    Depending on what your knowledge of Chinese food is; most of the Western World was introduced to Chinese food via Cantonese Cuisine in the early days through the Chinatowns…a majority of the restaurants/business in these Chinatowns spoke Cantonese. These days, it’s overtaken with latter Mainland Chinese food and Putonghua.

    And it doesn’t take a book to tell you the secret to Cantonese food is the wok and the “wok heat” taste that gets produced from high heat stir frying. Having said this, each region of Chinese Cuisine has their own speciality…

    • What are the chances of a traditional Shanghainese dish appearing in this Amazon cookbook? :)

      • I couldn’t find any good Szechuan recipes… maybe I gave up, but it looked like it wasn’t there

        • It is easy with just a few steps, if you are not pickie:
          1. Get some pork/beef/lamb, shred or dice the meat
          2. Shred/dice some vege (carrot, capsicum, cucumber, mushroom etc)
          3. Stir fry #1 and #2
          ******4. Pour in a pack of "Lee Kum Kee"'s sauce****
          (my favourite is Spicy garlic sauce)

          Enjoy!!

        • Check out this YouTube channel. Wang Gang is my favourite https://youtube.com/channel/UCg0m_Ah8P_MQbnn77-vYnYw

          • @WilliamDGH: Any english versions? Chinese Wang just don't do it for me.

            EDIT just found the english subtitles. He is very informative. Great videos on technique and takes the time to explain the why & how.

        Just put tons of sugar on everything, especially beef, and you will get transitional Shanghainese dishes

    No wheat, wool, lobster, coal, sugar and copper ore are used in these recipes…

      Where’s the beef?

    A few classic local Chinese Take Away staples in there.. Wonton soup, egg drop soup, spring rolls, mapo tofu. Don't know what a "kon tiki bobo ball" is tho.

    MSG (ancient Chinese secret) 😋
    Checked out, a couple of decent looking recipes… really worth $30? Seems like something you’d get in BIGW for $5

      MSG was invented by Japanese.

      • That would explain why ramen tastes so damn good

        • +1

          No it doesn't. The Chinese invented Ramen - brought over to Japan by Chinese Immigrants since many dynasties ago.

          Fun fact: In Japan, they classify Ramen, Gyoza and Cha Han (Fried Rice) as distinct Chinese food whereas everywhere else in the world seems to think these are Japanese food.

          • -2

            @bchliu: he said MSG was invented by Japanese

    • +1

      I don't see enough recipes in this book using it (and when suggested it's marked as 'optional'). People need to get over this fear - MSG is the real secret to Chinese food, and its why your home food doesn't taste like Restaurant / Takeaway. Talk to any asian who cooks and they'll tell you it's a kitchen staple next to the salt.

      • +1

        I’m actually supportive of it, I used to be a skeptic but there’s not enough evidence to actually suggest it causes problems.

        • its a problem to those allergic to it. No harm stating that you use msg if you do. Much harm if they don't state they use msg and someone with allergy to msg happen to eat there.

          • @xoom: That’s true.
            Much like peanuts… god I love a good Chinese-Malay satay chicken.

          • @xoom: Isn't this also a problem with peanut oil etc?

            MSG is naturally occurring in soy sauce. Also in parmesan cheese, tomatoes, it's added to most chicken stocks etc. It's very difficult to avoid.

            If you have an allergy to MSG, you should know which foods contain it, and inform any restaurants that you eat at so they can tell you which dishes contain added MSG.

            • @Keplaffintech: Still no harm for a shop to say they use msg. There's no telling how bad an allergy to anything anyone has. Could be as mild as skin irritation to as bad an not anaphylactic (speeling??) shock.

      • -2

        Sorry but I've eaten (and cooked) plenty of asian-style food without MSG that tasted brilliant. Come to think of it I just realised the only meal I use MSG with is (western) fried chicken LOL. How do I know they didn't use it? Because it gives me bad headaches, excessive thirst, elevated heart rate, and disturbed sleep. I'm not against its use and still eat food containing it. But if someone claims their food tastes much more than slightly less good without it, then going by my own amateur efforts and that of several Chinese/Indonesian folks I know, they mustn't be much of a cook.

        • That's a bit like saying 'I've cooked plenty of asian-style food without Garlic that tasted brilliant'. Yes you can make great food without adding MSG, but it's not going to be the same as what you get in restaurants / take away.

          Also, you've probably used soy sauce and other ingredients that contain MSG in your cooking.

          • -1

            @Keplaffintech: You're wrong. But that's ok. Come to dinner some time. :-) And we weren't talking about soy sauce or the many foods naturally containing trace amounts. It was about adding the extra white powder. (Well I thought that's what was being discussed anyway.)

            • @[Deactivated]: These foods don't contain trace amounts. Learn what MSG tastes like, and you'll soon recognise that many foods have it that you didn't realise.

              Some examples:

              When you consume a 2-tbsp. serving of Parmesan cheese, the total amount of MSG that it contains is 0.05 g, according to the International Food Information Council Foundation. By comparison, breast milk has 0.18 g. The natural MSG found in Parmesan cheese also exists in plants such as tomatoes and mushrooms. A cup of tomato juice has 0.83 g; mushrooms provide 0.09 g per 1/4 cup.

          • @BargainDemon: GAH, can’t… unwatch

        • Is this supposed to mean something? (I get the impression it's meant to be like a Weird Al Yankovic thing?)

          Anyway…. as she ran across the road a picture of a truck slamming into her and dragging her off screen came to me.

      But on the other hand in China if it more expensive it must be better and I must have it.

        Classic Asian mentality. Expensive = Good

        Must look like successful salary man in front of everyone else. Are they really that vain ?

  • get a good wok and huge arse fire. make the difference. my fried rice tastes amazing now.

  • I really enjoyed this youtube channel for learning Chinese foods cooking in a Chinese restaurant in Japan.
    Not tutorials at all but learnt alot from watching their various videos.

    Yum yum. Thanks OP.

  • How often do the recipes change?

  • +3

    I could still remember the top dishes ordered after having worked at a busy chinese restaurant years ago.
    1. Special fried rice.
    2. Chicken chow mein
    3. Honey chicken
    4. Sweet and sour pork
    5. Chicken sweet corn soup
    6. Mongolian lamb
    7. Salt & pepper squid
    8. Honey King prawns
    9. Wonton Long/Short soup

    • +1

      All dishes largely invented by chinese immigrants for the western palate. You don't really see most of these in China. Authentic regional dishes are a lot more interesting in my humble opinion. A lot less gloopy, sweet, one-dimensional stuff. Thankfully these days, in large cities at least, you can find more authentic and even regionally focused Chinese restaurants.

    This book should be called "The Ultimate Foodcourt Chinese Cookbook"

    Ingredient #1: Iron Ore

  • +2

    Their mapo tofu is missing the traditional beef mince, they say it’s a vegetarian version and yet they use chicken stock….

    This book will not teach you to cook real Chinese food. Read anything by Fuchsia Dunlop. She is the real deal, having learnt the language, studied cooking in China, and written the best books to teach a Western audience.
