Re: Your Favorite Foods...What you like to eat
Tomato and eggs? The dish is easy but barely Chinese...... I've always thought the first dish people learn is fried rice, not always the real thing, but literally fried rice of some sort... We even had a song about it back in kindergarten when I was in HK, just rice, eggs, and soy sauce, but fried rice nevertheless.
Funny thing is, we Cantonese had always thought Northern cuisine was the oily one. But I can't recall where we would put meat in dessert.
Seems weird to add sugar in marinating but when you think about it, adding sugar helps wake up your tongue in contrast to all the salts... otherwise your tongue is just gonna die asking for more salt- the only taste you can taste.... at least that's how I think of it. My mom always marinates her chicken with garlic, ginger, soy, and sugar.
Well, I hope you aren't dipping everything is soy sauce..... that'd piss any Asian off. =P
Well, soy sauce isn't the only sauce around.
yea, the way bladerunner eats it is a little bitter for me, but in a stir fry with canned dace fish or eggs and beef is muy bueno!!
Fried wonton with Sweet and Sour? Dude, I know you are ABC but...... no.
That's way way Western. But easy "dish" to learn I guess... Not sure how you can feed yourself with those and not killing yourself with the fryer meanwhile....
Somehow I can never really find a good recipe for vinegar, and I don't like dipping it either. Actually, I think it's because I can't get my hands on pure vinegar. Cantonese vinegar tend to have a little salt in them.... Does Shanxi produce a carbonated vinegar? where can I buy it? (Had some in Guangzhou and it's the easiest way to get your kid off the soda.)
Korean food is great but when it comes to Kimchi, the ones sold in stores usually smells really bad and is too sour for my liking.
You mean 腐乳 in your sauce?? Didn't know they use it up North.
PS. Tomatoes and eggs is one of the dishes that Cantonese would add sugar to because the tomatoes get so sour.

I want to say winter melon but it seems not what you mean.
More chicken feet for me! But I hope you said this when you were outside Chinatown.... I don't know about other cities, but in San Francisco, the places to go are all outside the city.

蕃茄 = Cantonese (Western Eggplant), 西紅柿 is Mandarin, correct me if I am wrong.
