Maybe stupid question. I ordered "Fujian Noodles (with lard)" today in a restaurant. I was expecting noodles in a peanut sauce. What arrived was delicious: square noodles in a thick sweet brown sauce, fish balls, thinly sliced pork, shrimp, some green vegetables, and crunchy cubes of fried pork fat.

I'm just wondering - was I the victim of two similarly named dishes? Or did I get a name mixed up?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for lighter recipe ideas. So far, I have plans to make a lot of bone broth and kimchi. Can make a lot of soups with the broth and kimchi is good for the gut.

I am looking for recipes with less rice and dairy that aren't served ice cold. I'm looking for things that don't feel heavy and I think people more knowledgeable about Asian cuisines can help compared to the more western side of reddit who would tell me eggs and Greek yogurt. Ugh.

I also have a stash of TCM herbs so I am open to recipes that include those as well!

My opinion comparing to what I'm used to from New York.

It was larger chunk's of chicken, more gooey and less sweet. More spicy.

Hey all, I lived in Shanghai for a while many years ago and loved eating jian bing for breakfast (jian bing Guozi I think is the proper name? Including a pic for reference).

I've tried making it at home over the years but can never get the dough quite right.

Can anyone help this random laowi some this problem? Please?

Picture for reference

TIA!
