Is this a joke? I heard actual Chinese food is much healthier...with the assumption that they don't put too much steroids in their chicken, which was reported to have happened in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Do they use more MSG in the United States or in China?

Your typical takeout dishes like fried rice/noodles with vegetables and meat or fried meats in sweet/sour/hot sauces are Chinese staples anywhere. You'll find variations of those dishes in any Chinese restaurants around the world, although with their own twist.

All that is safe, entry-level stuff, but if you go to a Chinese restaurant, it's better to order dishes that use less common ingredients. Think of Chinese pickles, bamboo shoots, Chinese greens, seafood, duck or offal instead of chicken breasts, broccoli, carrots, etc. or aromatics other than just the garlic and ginger combination you find in takeout joints. You'll be guaranteed to get authentic food if you order abalone or some dish with black bean sauce.

>but what you've been eating is vastly superior to actual Chinese food.
Like I said, "Americanized" Chinese is just common staples using flavors everyone's already tasted.

MFW when I met this chinese chick from china that has been here in Canada for 2 years and said she never heard of General Tao before trying it here.
MFW when we had lunch at a food court, I took pad thai and she had italian pasta. Saw me eating with chopsticks and said I had better skills eating with chopsticks than her. She admitted she was just lazy and used the spoon for the soup to eat her whole meal most of the time. Top LEL. Felt good.

Virtually everything you eat in a chinese restaurant has authentic roots. But the food is mostly junk food that would be eaten irregularly as well as having been thoroughly localized to ingredients commonly available in the US.

It's common knowledge that the best chinese cuisine is found in chinatowns of western cities. This is due to the communist revolution and subsequent purging of "opulent" chefs, who migrated to western countries.
Chinese food in china still has much of the communist influence, although it is changing.

I had "authentic" chinese and it was one of the worst meals of my life
boiled chicken feet served cold
undressed chopped up jelly fish
fish intestines baked in a clay pot (quite literally the worst thing I have ever eaten in my life. the flavor can be described as musky dick smell from unwashed foreskin, a spongy cake of spoiled fish and poop)
steamed frog, and not just the legs but the entire frogs body chopped up and steamed so you had to eat around the bones to get at the meat, skull and all
rice porridge seasoned with pigs blood

Fuck off you trolling white prig.

The cold chicken leg originated from Thai cuisine which you supposed to taste the hot and sour flavour with the chewy skin texture.

The jelly fish supposed to have a crisp texture with sesame oil and a bit saltiness to bring out the ocean flavour.

Never heard of steamed frog dish, usually either stir fried or well marinated then cooked with rice. The biggest flaw in your lie is you said the skull is included... utter non-sense. For cleaning frogs, the first thing to do is to cut the head off and dispose it. Never heard of serving frog heads at all.

Pig blood is an acquired taste even among Chinese...

op i'm gonna answer your question and try my hardest not to engage with the shitfight in this thread that started because people can't handle gelatinous textures or whatever

if the restaurant you are attending is cooking mostly within the style of one region, they are probably cooking for chinese people and have not adapted their menu to cater to western tastes.

There are popular dishes that nearly every restaurant will serve, but if they mostly stay in their lane they will probably know what they're doing.

you will probably be able to find a few reigonal styles of chinese cooking you really like. a lot of people in this thread are making chinese cooking sound a lot more inaccessible or outre than it actually is.

Most of the food you're eating is schezuan and cantonese. So if you went to Hong Kong, Macao, or Foshan you will be eating exactly what you eat here, only with a bucket more grease added on to it.

Anyone who tells you "Real" Chinese food is healthier, is full of shit. Real Chinese food is greasy as fuck.

But it's more or less the same shit you buy in the US.

Unsure about the northern provinces, those styles of Chinese cuisine aren't too popular overseas since most Chinese immigrants overseas are Cantonese.

The proper taste should be extremely light and delicate, so that you only detect the subtle sweetness of the seafood and crisp, firm texture.

The way that is prepared is not even salty and is usually eaten with ginger/black vinegar.

Most of the Chinese restaurants stuff in the US is pseudo-Chinese food. Just off the top of my head Ma Po Tofu and dumplings are legitimate.
However don't forget that China is HUGE and filled with so many different people and cultures. So yes you will get your moments where you think Americanized chinese food is better but overall real Chinese food is delicious.

It's all true. I know that you're trying to come off as some sort of gourmand but you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Yes all those are important elements of Chinese cuisine and the ideal dish is a balance of all those things but the Chinese are so inept at cooking that nothing ever balances out and one always ends up overpowering the rest. Maybe the cuisine would be better if they stopped following bullshit mysticism and following traditions for the sake of traditions.

There's a lot of things I find annoying about you such as your severe lapses in logic, poor comprehension of English, and social justice warrior attitude but above all else what really ticks me off is that you're so fucking boring.

That has got to be one of the worst attempts at comeback I've ever seen. You're trying to pull off the whole teenage derision angle but it's awful. I understand that Asians aren't exactly the most creative people in the world but fuck that was pathetic. You completely got the whole school and social development thing all wrong.

You went to a shitty place, then. Most housewives who cook frogs generally only serve the legs as the head is removed during the butchering and the body is usually used like a chicken carcass - once the flavor is extracted during the cooking process, it is discarded as the torso really does not contain a large amount of meat and the belief that it may still be unclean from potential parasites or other nasties that may have migrated into the spinal area via the internal organs.

During the early 80's up till pretty much now, anyone who had something to lose in the event that China underwent anything remotely close to another Cultural Revolution collectively noped their way out of China. The late 80's/90's rush also brought a lot of people from Hong Kong, who are generally regarded as the "cultured" Chinese people. Heck, come to think of it, most of the "Chinese" dishes Americans think of are based on Southern/Coastal Chinese cuisine as opposed to Northern and Inland Chinese cuisine.

There are ingredients which found in America due regulations and stuff regarding imported food products/ingredients - small quantities get brought over for 'personal use' or smuggled in.

I got the same vibe but I also get the feeling that Gordon feels more perplexed and angry that we're literally going for extinction event levels of shark fishing for something that we put in a soup that merely adds an interesting texture, thickens the soup a little and a status symbol.

Ginger is more of a 'balancing agent' and an aromatic more often than a spice or herb you want to taste. Which is why it's often sliced finely but rarely minced nor grated in.

>Steamed Seafood
The ginger helps remove some of the 'fishiness' of the fish, while serving as an aromatic during the steaming process.

>Use with previously frozen meats (say, you're stir-frying some defrosted chicken)
Marinating the chicken with a mixture of ginger, white pepper, salt and Chinese cooking wine would help bring back some of the moisture and 'freshness' into the meat while at the same time, removing that odor that frozen foods tend to get after they've been frozen. It's usually rinsed away before the actual marinade is added.

Off the top of my head, I can think of two dishes where the flavor and aroma of ginger plays a big part into the dish:
Ginger Tea - Made from boiled ginger, dried mulberry leaves and Chinese brown candy (brown cane sugar that are set into bricks)
And a steamed chicken recipe - and even that, the overall flavor of the dish is still very, very light.

There's also the precieved medicinal benefits of ginger, where it balances the 'yin and yang', as the belief is that ginger soothes the stomach and sits pretty much in the middle in the Chinese classification of 'hot'-type or 'cold'-type food ingredients.

Where did you buy the bottled water though? There are some places in China where I literally can walk down to a local stream and drink of it and there are other places I have a water testing kit out before I even considering wasting a water purification tablet and time boiling it.

Also, here's something the Chinese do when they travel to far away places - You see, people get used to their environment, which is why Indian people don't get to propel themselves to space when they go to the bathroom after they eat at dirty ass street stalls on the streets of Mumbai while everyone else does. The Chinese call this "Distress brought on by the land and the water in a faraway place", which seems like a mouthful but it's actually just 4 words in Chinese.
To get over this or at least bring your distress to a lower level, the Chinese like to bring some water from home - you dilute the local water with water from your home city and brew some tea or some other hot beverage of your choice. In theory, this should let you acclimate yourself to the local microfauna that lives in the water.

Also, don't use ice from the ice machines or from 'budget' eateries until you're pretty damn sure you're not going to launch yourself to the moon the next time you go take a dump - ice machines are not exactly cleaned regularly, cheap ice vendors may not have a clean source of water for making the ice and both of those may cause 'minor discomfort'

The campus had a supermarket. Water was too heavy to bring back from the Trust Mart off-campus. Bringing water from home is an interesting idea.

Yah...if it's catering to local students, the water might be tapped from less than reputable local sources.

When I was in China (I was 14 back then), all I really had was beer. A mug of beer with breakfast, 2 over lunch and 3 over dinner.

>Pro-tip:
Always, always boil your water in a country where you're iffy about the water quality. At least you know where the water from the tap comes from, but god knows where the water in a bottle came from. Unless you know, it's Evian or Perrier or some shit.

Next time you go, bring some water from home, it doesn't have to be gallons of the stuff. A small bottle of water or two should do fine. Also, I find tea with lemon and honey tends to calm any 'minor discomfort' down for me.

Cabbage is native to Europe.
Carrots are native to the Middle East.
Broccoli is native to China though broccoli as Americans know it is native to Italy (hence the Italian name).

Now, can you imagine Mexican cuisine without onions, garlic, cumin, green onion, chives, leeks etc, peppercorn, cheese and sour cream? Because all the Americas had in terms of allium were ramps and dairy was brought by Europeans.
Point is: all the world benefits when we work with one another, douchebag.
