I’m not sure. I rarely bought beef tbh. I usually get chicken, pork, and fish. The pork in Taiwan is pretty good imo. And in a lot of dishes like the chili, I suspect you won’t really taste that much of a difference with all those other ingredients.
Oh man…you’ve been out of the loop for a moment. Yea I guess you could ask around but start with the restaurant folks first. But then you also have to take into account the gas lines in the US. They don’t pipe out gas at the same level. So now you have to get a plumber to come in refit your gas line for it. Can be done but so many small variables to account for.
I am firmly out of the loop. It’s probably better to think of me as Taiwanese But my neighbor did it, and she’s hardly rich or anything. But she did have a restaurant.
I feel like all Cantonese people have one in the US. All of my Cantonese friends had one of those strong stove for woks in their garage or somewhere they can vent the air outside.
I tried making dumpling in the states and the pork you buy there, even from Chinese markets, are terrible. Too lean and so tastes dry. Cut of pork makes a HUGE difference.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat half of the olive oil over med-high heat and lightly brown the chicken, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and sauté the mushrooms and green onion until the mushrooms are browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. (These mushrooms didn’t brown much)
I never had much pork in Australia
Living in Taiwan gave me the impression pork is kinda the poor man’s meat
but my dad who dislikes pork said it was better in Taiwan
All of these sound great. Yesterday I made lamb kofta with hummus, tzatziki, cassava flour tortillas. I’ve got some chickpeas left so I think I’ll make chana masala tonight.
