So'ne grundlegende Chinesisierung bzw. Hunanisierung ist ja von innen gut gegen alle Malaisen. Örks.

#chinesefood

On the second night in the snowy city, we stumbled upon the outpost of St. Marks’ Sichuan Mountain House in Hell’s Kitchen. Chinese Consulate is seriously pulling good restaurants into Midtown.

Right at the door:
— Kitchen is closing in 15 minutes.

The host managed to say this not in a rude or obnoxious way but quite friendly and light.

Honestly, we were grateful — it was the only place opened in the neighborhood in this blizzard.

Finally, after all the trips to various Sichuan restaurants, I got my favorite Chongqing chicken. I first tried it in Chengdu, made it a few times at home. But every time we go out here, my companions pick something else.

I know, I know — you’re not supposed to eat these peppers. But they are my favorite part: spicy, salty, crunchy, tasty after rubbing backs with chicken pieces in hot fat, numbing mixed up with Sichuan peppercorns. The best!

Nice garlicky eggplant, perfect wontons in chili oil. And tea, tea, tea! Amazing tea in a teapot to warm up the hands after a walk in the cold!

Our check arrived with two after dinner mints. So good they were, I asked for a couple of more and got a handful for the road. Nice! Thank you!

Spicy cauliflower stir-fry with added tofu

I don’t understand all the ins and outs of Chinese cooking (such a big country with many regional cuisines) but I do know that I like Pixian Doubanjiang, a fermented broad bean, soy bean and chilli seasoning that adds a lot of umami and spiciness. It’s not as sweet as Gochujang (the Korean kind of equivalent) but just as spicy.

This recipe from Omnivores Cookbook makes use of it and after adding some tofu slices to the cauliflower it worked perfectly as a main dish on a meatless Monday:

Egg fried rice with ginger scallion soup for today’s lunch. #chinesefood #ビバ丼
#ChineseFood 、 #FoodTrade 、 #GlobalFlavors …

Decided to be extra and blow torch my homemade fried rice for a bit of a taste of home.

Stoves outside SE & E Asia simply don’t get hot enough for me
