What do Chinese eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but only as about 30 to 40% of their diet, maximum. Some water dragons aren't that fond of veggies. Refer to iguana salad recipes to prepare proper vegetable food for water dragons. Many of the vegetables humans like most are not good choices for reptiles.

Water dragons are omnivores, but they eat mostly animal matter, and should be fed live insects, baby mice (frozen and thawed out is fine), nightcrawler worms, and strips of tilapia fish (fresh is best, freezing creates thiaminase). Do not rely on just one type of food--variety is essential for health. Food should be lightly dusted with calcium powder.

Hatchling water dragons are unlikely to eat food that isn't moving. Once they are a year old, they begin to become more adventurous about their food, and it's a good time to start offering more vegetable foods and pre-killed foods.

What in a substitute for msg in spring rolls?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

== == Interesting question -- MSG itself is flavorless; it merely enhances the flavors in other ingredients. As such, the simplest answer to this question is... salt. Salt also has no flavor, per se, and "wakes up" your taste buds so that they experience more of the food's flavor. There are also companies that produce substitutions (see http://www.newstarget.com/021518.html) but nothing particularly popular. Depending on the recipe, salty additives like soy sauce (make sure it's MSG-free, which it often isn't), Worcestershire sauce, etc., can help.

When added to almost to any food, MSG is not flavorless. The Japansese have found a new sense of taste called unami, and MSG will often enhance food by adding this meaty flavor to it. So use meat bases if you want to achieve a similar result.

MSG is Mono-Sodium-Glutamate, usually produced commercially by bacteria. It is converted by saliva to Sodium, (Table Salt) and Glutamate, the anionic form of Glutamic acid. Aside from the flavour enhancement of the Sodium, it is the Glutamate that gives the Unami taste provided by MSG. By itself it has a subtle salty,savoury taste, that is only fully registered when combined with other food. Unami is a true taste registered by the tongue, not a flavour. As a taste unami is best described as savoury or meaty.

Glutamate and Glutamic acid are naturally occurring amino acids present in a large range of foods. It is free Glutamate that provides the unami taste They are most concentrated in sharp cheeses (like Parmesan), yeast and yeast extracts, anchovies, fermented fish sauce (and hence Worcestershire sauce), fermented bean products (hence soy sauce), sea-weed/vegtables and savory mushrooms (like Shiitaki). Tomatoes also contain reasonable amounts, which in the quantities of a tomato sauce, have a strong unami taste.

All meat products will have some unami taste because of their high protein content. As an all-purpose substitute, fermented fish sauce is the best substitute. In the small quantities needed as a flavour enhancer it contributes little extra flavour to a dish other than the desired unami taste. It also contributes salt to the dish. Worcestershire sauce does much the same with a more complex flavour.

Soy sauce is best for Asian dishes.

Parmesan cheese for pastas and other Italian/Western cooking.

Tomato and Shiitaki mushrooms can play roles although they are not as ubiquitous in use as MSG or its concentrated substitutes.

If you want to avoid adding Glutamate altogether, remembering that it is a part of all proteins in every living cell, both plant and animal, you can focus on the other taste and mouthfeel aspects to mask the lack of unami in your dish. Taste wise you can:

* Add more salt to make you dish saltier. * Add more sugar, honey or caramel etc... to make it sweeter. * Add more lemon or fruit juice, tamarind, vinegar or wine to make it more acidic. * Note: Bitter and alkaline flavours aren't usually desirable but lime juice can give a very nice bitter tang and Bi-Carb Soda is sometimes used in food for its flavour.

Or introduce other mouthfeel elements such as: * Pepper and chilis to add spicy heat * Alcohol (strong spirits) to add warmth * Mint (menthol) to add a cooling sensation

* Szechwan pepper to add a mouth-numbing sensation

What can be used as a substitue for cornstarch in a Chinese recipe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rice flour (not ground rice) works as a substitute for cornstarch. Both rice flour and cornstarch (cornflour) can be used to thicken stews and sauces as well as in baking. Rice flour is used in traditional shortbread recipes, but some shortbread recipes call for cornflour. Either ingredient gives an attractive texture to shortbread biscuits.

What is the difference between Korean food and Chinese food?

User Avatar

Asked by Futurezooowner

(Note: I refer to real Japanese and Chinese food, not the bastardized versions found in America and Europe)

This question is a tough one to answer because China is huge and its cuisine can differ from area to area.

For the most part, because of Japan's geography, it's primary source of meat is fish (from the sea) and pork (from the mountains). On the other hand, the main source of meat in China is Pork. Due to its large amounts of land, the fish eaten in china is also more often freshwater fish than saltwater fish. Raw fish (sashimi) is eaten extensively in Japan. While it is not unheard of in China, it is not eaten nearly as often as it is in Japan, and is often reserved for special occasions. For example, Yu Sheng, a Chinese fish salad, is often enjoyed during the Lunar New Year.

Japanese cuisine tends to have more subtle flavours which enhance the natural flavours of the ingredients while Chinese cuisine tends to have stronger flavours. The exception is cantonese cuisine which tends to have lighter flavours. This is most evident in the cultures' choice of condiments. In Japan, the five basic condiments, from which most Japanese sauces are made, are salt, sake, mirin, shoyu (soy sauce) and dashi (fish or kelp stock), all of which are light in flavour. Chinese condiments on the other hand can range from lightly flavoured ones similar to the Japanese ones to stronger condiments like bean paste, oyster sauce (a Chinese brown sauce) and fermented beancurd paste. Also, while citrus flavours are more prevalant in Japanese cooking, they are rarely present in Chinese cooking. Both cultures, however, use citrus fruits in candies and dessert.

The Chinese were the first to create noodles. While in Japan, there are only 3 main types of noodles (udon, soba and ramen), there are as many types noodles in China. The Chinese have a category of foods known as Main Shi, or dough foods, meaning food made from dough. This type of food is thought to have originated from northern China and is termed as such because the same type of dough is used to make a variety of noodles and dumplings which form the staple diet of northern China. While gyoza dumplings or potstickers (known as jiaozi(if boiled) or guo tie(when pan fried) in China) can also be found in Japan, the Japanese do not categorise it together with its noodles. You could think of Mian Shi as the Chinese equivalent of pasta.

Foreign influence has also played a part in both countries' cuisines. In Japan, a lot of its food was brought in by foreigners. Some examples are Tempura (from the Portuguese), Korokke (or croquettes, from the french), ramen (from the Chinese) and curry (from the british). The Japanese have also adapted other cuisines to suit their taste, creating dishes like Mentaiko (Cod roe) pasta, and Unagi (eel) pizza. The popularity of beef in Japan is also the result of foreign influence. The Chinese on the other hand, have been more resilient to foreign influence though influence from middle eastern and mongolian cuisine can be found in some parts of china, mostly due to its proximity to other countries in some of its areas.

Japanese cuisine can be designed to be eaten alone(Bento for example) or communally(Shabu Shabu hotpot). Chinese cuisine on the other hand, with the exception of 1 dish meals (like noodle soup or fried rice) is almost always eaten communally. Individual plating in Chinese cuisine was almost unheard of until recently.

Formalities and etiquette wise, there are some minor differences in Japanese and Chinese Cuisine. Chopsticks in China for example are placed perpendicular to the edge of the table while Chopsticks in Japan are placed parallel to the edge of the table. In Japan, slurping of noodles is a sign of appreciation for the chef whereas in China, slurping is frowned upon. In Japan, many will shout "itadakimasu" (thanking the origin of the food, the Shinto equivalent of saying grace, while in China, it is customary to ask ones elders to eat first before one eats.

There are many more differences between both cuisines. I encourage you to try both to find out.

===========================================================================

It is quite hard to distinguish a Japanese and Chinese foods, since there are lots of similarity between the two. They both are rice based and usually uses tofu and soy sauce. But, Japanese foods are light in stomach.

Why are Chinese people so cruel to dogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the past, the Chinese did not have a very comfortable relationship with dogs and cats. Due to certain circumstances, they resorted to cats and dogs as food source. Many tradition beliefs believe that dog meat is good for the body.

Keep in mind that this represents only a minority of the Chinese. The amount of dogs and cats eaten is far less than the entire population of China. Additionally, many of us eat animals that are taboo to some cultures (ex. cattle in India, pork in the Middle East) so we should learn to respect cultural differences.
