DSCF6627 2 Importance of Steam Cooking Method In Chinese Tradition.
I know one researcher on some documentary about today's problem of farmers in China talked about this too. It used to be mostly steaming over one fire/heat source, rice then vegetables and a little meat maybe. That was the way and that was sustainable and so on - but modern changes took away this method - etc. He basically said tradition had it best sustainable and most nutritional - make sense way - of cooking and eating. [* I wonder when Michael Pollan wrote 'eat like Japanese or Chinese' (in Sunday NYTimes magazine while ago) - he meant this. Or he may not be aware of the role of steaming method in Chinese tradition? Need to recheck. ] And here it is. Narrated beautifully by someone who grew up in China - and came to USA - and speaks both language Cantonese, I assume and English. [And you know what. We can ask all this to Jack and Hakee and Linus and everyone has those Chinese background - and they get English very well. We can even expand this enquiry into Thai (magenta, eco!, smart way of cooking) and Singapore (MicaMonkey!) We will do that bit by bit with creativity - (using Youtube? also? possible!) We can check how geographically spread and so on!] Similar posts: canola cooking oil free mobile cooking games cooking mama 2 dinner pizza cooking temp lets get cooking cooking a 12 pound turkey online fun cooking games pasta cooking tips cooking with mama online |
