The Chinese dish recipe of major ingredients and accessory ingredients, which is a part of Chinese culinary art, usually consists of one to three major ingredients and several accessory ingredients. For example, the dish “fried sliced cabbage” uses cabbage as a major ingredient, and uses chili, garlic and so on as accessory ingredients. The dish “Sliced Meat with Dry Tofu and Green Pepper” uses shredded green pepper, shredded meat, and dry tofu as the major ingredients, and uses garlic and red pepper as accessory ingredients. The major ingredients and accessory ingredients of a Chinese dish are respectively placed in respective compartments of one package, depending on whether these major ingredients and accessory ingredients can be put into the wok at the same time. The major ingredients and accessory ingredients which can be put into the wok at the same time may be stocked in one compartment. If the major ingredients and accessory ingredients of a certain Chinese dish are placed in a package with four standard compartments, it means the major ingredients and accessory ingredients can be put into the wok in four groups at four different stages at most, thus it has 24 feeding sequence combinations at most (abcd, abdc, acbd, acdb, adbc, adcb, bacd, badc, bdac, bdca, bcad, bcda, cabd, cadb, cbad, cbda, cdab, cdba, dabc, dacb, dbac, dbca, dcab, dcba). Generally, it is enough to meet the requirement of Chinese culinary art for most dishes. Moreover, a standard package with more compartments, such as six compartments or eight compartments, may meet the requirement of more complicated cooking technique and meet the feeding requirement of high grade commercial automated cooking machines.
The key point for realizing industrialization of the automated Chinese dish cooking machines is that, the major ingredients and accessory ingredients of a certain Chinese dish are selected according to various cooking requirements, stocked in a standard package and particularly stocked respectively in individual compartments of one package. Thus, a complete industrial chain, including the specialized production of agricultural products in the upstream, pre-treating (cleaning and cutting etc.) on the spot, packaging at the consumption place, delivery, and consumption of the automated cooking machine, can thus be established. It brings a new life style, which is different from the traditional style buying primary agricultural products in markets and producing large quantity of living rubbish. On the other hand, due to the use of standard package, the production of the agricultural products may realize intensification, large-scale, standardized and industrialization production, which provides a back tracking mechanism for food safety guarantee. In addition, Internet of Things technology, such as two-dimension codes, IC card, RFID and so on, may be applied to the standard package of major ingredients and accessory ingredients and preset in the package, so as to facilitate the identification of recommended recipe program and other agricultural products information for general automated cooking machines.
