I’m gay btw, if that matters.

>>11838800

>>11838829
what is that?

>>11838831
intestine.

>>11838842
ew

>>11838852
exectly.

>>11838852
exactly.

>>11838842

How do you eat intestine? I had it once and it was like impossible to eat basically kinda meaty tasting gum. I just swallowed big chunks of it after chewing on it for a min or two and it not separating.

>>11838866
roasted. Pic related Greek easter dish called kokoretsi. That's intestines on the exterior.

>>11838800

>>11838866
It wasn't prepared correctly. When done right it's chewy but still soft. It also has an interesting sweet taste which I really like.

>>11838997
is that all noodle?

>>11838800
Mapo Tofu.

Genetal Tso's baybeeeee, again n again

>>11839980
Why do you retards think this joke is funny?

>>11839963
I've got to make some, but I couldn't find the special spicy shit last time I tried. What do?
>it's a bowl of spicy protein
10000x better than fucking endless piles of noodles.

Shui zhu yu (sichuan boiled fish). Never order fish at a restaurant because I can just catch some myself and it'll be fresher and tastier, except when it's this dish.

Meicaikourou

Are there any good Chinese dishes I can make that use ingredients I can find at flyover grocery stores?

>>11838800
Where i live there was a massive Chinese inmigration in 19th century so there are restaurants in every corner of my city.

I fucking love the Chow Mein.

>>11838800
Tomato and egg. An amazingly simple dish. One of the few Chinese dishes I can make myself.

>>11840255

they're good on everything, anon, just dry cook in a pan until aromatic and mortar&pestle them

>>11838866

My dad cooks pork intestines Hong Kong style. He stuffs them with some green onions and ginger and broils on High until crispy.


I don't even think he uses oil.

>>11838800
I like how the chinese use their eggplant, taiwanese and sichuan especially.

Fung Jou or Steamed chicken feet with black bean

is the FUCKIN BEST part of Dim Sum.
If you grew up eating it at least..

It's like a chinese chicharron chicken wing.

If you aren't a pussy, you should really try it c:

>authentic chinese
wanna know how I know yall be hipster faggots?

>>11840993
Chicken feet is a gelatinous mess though, you might as well be eating foreskin you fag.

>>11839901
It's somewhat like a noodle, but made by steaming flattened dough and then slicing it. Unlike most noodles it's served cold and without soup.

>>11838800
I totally fuck with those sweet and spicy cucumbers

>>11840976
Xi’an style tho

>>11838800
other than shengjian I couldn't get any decent wu food in Shanghai. the best food I got was some sheep soup and noodles from out west

>>11838800
For me it's golden corral, the best authentic oriental food.

Twice-cooked pork with either bamboo shoots or cabbage, lots of white rice, and some wonton soup on the side

Are you making yourself known by using the same image everytime for your threads on chinese food? This is like the 3rd one

I think Chinese and French cuisine are similar, lots of long braises in their meats and a focus on the richness of food using oil/butter. Mostly the provincial stuff, not the "modernist" french cuisine.

>>11839963
Based.

Also zhajiangmian. There aren't many dishes that I can say that I could eat every single day, but this is definitely one of them.

>>11839963
westernized mapo tofu desu, its supposed to be covered in hot oil

>>11839963
that kinda looks like my shit, just make the tofu a bit more brown and there you go!

>>11841277
My absolute nigga

I eat that almost every week

Spent 3 years in the mainland
suan cai yu is usually a safe bet. It's usually pretty tasty even in a shitty restaurant and doesn't give diarrhea.
Second choice : da pan ji is absolute kino. It needs to be in a decent restaurent though or the meat will be mostly bones which is a pain in the ass

>>11840993
I'm not crazy about black bean, I've had chicken with black bean sauce a few times and I found the flavor to be too coffee like

the chinese restaurant where I live only has sugary americanized crap. what can I ask for that might not be on the menu that's some kind of spicy garlic pork?

>>11838800
I like the honey chicken pretty well

>>11838888
Why do you call it Adelphia in the file name?

>>11841963
Something like "Szechuan shredded pork" maybe

>>11843103
is that the one with wood ear mushrooms?

>>11843117
I'm not sure what the takeout places use exactly

I got Chinese beef noodle soup today where the meat parts came uncooked. There were these little spiny looking things with the beef, what are those?

>>11840974
That sounds pretty fucking tasty, man.

>>11843699
how can dump tubes sound appetizing?

>>11843722
Have you had them?

>>11843688
pic related? if so; tripe

>>11843741
yeah it actually did kinda look like that but just individual strips. Wow, I had no idea I was eating tripe. The idea of eating tripe is pretty revolting to me but those were pretty small at least

>>11843751
beef is beef but I don't personally get tripe because I'm not a huge fan of the texture.

>>11838800
>What are your favorite authentic Chinese dishes?
danhuatang
Egg soup. So simple. So tasty

>>11843756
yeah it was visually unappealing. I didn't ask for tripe, I didn't even know it came with it. But it's less intimidating in little strips than in big chunks

>>11843767
Chinese cooking has an appreciation for textures that Western cooking does not, such as the weird springy-chewiness of tendon or tripe. Acclimating yourself to it so you can enjoy a whole other world of cuisine is a worthy goal

>>11843771
I actually don't mind the texture, it's just that it's stomach. I think it would have a gaminess to it if it were a larger part of the dish

Man I live in Chinatown and there is a wonderful grocer at the foot of my street.
Gonna pick up some Chinese cooking wine and try to make something tasty, thanks for the inspo.

>>11843792
>inspo
This is an 18+ website, kiddo.

>go to an actual chinese restaurant
>order combination beef lo mein
>order comes
>it's a fucking soup
All these years I've been lied to. All their shit is steamed

>>11843796
idk dude I've seen the word inspo used on 4chan for over a decade, if you like I can dig up some circa 2008 /fa/ threads that come to mind.
good job fitting in though, you're convincing all of the cool kids

>>11843786
You have eaten worse in the average sasage than mere stomach.

>>11838829
>>11838888
Oy vey. Intestines are very unappetizing. Why do you think they could be somehow appealing, what reasons are behind dishes like those?

>>11843800
Or, you know, you could just use the word 'inspiration' like a big boy.

>>11843811
>reeee don't type in short hand on the internet
sorry kiddo my keyboard is broken so I'll type however is convenient
if you stick around this site you'll see we aren't always bound by real world spelling and grammar conventions, sweet summer child

>>11840899
SF fag?

>>11843817
Apparently your comma and period keys are broken.

>>11840993
I tried making them but I overcooked the chicken feet and as a result all the soft tissue fell off the bone and created something like the aftermath of The Blob. Very unappetizing.

>>11838800
I love:
>Cold tripe and beef tendon (the one with chili oil and peanuts and cilantro and shit)
>Mapo tofu
>Water boiled fish
>Mei cai kou rou (pork belly with suan cai)
>Liangpi
>Dan dan noodles
>Lamb dumplings
>Big plate chicken
>Congee with pork and century egg

I love Northern and Western food, really hearty and spicy shit, but honestly I like it all

>>11840899
That looks like it was made by wypipo

Newborn mice (San Zhi Er) are eaten alive with chopsticks and served in a spicy sauce. They are called “three squeaks babies” because they would scream three times: the first time when they are grabbed with the chopsticks, the second time when they are dipped in the sauce and the third final squeak inside the mouth of the customer.

>>11838800
ching chong! me like food wing long!

>>11844937
So you eat their shit too?

>>11844937
Barbaric

>>11844860
>Mei cai kou rou

>>11838866
You forgot your knife and fork huh whiteboi?

>>11843833
Why do you insist on doubling down when it comes to being a complete faggot?

Potato and duck stew (tudou dun ya), Hubei style.

Beef, Bitter Melon, and Pineapple Stirfry

>>11846448
Also I don't think chinese people get to claim authenticity over anything. As long as the cook is east asian looking and claims it's chinese it's authentic.

In the Chaoyang district in Beijing there is an underground cafeteria. There is a stall where they serve "chipped" noodles. Instead of being long and thin these noodles are thick and short kind of like a chinese gnocchi. They serve it with tender beef in a oily brothy soup with medium spice. You get a giant bowl of these noodles plus a bowl of rice for 30 rmb. I still think about it from time to time.

For me, its the General Tso's.

>>11843808
What reasons are behind dishes like intestines in hot oil? Its because of necessity. You have to eat the entire animal because meat can be scarce. Best way to make something unappealing taste good is put a shitload of hot chili oil and green onions on it.

>>11838888
Kokoretsi is decent. I had it in Greece multiple times. I dont love the taste of liver but its good for what it is. It doesnt taste as gross as it sounds, however I wouldnt be able to eat more than a piece or two.

When I was in greece I told my greek brother that I wanted to try it, so he ordered two full plates of it for some reason. I only ate like 3 pieces to be polite.

>>11838800

>>11841427
The only real difference in western mapo tofu is that it uses Jap style tofu, which is lower on water content than chink tofu.
Think cottage cheese vs velveeta.
