Would anyone really eat all these peppers

Homemade.

My friend in a choir gave these to me since she knew I had a taste for Chinese food. I have never had this type of mooncake before (I had a sweet one in second grade).

The flavor surprised me! It's very mild and nutty with a dash of sweet, and once you get to the yolk there's a saltiness that mingles with the lotus paste so well! Yum! and happy Mid Autumn Festival!

leveled up: now i can wrap in crescent shape. also solved the moist problem: a quick soak the frozen dumpling in water before steaming.

Typical menu you can see in a Chinese fastfood. Are you familiar with this restaurant?

Today, we went to Gao Qunsheng, a new Henan cuisine restaurant that opened in Flushing NY. We ordered (as named on the menu):

1. Nourishing lamb noodle soup

2. Traditional salad (beef)

3. Pan-fried buns (beef)

The guy sitting at the table next to us had ordered the "crispy dough fritters" (aka short you tiao), and offered us some, so I took a pic of them, too 😅

We were not disappointed in any of the dishes. The lamb soup, which had 2 kinds of noodles, was excellent. The beef dish was enjoyable. The pan-fried buns were very good (we put hot chili oil and some other spicy sauce that was at at the table in them). The you tiao here gave me zeppole vibes (sans powdered sugar) more than any you tiao I've had before (that's not a complaint!) We will definitely be returning to try other dishes!

A question for roast duck: Do you prefer Peking Duck or Cantonese BBQ/Roast Duck?

I tried it for the first time this year and have been craving it for weeks!

I'm debating whether I should buy a tin of MX Hong Kong White Lotus mooncakes on Ebay for $67.20. I'd love to try these mooncakes, as they are a top quality brand, however, I'm not sure if I really want to be spending that much money on some desserts. I don't have much money at the moment as it is. What should I do? Should I go ahead and buy the mooncakes, or should I wait until next mooncake season, when I can buy them in the store for less money?

last time I went to get my nails done the woman who does them and I’ve been seeing for like the last 6 months gave me these snacks plus dried mango as a little gift. she is soooo kind to do this, im super excited to try them but theres still a bit of a language barrier so im not 100% sure what they are. One is croaker? And one is squid I think? I’m not a picky eater at all and like Chinese food but haven’t had snacks like this before.

Can someone give me a little more info on them please ? :) I don’t wanna use chat gpt lol

Hi,

I received this Chinese pastry, but the individual packaging has no ingredient list. Does anyone recognize the exact product or brand (凤之阁) and know what it contains?

I specifically need to know whether it contains pork/lard (猪油), pork-derived gelatin, alcohol, or any other non-Halal ingredients.

If anyone can identify the exact pastry or find its ingredient list in Chinese, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

Nighttime street food is mandatory in Guiyang, so here's my midnight meal from a couple of days ago. This is called 小豆腐, small tofu, soft tofu cut into squares and just barely grilled long enough to start bubbling. As soon as you flip it once, you can start dipping it and eating it. The dip options I've got here are a ​bright, spicy sauce with garlic, cilantro and citrus, and a dry chili powder dip topped​ with green onion and fishmint root (折耳根). After the tofu, they brought out the three shreds (三丝), cabbage, potato and sweet potato noodles​​ to grill up. Finally, we had mashed potato cakes (洋芋粑), my eternal favorite. They're mashed, pressed into cakes and then you grill them until they're crispy on the outside.

When I first came to the city I used to turn down xiaoye (宵夜), the night meal that all the locals love, but now I absolutely cannot resist when friends call me out to snack. Time for some bigger jeans, I guess! ​​​

¿Me podéis decir algunos platos típicos (o no tan típicos) que no lleven salsa de soja? Es que muchas de las recetas que veo casi siempre lo lleva, y me gustaría no abusar tanto de la salsa de soja. Os lo agradecería aún más si me decís platos principales; no dulces o acompañamientos

Ingredients :
1 packet hot pot base or spicy instant noodle seasoning (the one with the dark sauce)
1 tbsp chili oil
1 tsp chili flakes
4-5 pieces tofu or daikon radish, square cut
100 g cooked sliced beef (roast or braised)
3 tbsp corn kernels
1 tsp dried scallion or herb flakes
1 small block beef tallow or hot pot butter (optional)
500-600 ml water or stock
1 block yellow egg noodles (instant)
4-5 large shrimp, shell on
4-5 mussels
3-4 lettuce leaves
100-150 g thin-sliced fatty beef (shabu-shabu cut)

Made Baozi from scratch. It didn’t come out white, but it’s soft and fluffy. I experimented with making my own lard and added it in additional to oil. Used milk powder too, as I read somewhere it will make the dough soft and sweet. The filling is pork and spring onions. I added water to the filling mix instead of cornflour when I was mixing and when I bit into one after cooking there’s too much juice (like a xiaolongpao) 😅 please do share your tips for a good baozi dough.
