Your advice

I want to share the info I've read in Japanese Books (mainly self-help books, motivational, sometimes random) and write them in this blog (In Japanese), adding the translation to the difficult words. Would that be something interesting for some of you?

Or should I just do it on a different blog and keep this mainly for vocab?

Help me reach a decision!

Types of dumplings in China

Prior to my arrival to China, I only knew about wonton and jiaozi, which I assumed to similar to pelmeni.

As it turned out, there is no end to the variations of dumplings, so here are some of the most common dumplings in China that I've come across so far!

饺子 - jiǎozi These are thin veggie or meat filled dumplings, and they can be steamed, boiled or fried but I've only tried the steamed variety so far which is pretty tasty. They somewhat resemble pelmeni, but the tast is noticeably different.

馄饨 - húntún (wonton) These dumplings are similar to jiǎozi but thinner and they're usually eaten in soup.

生煎包 - shēngjiānbāo These are slightly crispy, fried dumplings usually with a pork-filling。

锅贴 - guōtiē These dumplings are the crispy-ish type, deep-fried and steamed with various fillings like veggies and meat.

水饺 - shuǐjiǎo They're quite similar to the 锅贴, but these dumplings are boiled (note the 水) without the frying.

小笼包 - xiǎolóngbāo These are steamed buns, usually filled pork but they can also have other fillings like veggies and seafood.

Honourary mentions： These aren't dumplings, but they're adjacent enough imo.

肉包子 - ròubāozi These are biggish steamed buns with a meat filling. I have these for breakfast and they're really good.

菜包子 - càibāozi Same as the ròubāozi, but with veggies and also pretty tasty.

If I missed any, let me know which ones as I'm always looking to try new things!

stop asian hate

long before the chinese exclusion act in 1882, there has always been hate towards asians in the U.S. since covid, the amount of hatred asians have had to face had surged and asian hate crimes have risen in the past years. According to NBC News, the hate crimes have risen 339% compared to 2020. i hope those who feel superior and racist towards asians wake up and realize that they have no right to hate someone and harass, commit crimes against, and bully people purely based off their race. the world is an ugly place, but it doesn’t have to be. i hope they realize that no good will come from hating on asians, and the racism in the U.S. needs to end. i pray for those who have been victims of the hate crimes and that there will be a time in the future when we can all be accepting and loving of one another while not ignoring the fact that we are different, but embracing it and living in peace.

a reminder that j*p is a racial slur in english. if you're trying to abbreviate for japan in english, go with jpn. if you're trying to abbreviate for japanese (the language), go with jpns.

i know that a lot of ppl who use english online are not native english speakers, so you might not have this knowledge--trying to save ppl from being perceived as racist when you just didnt have the knowledge

10.12.23

We ended up skipping the sewing day yesterday because I was feeling shitty. My stomach tried to kill me a little bit, so I had to lay down with the bottle of hot water over it instead of doing anything useful. I did the economics practice exam later in the evening though, when the pills finally kicked in.

Today we spent around 5 hours in the studio aaaand… still didn’t finish. We’re going to try our best tomorrow to wrap it up in two hours. Hopefully, we will be successful.

Also, I finally went to the place my friend was suggesting me to try, and got myself some soup for take-out. It was definitely worth it, probably gonna go there again 🍱🍜🥟

Desserts in China

There's quite a large variety of treats and desserts in China (more than you can imagine), so here are some of the most common ones!

Almond jelly/tofu - 杏仁豆腐 - xìngréndòufu Despite the name, almond jelly doesn't actually have almonds in it. Almond jelly is made from gelatin and almond milk, although some recepies use dairy milk instead.

Glutinous rice balls - 汤圆 - tāngyuán These rice balls are made from glutinous rice balls with a sweet filling, such as red bean paste (a pretty popular filling in desserts, I've been fooled more than once when purchasing what I assumed to be a chocolate filled pastry).

Red bean buns - 豆沙包 - dòushābāo One of my favorite desserts so far. These are steamed buns with a sweet red bean paste filling that I'd definitely recommend.

Egg custard bun - 流沙包 - liúshābāo A sweet and savory bun, with a lava-like egg yolk filling. A pretty interesting dessert, as it's both sweet and savory.

Pumpkin cake - 南瓜饼 - nánguābǐng I haven't tried this yet, but it definitely looks good. A fried and crunchy cake with a sweet filling such as red bean paste.

Eight treasure rice pudding - 八宝饭 -bābǎofàn This is a pretty popular dessert, especially during the Lunar New Year. It gets this name becase of the toppings, which are eight or more different types of dried fruits and nuts arranged on top of the sweet rice, with (once again) red bean paste.

Hawthorn stick/ Candied Haws/ Sugar coated haws/ Bingtanghulu - 冰糖葫芦 - bīngtánghúlu This treat has quite a few translations and you may have probably already seen it. This is basically candied fruit covered with a sweet, crunchy and sugary syrup. Traditionally, Hawthorn is used but other fruits such as grapes, strawberries and oranges are also popular options.

Sachima - 沙琪玛 - shāqímǎ I haven't tried this snack yet, but it looks quite fascinating. Sachima is made from fried batter stuck together with a sugary syrup, with an interesting texture.

Sesame balls - 芝麻球 - zhīmaqiú Similar to the rice glutinous balls, this treat is also made from glutinous rice flour with varying fillings including lotus seeds, mung bean and red beans, and sesame seeds.

Water chestnut cake A sweet pan-fried cake made from chinese water chestnut, with a unique semi-transparent appearance.

Wintermelon puff/ Wife cake/ Sweetheartcake - 老婆餅 - lǎopóbǐng This cake has many names, mainly because it has several different origin stories, each more fascinating than the next. This dessert is a flaky pastry with wintermelon, almond (not red bean this time!) paste and sesame filling.

Fortune cake - 发糕 - fāgāo Not a fortune cookie! This is a spongy steamed cupcake cake commonly made for the New Lunar Year celebrations and occasionally other events. They're usually a white-ish or brown-ish color, but they're often dyed bright colors to add extra festivity.

Mooncake - 月饼 - yuèbǐng This is a pretty well-known dessert, commonly prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes are smallish steamd/fried (depends on the region) cakes with a sweet filling that can also sometimes have an egg yolk inside.

Osmanthus cake - 桂花糕 - guìhuāgāo This is a unique traditional pastry made from glutinous rice flour, honey and osmanthus. This cake has a really interesting texture, as it's quite dense but also airy in a way? I'd definitely recommend trying it, as it's not super sweet and goes really well with tea.

Let's study Japanese Scripts!

I dropped learning Japanese for 6ish months my Hiragana reading remained unaffected but I have mostly forgetten my Katakana other than some basic ァ、イ、ウ、エ、オ. So, I wanted to make a series of posts where anyone who is either completely new to Japanese or just wants to brush up their Katakana reading can use it as a practice.

I'll be tagging all of the posts with #studying katakana so you can directly filter it through that also :)

A few things about this series -

1. I'll put 10 katakana words with their hiragana counterparts, so it'll be easier to read/understand people.

2. I will put the explanation in English (and the where originally the word has been taken from) under a text break, so don't worry if you don't know Hiragana.

3. This is purely a reading (and ig writing for me) practice, I'm not saying this is a guide to learn Katakana, but I am hoping that this would help people get better at reading.

4. This will not include Kanji. I'll probably make a whole different series for that one :))

はい、はじめましょう！

meaning: okay, let's start!

pronunciation/romanji: ha-i, ha-ji-me-ma-sho-u
