Editing American Chinese cuisine (section)

===New York City===
The [[New York metropolitan area]] is home to the largest Chinese population outside of Asia,<ref name="NYCLargestChinesePopulation">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/23/nyregion/in-new-york-indictment-of-officer-peter-liang-divides-chinese-americans.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220101/https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/23/nyregion/in-new-york-indictment-of-officer-peter-liang-divides-chinese-americans.html |archive-date=January 1, 2022 |url-access=limited|title=Indictment of New York Officer Divides Chinese-Americans|first=Vivian|last=Yee|newspaper=The New York Times|date=February 22, 2015|access-date=February 23, 2015}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref name="queensbuzz">{{cite web|url=http://www.queensbuzz.com/flushing-neighborhood-corona-neighborhood-cms-302|title=Chinese New Year 2012 in Flushing|publisher=QueensBuzz.com|date=January 25, 2012|access-date=February 23, 2015}}</ref> which also constitutes the largest metropolitan [[Asian Americans in New York City|Asian-American]] group in the United States and the largest Asian-national metropolitan [[diaspora]] in the [[Western Hemisphere]]. The [[Chinese in New York City|Chinese-American]] population of the New York City metropolitan area was an estimated 893,697 as of 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/ACS/17_1YR/S0201/330M400US408/popgroup~016|title=Selected Population Profile in the United States 2017 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates New York-Newark, NY-NJ-CT-PA CSA Chinese alone|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=January 27, 2019|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200214002005/https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/ACS/17_1YR/S0201/330M400US408/popgroup~016|archive-date=February 14, 2020|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Given the New York metropolitan area's continuing status as by far the leading gateway for Chinese immigrants to the United States, all popular styles of every Chinese regional cuisine have commensurately become ubiquitously accessible in [[Chinese in New York City|New York City]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/30/dining/30flushing.html|title=Let the Meals Begin: Finding Beijing in Flushing|first=Julia|last=Moskin|work=The New York Times|date=July 30, 2008 |access-date=November 26, 2017}}</ref> including [[Hakka cuisine|Hakka]], [[Taiwanese cuisine|Taiwanese]], [[Shanghai cuisine|Shanghainese]], [[Hunan cuisine|Hunanese]], [[Szechuan cuisine|Szechuan]], [[Cantonese cuisine|Cantonese]], [[Fujianese cuisine|Fujianese]], [[Xinjiang cuisine|Xinjiang]], [[Zhejiang cuisine|Zhejiang]], and [[Korean Chinese cuisine]].

====Kosher preparation====
{{Main|Jewish American Chinese restaurant patronage}}
[[Kosher]] preparation of Chinese food is also widely available in New York City, given the metropolitan area's large [[Jews in New York City|Jewish]] and particularly [[Orthodox Jewish]] populations.

The perception that American Jews eat at Chinese restaurants on [[Christmas Day]] is documented in media.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/12/why-american-jews-eat-chinese-food-on-christmas/384011/ |title=Why Do American Jews Eat Chinese Food on Christmas? — The Atlantic |publisher=Theatlantic.com |date=December 23, 2014 |access-date=April 16, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-features/1.633512 |title='Tis the season: Why do Jews eat Chinese food on Christmas? - Jewish World Features - Israel News |newspaper=Haaretz |date=December 24, 2014 |access-date=April 16, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/isaac-zablocki/the-jewish-christmas-trad_b_6272972.html |title=Movies and Chinese Food: The Jewish Christmas Tradition &#124; Isaac Zablocki |publisher=Huffingtonpost.com |date=December 6, 2017 |access-date=April 16, 2018}}</ref> The tradition may have arisen from the lack of other open restaurants on Christmas Day, the close proximity of Jewish and Chinese immigrants in New York City, and the absence of [[Milk and meat in Jewish law|dairy foods combined with meat]].

Kosher Chinese food is usually prepared in New York City, as well as in other large cities with Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods, under strict [[rabbi]]nical supervision as a prerequisite for Kosher certification.
