SLC23-W3 // "Chinese Cuisine"

Hello everyone.. Welcome to the third week of the global cooking course. And this time we will make a very popular Chinese dish in the world. Now let's get started!!

Have you ever tried Chinese food? What Chinese food is available in your local places?

I once made a Chinese dish some time ago. The dish is called "Lo mein". This dish is made from noodles with a base of wheat flour. Then cooked with vegetables and usually added with meat and shrimp.

I like Chinese food because some of the ingredients used and the way of cooking are almost the same as our traditional dishes.

Some Chinese dishes that are available in my area for example DIM SUM, PANGSIT noodles, Peking Duck, Kwi Tiaw, and many others. The Chinese dishes that I mentioned are very popular dishes in Indonesia. The taste and texture are very much in accordance with our taste.

I prepared this special dish for my family's dinner at home. My daughter really likes this Kung Pao Chicken recipe because it tastes delicious and very tasty.

What is your favorite family recipe from Chinese cuisine that you make by combining local species?

I often make dishes based on chicken. This is my family's favorite dish. Then I really like to use vegetables, ginger and soy sauce in my dishes. I think these ingredients are similar to Chinese cuisine.

In addition, I like dishes with a slightly spicy taste and have a strong aroma. So I often use chili and garlic in whatever I make, and this is also my favorite.

I think this recipe is almost the same as the ingredients and recipes that are often used in Chinese cuisine. And this will be a harmonious combination of Chinese cuisine with local cuisine in my area.

---

What difficulties did you face while making the recipe?

Actually, it is not too difficult to prepare this dish. However, I had a little difficulty when preparing all the ingredients. You can see that I have to prepare all the ingredients in large quantities. I have to go to the market to buy some ingredients because not all of them are available in the kitchen.

Then I have to be careful when marinating the chicken so that the results are good and cook faster when cooked. I think this is a bit more difficult than making local dishes that use simpler ingredients.

But I feel satisfied because I can complete all these tasks without facing too much difficulty.

This is the end of my percentage on this dish, thank you.
