In a weird coincidence, Chinese New Year is also Burns Night.

Everyone give me your best/worst ideas for Chinese-Scottish fusion dishes to inflict on my friends.

worst i can think of that actually makes some sorta sense would be 拔丝mars bars but i think someone can outdo that. i mean that would end up being basically just a slightly sweeter deep fried mars bar. my teeth hurt thinking about a giant dongbei size plate of 15 of those though

Those are all great suggestions but thinking about this one in particular causes me physical pain. Thanks.

So I made mapo dofu the other day

Threw some avocado in because I didn't have enough 'fu and it was mentioned earlier.

Anyway, that's not what this post is for, it's for what I did with some of the leftovers just now

(That's buttered brown bread. Sorry for the terrible picture, and for what I have done)

This seems like a good place to ask: I have a friend who's very fond of fish (white, ocean fish particularly). Unfortunately, my knowledge of Chinese cooking skews heavily Sichuan.

Any recommendations?

I only have Food of Sichuan, but as someone who's lived in the region for a while, I can confirm it's extremely legit.

Not sure if I should be asking this here or in general.

I have a tonne of left over cao guo (/tsao-ko / "chinese black cardomom", if you're weird), and I was wondering if anyone had found good uses for it outside of Chinese cookery.

Update: I put it in some cheap whisky. Highly recommended.

(Maybe just use the shells though, seeds are a bit too lemony)

Are there any other cooking books the thread would recommend like Dunlop's The Food of Sichuan, but for other regions like Hunan and Guizhou?

I know Dunlop has other books, but people don't seem to talk about them and there might be a reason.

I've made a few good things from Georgia Freedman's Cooking South of the Clouds, but I'm not really familiar with Yunnan food, so I can't tell how good her recipes are compared to the general idea of "put a ton of cao guo in it".

This all looks great. I wish decent Yunnan food were easier to find anywhere outside of the place
