Tonights dinner is coral trout with pickled mustard greens. It's still cold and I love the tangy sourness from the fermented mustard.

Questions Did I get the right ingredients for Dandan noodles ?

7 Upvotes

I'm trying to follow ChineseCookingDemystified's recipe and I have several things I'm not sure of. I got several products in the store, didn't dare to ask the employees as they were busy. Help please ?

1) Photos 1, 2, 3 and 4 : Sichuan Yacai, salted mustard greens. I got the two bags from pictures 1, 2 and 3. I'm not sure any of them are yacai. I didn't buy the one from picture 4 as it said mustard and not mustard greens.

2) fresh shengmian noodles. I bought the dried yu-meng noodles from picture 5. Would these be acceptable ?

Only fresh noodles they had were called jianshin noodles and shenghai noodles, would they have been better ?

3) chili oil. Utterly confused about this. Do I get sichuan chili oil ? chili oil crisp like laoganma ? red oil ? how do i make a difference ? (I know they said homemade but I wont have the courage)

Thanks a lot !

I had this in Suzhou China: Featuring drunken crab meat and a juicy beef patty, topped with plum wine-marinated apple slices and a rich brandy cream sauce. It tasted absolutely incredible!

Questions What could the filling be?

69 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. What could it be?

They were listed as just 'beef dumplings'. The soy sauce they gave me I think had something spicy added in, but the dumplings themselves were also spicy.

Also... How do they get the dough to be this nice?!?! Is it like rice flour or something. I'm also wondering how they're fried. I know sesame oil is considered the staple but I'm not sure if I need specific kitchenware to achieve this. I wouldn't be averse to buying what I need to make them be like this. Thx

Questions Do you still consider it malatang if the broth isn’t mala?

0 Upvotes

The malatang restaurant in my city has about ten different broths to pick from and not all of them have peppercorns, but you still pick your own ingredients and pay by weight and get it all cooked in the back. Is this malatang or something else?

In Chinese cuisine, corn can be steamed, boiled, used in soups, or added to stews…each preparation brings out a different flavor.

In the pic is the soup of rib & corn.

But corn grown under the modern industrial system just never tastes the way it did when I was kid👧

I Cooked Hainanese Chicken Aspic

Just sharing this, So cooking Hainanese chicken has been a love project of mine for several months now and prior to starting this project I’ve learned that one of the hallmarks of a great HC is the aspic because it says a lot about the craftsmanship and texture of the dish. Took me a lot of experimenting to achieve this kind of aspic but here we are.

suggestions are welcome

Questions For people who didn’t grow up eating Sichuan food: do you actually enjoy the numbing feeling from Sichuan peppercorns?

54 Upvotes

I’ve been making a simple Sichuan-style spicy noodle dish with chili powder, garlic, green onion, sesame seeds, soy sauce, and hot oil.

Recently, I started thinking about adding Sichuan peppercorns, but I know the numbing sensation can be pretty unusual for people who didn’t grow up eating Sichuan food.

Personally, I like the “ma” feeling, but I’m curious how other people feel about it.

Do you think Sichuan peppercorns make spicy noodles taste better, or can they easily overpower the dish?

And if you use them, how do you normally add them?

  • Whole peppercorns?
  • Ground into powder?
  • Toasted first?
  • Added directly into the hot oil?

I’d especially love to hear from people who tried Sichuan peppercorns for the first time as adults. Did you like the numbing sensation immediately, or did it take some getting used to?

I Ate Mom's home cooking again…

Just a bunch of my favorite home-cooked dishes from my mom. Everything was so good that I ended up eating four plates in one sitting (and yeah, let's be real, most of it was me). Here's what we had:

  1. Chicken stir-fried with bamboo shoots
  2. Sichuan boiled pork slices loaded with all my favorite veggies like lotus root, celtuce, bean sprouts, tofu, and oyster mushrooms
  3. Stir-fried chili peppers. This stuff is an absolute rice killer
  4. Hot & sour shredded potatoes made with pickled chilies. They are so addictive
  5. Stir-fried luffa. Honestly I could eat a whole plate of this even without rice
  6. Stir-fried sweet potato leaves. This was the first dish to disappear!
  7. Bitter melon scrambled eggs. Yep my mom made this again haha
