    Yes. Always.

    Dinner 2021

    I know, but I use the names and definitions used in China, not America. Seems reasonable. There are many different types of 白菜 bok choy / pak choi. It just means 'white vegetable' or 'cabbage'. 'Bok choy' is Cantonese; in Mandarin it's 白菜 (bái cài). For what I hope are obvious reasons, I'm using Mandarin. In 2016, a purple variety of napa cabbage was bred in Korea and introduced to China as 紫罗兰白菜 (zǐ luó lán bái cài) - literally 'violet cabbage'. That's what I had.

    Dinner 2021

    Hand-pulled supermarket roast rabbit with a dry spice dip. Served with stir-fried purple bok choy (napa cabbage). More information on the Rabbit Cook-Off Topic.
  4. I bought one of the supermarket's roast rabbits. Removed legs and hand-tore the body meat. Served with a dry dip containing bay leaf, ginger, cinnamon, star anise, fennel seed, sichuan peppercorns, chilli powder, cumin, salt and sugar. Dry dip and some stir-fried purple bok choy (napa cabbage). The front legs and other bits of leftover meat will go into some wontons for breakfast.
  5. Made me some doughnuts.

    Ground Pork

    How about Vietnamese bún chả from Hanoi, or is that too meatball-ish? It can be considered to be more burger-like, as here (second recipe).

    No! I think they should call it the "Liuzhou Membrane" in recognition of my contribution to science by pointing out the missing nomenclature! After all, they have names for everything else. Even things they haven't yet proved even exist and we couldn't see if they ever do. What has the liuzhou membrane done to deserve such disrespectful oversight?
  8. Dried little fish with shichimi togarishi (Japanese hot 7-spice powder).

    Ground Pork

    Fuchsia Dunlop's Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is an excellent introduction. The dishes are exactly what I've eaten in Chinese friends' homes for the last 25 years.

    Ground Pork

    There are certainly enough such books out there. However, some are great; some embarrasingly awful. Tread carefully. First, I would suggest deciding whatyou really want. Chinese as cooked and eaten in China or Chinese-American or Chinese as adapted wherever you live. Then narrow down further. Do you want an overall picture or to concentrate on a particular style/region? China doesn't have one cuisine. It has many.

    Ground Pork

    @EatmywordsMaybe I'm a bit slow. It's 02:15 here. G+O? Grapes and Oranges?

    Ground Pork

    Indeed. Not sure about the Bolognese comparison, though. There are literally thousands of Chinese dishes that use ground pork.
  15. According to my late brother-in-law who was a friend (schoolmate) of our boy Rodney, he likes his scran, so I imagine he used freshly made mayo meticulously crafted by nubile, but innocent handmaidens chosen for their strict morals and clean hands. We're all north London boys, innit!

    Eggstatic about eggs

    Yes, I read that before. It just tells me they can't find the name either!
  17. Yeah. My mother tried sending me mince pies/tarts some years back. I got a pile of crumbs and dried fruit. Still ate it! She switched to sending Christmas pudding, but that's a whole different story. They turn up every Christmas in good shape though.

    Eggstatic about eggs

    Talking of eggs and technical names. Does anyone know the correct technical/scientific name for the membrane between the egg shell and the white other than "the membrane between the egg shell and the white"? I've been looking for years and never got a convincing answer.

    Ground Pork

    Yes, but the OP specified he didn't want meatballs, as I recall.

    Ground Pork

    Another Chinese favourite of mine is 蚂蚁上树 (mǎ yǐ shàng shù) or Ants Climbing Trees. This is a noodle dish from Sichuan with 'grains' of ground pork clinging to the noodles. The last paragraph of the Wikipedia article seems to be discussing an American variation (without saying that's what it is). I've never seen the dish served with crisp noodles here.
