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.

An Ode to Cornbread:

Cornbread’s a staple in southern cuisine,

A comfort food present when suppers convene.

Cornbread is hallowed down south –sacred stuff.

Those boxed jiffy mixes just aren’t up to snuff.

It’s whipped up from scratch, or it ain’t the real deal—

Buttermilk, eggs and a heapin’ of meal.

Please don’t use sugar! No, sir. That would kill it.

The batter is poured in a hot, cast iron skillet.

When it’s all golden-brown, nice and crisp on the edges,

It’s pulled from the oven and cut into wedges.

Cornbread can also be muffins or sticks.

It complements many good things that we fix.

Cornbread’s a must with a big mess of greens,

It makes a good “pusher” for field peas or beans,

And I’m tellin’ you, you can use it to sop

The pot likker still on your plate---every drop!

Leftover cornbread gets eaten real soon---

Crumbled in milk, in a glass, with a spoon!

When Thanksgiving comes, cornbread’s more of a blessing

Cause down here, we use it to make yummy dressing!

There are all sorts of foods in the world one can eat,

But I’m cornbread-fed and my life’s pretty sweet

Znojmo beef. An extra plate for the ancestors at Koleda. Also the first use of this table runner based off of two patterns from a 1970s Czechoslovakian embroidery book.

Zjonmo is the district that my great-grandparents emigrated from.

Literally white pepper is too spicy for me sometimes

My condolences 😔

#fun fact I'm actually extremely picky when it comes to pepper #and I think a lot of western cuisine has a very poor understanding of how to handle it properly #I don't think I ever use pepper alone #always in combination with other spices

QUICK AND EASY 3 INGREDIENTS SWISS ROSTI POTATO

Rösti is a Swiss dish made from grated potatoes, typically pan-fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It originated in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, Bern, but it is now popular throughout Switzerland and to the world. Originally, rösti was a breakfast dish for farmers in the canton of Bern, but it has since become a staple in Swiss cuisine and is enjoyed as a side…

Breakfast foods in China

Since arriving in China my typical breakfast has changed quite a lot (hello baozi and mung bean paste!) so I decided to explore some common local breakfast foods eaten in China!

包子 - Bāozi (my love) These have been an almost consistent (excluding the lunar new year when the canteens and most cafes and restaurants closed) staple of my breakfast ever since I arrived in China. They come with several fillings such as veggie, pork, seafood etc. and they can cooked in different ways such as being steamed, fried etc. Here's a more in-depth post about the types of dumplings and bāo.

粥 - Porridge (zhōu) I sometimes have porridge for lunch instead and it's a really filling meal. I get the Century Egg Congee with Chicken - 皮蛋瘦肉粥 (Pídàn shòu ròu zhōu) and it's one of my all time favourite meals.

煎饼 - Egg pancake (jiānbing) Popular also as a street food, this is a thin crepe type pancake with an egg, veggie, spice, sauce and sometimes meat filling. The actual filling varies as you can customize what veggies and spice level you'd like and whether or not you want meat.

热干面 - Hot and dry noodles (règānmiàn) I honestly had no idea about this dishes existence until a while ago, probably because it's a regional dish originating from Wuhan which is kind of far away from my location. These are spicy and dried noodles which are actually eaten without a broth unlike many other noodles. They seem pretty interesting so if anyone tried them before do share your experience!

桂林米粉 - Guilin Rice noodles (guìlín mĭfĕn) This appears to be another regional dish from Guilin, Guanxi as I had no idea that this was a also a pretty popular breakfast dish. Apparently it's not the noodles but rather the broth that they're cooked in that makes them special, with the actual recepie varying across the region. Someone should do a long weekend trip vlog (pondering on this) to Guilin where they just go from store to store trying these noodles and trying to determine the differences.

葱油饼 - Scallion oil pancake (cōngyŏubĭng) A tasty but heavy-ish pancake imo. These pancakes are cooked with scallions (green onion) and pan-fried to give it that crispy and chewy texture. Very tasty, but it's a little too heavy on the oil for me so I save these pancakes for special occasions instead.

豆浆油条 - Soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks (dòujiāng yóutiáo) I have tried the dough sticks, and I have tried soya milk but separately so far. The dough sticks are these long deep-friend dough sticks, reminding me slightly of breadsticks but more lighter and chewier.

茶鸡蛋 - Tea eggs (chájīdàn) I adore these, my canteen serves them along with regular eggs for breakfast and the tea eggs are usually the first to go. They actually don't really involve tea, instead these eggs are cooked in a mixture of chinese five-spice powder (pepper, cloves, cinnamon, star anise and fennel seeds), soy sauce, and black tea leaves, although some recipes leave out the tea leaves. They have a relatively strong smell so I usually grab some for breakfast on the weekends or in the canteen at lunch if there are any leftover after breakfast. They are also quite cheap, one egg is around 2 yuan so around 0.30 euro, making them a pretty filling and affordable breakfast food.

If there are any other common or specific breakfast foods that you know of, do share them please as I love trying out new things!

i feel like my TRUE dream job would be a tour guide for my home state tbh

i met a tour guide in iceland (and stayed in touch via social media) and i loved how he was excited to show us all some hidden gems and talk about his home country and i’m like... “i want to do something like that for my home state”

but no one ever comes to nebraska!! only to the big cities and leave or worse - just drive thru or fly over the state cause it’s  b o r i n g

#aside from the politics i promise nebraska is worth a visit #there's so much to see and do outside omaha/lincoln and interstate 80 #the sandhills are beautiful to behold!! western neb is a total different landscape than eastern neb!! #lots of state parks and historical monuments to check out!! #delicious foods to try even have international cuisines!! #also there's nothing wrong with visiting the cities. there is plenty to see and do there! but it is def worth exploring rest of nebraska #i've traveled around neb plenty of times and there's still always something new to for me to explore #i need to visit western neb more. i've only been to fort robinson and chimney rock/scottsbluff areas #want to check out toadstool state park & agate fossil beds. AND just for curiosity's sake... carhenge lol #just to say i've been there and seen that #ALSO!! nebraska does this passport thing each year. basically its filled with places to visit and get a stamp from there #and submit your passport by end of the year to win neat prizes depending on how many stamps collected #don't mind sakizm

more ppl should eat offal tbh bc if you can force your brain to bridge the modern day western gap between meat and animals/get over "but its gross!" most types of offal are so fucking good, unique, uniquely nutritious, and otherwise thrown out as waste. for no good reason

#all meat is gross- organ meat is not any More gross by virtue of being uncommon in modern western cuisine #just feasted on some gizzards for one whole single dollar #every time i make gizzards i want to eat a pound of gizzards and have to stop myself #bc i dont want to overdo the iron consumption #my favorite kinds of offal rn are beef tongue and chicken gizzards #but i went through a liver phase for a while #YES most of these are just good fried but I honest to god cant help myself and eat some gizzards after simmering w/ salt every time #the author speaks #to be fair a lot of offal can be high in cholesterol and so it's not good to eat in mass amounts obviously #but what a waste! #while i was in korea i tried intestine for the first time too #and i liked it so much i went on my birthday to a specialty place that did mostly intestine #best thing i ever did i was drunk and in heaven
