This is X-treme Chinese Cooking. X-citing, X-otic and X-traordinary.
Chinese cooking is noisy - a multitasking activity that requires constant vigilance. There is no downtime.
So when I do Chinese cooking, I mix everything together, then the kids have to eat their vegetables. They won't have the patience to pick them out.
I really like gross Chinese things.
I want to take Chinese cooking to the next level and bury the takeaway mentality.
I like using Pat Chun in several ways but the most common one is to pair with tomatoes and Chinese preserved olives because of its sweet taste. I turn it into a sort of Chinese balsamic.
Chinese sausage, which is widely available from Asian grocers and online, is sweet, rich, and enticingly smoky. I add it to steamed rice with strips of omelette and a few baby veg stir-fried with soy.
Soy sauce is really a multi-purpose seasoning.
