Pork floss (自製肉鬆) might sound a bit weird to westerners who only know of two other 'floss' products; Candy floss and the floss we use for cleaning between teeth. It is of course nearer to candy floss - in that it is a food that has been teased into a collection of tiny fibres.

"YOU MISSED OUT... THAT JUST ISN'T FAIR" I wrote a post called Taiwan in a pot very early on when this blog just started, when most of us haven't actually met yet. And perhaps that's OK. Perhaps it's wiser to have pre-mature photographs stay buried... #friedshallots #luroufan #rouzaofan

Taiwan has an absolutely fabulous range of foods, as you've probably already figured out from my endless ravings on the subject. Really, though, the culinary creativity of just about every corner of China found a home on this island and then blossomed. Case in point: Chinese tamales.

Recipe: chinese shaved ice dessert (bao bing) The Crazy Rain stopped earlier this week and now we seem to be back to our late summer pattern of cooler nights, warm days, and afternoon showers. This ping-pong cycling of temperatures has me donning pants, long-sleeve tops, and fuzzy socks in the mornings and shorts by noon.

Two versions of Chinese chili oil. In different Chinese cuisine especially Sichuan cuisine, condiments and seasonings are quite important. Since chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorn are the most two important condiments in Sichuan cuisine. Besides, combined Szechuan style chili oil is also an important seasoning, not shining but indispensable to your kitchen.

I always feel that dried lotus leaf is both an ingredient and a great tool for cooking. Using it to wrap foods is simple as it can be shaped easily once softened. A piece of it alone is large enough for covering one whole chicken, if that bird is not that giant in size.
