xiao long bao - soup dumplings are abosolute god tier dumpling and best China.

I made Kung Pao CHicken a couple of days ago, following this youtube tutorial here:

This thread would have been better titled East Asian food or Pan-Asian food.

Anyway Laksa for me. "Laksa consists of rice noodles or rice vermicelli with chicken, prawn or fish, served in spicy soup; either based on rich and spicy curry coconut milk, or based on sour asam (tamarind or gelugur). It can be found in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Southern Thailand."

>>8648722
I've been meaning to make something like this, but that kind of "chicken stock" does not exist where I live, it's cubes you mix with water or more concentrated black/brown "fond". I don't know what to do.

Wait, are you talking about stuff like fortune cookies and egg foo young, or actual Chinese food? Or east-west fushion stuff found in Hong Kong dim sum and cafes?

My favouriites:

Chinese dispoara dish:
Hainanese chicken rice 海南雞飯, often considered Singapore's national dish, it's derived from Yellow Oil Chicken Rice 黃油雞飯, an oily chicken cooked on top of rice in a clay pot

Hong Kong Cafe:
- Baked Pork Chop Rice 焗豬扒飯 - this is a HK comfort food where pork chop is first pan fried, than baked with cheese and tomato slices on top of rice.

When I make lemon sauce for chicken or pork, what I do is just dissolve corn starch in cold water, add in fresh squeezed lemon juice, then heat and stir till it thickens.

While we're on the subject of [insert ethnicity] based/inspired/diaspora food, what do you guys think about national pride and cuisine appropriation?

Do you care if a food called X originally from country A becomes popular in country B, but they call it Y, and soon other countries start calling it Y and think of it as B's thing?

Examples could be doner/shawarma/gyro, gyoza/mandu/momo/pierogi, latte(coffee drink)/latte(milk), etc.

teriyaki chicken isn't chinese

For me, it's the beef and broccoli.

I'd have to go with Hakka style Chinese food. Anybody's that's had chilli chicken with hakka chow mein knows how god tier that style of food is. for the uninitiated, It's a mix of Indian flavors and traditional Chinese stand bys: chow mein, Manchurian chicken, fried rice.

Markham, Ontario has the best spots. Fredricks, China cottage, tangerine

>>8654165
No, not really. People who talk about "cultural appropriation" and bullshit like that are narrow-minded individuals who did not study the beauty of human history, of how cultural interactions between many peoples also affected local cuisines throughout the world.

I consider it a very beautiful thing, since we get more variety of food. I like food having variety and this is a good thing. Like I enjoy noticing the subtle differences between gyoza, mandu and pierogi for example.

>>8648553
Had this over the weekend and it was pretty good. It wasn't as spicy as people made it out to be though.

>>8655302
Variety is good, and you have a good point there, but my problem is not with diffusion, but with the naming.

People will grab onto any identity they can, original names get lost in translation, and "traditional X food" makes good marketing.

A jiaozi recipe and a momo recipe could quite literally be the exact same, since they aren't platonic ideals, but hipsters would still rave about the "traditional tibetan dish." That's not necessarily wrong, but it's disingenuous and shows ignorance, intentional or not. Meanwhile, your chili recipe and my chili recipe could be far more different and still be called chili.

Just the other day I saw a recipe for "vietnamese" short ribs. There was really nothing "vietnamese" about it. The naming is what bothers me. Naming implies ownership. Things like apple pie being considered american or tea being associated with britain does not because it uses plain nouns.

Writing all this has made me realize what I really want is food taxonomy to be a thing.

>>8655650
Maybe they have some weird preparation that makes it "vietnamese," anon. It probably just tastes like regular short ribs, but just prepared a different way.

>>8655501
I don't like shrimp so I don't think har gow can be objectively be best dim sum.

>>8645875

A northern Chinese dish that is pork and mushrooms.
No, it wasn't muxu pork. It had no eggs, but it was swimming in a kind of dark liquid (probably vinegar of some sort) with a bunch of vegetables.

At least you aren't a Jew that can't pork at a dim sum place.

>>8656273
Not sure if it was sour. It was more savory than either sour or sweet. It also wasn't stewed in the way that the sauce is thick. The sauce was really thin.

Yuxiang Rou Si is pretty good.

>>8653651
It's surprisingly good

>>8648679
i wish there was someplace near me to get these. had them once in seattle, been chasing the dragon ever since. i even tried making my own, the filling was on point but i cant wrap dumplings to save my life

I know these are uncommon outside of my area, but I've got four favourites, all from the same hawker nearby:

-melon and clam kang mian
-razor clams mei fun dry style
-chicken and saltfish fried rice
-squid with cauliflower

For food better known to the west, I've yet to have a bad fried lao mian/lo mein. When traveling abroad, it's the only dish my mother will order from """""Chinese""""" places.

>>8656910
I like how rousi, when made properly, have a great synergy with the ingredients. It really makes you like eating vegetables.

My mall used to have a Japanese place that gave you like 2 pounds of teriyaki chicken over a pound of rice for $4

I felt so dirty but fuck me it was good.

In Taiwan right now. Gaobao is awesome. The oyster omelette I wasn't a big fan of but was fun to try

Real Chinese food is the disgusting result of the decades of starvation and scavenging they endured in the mid 20th century. Anyone who romanticizes this literal garbage is either Chinese and feeling nostalgic or is some virtue-signalling faggot who compulsively praises the cultures of others over that of the west.

>inb4 you never tasted my grandma's cat brain and turtle dick soup you don't know what you're missing

>>8660045
Not all Chinese lived in starvation and scavenging conditions. Basically, the Chinese food we enjoy now is something richer Chinese enjoyed, not the gruel common people ate during the pre-20th century stage of their history. Actually, the same case could be made for food from everywhere else. Not everybody could actually afford meat and all these variety of foods until very recently in human history.
Well, even now, there are people that are suffering from absolute poverty, but you probably understand what is being said.

Then why were the wealthy Chinese eating eyeballs and fish cum? Why do they love to gnaw cartilage and chew bones? What about tasteless shark fins or rubbery sea cucumbers?

>Why do they love to gnaw cartilage and chew bones? What about tasteless shark fins or rubbery sea cucumbers?

I don't know the reason or history behind it, but that chewy-rubbery texture is highly valued in many kinds of Asian cuisine, especially Chinese. The most expensive ingredients in Chinese cooking all demonstrate that texture--shark's fin, swallow's nest, sea cucumber, bear's paw, etc. The whole point of those dishes is the texture, and they're willing to pay crazy high prices for it.

>>8652845
It's still Americanizied Chinese food, it's just a lot less sugary. The closest you'll get to authentic gen tsos is if you can find a hunanese restaurant.

>>8660045

Lol. No.

Even first generation Chinese immigrants don't order that much of that stuff from.whst I've seen. You'd be amazed at how many FOB Cantonese people are ordering general tao chicken, Cantonese chow mein, yeung chow fired rice, chili turnip patties, beef with black pepper sauce, etc.

I really fucking love Asian soups though. A shame that I never see any in buffets, only sugary meat, noodles, and fried stuff.

Spring rolls on both sides.

On the left, 燒賣, it's pork dumpling with crab roe, very popular Hong Kong dim sum.


On the right, stuffed pepper, usually it's hot green pepper stuffed with ground pork.
