135. What is the favorite food in your country? Thats a broad question. Allow me to explain my personal views by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, there are the more traditional dishes like for example, dumplings and rice soup. Secondly, there are the more modern dishes like barbeque and hamburgers. Lastly, I should mention that it depends on the region in China that you are finding yourself in. For example, in the south people do not have the same preferences as in the north. 136. How does one make dumplings? Firstly, you have to prepare the dough. This is made by flour and water and then rolled into round pieces Secondly, you have to prepare a stuffing. This can consist of vegetables or various meats that are chopped fine. Small amounts of the stuffing are rapped in the dough. It is placed into boiling water for approximately ten minutes until the stuffing is cooked properly. Dumplings are served with vinegar or some other spicy sauces. 137. What is your favorite dish? Thats a tough question, which I must admit, I havent given much thought yet. If I had to make a choice, I suppose my favorite dish would be fried fish. My mother has a very special way of frying fish. I like all kinds of fish dishes, but particularly like shark fins. The only problem is that it is very expensive, so I am not able to have it very often. |
