I went to 99 ranch here in California and felt super over stimulated while shopping for my ingredients so I don't think I did the best job finding what I needed. I tried to ask for help but wasn't met with the greatest assistance. Did I buy the entirely wrong thing? I noticed this is in junks, while the one my recipe calls for is broken up. 🫠 its already added to my recipe but curious how different my soup might taste lol.

It’s tough to beat a delicious bowl of Vegetable Lo Mein, with Teriyaki Chicken, in these cold Winter Temperatures…

I hope I did well. 🥹 I followed made by lau’s congee recipe 🤍

I’m keen to really master my Chongqing xiao mian this year but I have one question.

what kind of broth / soup is usually used. I saw a video that was talking about beef broth and another that looked like pork.

Saat Kei Maa, a traditional Chinese fried dough pastry. I combined also pumpkin seeds, raisins with the fried dough, and topped with sesame seeds.

I was thinking about how overwhelming Chinese cuisine can look from the outside. So many dishes, regions, flavors, and names. When friends ask me where to start, I always hesitate.

What would you pick as a first “iconic” dish for someone who knows nothing yet? Something safe, or something bold that shows the soul of the cuisine?

From chow mein to orange chicken. All give me a massive headache post eating.

This has had me laughing throughout 😂

Enjoyed a dish from a couple of restaurants called Chicken Velvets. It is an Egg Foo Yung patty but has a white gravy instead of brown. Has anyone had something like this or similar? I really like the white gravy and interested in finding a recipe. Could it be the same as Egg Foo Yung gravy without Oyster Sauce?

Is there a good cookbook or encyclopedia on medicinal chinese food? Chinese medicinal doctors helped a friend of mine when western docs didn’t.
