Stupid Question: Do I Cook Lo Mein like fried rice?

I assume the Asian store has fresh egg noodles in the refrigerated section and I’d cook them as I do a fried rice?

Onions, garlic, cooked noodles, soy, MSG, protein?

Fried rice made with the oil from frying chicken cutlets is delicious!

Fry the chicken cutlets with plenty of oil.

The leftover oil from the chicken cutlets is very fragrant; add more if needed. Then add some chili peppers, diced cucumber, and onions and stir-fry until fragrant.

Next, add the rice and stir-fry. Add some salt, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Finally, add the diced chicken cutlets and stir-fry briefly before serving.

葱烧芋艿 Shanghai scallion-braised taro

Has anyone here tried this dish before? The taro becomes soft and velvety as it cooks, soaking up all the savory scallion flavor. It may look simple, but it’s incredibly comforting and delicious.

Do You Know This Mother Who Taught Generations How To Cook Chinese Food?

Long before YouTube tutorials or Food Network existed, Fu Pei-mei (傅培梅) was the indisputable authority on Chinese cuisine across Taiwan and the global diaspora. Often dubbed the "Julia Child of Taiwan," her story is remarkably unique—mostly because when she first got married, she didn't even know how to cook.

After her husband’s friends criticized her early attempts at dinner parties, she took a drastic step: she spent her savings to hire top chefs from leading regional restaurants across Taiwan to come to her home and teach her their master recipes step-by-step.

Her determination transformed her into a legendary culinary pioneer:

  • Standardizing the Unstandardized: Traditional Chinese cooking relies heavily on shao xu (a little bit) or kan zhe ban (eyeball it). Fu Pei-mei was one of the first to meticulously measure ingredients into tablespoons, grams, and exact cooking times, making complex regional dishes accessible to everyday home cooks.
  • 40 Years on Live Television: Starting in 1962 on TTV, she hosted Fu Pei-mei Time for four decades, producing over 1,400 episodes. She cooked live on air without second takes—handling spatters, hot oil, and timing down to the second.
  • The "Overseas Student" Essential: For decades, Taiwanese students moving abroad to Europe or the US packed two mandatory items in their suitcases: a Tatung rice cooker and a copy of Fu Pei-mei’s bilingual Three Volume Cookbook. Her books brought home-style Chinese cooking to kitchens around the world.
  • Preserving Regional Diversity: Because chefs from all over mainland China settled in Taiwan during the mid-20th century, Fu Pei-mei documented and preserved an incredible variety of regional styles—from Shandong braised dishes to Sichuan spicy staples and Cantonese dim sum—all in one standardized canon.

Today, her recipes are still the baseline benchmark for classic Chinese home cooking across generations.

Cooking wine newb

I bought this on a whim, as it's not really something one comes by often in my country. Anyone seen/used this before, and would be able to elaborate on what it is? I can't find any info on producer, only importer is labeled... "Cohe Amsterdam" and "Oriental Holding Europe" are mentioned as importers.

Is it any good, or should I feed it to my friend whom will consume literally anything when drunk enough?

I'm still on the lookout for some ok+ cooking wine so I can begin learning how to use it.

Edit: I know it's cooking wine, it says so on the bottle. I was more curious if anyone recognized the specific bottle, or could translate the letters, to find out if this is any decent. I tried using a splash just now, and it added more funk than it took away, so I think it's fairly bad... Tastes salty and tangy too

Xiamen Recipes?

Hi! Looking for some recipes to cook for my coworker who is from Xiamen that will make him think of home. Since I’ll have to bring to work, things like sauces to give or easily consumable goods might be better than full noodle dishes/meals.

I live in NYC, so should be able to get a wide range of ingredients.

Thank you!!

Liang pi from scratch - a lot of effort but delicious

Takes a day to make including washing dough to release the gluten which is then steamed to create beautiful spongy steamed gluten.

The starch water has to rest for 6 hours and then the noodle sheets are steamed individually for a few minutes which takes about an hour.

However when assembled with beansprouts, cucumber, garlic water, chilli oil, soy sauce and black vinegar it's one of the most delicious cold noodles.

A day's prep eaten in 5 mins 😋
