What's your favorite dish and why is it Moo shu pork?

Moo shu pork is low risk. It's nutritious. It's good for me. It's the perfect way to start the day.

Hot and sour soup never disappoints, also.

[Anonymous No.15539102]

>>15538784
extra spicy general tsos chicken with white rice or lo mein depending on the day, but always with order of crab rangoons.

>Mapo Tofu

This is goat.

[Anonymous No.15539139]

>>15539107
yes mapo tofu is the best chinese dish you can find at any chinese resturant. When its actually at a sichuan restaurant, its even better.

When this dish ever on your local Great Wall's menu though?

[Anonymous No.15539232]

>>15539213
you ask for it, they know how to make it, they ALL KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT and if they dont you dont fucking eat there

every chinese restaurant can make actual chinese food if you know what to ask for

For me I think it’s the Hunan Beef (S. 7) extra spicy.

[Anonymous No.15539256]

Love me some orange chicken or seafood fried rice.

[Anonymous No.15539262]

Anybody else like to make seitan the traditional Chinese way? I find the texture to be far superior to seitan made using processed wheat gluten, and you can even make some cool noodles with the leftover wheat starch!

[Anonymous No.15539289]

Yall niggas need some sichuan hot pot.

That's a funny way to say「紅燒牛肉麵」

[Anonymous No.15539309]

>>15539213
its 119. Its literally right there.

[Anonymous No.15539664]

>>15538784
For me its Orange Chicken with brown rice

[Anonymous No.15539728]

Sweet and sour pork (if their sauce is brown not bright red), almond fried chicken, pork fried rice.

[Anonymous No.15539737]

>>15538784
I'm not brave enough to get anything other than General Tso's because Chinese chicken is terrible unless it's fried. Any recommendations?

>>15539213
This recipe list looks almost exactly like the one I just picked up from the new chinese restaurant in my town, at least in regards to formatting

C17

Shrimp egg foo young combo.

>Used to go to Chinese joint in rural South 30 years ago
>Buffet, but really small. Like 8 dishes egg rolls and sugar doughnuts
>One was pork egg foo young
>Absolute perfection with roast pork gravy
>Had Chinese NYC, East Coast, West Coast, nothing beat this little Chinese joint that prided itself on a few dishes
>Great dish to see if the Chinese joint is good

I wish! Would love to find a good hotpot

[Anonymous No.15539937]

Well I'll be damned.

Authentic chinese is my favorite cuisine in the world except maybe thai but I'm more interested in chinese. I love all things dim sum, sichuan beef noodle soups, peking duck, definitely more that I'm forgetting

[Anonymous No.15540311]

>>15538847
they nailed that aesthetic

>>15539107
my grandfather used to make this growing up, it's always been very dear to my heart

>>15539289
I've never had hotpot at the restaurant itself. I've ordered hotpot to go but at that point it's basically malatang

>>15539294
this guy gets it. especially the spicy kinds from sichuan. a local hole in the wall place near me makes their own noodles and it's my favorite chinese food to get

>>15539814
that sounds wholesome anon. I'm an authentic snob but I love american chinese food when it's done well at old school places

Got some Cantonese Chow Mein from my local Chinese place. It was delicious

[Anonymous No.15540367]

>Made my own takeout with some Golden Curry roux cubes

Brehs... the fuck. This shit is dynamite.

[Anonymous No.15540372]

>>15538784
I like the typical Americanized Chinese food and that hot and sour soup with the egg drop and mushrooms. I don’t think I’d like traditional Chinese dishes though, looks too oily.

>Live up inna mountain
>Chinese joints are bad here
>One Buffet is subpar
>One Standard takeout place
>Two quasi Chinese/Jap places that do neither great
>Buffet's takeout/delivery goes to hell during fauxvid
>Order from standard takeout place to try it
>Kids want noodles, so do I
>Pupu platter, sesame chicken, mongolian beef, pork egg foo young, and house special chow mein for family style
>Chow mein was chop suey with white rice
>Terrible chop suey on top of that
>Everything else was really good surprisingly
>Has happened before at different place

What the fuck? I've ordered chow mein fun and gotten good noodles but chow mein constantly means chop suey in takeouts.

>>15540367
that's not chinese food you retard

[Anonymous No.15540593]

>>15540387
for some reason this ambiguity is common among american chinese restaurants. not sure why

[Anonymous No.15540619]

>>15540387
Ive gotten burned by this before, I just order lo mein cause its safer.

>grandfather made
Im jealous my gramps didnt know how to cook any traditional food. But we always went to a trad chinese place when he was still around for get togethers. The old fuck was racist as shit too and would bemoan the mexicans while we ate mapo and salt and pepper fish

rip

[Anonymous No.15541704]

give me some recommendations for something good to order from my local chinese joint, i'm tired of orange chicken

[Anonymous No.15541784]

>>15541704
Order >>15539294 if they have it. It's usually sold as "Beef Noodle Soup" or minor variations of the name on English menus.
