  • We are in Chengdu, and its time for some street food!
    We go into this without a clue what we are going for.
    We tried chicken feet, which we were not a fan of...along with some other amazing snacks and finished off with a revisit to durian!

    22:11 They were telling you the price, one yuen for one, not that you need to get a big quantity. The noodle is called DandanMian, literally means "shoulder pole noodles", because in the old days the vendor would carry the cooking utensils on the shoulder with a pole and walk all over town to sell the noodle. It's basically stir fried minced pork with garlic and chili with spices and then pour over the noodle.

    In China and many other Asian countries, chicken feet are considered a famous and popular delicacy. They are appreciated for their unique texture and flavor, and they're actually a pretty healthy snack too, as they contain a lot of collagen.

    1. at3:00 , the food you have ever eaten this in Shanghai (cost 40 yuan), it's just prepared in a different cooking style. |
    the flavour you can call "麻辣",spicy and numbing.
    2. Chicken feet are quite common in China, but you might want to try the local spicy and numbing rabbit head, which is quite distinctive. However, just like when you tried chicken feet, you should be mentally prepared. Don't think too much about it when eating these things; just eat boldly and you'll be fine.
    3. at 20:40 ,that noodle dish is called Dan Dan Noodles, which are quite famous. They are different from Wuhan's Hot Dry Noodles, as they have a richer flavor. Personally, I prefer Dan Dan Noodles, but both types are delicious.The most important part of Dan Dan Noodles is making the 'Saozi', which involves finely chopping the best quality pork hind leg meat, then stir-frying it in hot oil. This is mixed with soy sauce, sesame paste, chili oil, Sichuan pepper powder, minced meat, Sichuan preserved vegetables, bean sprouts, pea shoots, chopped green onions, and mashed garlic to create the final dish. it since 1841 ? i am not sure.
    4. at 22:47 The owner said it's one yuan per skewer. They charge based on the sticks inserted in the food. You can buy a tofu skin; you misunderstood him. It's possible to buy just one.
    5. at 27:44 the boy was pulling a dog ..LOL...

    Also, the crispy pork is unhealthy, basically anything that are extremely delicious is not very healthy🤣

    In Chengdu, you should go to Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li. This is the center of Chengdu, equivalent to Shibuya in Tokyo and Times Square in New York. There are many young people. You should try Chengdu’s Mapo Tofu and twice-cooked pork, which are representatives of Sichuan cuisine. Especially the hotpot should be tasted.

    The "dan dan noodle" you've had is a famous sichuan style noodle. In chengdu, you could also try 钟水饺(seasoned dumpling) , 甜水面(sweet cold noodle),麻婆豆腐. In china, each region has their unique way to cook noodles. The noodles in Chengdu is more in spicy, sweet and numbing. However Xi'an is also a heaven for the noodles lovers but in more spicy and sour type.

  • @psychiisu
    @psychiisu 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +47

    Firstly, the names of authentic Chinese dishes and Western cuisine are typically presented differently. Western dishes, especially formal ones, often list the main ingredients explicitly.
    The first dish is "锅巴虾滑," which includes prawn paste. I remember you've already tried prawn paste twice. Prawn paste is mainly made from shrimp meat, starch, and egg whites. This snack also includes "Guoba," which is essentially "slightly scorched rice."
    The second one is chicken feet. Chicken feet are usually served as a "snack with alcohol" in China because they can be consumed slowly. Chicken feet are rich in collagen, somewhat similar to one layer of pork elbow (not fat). However, besides appearance, another reason why Westerners may not like them is that they contain small bones, which some find inconvenient.
    The third dish is 脆皮五花肉(crispy pork belly.) A whole piece of pork belly is boiled with various seasonings, then cooled and coated with a full-egg batter before deep-frying (it can also be baked in an oven). The reason for using a microwave is for simple reheating. The cucumber on the side is mainly there to cut through the richness. Strictly speaking, it's not considered "healthy" since it involves deep-frying (or baking). For many Westerners, the notion of "healthy" often equates to salads haha.
    The fourth one is 担担面(Dandan noodles.) The recipe is quite simple: noodles, minced meat sauce, peas, scallions, garlic, and seasonings. It might be too spicy for your taste.
    The fifth one, 芝士烤榴莲(cheese-baked durian,) isn't considered a traditional Chinese dish.
    About Xi'an, I won't mention tourist attractions here. Let me tell you about traditional Xi'an snacks. 肉夹馍 (Chinese hamburger), 凉皮/酿皮 (cold noodles), 胡辣汤 (spicy and sour soup with assorted ingredients), and 羊杂 (sheep offal). If you don't understand Chinese, you can match the characters with their translations. Xi'an is known for its noodle-based dishes.
    Regarding Beijing, besides Peking Duck, there isn't much else for you to try. 四季民福's Peking Duck is excellent. There are also two traditional Beijing snacks that you might find "challenging": 豆汁 (fermented mung bean juice) and 炒肝 (stir-fried liver).

    At the noodle place the owner said one stick one yuan, pretty sure you can have as many as you want.😅 Sichian food is famous of the flavor from the numbing pepper, a small round pepper having a special flavor. Once you get used to it, you won’t feel much about its numbing effect aftermaths.

    The first dish you tried, is the same shrimp paste chunks you tried in Shanghai, but cooked differently. It is Guoba Xiahua, guoba is the burned rice at the bottom of the rice pot, and xiahua is the shrimp paste chunks. This one is stirred fried instead of the mala soup you had in Shanghai.
    As for the chicken feet, contrary to western believe, it is not dirty at all, as chicken feet have a layer of web covering them and it is removed before cooking.

    What the noodle you eat is called Dandan noodle. Dandan noodles, a specialty snack from Zigong, Sichuan, China, is named after the traditional method of carrying a pole and calling out to sell goods. The noodles are delicate and smooth, with the main ingredients including red chili oil, sesame paste, minced meat, Sichuan preserved vegetables, crushed peanuts or peanut powder, ground Sichuan peppercorns, red soy sauce, minced garlic, and chopped scallions.
    Legend has it that the dish was created by a Zigong peddler nicknamed Chen Baobao in 1841. As it was initially carried and sold using a carrying pole along the streets, it was named Dandan noodles.

    In China and many countries in Asia, chicken feet and pig feet are considered very delicious foods because they contain too much collagen. Although there is not much meat, you can clearly feel the texture of the meat inside. In addition, these foods are basically It is mainly braised and requires dozens of spices and medicinal materials to cook, so it is generally not cheap.

We typically won't have these as everyday lunch or dinner. So far you've only tried/discovered 30% type of Chinese food. You'd better go into a mall or some good-looking restaurant to order some plates of stir food and a cup of rice, that's what we daily have for dinner and lunch at home.

Fully cocked vegetables and meats soaked in spicy and fresh Chicken soup, one buck(Yuen) one stick. Delicious cold dish, spicy flavored. Some crunchy vegetables are recommended, like tomato, lotus root, GongCai. The last one is Cheese Durain. Someone like it, someone hate it, because of Durain. Food adventure is a nice thing. Can't believe that you tried Chicken feet. Many westerners dislike it. Someone hate the feet, someone hate the texture, someone hate the bones. Maybe you can try lemon-flavor boneless chicken feet. That will be more acceptable for your guys, and not necessary to spit out troublesome bones.

    They will count the number of bamboo sticks afterwards and charge you the respective amount. Usually vegetables are ¥1 per stick and meat might cost a l•bit more.

    The key to making very crispy pork is to make sure it is absolutely dry before roasting. You can actually make that using an air fryer and common ingredients that you can find in your local Asian supermarket or probably Tesco's at the Asian section. The different shades is the marinade that's made its way into the meat.

So you can just try different kinds of durain like musang king. Its not stinky at all and completely changed my view on durian☺

    What you eat in Wuhan is hot dry noodles(热干面), which has a lot of sesame sauce, not spicy but sweet. The Chengdu version is called Dandan noodles(担担面), which add a lot of chili oil and spicy.

    Regarding the Sichuan snack "Dan Dan Noodles" that you eat on the streets of Chengdu, it reminds me that there is actually a UK female writer who can recommend it to you, Fuchsia Dunlop. She came to Chengdu, China, to study in the 1990s and fell in love with the place because of its food. After graduation, she managed to stay in China and studied Chinese cuisine at a cooking school in Sichuan Province. Dandan noodles are one of the foods that made her fall in love with Chengdu and China. If you want to know more about the cultural knowledge of Chinese food, you can read her most famous book in China, "Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper", which records in detail the various delicacies she has tried in the north and south of China over the past few years. I think Following her to see these things from a UK perspective may make you feel more familiar and relatable.

    I laughed almost the whole time and watched the video part of you trying chicken feet. I also know that foreigners are resistant to chicken feet. In fact, after tasting it, you know that its taste is not as terrible as it seems. You just need to overcome some psychological barriers. I'm glad you all have the courage to try. This part is quite interesting.

    Awright . It's good to see a video where you are just holidaying in china and not listening to the western media narrative. Anyway am Chinese born and bred in Scotland. There's a few restaurants in Glasgow that serve these dishes . Jay's BBQ hot pot has the tofu skin . Patrick has many as there's a lot of Chinese students.

    Usually the southern parts of china, their cuisine relies on flavour. That's why you find the dishes flavoursome more than what you tried in the northern regions.

    For the roast pork belly, the trick t get it crispy is to put it in the fridge the night before so it gets all the moist out of the skin. You can put a kitchen towel on top on it. No need for special oven, just a normal oven will do!
