That reminds me, I need to learn to make mapo tofu. Anyone ever cook it?

this one checks out I think... it's the right bean paste and uses Sichuan peppercorns for the numbing..

Thoughts and/or experiences?

 

[zeemumu]

I wish there was a way to distinguish American Chinese cuisine from Chinese cuisine. They're about as related as German and Japanese food T__T.

The best AC food I've ever had was in SF. Like... damn.



Also, general tsao's chicken, and orange chicken, should be considered their own dishes, much like we consider pizza to be pizza, not Italian food.

I could use pizza right now...

My dad was lax with expectations but my mom was another story. So i can half-relate, i guess?

This is my go to recipe: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/04/mapo-tofu-sichuan-food-recipe.html

(Looks like the directions might be cut off? I found the same recipe here: https://food52.com/recipes/28917-fuschsia-dunlop-s-ma-po-tofu I bought Land of Plenty, which is totally worth buying and it's back in print in the U.S. so prices aren't crazy anymore)

Btw, it's worth it to get good toubanjan if possible. I always finish it with a sprinkle of ground Sichuan peppercorn, too.

Hey, remember that Bruce Lee movie about a white guy?

The Guardian: Birth of the Dragon: makers of film about Bruce Lee respond to 'yellowface' row

Small part of the article:

London adds that the promo reel that aroused online hostility was aimed at Hollywood film buyers, and was therefore a tool to enable inroads into a mainstream American audience. “It was made primarily to allow distributors to see the film as a marketable proposition. From a Hollywood standpoint, Birth of the Dragon looks like a foreign film: it has a largely Asian cast, it was financed by Asian financiers, there’s only a single white actor. What’s so funny was that, while we have been accused of tokenism over the portrayal of Asian characters, during the making of the movie we were concerned about tokenism for the exact opposite reason, because we only had one white character.”

Sure seemed like a token white dude.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Gtfo with that. Token white guy? Because there aren't enough movies featuring white people.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Nah. Nah dude. They knew exactly what they were doing. Fuck that bullshit.

 

[33-Hit-Combo]

omg those look very delicious!

Thanks!

Oh damn that looks great, gotta give that a bash

Bruce is literally East meets West... you don't need a white guy to bridge anything... Also Wong Jack Man wasn't a Shaolin Monk, he was just a Chinatown Kung Fu instructor who wasn't exactly happy with Bruce Lee teaching to non Chinese.

Not interested in a Switch?

Too bad, back to food:

What should I do with these wings? Should I use the Asian conventional oven? Fry them in oil? Bake them?

I marinated them with MSG, Yeo's Sweet Chili Sauce, Haitai Chili Powder, and I was thinking of adding in some garlic.

 

[Septimus Prime]

What? That's a pic of lazy-eyed Deathstroke.

Sorry for your loss...did she raise you for a bit? I myself was raised by my maternal grandmother until I was 3 and then in my early teen years as well..so her passing was hard on me. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I'm making preparations to go back to Hong Kong in a couple of weeks for the funeral. Does anyone know about wearing white for a Chinese funeral?
