My opinion comparing to what I'm used to from New York.

It was larger chunk's of chicken, more gooey and less sweet. More spicy.

Questions A restaurant in my city makes Chinese breakfast and I don't know what to order

Post image
398 Upvotes

I'm a Chinese breakfast noob. I think that the fried sticks are to be eaten with the soy milk, but what about the rest? What are your favorite combos?

Edit: like in every good Chinese restaurant in Italy, the translations on the menu are mostly wrong and often hilarious

Questions Fujian Noodles

6 Upvotes

Maybe stupid question. I ordered "Fujian Noodles (with lard)" today in a restaurant. I was expecting noodles in a peanut sauce. What arrived was delicious: square noodles in a thick sweet brown sauce, fish balls, thinly sliced pork, shrimp, some green vegetables, and crunchy cubes of fried pork fat.

I'm just wondering - was I the victim of two similarly named dishes? Or did I get a name mixed up?

I was in Hubei this week, and I skipped the hotel breakfast to find local breakfast shops as they are always better. The two traditional things I get every time I'm in Hubei is the reganmian and the Wuhan doupi. The doupi is not really tofu, but the fried egg layer looks like tofu skin. It also has a layer of rice with pork, mushroom, and compressed tofu.

Questions Favorite Chinese restaurants in Milan

5 Upvotes

I’m going to be in Milan next week and have heard they have a great Chinatown. Please share your favorite restaurants there with me! I’m particularly partial to Shanghainese (especially xiaolongbao, shengjianbao) and Schezuan cuisine but would be happy for recommendations from any region. Thanks so much!

Questions "Lighter" recipes

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for lighter recipe ideas. So far, I have plans to make a lot of bone broth and kimchi. Can make a lot of soups with the broth and kimchi is good for the gut.

I am looking for recipes with less rice and dairy that aren't served ice cold. I'm looking for things that don't feel heavy and I think people more knowledgeable about Asian cuisines can help compared to the more western side of reddit who would tell me eggs and Greek yogurt. Ugh.

I also have a stash of TCM herbs so I am open to recipes that include those as well!

Questions Stupid question: "Peking pancakes" as dumpling wrappers?

3 Upvotes

I don't have the energy to make the dumpling dough- i thought i had wrappers for them in the freezer but turns out it's these thin pancakes😩 could I use them? Or would it be not good or possible in some way? I am not near a shop or anything so i can't get the right ones.

Sorry for the silly question. Maybe on a better day with more energy i would experiment with it

Questions Need Help trying to remember an ingredient?

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to remember an ingredient in a Cantonese dish that I had a long time ago. If I remember correctly, it was an intestine of some kind? It's white in nature, and also had some grooves in it (every piece had it). Also each piece is curled up almost like the & sign. My foggy memory also think it might have been in a stir-fry with peppers or something. Hope that's enough to help?

Questions Can you recommend some “authentic” dishes that I should be able to find on menus in the US?

10 Upvotes

We have many Chinese take-out style restaurants where I am at. I wouldn’t classify any of them as high end or fancy. But many of them do have large menus.

One place nearby that I have never been has bullfrog on the menu. Never seen that before!

What are some of the more “authentic” items I should be looking for to try, as opposed to mandarin chicken, sesame chicken, etc.?

Questions What do chinese muslims use instead of shaoxing wine?

71 Upvotes

I'm a non chinese muslim and trying to do more chinese cooking (currently mainly learning about sichuan dishes since i like those the most rn) at home. I've found that alot of recipes i want to cook use shaoxing wine and that it's a very important flavour in alot of chinese dishes. So I've been learning about and experimenting with replacements for it in recipes and finding out if i need it in certain recipes at all.

I also know there's a large (over 10 million people) ethnoreligious group in china called the hui people and they're mostly muslim, and that there's also other populations of muslims in china. So there's got to be some amount of them that don't cook with alocohol. I assume that since they're from china and therefore the cuisine is part of their culture, they've probably found a much better replacement for shaoxing wine after growing up with the food than i have just researching online for a while. So I've been trying to find out what they use as a replacement but i can't seem to find any sources on that.

Does anyone here have any idea what chinese people who don't use alcohol in their food replace shaoxing wine with? Or do they perfer to omit the ingredient entirely?
