especially Shanghai. It is the first cuisine from other places in Shanghai. Hui cai is well known by cooking delicacies of every kind and it is a perfect combination of the five flavors.

Anhui cuisine is known for its use of wild game and herbs, both land and sea, and comparatively unelaborate methods of preparation. Chefs pay more attention to temperature in their cooking and are good at braising and stewing. In contrast, fry and stir-fry methods are much less frequently used in Anhui cuisine, while the method of cooking utilizes oil.
