Chinese Food

Most Chinese people are not Christian, so most of them don't celebrate Christmas.

Christmas for most Chinese is just a normal day.

Additional information There are over 70 million Christians in China, they celebrate Christmas in a quiet way because most of them are members of house churches, which are illegal in China. So they would not want a holiday celebration to draw attention to them.

rice was made in china and ot is made of nothing it is grown from a seed

This question is about as reasonable as asking, "How do you cook American food?"

The answer is the same: many different ways.

Chinese cuisine is one of the oldest (if not THE oldest) on the planet. It has evolved for thousands of years. Chinese chefs who used to cook for the Emperors had to come up with a new recipe - often more - every single day, so he wouldn't have to eat the same thing twice unless he insisted on it. Some chefs became the Emperor's "pets," but others lost their heads for failing to please his palate. The "pets," like Sheherazade and her stories, had to keep coming up with winning dishes every day - or else. Must have been rough. But it really increased the development of a voluminous, unique and highly varied cuisine.

China is a HUGE country. The cuisines of the different areas are often as different as night and day - some loaded with hot peppers, others bland; rice is the most commonly eaten food, and is served with virtually every meal, except in the northern areas, where they lean more on wheat. You have to simply try samples of the different cuisines to decide which is your favorite.

The Chinese invented the wok and the bamboo steamer, and you can't really do justice to their cuisines unless you have one of each. A very large frypan with as little flat bottom as possible can be almost as good as a wok, and any steamer you can buy commercially will steam Chinese foods, too. The bamboo steamer simply allows you to steam a larger quantity and variety of foods all at once, because it is several "stories" high. You can fill each level with a different kind of food. A wok is a very large frypan with very high sides and no flatness at the bottom, and it has handles on two sides. Often you set it on a ring, so it won't wobble. This enables you to stirfry small quantities in VERY hot oil, then slide them up on the walls while you cook something else - and often later they're all mixed together again. The actual part that does most of the cooking is the bottom inch or two of the wok. The sides may cook a little bit, but are usually used to keep food warm. For the ancient Chinese, who were often poor, and wood and other fuels scarce, the wok is very energy efficient.

Chinese food is almost never baked - except very modern recipes - because the Chinese never had ovens until modern times. Many other cultures - even ancient ones - had developed some kind of oven, but the Chinese didn't - probably the scarcity of fuel and the poverty had a role to play there. A wood-fired oven uses a lot of wood to bake.

The actual cooking of Chinese food usually takes very little time (with exceptions, of course). The largest amount of time is preparing the ingredients. Everything must be ready to go before you even turn on the stove. Woks work best if you can get a VERY high flame. Electric cooking elements get hotter than gas usually does, though it is the high flame which is traditional, and often does make some differences. It frustrates me that so many modern gas stoves don't give the option of this very high flame. Professional stoves do. But you can cook delicious Chinese food anyway.

There are many cooking methods, red cooked meats, braised meats, etc. But by far the most common methods are stirfrying and steaming. They also specialize in very wonderful soups, where the veggies are crisp-tender instead of sodden.

Chinese food - again due to the poverty - is heavy on plant foods, mostly veggies, and uses meats mostly as a secondary ingredient. Meat is expensive; veggies aren't. For this reason, Chinese food is often healthier than our own cuisine, even if it does have almost as much fats and oils. But with more veggies and less protein, people often complain that Chinese and other oriental foods don't "stick to the ribs," and you get hungry again too soon. You can, of course, increase the meat, poultry or seafood, or even add one of these to an all-veggie dish.

Chinese cooks are extremely conscious of the final product - they want a finished dish to have mixtures of tastes, textures (crispy, soft, etc.) and colors. How the dish looks when it is served is of great importance to them. Even the way things are cut up adds to this aesthetic requirement. Some dishes, which have nuts on top are often made that way to keep the dish from having a one-texture quality to it - the nuts add some crunch.

Stirfrying has a huge advantage. The nutrients in foods, particularly veggies, are not boiled out and wasted. In addition, stirfrying cooks veggies in VERY hot oil, while you stir them rapidly. They are not cooked till mushy or scorched, but are removed when they are what you might regard as sort of halfway done - tender, but still retaining some of the crispness of the veggies. This is one thing that makes their cuisine so special. And it isn't difficult at ALL to learn. The most important thing to remember is to cut up ALL the veggies before you begin cooking, and each type must be cut into pieces of uniform size. This is important, to insure they'll all be cooked perfectly at the same time, because stirfry cooking is done quickly. Sometimes veggie types are cooked separately; other times together. If together, you always stirfry the ones that take longest to cook first, and go down the line to the ones which cook up fastest. Line up your dishes of prepared, cut veggies in the order you'll use them.

You can practice stirfry in an ordinary frying pan. Try heating some oil very hot, then adding uniform sized chunks of a veggie, like broccoli, bell peppers, etc. Stir them vigorously, keep them moving until you can see they are getting tender (they might shrink a bit) - taste a piece. If it's still slightly crunchy, yet tender, you did it right. Season it to taste, or use Chinese seasonings.

Then you can go on to try other adventurous Chinese recipes. One of my favorites is eggrolls or spring rolls, but they take a LOT of time to prepare. Worth it, though.

Chop suey is an American/Chinese dish, not a traditional one, but it is made in a way similar to many classic Chinese recipes. Dim Sum is very popular. It isn't just one dish, but a variety of tasty tidbits, all different - a kind of Chinese version of appetizers or canapes, but not like canapes you know. It's often rolled out on a cart, like a dessert cart, in restaurants, and you can pick the ones you want. You can find dozens of dim sum recipes online.

Seasonings are highly varied, but one of the most classic combinations is fresh minced garlic, finely-minced fresh ginger root (after it's peeled), sherry or rice wine, and soy sauce (never use a cheap brand - Kikkoman may not be as good as some in China, but it's the best I've found in the Western Hemisphere.) These four seasonings are extremely common, and the taste is distinctly Oriental. When a mixture has a liquid that needs thickening into a gravy, cornstarch and water are always used; flour and water give you a cloudy gravy, while cornstarch and water turn the liquid thick and glossy - very appetizing. And you can SEE the ingredients. I'm rather fond of sweet and sour pork - where the pork cubes are coated with cornstarch and fried crispy, then served with a sauce that has a strong acid (like vinegar) and something sweet (pineapple is common, but I don't like them, so I use substitutes.) The sauce is pungent with fumes that smell wonderful. You dip your crispy pork pieces in this sauce. Yum.

I once found a recipe for Peking Duck that requires a bicycle pump! You blow up the duck's skin with it and seal it so it's like a balloon. Then you marinate it and hang it up for days before you bake it. It's the crispy skin that everyone craves, so you have to be sure to divvy it up evenly. My grandmother always said "a duck is too much for one, not enough for two," so plan your duck meals accordingly! Not ALL Chinese food is either quick or easy to prepare, but most isn't all that hard.

As long as you have the ingredients for a Chinese recipe, and if the recipe is a good one, with clear instructions, and you follow it carefully, you shouldn't have trouble cooking Chinese foods. Just be sure to prepare all ingredients properly and have everything ready before you begin cooking. Always read the recipe through before you start to cook, to make sure you know precisely what to do and how and when. The cooking processes are usually fairly fast.

Hope this helps?

It's just like cooking in other cuisines. Listed below are some of the ways of the Chinese cooking method: 1. Stir-frying 2. Deep-frying 3. Shallow-frying 4. Braising 6. Boiling 7. Steaming 6. Roasting Mott 32 (mott32.com/) is one of my favorite, their style of cooking is just amazing, Chef Fung is awesome. Maybe it is also one of the reason why I love eating there.

The Chinese are reputed to eat "anything on four legs except a table and anything with wings except an aeroplane".

However, the average Chinese do not eat meat very often. Most of the time it is rice and vegetables.

There are five types of Chinese cooking. Some areas of China serve food with rice. Some serve food with wheat noodles.

This is a really great dish that consists of oyster and soy sauce that simmers with the chicken, shrimp, beef tenderloin and some delicious vegetables.

Yes, especially if a lot of oil is used in frying it. Oil has a LOT of calories (9 per gram.)

The rice is also simple carbohydrate with a high glycemic index; it creates a lot of energy fast, but most of this can't be used -- so it gets stored as fat.

Chinese style food service is similar to our Western "family style." A large platter or bowl of food is placed in the middle of the table, and it is passed around to everyone to take some food from. The Chinese traditionally serve a cold appetizer first, then soup, then the main course.

But Chinese food style is different also as compared to American or western food style in some manners. Their dining table height is half of that of present American or Western dining tables. They sit on the ground on a mat. And also guest sat at the first seat (at the seat of the head family member) for dining.

Yes, there are parts of China that eat dogs. Dog eating is generally regionally restricted to several parts of China, such as Guangdong and some Northern provinces. However, this is falling out of practise because an increasing amount of Chinese see dogs solely as pets.

Dog meat, on the other hand, is illegal in Hong Kong, and is heavily punishable.

They are a culture that learned long ago the importance of eating for survival. Unlike the Phogons or that other fleeting culture, the Sporgs.

It varies from year to year, of course, but over the last 15 years, China's rice production has ranged from 112 million metric tons to as much as 140 million metric tons.

The English word "pie" is from Middle English but has no confirmed origin.

There are a lot of factors to consider and a set number is not possible. It all depends on how many tables, how many decks in play, how many shifts, and how many drinks are spilled on the cards. Let us assume a casino has 10 Blackjack tables, eight of them have a four deck shoe and two are single deck. They also have one Three Card Poker table and one Let It Ride table, and that all the tables are open 24 hrs, seven days a week. Let us also assume that there are no mishaps such as spilled drinks and that there is continuous play on all the tables. In single deck games the cards are normally changed every two to three hours and when shoes are used the cards are changed at the start of every shift, in this example the singles will change every two hours. Thus, 8 X 4 X 3 =96 + 12 X 4 = 144

it is not exactly popular it is just a traditional food there

The climate there is perfect for growing ricer. Rice is one of the only things they can grow there and there is barley enough fertile soil to grow it there. the rice farmers at the rice paddies (where they grow rice) had to carve in to the hills to grow the rice because of the lack of farmland.

There is an enormous Buddhist temple just outside Wollongong, the second city of the state of New South Wales. This not only serves the Chinese and Vietnamese religious population, but is a tourist magnet even for mainstream Australians. There are also many small Taoist and Chinese Buddhist temples all over the main cities of Australia.

China is not the only source for Buddhism in Australia, but it is noteworthy that Professor Maddox of the Macquarie University says that in Australia, Buddhism is the most attractive religion for Western converts. She says that the growth in Muslim numbers could be explained by immigration and natural increase, but the increase in the number of Buddhists could only be explained by conversion.

It is the Peking duck. People like to eat the Peking duck.

But chow mein is more widely famous. "Chow" means to stir-fry quickly in a little oil, like in a wok. "Mein" is a chinese word for noodles. Chow mein is just stir-fried noodles (and a little meat, veggies, & sauce).

It's only recommended to the Australian's ideas so that they either love it or hate it. This is a survey for Australian people (person who was born in Australia) not the cultural people.
