Why is most Chinese food trash? And why is Chinese fried rice not as good as Japanese

Because you're a pathetic weaboo who thinks anything that has ever faced Japan is automatically superior.

Entirely depends on the Chinese cuisine.
Personally I find that India via Hakka style improves on a lot of dishes like Chilli Chicken or Ginger Beef but they do spice a bit different then Szechuan which focuses more on honing the oiliness of the chills then Hakka which just infused them raw right in.

As a fellow weeb, I will agree that Japan is a better place and has been for the past 150 years. However, saying Japan is better than China is like saying England is historically better than Persia. Just a silly thing to say. Not to mention, until medieval era, Japan didn’t have much documented history

I'm kind of baffled about what actual Chinese food might be like

I know the shit that they serve in America is bsaically the McDonalds version, if even that. But whenever I hear about "authentic" Chinese food it's always shit like shark fin soup or bowls full of random vegetables and rice. Makes me wonder if American Chinese food being shit is just some bullshit perpetrated by food snobs, like how people say authentic Italian pizza is the best kind

i stayed with my friends family in guangzhou for a month and we ate out in a big group quite a lot.

i think chinese food is very varied, more so than 'european food'.

but in Guangzhou in the south atleast, cantonese food is about freshness and is quite simple.

like steamed whole fish, perfectly tender, very fresh, with ginger and scallions poured over.
If they had an older fish, they would deep fry it and serve it with a strong sauce, but with the good ingredient, they treat it simply.

>>12210714
another example of this is white cut chicken. My friends aunt would buy a live chicken from the chicken man at the market, and the man would slaughter it and butcher it for her, then she'd come back to pick it up and cook it that night. Sometimes she'd get a silky bantum.

So it's VERY fresh, and all she'd do is poach it in aromatics, like pic related, very simple.
If she had an older chicken, she'd roast it or braise it.

That's what you don't get in cheap western chinese food. The delicate simple food with high quality ingredients. You get the big punchy flavours, deep fried stuff, and that's secondary cuisine, atleast in the south.

the other thing i was most impressed by, was their brunch food
when you go out for yum cha, all the handmade dumplings in rice paper rolls, like cheung fun, or har gao are fucking amazing

try find a yum cha restaurant and go for early lunch, they wheel around steamed dishes. It's really good and a fun way of eating and not that expensive.

Actual chinese food is incredibly varied. You have spicy stuff from sichuan, mild and sweeter stuff from shanghai, meaty and bready almost middle eastern stuff from xinjiang... Yeah you can do your own research on it. But the variety is absolutely incredible, in texture, taste, style and ingredients. A lot of it's very oily, there is a lot of stir fried stuff (involving ingredients and spices you've probably never heard of). But then there's soups, stews, dumplings, noodles, breads... so much. I studied in China and I miss its food.

I'm not American but I can imagine what Americanised chinese food is like, and I'm sure it's fine, but not very authentic. Like Australian chinese food, mostly meat/veges (western veges) in a somewhat viscous sauce. I also think Australian chinese food is delicious, but again, it's not authentic.

Chinese diaspora are in just about every place on earth, and their food is one of their major cultural influences, and changes depending on where you are in the world. Take this pic, I took in a chinese restaurant last year when I was traveling in Bolivia. It was run by Bolivian Chinese people. In Bolivia/South America chinese food is called Chifa (in mandarin, to eat is chīfàn, I assume that's how it got its bastardised name). The meal is pretty much just beef and green capsicum, so the food has evolved into a local bastardisation. Also notice that it has rice AND noodles, you can get one or the other or "mixto". I didn't realise that's what mixto was when I ordered it, but they fucking LOVE carbs in south america.

I would love to see a comparison of "chinese" food all around the world. It's a very interesting topic on how culture/people change and evolve depending on their environment.

I disagre with your assertion, if from a good restaurant then a lot of it is pretty good. I do sometimes like the sauce on the side. Also some places have the "traditional menu" in English which is really good.

Why do you presume that Chinese food is trash yet you proclaim jap food better? Jap food is fucking boring, they love that samurai honor shit but what rock did they hide that honor under when they sneak attacked Pearl as punks for the NAZIs? It didn't work out too well for them did it?

Try out pig ears in chile sauce. That's weird and unexpected, that's kind of why I like it. A decent restaurant can make things that I've never had before and I like it that way.
I think that jap food except for unagi and gyoza is fucking trash so stuff it.

I married a frowning glasses girl and although she's kind of an unintentional asshole, she cooks amazing shit, is fiercely loyal, and keeps thing muddling along regardless of whatever shit situation we find ourselves in. Like for example our bathroom with the tub and shower developed mold and required professional remediation. I was thinking hotel for a week, but she rigged together this gook system of heating hot water on the stove, a bucket of cold water for mixing, and ergonomics of doing this in the 1/2 bath, with a plastic storage bin to capture the water. Did she eventually leverage my $1000+ savings on that for some $200 item, sure, but that's just how shit works when you're dealing with frowning glasses girl. I love her to death.

If you want to marry a gook, you have to appreciate their gook ways. She annoys the shit out of me every day and I annoy the shit out of her. The gook mentality is making half-assed things work and pretending they're a virtue in themselves and therefore great. Which is pretty entertaining, and the best part is when you do the same shit to them. Why would I cheat? I enjoy my life, have banged plenty of whores in my past, and life is fucking great. I enjoy the relentless day-to-day battle that is life with frowning glasses girl and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

As I would say to my wife, “finally something authentic”, to which she would argue its essential inauthenticity. I would point out it was invented by an Asian. She would question the type of Asian. I would apply the same exact questioning to her. Then I’d go on offense, implying Asian-Asian racism on her part and subtly accusing her of devalueing Asian American contributions to culinary arts. Then I’d wait until she’d eaten half of them and then here comes the hypocrisy angle.
