Turk's Turban Pumpkins

All AppetiteForChina -- These pumpkins are so oddly beautiful I just had to share. My friend Christa picked them up at Farmer John's pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay, about 30 to 40 minutes from San Francisco. Having never seen them before, I spent the longest time trying to figure out how they developed to look like two different species squashed into one, with a warty belt around the middle. These pumpkins have a handful... 10-15

Homemade Horchata

All AppetiteForChina -- When I was living in China, the kitchen was never without rice. Long grain, short grain, jasmine, or brown, a sack or bulk bin bag would slouch in the corner, just waiting to be cooked. I would steam it, fry it, or boil it to a pulp for congee. And one day, out of severe homesickness, I decided to make horchata. A Chinese friend was over and watched me pull a plastic carton from the fridge, which ... 10-13

Gourmet 1941-2009 - "Elitist", Intelligent, Loved

All AppetiteForChina -- This week the food world had its own Black Monday. To reduce costs, Condé Nast has decided to shut down Gourmet. I mourned on Twitter, along with a thousand other food writers and bloggers. It felt cathartic to be reassured that there were many others who will miss seeing the magazines in their mailboxes every month. But then the insults started flying. Among the many criticisms the magazine recei... 10-10

Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: Cowboy Supper - California's Native BBQ

All AppetiteForChina -- With all due respect to Memphis and Kansas City, Californians know the nation's best barbecue may be in their own backyard. I've spent enough time in the Central Coast to know that no occasion is too small for Santa Maria-style barbecue. Fundraisers, Quinceañeras, and Saturdays are all reasons to fire up the 50-gallon oil drum grill and slow cook enough beef for the whole town. For my Foodbuzz 24,... 09-29

Vietnamese Avocado Shake - Sinh to Bo

All AppetiteForChina -- One of the things I like best about Vietnam is the café culture. And by café, I mean any collection of plastic stools on the sidewalk, set up by an entrepreneurial local who mixes drinks for her neighbors. At any time of the day, along the streets of Saigon, Hanoi, Hoi An, etc., the Vietnamese just crouch around wobbly pastel tables and sip their drink of choice. Whether it's cafe sua da, sugarcan... 09-17

Noodle Tour of Vietnam

All AppetiteForChina -- No wonder travelers to Vietnam fall in love with Hoi An. It is close to beaches, a gazillion times less chaotic than Saigon and Hanoi, and home to amazing, amazing food. In a previous post, I professed my love to banh mi op la, the best breakfast in Southeast Asia. Here, I'll elaborate on some noodles whose photos I still drool over. While riding a motorbike to the beach, we stopped at a roadside ... 09-15

Chop Suey Casserole, California Ranch Edition

All AppetiteForChina -- Recently, while visiting Jacob's grandmother in California, I discovered a torn cookbook in her kitchen drawers. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "You found my bible!" Titled "Country Cookin'", the book was published in the 1970s by the Monterey County Cowbelles, otherwise known as the wives of Monterey's ranchers. Surprisingly, only a tenth of the book is devoted to red-meat-c... 08-27

Soba Noodle Candy

All AppetiteForChina -- The food scientists of the Jersey turnpike may churn out impressive artificial flavors, but are they as wacky as Japanese candy makers? I found these soba drops recently at a toy store in Tokyo. If you've seen these before, excuse my piqued interest; I spent the past two years in China, where candy is just candy. (Although Chinese Lay's potato chips come in such impressive flavors as Peking Duc... 08-26

Banh Mi Op La!

All AppetiteForChina -- I have found my new breakfast obsession, and sadly, it exists only in Vietnam. Attempts to replicate it in home kitchens would fail miserably. Recently in Hoi An, Vietnam I met up with an old culinary school instructor from New York who was working at non-profit restaurant. Each morning we stepped out of the air-conditioned bliss of the hotel into a wave of heat, traffic noise, and repeated soli... 08-18

Vegetarian Food Gone Wrong

All AppetiteForChina -- In light of my upcoming move back to the US, I have been digging through old photos from the past year that have not made it on to the blog. Not surprisingly, almost all are still food related. Like this burger. We found it at a Buddhist vegetarian restaurant last summer in Beijing, near the Lama Temple. On the menu it was called a "Taiwan burger". None of us, including my globetrottin... 07-30

Recipe: Chinese Stir-fried Water Spinach

All AppetiteForChina -- I have been eating water spinach for as long as I can remember chewing food. Few children love vegetables, but even as a toddler I loved these long stalks of water spinach that stayed crunchy even when wilted. Of course, it helped that my parents never called it spinach. The Chinese for water spinach is 空心菜 (kong xin cai)，which literally means "empty-hearted vegetable." Indeed, the long ... 07-25

A Globetrotter's Guide to Unusual Chinese Restaurants

All AppetiteForChina -- (photo by Jon Vincent Ong) The frequent travelers among us know that Chinese restaurants are everywhere. Once upon a time you could have visited Dublin or Dubai without seeing an Empress Garden Panda Palace or some variation, but those days are long gone. Like when writer Daisann McLane stumbled upon the Hong Kong Café in icebergian Greenland. A recent commenter on this blog put it best: "I... 07-22

Chow Mein, an American Classic

All AppetiteForChina -- (Photo by pointnshoot, CC) Ed. - Say you're at your favorite Chinese take-out, feasting on moo goo gai pan and fried wontons. "I bet they don't really eat this stuff in China," you think, recalling the Discovery Channel special on TV last month. You would be correct. But how did dishes like chow mein and the once ubiquitous chop suey, unrecognizable to anyone in China, become such so wel... 07-18

Chinese in Budapest

All AppetiteForChina -- Last summer when Jacob went to Budapest for a conference, he took an few hours to stroll around the city's "Chinatown." Except there wasn't much of one, at least not the kind with red-and-gold gates and tons of indistinguishable souvenir vendors - kitschy but telltale signs that a city at least tries to embrace its multicultural identity. With Hungary, the situation is a little more comp... 07-07

Oodles of Noodles

All AppetiteForChina -- Is that laundry on those clothes lines? No, those sheets are are actually strands of noodles being hung out to dry. My roving correspondent shot this photo while cycling along the Sichuan-Tibetan highway. (Hint: he's a recurring character on the blog.) I wish I had brought a camera to this wet market in Shanghai several weeks ago. Hidden away from the fish mongers, tofu mongers, and vegetable mong... 06-30

Roadside Duck Roasting

All AppetiteForChina -- Over the weekend, while biking to Shanghai's Silk Market, Jacob and I got lost in a maze of side streets. This was a side of Shanghai visitors seldom see. We rode past a few "free-range" chickens (with feet leashed to a pole, so prevent straying) pecking on some dirty lettuce. On the other side of the road was a scene that would never pass American health inspection, but which made my he... 06-17

Karaage! - Japanese-Chinese Fried Chicken

All AppetiteForChina -- Now, America isn't the only country that adores fried Chinese food. In Japan, diners go wild for karaage, Chinese-style fried chicken. According to Maki from Just Hungry, "the word kara refers to China, meaning that this method of preparing chicken originated in Chinese cooking (age means deep-fried)". Like the Chinese, the Japanese also marinate their chicken with ginger "to get ri... 06-11

When Chinese Food was Glamorous in America

All AppetiteForChina -- I came across this Edward Hopper painting today and, for a few minutes, tried to connect the image with the name. The painting is evocative of everything I associate with the 1920s: men in suits, chic flappers, and dim stylish interiors. Yet if you look closely, there is a terracotta teapot on the table. And try to decipher the restaurant placard outside the window. The restaurant and painting are... 06-06

Chinese Scallion Pancakes - A Photo-by-Photo Recipe

All AppetiteForChina -- I have the hardest time not ordering scallion pancakes when I go out for Chinese food. They make great appetizers when the entrees happen to take longer than five minutes. They absorb the sauce of your moo shu pork like a sponge. And your vegetarian friends can eat them with abandon. That said, few scallion pancakes beat the homemade version, when they come off the skillet hot and golden brown. Th... 05-27

Umeshu - Japanese Plum Wine

All AppetiteForChina -- The weather gods have been cruel to me. As some of you may know, I spent the last two weeks in New York and Boston; expecting normal late spring temperatures, I packed summer clothes and sandals, only to freeze the entire time. On the last day, as I rode the train to JFK for my flight out, the mercury shot up to 70s. Such is my luck as a traveler. Of course, I returned to China, where the May fore... 05-22
