At the beginning of the 20th century, Shanghai brought together 16 local flavors such as Su, Xi, Ning, hui and so on, which Shanghainese called Su Bang cuisine and Hui Bang cuisine, and for local flavors, it was called Ben Bang cuisine. One of the characteristics of Shanghai's cuisine is that it is thick oil and red sauce, but not every dish is thick oil red sauce, and there are also light and delicious dishes.

The commonly used cooking methods are mainly braised, simmered and sugar, and the taste is salty and sweet, and the oil is not greasy.
Bald lungs, circles, pickled tuk tuk fresh, soybean soup and other ordinary, cheap raw materials are the new force of this gang dish. Later, the gang cuisine continued to absorb the advantages of foreign dishes, some ben bang restaurants created some housekeeping dishes, and a number of ben gang chefs appeared, which greatly improved the taste of the ben bang cuisine. Moreover, due to the influence of the world's diet trend towards low sugar, low fat and low sodium, the amount of vegetable oil and sugar in this gang has been significantly reduced to meet the dietary tastes of modern people.
Among the stir-fry dishes, the specialties in the meat dish include ringing oil eel paste, oil-fried river prawns, oil sauce hair crab, pot roasted river eel, braised circle, bergamot belly, braised back fish, yellow braised chestnut chicken, etc., which truly reflect the characteristics of the rich oil red sauce of the gang dish.
