This paper’s contribution to Translation Studies consists in describing Chinese food preparation methods in Spanish, identifying related translation challenges, and proposing recommended translations of dishes representative of different food preparation methods. Based on a corpus of the names of Chinese dishes from real restaurants’ menus (which have been found to contain a low translation quality) an in-depth analysis of the names of dishes and food preparation methods is performed. Additionally, the translation techniques used to translate the names of dishes are observed.
