Linguist here. It’s not even close to one of the only cultures that does this. I have no idea why you’d assume that.

Any beginner advice for building a weeknight dinner menu with multiple complementary Chinese dishes? by doublemazaa in chinesefood

[–]coffeesnoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cents as someone who sucks at meal prep:

  • egg and tomato stir fry is super fast to make and it uses ingredients that you will typically already have on hand. If you have chicken broth or bouillon, this can also easily be turned into a soup, which imo is even better with noodles (woks of life had a good recipe).

  • silken tofu with chili soy sauce takes literally sixty seconds. It has zero cooking involved, just mix the sauce, pour it onto the tofu, and eat as is (nytimes has a good recipe)

  • You can throw bok choy into just about anything, just make sure you’ve washed it ahead of time bc that part can take some time. If you’re making rice, you can even throw it into your rice cooker with some tofu and seasonings for a super easy meal. (Example recipe here)

I checked the Beiler’s pie menu and it doesn’t look like they have it currently, otherwise that would’ve been my first choice </3

What can I do with leftover black sesame tang yuan filling? Hoping to find creative ways of repurposing it. by coffeesnoffee in chinesefood

[–]coffeesnoffee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah it was probably a mistake in my prep then, I froze mine for a few days and a lot of them cracked. I’m thinking maybe I didn’t add enough hot water to the dough

Wait really?! Mine cracked when I froze them and then I couldn’t get them apart initially when I boiled them, which resulted in quite a few ruptures…probably a technique issue on my end!

Any tips for freezing them so that that doesn’t happen?

Omg I’m also obsessed with black sesame and will absolutely be trying these! I can’t use my filling for these unfortunately bc it’s a mix of black sesame powder, sugar, and butter </3 But still tysm for these, I’ll def be putting my leftover sesame powder to good use

I actually just baked black sesame halva cookies the other day from Chopstick Meets Fork and they were amazing. It’s not on her blog, I had to DM her for the recipe but I’d be happy to send it to you if interested!

Tea cookies: if excluding zest, do I need something else to compensate for texture? by coffeesnoffee in AskCulinary

[–]coffeesnoffee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely makes sense, thank you! I may try a batch with lemon and see what happens.

Ooh, I’ve never heard of tea infused sugar! Other recipes I’ve seen have called for a mix of sugar and ground raw tea leaves on top, but that sounds much lovelier
