Bao - Chinese steamed buns (pork for Maximum Joy)

Image : http://www.flickr.com

Bao is a delicious sweet, hard bread, with a consistency somewhere between a dumpling and donuts. There is something transcendent, when char siu (barbecued meat) bao, and is filled with pieces of pork, highly seasoned salt glazing.

Bao (pasta)

1 tablespoon active dry yeast or 1 sachet of instant yeast
1 cup hot water
1 / 4 cup sugar
4 1 / 2 cups flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 / 2 cup boiling waterWater

As usual, if you active dry yeast (and should) turn first to swim with the hot water and sugar and let stand for about 10 minutes to the Big Blog O'Gak to the surface. Then more food into the food processor (or, if you are very dedicated, a bowl) and process or mix and knead until smooth. If you use instant yeast terrible, just throw it all together and mix as above.

Then put a little 'oil in the grounda clean bowl, dough and roll it around until it is coated and somewhere to get warm, or cover with a damp cloth or sitting next to a pot of water to keep moist, for 1 hour.

Now take a piece of dough the size of a kiwi (can think of nothing but the right size), and press into a thin circle on a floured surface - it should be about 3.5 cm in diameter. Here's the thing you have to decide what to do with it.

If youchar siu bao in the will, put a heaping tablespoon of pork mixture of a pretty wet glass in the middle (I would recommend roasting garlic, some chopped shallots and pork chops, roasted until the meat is a good slosh of soy, some 'sugar and 5-spice, a bit' of water and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is a thick sauce), then start to bend the edges with your fingers and thumb - BAO, up to a lot around the mixture of meat.

Once you are pleated all the wayaround the edge, you are left (hopefully) you go with a form of purse money - only the pinch pleats along the top to seal it. Probably a nice final fill with some salsa and squeeze a bit '- do not worry. I know that and I have a website and everything.

If you go to the bao to maintain a simple sandwich, just off the table the sweep circle with sesame oil and fold it in half. Sesame oil contains the two parts glued together so it's a bag that can hold things like deliciousat a later date. Normally I have a lot of pork prepared glass (actually a lie, I forgot a rule and knock-out of a lot of pork glazed at the last minute, just before the dough is finished rising) leave, bao fill as many as possible then the rest of the bread as well for the future filling.

Once each node is either filled or pleated and oiled and folded, placed on a square of oiled foil. What is to say a phrase. oiled foil. Just do not ruin the film oiled. With the ground.

In any case, allBAO on baking sheet and put them in a warm place to rise for another hour. Then steam for 10 minutes, after which companies go from soft and squidgy and slightly tough, and unbelievably delicious. I use a steamer pan-top, which is right on top of a normal pan of boiling water - saves space and costs. It 's a bit small for Bao-making as it is only space for 4 at a time, but we tend to eat every game as if they do and do it well start a meal. BothBAO already filled, or when they can simply because they are frozen in a really low with no loss of texture and taste.

When you are ready to use it only to remove from the freezer about an hour before (or even a little 'less), and steam again for 10 minutes. That the heat all the way through the filling quite well. Another very practical thing to go in the freezer.

So, this is bao. My freezer holds another 7 roll excess, ready and waiting to be filled with lovely things (Itried to salsa before freeze the rest and it went surprisingly well - perhaps a new discovery fusion cuisine). The recipe usually makes about 16 rolls all said it was for me this time. And, of course, the bags could with all sorts of different things to fill - has many possibilities.

The stand of the Chinese noodle Spring Garden Lane

Image : http://www.flickr.com

It 'a long time since I ate in one of the stalls Noodle Spring Garden Road, Hong Kong, Iceland, but the experience is one I will treasure all my life.

The food vendors are, what people call the Cantonese "Dai Pai Dong" and are made of wood kitchens, where to eat and sit at a table, but as a table and a chair.

The food stalls are painted green and have a tin roof to keep before the tropical sun and rain. They are constructedfour small wheels, as some have said he passed a regulation, must be mobile. However, the wheels are set in a set of concrete blocks, so that would not go anywhere. And the food stalls have the power to supply electricity to it connected a phone to take orders and durable.

The Chinese cook makes everything into a pot-sized food giant in the middle of the barn, with a kerosene burner roaring below. Throw into the mix and indredientswith a cutting edge and 2 feet long chopsticks cook ... Then pots wuntun for noodles and soup in large bowl placed in front of you.

My favorite food was my doing, a steaming bowl of soup noodles with Chinese Wun Tun wun - steamed dumplings with minced shrimp or beef.

You can even tell the chef what kind of pasta you want, just to remember. The selection includes usully bright yellow egg noodles, white superfine rice vermicelliPasta, wheat noodles thick brown or even white hor fun noodles (thick strips of hand-cut rice noodles).

Living there as a local Gwai Lo (which means "foreign devil") for many years I was reluctant to eat in a Dai Pai Dong for a long time. They seemed so cruel. But once I overcame my initial discomfort, I found the food was fantastic and cheap, and their hygiene was aiming high, too.

You can always ask the cook to rinse your bowl and chopsticks for the first in boiling waterEat. They do it all the time for the people and not be offended.

Oh, you can use chopsticks, you can not? Are no knives and forks. I suggest you learn to use chopsticks at first to try a noodle stall road.

If you really do not make it to Hong Kong for the experience, there is Asian food stalls around the Far East, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia as well. But you should really try somewhere between these wonderful places.You will not regret!

Getting Started About Hot Hot Pot - because the local people so steamed Chinese Up Get Over Your Food

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province. Chongqing used to the capital and was the capital of China during most of World War II. E 'was made a municipality in 1997 and is therefore a completely separate entity to buy. The rivalry between the two cities has no limits.

If you really want to upset the locals, start a discussion on the origins of the most famous dish of this area - Sichuan hot pot. Both cities lay their claims.

Chongqing is probably the. Prevail food sold by street vendors - a favorite of boat trackers working hard to be warm intestines popular beef dish is registered as. These boats are strong people pulled up the river - several hundred to a team when dragging ships - in the days of sail. The date of the pot a little 'back.

"What is hot pot?" Ask

Sichuan hot pot is placed a pot of boiling broth on a central table. A number of ingredients are then brought to the table andThe guest cook themselves. The broth can be a warehouse or a simple burning hot broth. Many restaurants offer a dish that is divided into two parts so you can have both.

And 'the chilli oil which is a spicy stew, so if you try I do not like a lot of heat, not to have too much oil
if you draw the food ..

Sichuan hot pot is a great social court correctly popular in winter - or to defend against moisture in the air. Drink the brothas well as eating the contents. It will be a very tasty and healthy soup.

What are the ingredients?

Normally, it is possible ingredients from a list (and I've never seen a list in English - then you must
some help here) or by collecting them from the shelves. I like the system of that as anyone can participate. Each ingredient is on sticks, so that each bar has the same value. The total bill makes it very easy.

The flesh should be savedcool and not to flaunt. These are always chosen from a list. Be sure to have chicken and pork for a long enough time to cook.

I love quail eggs and all the different types of mushrooms. Potato, taro and lotus root are out delicious infused with all the other flavors. Even the tofu is not one of my favorites, very familiar. Try the crispy tofu skin - and only cook for a few seconds. I personally am not a big fan of cooked chicken - although makes the best broth

It 'best to avoid a mixture of fish or seafood with red meat. You just have to put vegetables in the pan after the meat is ready, and after everyone has enjoyed the broth. Although the green vegetable broth made from a delicious cooked in essence, give them taste bitter chemicals and other foods to spoil the broth.

If you learn more about Chinese food, check out my food in China> Power lead. This provides background information and recommended more than 60 dishes. I have included a useful reference sheets for these dishes for you to take on the road. A sheet is common ingredients for Sichuan hot pot.

By the way, gentlemen, probably the most beautiful girl in Chongqing, western China, together with those to the east of Suzhou. Local people can become very hot on this topic.

As someone who suffers from recurrent headache, we know that the only thing you want to avoid more than anything else, meets with a headache with their own shares.

Although it may seem a little cliché, "the more you know, the more you can make a conscious effort to avoid the miserable throbbing in the head.

the standard trigger, such as weather changes, or your normal sleep disturbed side will bring you food and drinks can alsoThe causes of headaches.

Chemical Release: nitrates and tyramine

Tyramine and nitrates are a 1-2 punch when it comes to set the headaches. Tyramine is the worst of the two authors.

Both are life found in many foods every day, probably part of your own. Some of these foods are:

Liver (well, can not be part of your daily diet!)
Red Wine
Chocolate
Soy sauce
Yogurt
Sour cream
Old cheese
Vinegar, includingare the ingredients, the vinegar as an ingredient

Food Additives: monosodium glutamate

MSG is a flavor enhancer commonly used. Experts estimate that over 20,000 tons of MSG to our foods are added each year. Many of us are familiar with MSG found in Chinese food, but also:

toasted walnuts
edited by soups, sauces and condiments
Mayonnaise
Frozen Food
Chips

Stomach is a commonComplaint of people who are sensitive to MSG - so that foods that are more Chinese restaurants or MSG-free, or offer options without MSG on their menu.

But for others, the ingestion of MSG is a recipe for a headache.

Bar-hopping headache =

Another common trigger for headaches is alcohol. While in some cases this is due to tyramine, as already mentioned, is the presence of alcohol effectson your body. Alcohol, a bit 'of champagne or wine, cocktails and liquors, dry and dehydration can cause headaches very seriously - even for those who do not regularly deal with headaches. The worst triggers, but brandy and red wine. I never drink red wine - just a sip or two to send me to bed for the night with a cold cloth on his forehead.

Rather than the usual suspects

There are other foods that can triggerHeadache, but not really a good way to categorize them. Some of the usual suspects are:

Milk and other dairy products
Seafood
Wheat and soy products
foods high in fat
Citrus fruits such as oranges or grapefruit
artificial sweeteners.

Even a high consumption of vitamin supplements can give you a doozy of a headache, especially vitamins A and B. Just because they're good for you does not mean they can not hurt.

Caffeine should remainOr should he go

Caffeine is an interesting puzzle. particular specific remedies such as Excedrin Migraine headache - it can cause headaches, is also found in many headache remedies.

Think of it as too much caffeine that cause headaches. Drinking too much coffee or cola, or eating too much chocolate may cause headaches.

But ... She is a heavy drinker of coffee or cola, and attempt to shorten, or go to "fix" without your too long,Headaches can have a caffeine-withdrawal as well.

No chocolate, no coffee, no Chinese food? No Fun!

After looking at the list of trigger foods, it certainly can be avoided, it seems, as many of the foods you enjoy are on the list of things you have.

If you really enjoy the food, just remember that it is likely to trigger headaches, and be prepared. Often, this is a headache makes it a bit 'easier to managewith as if it comes out of nowhere.

If you make a deliberate attempt to turn the food we live without, it is possible that there are a total of fewer headaches.
