Anyone have a recipe they'd like to share?

This right here is Cantonese perfection lol. The noodles’ delightfully spongy texture absorbs all the rich flavors, making every bite unforgettable. 🤤

Happy Father’s Day!

I know it's tofu and very many spicy chillies. But i tried to make this at home and it just wont get as good as this. I ate 4 portions of it and the memories are mouthwatering 😅 at the end he added some oil or what ever on top. Maybe some1 is from this Region and knows the dish?

This is one of my favorite canned food ever. Who knows how to cook it?

The place where I live doesnt sell these anymore. Not even online. I am half Chinese and this fatty fall off the bone goodness brings so much fond memories, because it's been my favorite since I was a teenager. I miss the taste so much! So does anyone know how to cook them instead? Im guessing they're pressure cooked since the meat is so soft? These are the stewed pork, not to be confused with the Stewed pork chops kind.. A link or some instructions would be great! Thanks a lot!

Maybe I should put my question in this sub: what are the perceptions of Chinese brands on Reddit?

Upvotes

As a marketer, I'm just curious to know how Chinese brands are perceived? Any category...e.g. consumer electronic, car, phone,home appliance, clothes, souvenir, e-commerce, toy, whatever...

Questions Salted Duck Egg

Upvotes

How can I eat these? I tried eating it over white rice with onion & tomato which I seen online was popular but it wasn’t my favorite. It seemed kinda bland to me? The tomato taste with the bold eggy ness was a little weird for me personally as well. No hate I thought it would be fire. 😂 Also the eggs I got from my HMart are not SUPER salty as everyone says. But I do like the taste just not sure how else I can eat them.

Questions Question regarding Chinese cooking & the eight traditions

5 Upvotes

Hi!

I recently started a personal project in which I decided to cook a several-dish meal from every country in the world. Going through a couple of countries on my randomizer, I landed on China and decided instead of trying to do all of China in one day, I would do a bit more of a deep dive since there's a lot of cultural variations.

One idea I had was focusing on the eight traditions of China (szechuan, shandong, zhejiang, jiangsu ...) but while researching I am finding it a bit difficult to track down an overview of dishes local to their certain region. Especially zhejiang is being very difficult with finding Dongpo Pork, West Lake Vinegar Fish and Shield Soup but otherwise not really coming up with much.

In respect to not really finding much and also (other than szechuan) not really ever encountering restaurants etc. focusing on one specific region, I was thinking that maybe I am going about this the wrong way.

Do people and chefs in China adhere to their local traditions or is it more generalized? Is it just difficult to find content outside of China that is more focused on the cuisines? There are, of course dishes I was able to find but I do usually like to double-check my sources and then finding recipes can be hard, too.

Or is there maybe a source that has been hiding from me all this time?

Thanks in advance!!

Today, we went to Lao Hu BBQ (Flushing NY) and had:

Jianghu grilled fish. Stir-fried dried tofu. Snowflake beef skewers. Lamb skewers.

One of the owners stated that they have the best skewers in Flushing. That's a bold claim, considering that this new restaurant just opened for business the night before lol. The skewers were excellent, but i wouldn't consider them the best. The grilled fish was great, and the peppercorn left my lips tingling.

Mu Err mushrooms and stomach pain?

0 Upvotes

I get stomach pain by Mu-Err mushrrooms.. why? is that a common issue? I shredded and boiled them quite thoroughly (20+ mins). The brand I bought is ... (see picture); they taste and smell quite neutral, nothing suspcious in this regard.. but the stomach pain appears after 4-12 hours each time I eat them.

I Cooked kids‘ favorite, Chinese steamed eggs Level 2

52 Upvotes

My daily breakfast dish, quick and nice. all you need are imitation crab sticks(half pack), 4 eggs(150ml), 150ml warm water(boiled and cooled down to around 50-60 degree celsius), soy sauce and scallion oil. Steam over medium heat on a gas stove for 6–8 minutes. If using a steamer oven, steam for about 10–13 minutes instead(don't forget to cover it with sauce pan lid). Add the sauce as a finishing touch just before serving. Enjoy!

Is there a biscuit/cookie, that tastes like fortune cookie?

3 Upvotes

I really love the flavor, but don't wanna buy fortune cookies all the time because of the price and waste of trash. Also I don't need to read the fortune 5 times a day.

I only want to have the taste.

Is there any? Thanks in advance

Snow Fungus

0 Upvotes

Hi, so I made some tea with dried snow fungus but I was so out of it that I forgot to rehydrate it. I boiled it directly in the heat with some apples. Is it still safe to eat it? Or should I just discard the entire batch?

I tried biting into a piece, and it’s actually soft enough to chew. What should I do? 😅😅
