I think the only thing I never could get with with Chinese cooking is the excessivbe amount of dishes glossed up or thickened with that cornflour/water gloop. And the heavy saltiness, yeah.
― Silent Hedgehogs (Trayce), Monday, 5 September 2011 23:51 (fourteen years ago)
some of the pictures are a little too 'colorful' but it does look that way irl! one of the criteria chinese chefs are judged on is 'color' (strangely enough)
― dayo, Monday, 5 September 2011 23:51 (fourteen years ago)
the cornflour/water goop is a sign of cantonese cooking. the shiny stuff you're seeing in these pictures is oil (lol).

Laurel, it's mochi (is it mochi?) filled with sweet sesame seed paste.
― Leee, Lord of Wtfomgham (Leee), Tuesday, 6 September 2011 01:15 (fourteen years ago)
Knowing that it's sesame seed-based helps...slightly.

It's a universal auto-replace. When you say word DUMPLINGS! the universe chimes along with you.

this is cross posted from the cookbooks thread but:
Can anyone recommend a book or coobkook that is as comprehensive of an overview of Chinese cuisines as is possible? I had my eye on "All Under Heaven" by Carolyn Phillips and "China: The Cookbook" by Kei Lum Chan and Diora Fong Chan but idk what else is out there
