The Best Chinese cuisine
 
Let's share the best Chinese cuisine you ever have^^

My choice--"bo zai fan" (i.e.cooking rice in a pot with meat, fish or
chinese sausages on top, a traditional way of cooking )

It's like heave. the meat juice is totally absorbed by the rice.

The best way of eating rice, and the best Chinese cuisine I ever have!!

If this dish is really "like heave", the projectile-vomit-person who
posts here might like it, but it might not have much wider appeal.

But if it's "like heaven", well then yes, please share.

The recipe should tell the tale.

The OP is referring to the simplest kind of home cooking that you
seldom find in cookbooks. You make something up that just needs
steaming or heating, and put it on top of the rice after you've
brought the rice to a boil and let some of the water boil away. About
the time the water has reached the top of the rice you put on your
topping, cover the pot tightly, turn down the heat and let it finish
cooking.

Best known example, known to all Chinese grandmothers, is to get some
lop cheung -- small Chinese sausages -- and slice them into bite-sized
pieces on the diagonal, and put them on the rice. That's the
recipe. I've occasionally added some sliced gai lon to that.

Another one from my family is to make a seasoned ground meat mixture
much like what you might use for meatballs. For example, mix together
ground pork, salt and white pepper, minced garlic and ginger, a little
soy sauce, a little wine and some chopped scallions. Form a loaf to
fit the size of the pot.

With anything of this type you can also toss some frozen peas on top a
few minutes before it's done. I don't suppose Chinese grandmothers
did that, but Chinese-Americans did. -aem

Following up my own post, I remembered another aspect of this home
cooking technique. Many leftovers can be reheated in this simplest of
ways. Say you had a couple of cooked chicken thighs, or some pork
cutlets. Start the pot of rice, put the leftovers on top when you
cover it and turn it down. By the time the rice is cooked the meat
will be hot from the gentle steaming action. Better than the
microwave and predates it by a few thousand years. -aem
