The foodway in my hometown

My hometown Qingdao is a city at seashore. So there is a large amount of different kinds of seafood. Usually I enjoy eating a fish everyday. So when I came to the US, I really missed the seafood in my hometown a lot.

My favorite seafood dish is Hot Fish. Sometimes people also called it fish filets in hot chili oil. Because this dish has so many steps for cooking it, I think it is significant hard for cooking at home. So we'd better to have it in the restaurant.

Here is a cooking way for Hot Fish from website:

Practice materials : a bass fish or boiled grass carp, silver carp are black, preferably live, not to use the carp. pound yellow bean sprouts, cabbage and a pouch of their favorite vegetables, such as cucumber, ginger (a big chunk, pine shoot films). Garlic (head, slightly shoot, rather than all), onions amount flap (or Duojiao), Chinese prickly ash, hot red peppers, chili powder, salt, MSG. pepper, cooking wine, soy sauce, vinegar a little, edible oil, flours, cooking wine, salt, egg white and one way : one, good clean fish kill, cut off his head and end, into a fish, and the remaining few fish hacked. To fish with a little salt, cooking wine, a protein powder and health efforts in time for 15 to 15 minutes. Another filling and rafts from end to end, the same way salt. 2, a Pour boiled water to wash bean sprouts, were placed in hot water, the fish into the bucket, which can also be placed in cabbage, cucumbers, and so on. 1:00 personal tastes by spreading salt reserve. 3, in the clean Stir sauce plus three times the usual oil-heat, placed three engines watercress (or Duojiao) seconds, plus ginger; garlic, onions, peppercorns, chili powder and hot red peppers medium speeding speculation. After adding flavor and rafts out from end to end, turn the fire, even double, plus cooking wine and soy sauce, pepper, sugar appropriate, continue to stir-fry a minute, adding some water, positioning and MSG seasoning (to taste some salty). Question and water and maintaining the fire, they were placed to fish, to use chopsticks to dissipate, 3-5 minutes relations fire. Add the fish sauce and garnished put all the bucket of bean sprouts were just in Washington. 4, and the other took a clean pot, into corn oil (oil depends on the specific size of the containers ready to be dumped into the bucket which, all fish and bean sprouts drowned later, visual it). Heat oil to be closed about hanging fire first. Then a lot of Chinese prickly ash and pepper (the individual level psychologists spiciness), Chinese prickly ash and boiling water slowly includes the stewed peppers smell. Fire should not focus too vague to avoid speculation. 5, Pepper quick color changes, immediately closed the fire, pot of hot pepper oil and pepper together in the bucket of fish into Washington, careful hot go up in smoke.

I am crazy about Hot Fish. The most crazy time, I even ate it 5 times in a week. There are few reasons below to explain why I am infatuated with it: 1. Actually this dish originated in Sichuan Province, so it followed the great feature of sichuan food, spicy!  I like the food with spicy taste. The spicy food can also help you better doing the metabolism. 2.I love the mashed mouthfeel of the fish. The fish form the sea often have tender meat than it from the river. 3.It has been suggested the no other food has a great influence on health and attacking disease than seafood. For example: Seafood can protect against heart disease, help prevent the spread of some cancers and improve the skin condition of psoriasis sufferers.

If you have chance to coming to China, do not forget enjoying the authentic Hot Fish!

My PSA

The first source I choose is a vedio about how to produce chocolate. Because I keep diet now, so I do not eat a lot of chocolate, but it can not reduce any of my love to chocolate. I knew only a little thing about how to make chocolate before watched this vedio. At first I was really attracted by the different kinds of shapes of chocolate, such as heart, rabbit and bear. Then I was surprised at the machine make it so fluent to produce chocolate. Usually people pay their attention to the taste of the food, I want to focus on the manner of cooking them by using this kind of source.


Salad is Incompatible with Life
Yes, my waist is fifty inches -
Big for me because I'm short.
And yes, I like my cheddar cheeses

When partnered with a vintage port.

Okay, okay, that double cream
Is always served with pud,
And cake and biscuits with my tea
Are just no bloody good

For my poor hardened arteries.
But see my point of view,
Please dear wifey if you please -
A Salad makes me spew!

I'd rather eat a bowl of air
Than crunch away on greens;
Drink water from the toilet bowl
Or nibble on my jeans!

But salad! Are you there?
You know it makes me snappy -
So let me fill my face with grub,
Stay fat, and die young happy!

The second source I selected is a poem about the food. Just similar to the poem we learnt in class. The theory of this poem is also quite unique. It is just talk about a fat man who just want to continue his style eating his favorite food like cream but not some healthy food like salad. Even they may be dangerous to his life. Many food has its implication. So I decide to choose the food poem to do some research on it.

A GREAT MEMORY ABOUT OUTDOOR BBQ IN HOCKING HILL

Welcome to Xuyang's Food Square. My name is Xuyang Zhang, a freshman from China major in Financial Mathematics. I like to try all kinds of food, especially Chinese and Korean food, because I enjoy soup and spicy food in these two styles!

In my mind, having a delicious meal with close friends is really a precious time. Luckily, I just had a happy together with my friends last weekend. We drove to the hocking hill and did a great outdoor BBQ there. Because it was windy on Saturday, we just stopped by a archery place instead of entering the hill deeply. There are some kiosks and a large forest. Wonderful scenery with a little bit warm wind is really a excellent place for BBQ.

We grilled so many different kinds os food include bacon, beef ribs, salmon, corns and hot peppers. My favorite one is hot peppers. I do not like it during the daily life, but after grilled, the taste of it had been totally changed. There was a crunchy taste of it with a little bit sweet. I also had a lot of beef ribs with spicy sauce. After the luxury lunch, we played Frisbee and cards on the grass for the whole afternoon.

It is really a memorable day for me. And I suggest your guys go out to have a picnic with your friends in this sunny spring.
