grease and monosodium glutamate.

Idk, Mexican ranks up there with them. THe authentic kind not that volcano shit inducing taco bell

>>7008559
It is because it is proven that the best foods come from people coping with shitty ingredients.

Cajun food came from people scavenging what ever muckbugs and toothy critters they could find out in swamps and combining it with a touch of their long-gone French heritage.

Mexican food comes from harsh times and living harsh lives in a land full of cactuses.

Chinese food, because the emperors were usually dicks and often if they had meat it was semi-rotten and had to be masked with skillfull use of spices and sauces. They also learned to only partially steam vegetables instead of reducing them to soft consistencies like Europeans because then they take longer to digest and you can fill people up with less.

Although you can't tell me that a good European/American beef stew isn't fucking beautiful. Especially after acquiring new world ingredients like potatoes and corn.

>>7008559
dog meat and gutter oil and virgin piss egg comments INC

>>7008559
because of the age and relative stability of chinese culture would be my guess

>>7008592
lol can't tell if you're trolling or seriously misinformed.
China was one of the largest and wealthiest empire in the world, they got fucking rekt in modern era but they were definitely not >coping with shitty ingredients for the longest time.

give me some cheese wiz instead

>>7008592
yes. Mexico is all cactus

>pic related

>>7008605
>describing a 5,000+ year old conglomeration of empires, cultures, demographics, and culinary histories with a single description.

You're as retarded as the first guy if you think china has never gone through poverty in antiquity or if you think famine food hasn't influenced their tastes.

>>7008605
Yes, and the average peasant had access to grorious ingledients.

Bitch please, go to a Chinese farming village today that is still using the same techniques and tell me it isn't shit. They try to eek out everything they can so they learn to deal with slightly off food.

Yeah, it was rich, but guess what most of that wealth was in the emperors name and owned by the government and officials. The average chinchong wasn't running around with gold plated hammer pants and a house made out of elephant penis bones.

>>7008657
You realize there are many forms of cacti and several do not look like the typical cactus.

Also it was partially a joke on Mexico, they don't really fit the bill but it pretty much is true that the tastiest shit comes from countries and people who stretched what they had as far as it could go, and often you don't want to know how it was made.

>>7008562
Agreed. a solid Mole is one of the best foods in the world imo

>>7008669
>>7008692
I was responding to his comment on how emperors were eating semi-rotten meat, not describing China as a whole.

And as a Chinese I've had cornmeal sorghum bread, ate pretty much every part of a pig except for its brain and testicles, both my parents grew up in rural villages in Northeastern China and rarely had meat for their first twenty years, so I'd like to think I know a little about Chinese cuisine.

>>7008657
Actually the jungles there are full of cacti that are epiphytic such as Pitaya and various other species.

>>7008735
Nigger I never said the Emperor at that shit. Sorry if it got implied, but saying the Emperor ate that shit is like saying the King of France ate turnip soup.

>>7008692
>elephant penis bones

It's called a baculum, and elephants are one of the few mammals who don't have one.

Though it would be exceedingly extravagant to build a house from an imaginary bone.

can some kind anon please post the stir fry graphic? thx m8s

>>7009153

The vast majority of people living in China go this day seldom eat meat, live in squalor and cannot read or write. Only in or near large cities are these skills important.

The rest of the country remains peasant/serf...farming their lives away, barely making a living.

Pic related, the average Chinese person, their diet consists of rice and vegetables, meat is a luxury.

>>7009421
8/10, would bang

>>7009421
You need to check your facts.

>>7009421
Not exactly true. Over half of the population lives in cities now.

However, those that don't live pretty much exactly like you said. I've got family out there and I've visited and it's pretty grim.

>>7009445

I lived and worked in China for 2 years with IBM, ever seeing the construction of a 550,000sqft factory that employed 100,000 people. So sad all those American jobs were exported. Meh, I got my paycheck.

Off topic though, Chinese people are disgusting, lI've in squalor and most certainly consider meat a luxury. 100% of the world's flu strains developed in said squalor and ignorance.

>>7008559
It's the "cooking oil".

>>7008559
Well obviously they do better than American, that is universally agreed on being the most horrific excuse for "food" around.

>>7008559
Give them credit when doing it for thousands of years.

>>7009468
riiight

>>7009473
This and the fact that China is fucking huge with a fuckload of people and different cuisines within it. Maybe if you group every European cuisine together as one it can compare with Chinese food, but otherwise it's not a fair comparison.

>>7009479
I wouldn't put it that way, it's just different. In history we've all been going for thousands of years, but perhaps they've had more stable emperys to keep recipes.

>>7009479

Every culture has been making food for "thousands of years" though. Absolutely none of what they eat besides noodles and rice are the same.

>give them credit for doing something literally everyone else has done.

I'd prefer not to. Heavily spicing food to disguise rotten flesh isn't a new trick, coming from a culture that to this day consumes food called "virgin boy eggs" (eggs boiled in the urine of pre-pubescent boys) I'll take anything said about them with a grain of salt.

>>7009489
>Every culture has been making food for "thousands of years" though
Have you seen what nomadic tribes and those hunter gatherer cultures eat? It usually isn't super complex.

The development of cuisine is one, dependent on the material available locally, and two, dependent on the ingredients acquired through trade, and three, dependent on a merchant/aristocratic class that can afford luxury. China has had all three to higher degree than most other regions in the world historically.

>>7009496

The Greeks and Romans are very well... yes.

Especially the Romans, they had culinary arts so fine tuned that would have binge parties, where they would consume inhuman amounts of food, cram large feathers down their throats to vomit, then continue eating...all the while oiled up little boys carried around trays of wine completely naked knowing at some point someone there was going to savagely rape them, or maybe more than one person, who knows.

Chinas economy past or present has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

>b-but muh geopolitical arguments i-i-i learned in college anon

Go away, or stay on topic.

>>7009505
Do you really think factors such as population size, prevalence of trade and economy does not correlate with developments of cuisine?

>>7009512

The East traded with the west for many centuries, adding to their cuisines and economies, the anon ITT talking about being from the north west of China would eat vastly different cuisine than people living on lets say the Russian border, or the people living in the Sub-Tropical climates of China. Mongolian food, Tibetan food, vastly different.

All great empires fail, China has been on the chopping block for a very long time, allowing themselves to be exploited by the entire world and treated as a dumping grounds to make a very small handful of people wealthy, while the majority of its citizens birth flipper babies, die of cancer, have no access to medicine and die of curable illnesses like common Africans, cannot read or write...and develop concepts like boiling eggs in virgin males urine and consuming them.

China stopped being relevant hundreds of years ago. The day humanity developed the technology to harness electricity is the very same day China became obsolete.

They're the worlds servants, nothing more.

Hell, people were even trading genes back in those times, that's why everyone on the planet besides Sub-Saharan Africans possess Neanderthal DNA.

I can say that Japanese food is bland as hell, you're right. Grew up eating it all the damn time because that's what my family cook (family is from Kobe).

I don't know much about Chinese food, though, other than a few of the common regional cuisines. I have no idea what people in the far west, the southwest or any part of the north of China eat.

I think Mexican food is pretty bad-ass, tbqhwy, fam, though Indian food seems to have flavour profiles that all taste too much alike.
Not that all Indian dishes taste exactly the same, but...

It's like...

If someone makes Japanese meat-and-tofu miso stew with potato using chicken or beef instead of the more usual pork, I can taste the difference because chicken, beef and pork stocks taste dissimilar to one another (not to mention the meats do, too) and there aren't a couple dozen spices dominating the dish. I can taste the food for what it is.
But with Indian food, I honestly can't tell much of a difference between Panjabi lamb or goat mustard saag, Muslim beef spinach saag nor the pork, chicken or gluten versions made with other greens common in South India, either. That's because all the spices drown out the flavours of the meat, stock and greens being used.
It's not bad, but if I'm eating chicken, I'd like to taste the chicken without wondering "is this chicken or what?" If I'm eating spinach, I'd like to taste the spinach.

Am I alone on this or do I have plebeianly simple tastes? I still think Japanese food is bland, though.

>>7009528
>Am I alone on this or do I have plebeianly simple tastes?
I meant
>Am I NOT alone on this or do I have plebeianly simple tastes?
Sorry about that.

>>7009524
> to make a very small handful of people wealthy, while the majority of its citizens birth flipper babies, die of cancer, have no access to medicine and die of curable illnesses like common Africans, cannot read or write...and develop concepts like boiling eggs in virgin males urine and consuming them.
Sounds like the Republican party's wet dream, what's the problem here? Do you hate freedom?

>>7009528
It's probably just your life experience allowing you to discern regional flavors with more finesse than you can discern another country's regional flavors.

>>7008559
they put fat and sugar in everything, its like asking why icecream tastes good

>>7009540
>they put fat and sugar in everything
Just like Americans.

>>7009551
Then why is american cuisine so bland or conversely so over-flavored?

>>7009554
I don't there is such a thing as American cuisine.

It's a hotch-potch of other cuisines but 'not quite right' and 3x the size. with added fat and sugar.

>>7009564
>hotch-potch

They've been doing it for 4000 years, they've had time to practice.

Sichuan food is the best in the world, hands down.

>>7009535

Political parties are a divide & conquer tactic that clearly works in the USA.

>>7009564

Do you think Communist China is going to reveal any weakness it has to the world? Their stock market crash alone was blacked out of their media to keep their own citizens ignorant enough to keep investing into a sinking ship.

Quite literally everything they say about themselves is a lie, my Gran taught me well to never trust a chinamen.

>>7009949

>muh teenaged swag maymay

I hate this board sometimes.

>>7009955

you need a laxative or something buddy cause you're full of shit

go outside, take a walk. it's not the same 1920's your "gran" lived through. no scary bucktooth chinaman is going to come steal away your precious american resources.

you're so scared and threatened by a country that doesn't even know you exist. just relax man. step outside.

>>7009955
You're delusional, I was in China when the stock market crash happened, it wasn't blasted everywhere on the news but all the major news media reported it.
Of course they didn't critique it and tell the government to keep their hands off but everyone was informed.
thanks for shitposting long enough to derail another thread on Chinese food. This is why I never share my Chinese recipes on /ck/

>>7009970

>i was in China

No, you weren't. Are we talking about the crash in 2007 when I was living there working for IBM, or the one last year that the PROC outright refused to admit happened to its citizens?

>>7009968

I'm not American though.

is that the default response of your swaggy teens? "Muh murrica" memes?

Sad thing is, you're the American... or Canadian... which is the exact same thing as you're parasites crossing borders to leech off the Americans. 80% of Canadas population lives within a hours drive, or two from the USA border. Sad really.

Can't blame them really, codependency is a struggle with Canadians hence the French Canadians want to become free from the UK. QE will never let that happen though, sad sad sad.

At least they get a smiling reminder every single time they open their wallets that they're quite literally the chattle of her royal majesty. Pic related.

Canadians cross the American border daily for cheaper petrol and groceries. That's why Walmart exist in multiples on the Canadian border... they're depending on you to be subservient and codependent. Marlboro reds are illegal there but Kinder eggs (dirty Turkish candy) isn't? Gross.

>>7011187
Kinder is an Italian brand, you mongoloid,

Why are they so good?

They understand balance. Any decent meal should have a balance of hot, sour, and sweet. if these 3 flavors are in balance, its going to fucking own your senses.

Actual Chinese food (not westernized Chinese takeaway with MSG) is awesome. easy to make, beautiful fresh flavors, very little fat. Steaming in itself is a glorious way of cooking food. so delicate and makes for very interesting sauces, as your food steams in its own sauce.

>>7008725
Mole is literally Mexican curry

>>7013246
This book is so fucking good

>>7008559
No offense OP but Chinese food is shit. Pumped up on sauces and MSG.

I love spicy food and I believe that Chinese food is utter shit when it comes to balancing the spices.

So, as a spice lover indian I my go to cuisine. Yes, it smells. Yes, its a mess. Yes, the number of ingredients is just too damn high. But their biryanis, tandooris, pulavs, curries will always be my favourites.

>>7013275
What's the book called?

>>7013413
Not western take away, proper chinese food. 0 msg

Also indian food... I think dhal is the best

>>7013424

Based on the obvious hints on the pages, Balance & Harmony.

>>7011880

Kinder, is made by rocher, which is made in Turkey... not Italy

>>7013470
ferrero is an italian brand numbnuts

>>7013435
fucking confirmed for never having experienced china firsthand

why don't you do some research and look up MSG usage in China. Every fucking body uses it

>inb4 you claim to be from China

>>7013473

Yes and it's manufactured in Turkey, by dirty little brown people.

>>7013435
Dude I'm Chinese, now living in Mumbai. We buy MSG (anjinomoto) from the stores and use it like salt or soy sauce. My mom stopped using it in the 80's but its still a widely used ingredient.

>>7008592
Well we Swedes had nothing to eat except herrings, turnips and tree bark for a few thousand years, and our traditional cuisine is pretty shitty more often than not.

>>7011187
>continues to display total ignorance of economics

Ah yes, I missed this.

>>7013435
Dal is definitely one of the most underrated facets of Indian cuisine. So tasty and so healthy it's unreal. High in protein, fiber and complex carbs along with enough simple starches to give you instant energy. Only a little fat used for flavouring. Just turmeric and cumin/mustard seeds in the name of spices.

I think it's not very popular in the west because it's so easy to make no one goes out to eat it.

>>7013275
>not caramelizing the beef with rock sugar
The ingredients are okay (missing some key spices) but the steps after parboiling the beef is completely wrong

Shut up already. Canada is just another poverty stricken nation that boast about superiority while depending on others to survive. Plain and simple.

my fucking sides.

>>7013766

Vancouver hosts the largest homeless population in the civilized world...

Toronto isn't too far behind it either.

If Canadians weren't poor there would be no need to cross borders daily to save money. No reason at all.

This has been known for ages, and it was even more important before we got the potato.

>>7013832
>>7013833
Nobody in my extended family put MSG when they cook, and they don't use it on any cooking shows or websites, so it's pretty natural to think they don't put MSG as often as you think.

OP posted something that looks like what I'd get from a local Chinese restaurant, but that's American cuisine, isn't it? Chinese-american is still American.
I'm not sure I'd agree that Chinese so good at food.

>Nobody in my extended family put MSG when they cook

They absolutely use soy sauce, along with fish sauce, oyster sauce, Worchestershire sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms, hard cheeses... Need I go on?

>>7013952
>Do they use soy sauce? Then they use glutamates when they cook

Yes of course. But that's not the same thing as adding refined MSG powder to a dish. Cooking with natural sources of glutamates (like fermented foods) is a good thing. Adding MSG powder instead is a shortcut used by crappy cooks.

>>7013959
Alright, fair enough. I admit I don't used the refined stuff on it's own. It's got a weird flavor on its own that stuff like soy sauce and fish sauce are good at covering up, so I just use that. I just get triggered hardcore when people claim they don't eat MSG, then use all the ingredients I listed because they can't be bothered to look up what MSG actually is.

>>7013892
you might not see it but it happens, to deny taht is to deny fact, literally look it up, MSG powder sold and used like your average seasoning in chinese cooking. and you might not have seen chinese cooking videos with MSG used but I have.

Who /sichuan/ here?

>>7013991

Are you watching the first or the second season?

>>7015127
Fuck em, Chinese food is wonderful. Most Americans don't know the cuisine beyond orange chicken and really don't know what they're missing out on.

>>7015253
The show is good but it has a slight propaganda feel to it. I guess that should be expected from a show made for a government run tv network. Still, I love watching how different it is from region to region.

Vendors is in quotes because they were all lined up single file for about half a city block and wearing the same uniforms, selling the same shit over and over. This shit is just for tourist attraction purposes.

Stinky tofu however, is very widely consumed and is fucking disgusting. My wife eats it like candy.

Perfect roast duck, mad noodle soups where I watched the dude rolling out the noodle dough by hand infront of me, the best prawns i've ever eaten, all kinds of things absolutely bathing in chilli oil.

The only thing that ruined my anus was eating a grilled pigs hoof from a roadside stall, but it was my own fault, and it forced me to learn to use a squat toilet.

10/10 would Beijing again.

What Chinese food have you had? Because I've been to most of the Chinese restaurants where I live and none of them taste anything close to what I had in China. They don't even serve the same dishes.

>pig hooves
Slow braised pig feet are second only to pig knuckles

>>7019095
I've eaten pig knuckle at both a hungarian and a german restaurant, my fucking god it was incredible. Like a normal pork roast but a bit coarser with more intense flavour

I'm hungry, /ck/, what should I order?

get an australian T bone steak with veges and chips lol

seriously though, the braised spicy chicken would probably be pretty gud

It's a broad term.

China is fucking huge with multiple types of food.

It's likes aying I like European food

>>7019166
Looks good, any other suggestions?

>>7019159
Next time try a Chinese version, it's like pig feet but better

>>7019177
i've seen pork knuckle available in a few different styles (and marked as a specialty) at sichuan restaurants in chinatown but i always pussy out because i've never eaten it before and i don't really know the proper way to attack it

>>7019166
I went for this, it's awesome, good taste man

>>7019229
the Aus T-bone or the braised spicy chicken?

please say the chicken

>>7016281

well, you didn't lose any weight there so maybe the food rumours are true

Who here loves red cooking?
>dad makes soy sauce chicken
>gets better every time the stock is reused
>love using the stock heavily in my rice, ignoring the oil layer on top

>>7019246
some chinese master stocks are rumored to be centuries old.

imagine the color of the birds that come out of those stocks... beautiful golden brown

>>7019242
The chicken, I wouldn't go to a chinese place for the steak. Was very spicy, but not stupidly hot, and really tasty.

>>7019246
I can never get the stock quite right. How long does your dad cook the stock for? I can never infuse the flavour of the meat into the stock.

This was todays chicken.
to be honest i have not completely learned the stock because we dont use any measuring tools, but only relying on sight taste and smell. what i do know is that the very first preparation there was some star anise and uses the Mushroom flavoured Superior dark soy sauce from Pearl River Bridge. Once i completly mastered the preparation, i will post it in a future thread.

this is what the stock looks as of today. the oil layer on top makes it look not as appealing but this stock is about 3-4 months old. i really do want to master this soon because there are no other places around here that does any authentic Chinese cooking. Closest maybe is Chinatown in Chicago but thats a 2 hr drive

>>7013717
that, and it tastes like literal shit

>>7008559
skillz m8

>>7021286
Do you keep the stock in the freezer then?

>>7011187
Assholes with an agenda are the true addicts, they're addicted to pushing their agenda on others.

>he can't make tasty dahl
get gud

fry some onions and garlic, add dahl, fry quickly, add stock and cook down, season, DONE.
and thats the basic easy version, you could add all sorts of tasty shit in

we don't freeze it, but let it chill in the fridge. when it cools in the fridge, it actually gels up to a jello-like consistency. when its time to use the sauce again, the top solid fat layer is skimmed off. we use it regularly enough so that the threat for
food-borne illnesses are minimal.

>>7021579
>jello-like consistency
So I'm guessing you use bones for the stock?

>>7008562
Agreed, but the whole shit-inducing taco bell joke needs to die. Not even funny tbh fam

yep balance & harmony by Neil Perry.

Very cool book on chinese cooking. some great recipes that I use almost every day

>>7021791
yea, we have been using chicken leg quarters left uncut until after cooking. We used to have huge pots for doing whole chickens, but we decided to cut back on meat consumption.
