You need to tell them that you want to eat it like they would eat it.
And be serious about it, they will try to discourage you if they are nice, but when they relent you will be crying like a bitch.

I have done this at places and the cook has actually come out to see me suffer as I keep eating it.

how do I make perfect mapo tofu at home? how do I make yuxiang sauce like in restaurants?

>>8332881

not him obviously

1 day old rice, super heavy iron wok, extreme amounts of heat, wait for the wok to be hot, then put in the oil, then put in the rice. only this way. don't stir, let it crust up, then stir, let it crust up.. repeat until it's crispy enough for you. deglaze with soy sauce or whatever you like. personally I use a combination of hoisin, soy sauce, fish sauce and sriracha for maximum nonauthenticity.

>> No.8335306

>>8335097
Yes. Actual shark fin has no taste at all, it just adds texture to the soup. The flavors come from smoked ham and other ingredients used in the soup stock (chicken or crab usually). If you're in Hong Kong or if there's an Asian market near you, you can pick up bowls of microwavable mock sharks fin soup if you miss the taste.
