I don't know what you have access to, but most soy sauces are better than Lee Kum Kee's! Dark soy sauce is not a substitute for light, but Japanese is OK.

"Chinese" food as it appears in different countries
liuzhou replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
Thanks. Here chao mian is often a flat noodle more like tagliatelle, but as I said above, it can any of many types of wheat noodle. In fact, in many places, if you ask for a noodle dish, you will be asked if you want flat or round. I usually go for flat. -
"Chinese" food as it appears in different countries

Thanks. Never seen anything like that before. Must be American-Chinese. Chow mien (炒面 - chǎo miàn) is a thing here, but never crispy and can be many different types of noodles - although always wheat. Fried rice noodles are 炒粉 - chǎo fěn. -
Host's note: this discussion began in the Food in the Time of a Pandemic topic. What are chow mein noodles? (Serious question - "chow mein" means fried noodles. Fried noodle noodles?)

Maybe, but only if you are my ex-wife, which I somewhat doubt. I seem to remember them being quite popular back in the pre-food processor days in London.

Korea? Or at least a Korean or Asian market where you are?
-
I had the same one! Wonder what happened to it.

Because one was undamaged doesn't mean they all are. I'd test them all!

Twice cooked pork ribs with garlic, ginger, chilli, star anise, garlic scapes, Shaoxing wine and soy sauce. Stir fried sweet potato shoots and rice. Two days to cook and eaten in minutes.

In Scotland, no. The little whitish turnips are called little whitish turnips, but are not common. Neeps are very, very common. The wikipedia article on rutabaga is unusually good on the etymology of the various names.

Yes, but not in taste, not that I've ever tried such a cross! 😁
-
Indeed. Apologies for the typo. Now edited.
-
Yes, we do that in Scotland, too. Swedes or turnips or neeps. In London, always Swedes, as I remember. In China, we call them unavailable!
-
Yes, they seem to have a few names, but the only references I found to witchcraft was on US websites!

I've been making soda bread for decades, always to the same recipe. 450 grams flour 1tsp bicarb 1tsp salt 400ml buttermilk mix, shape, score and bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.

Here's a new one to me. 紫手指 (zǐ shǒu zhǐ), literally purple fingers. They are finger grapes aka witches' finger grapes.
-
Sure rutabaga (or as I know it, 'neep'). All you need now is the haggis to make haggis, tatties and neeps. 🥂

Simple. Perhaps a bit boring. But what I wanted. Linguine with home made pesto and garlic.
-
Generally speaking yes, carnivores don't taste so good, with the exception of fish. Don't ask me why!
-
Why not? In fact it is delicious. Donkey is even better.

So they only have one species at different ages.
