As a Chinese young star and my Chinese culture, cooking is my passion. You cannot talk of Chinese culture without including cooking especially during weddings or ceremonies. Any Chinese be it a lady or a gentleman must know how to cook Chinese food. My passion for cooking began when my mom started teaching me how to cook different recipes that she grew up with and when I discovered the Food Network channel, my passion was endorsed.
I love eating mama Chang's Stir-fried scallions and shrimp. The food is so tasty and sweet that anybody eating it may wish to know how it is prepared or cooked. Equipped with the Food Network and Pinterest, and the guidance of my mother, I could practice how to prepare various Chinese foods. For instance, in the cooking of shrimp dishes, a chef should take one and a half deveined and shelled large shrimp, and three garlic sliced cloves. Secondly, take one inch minced and peeled fresh ginger and at the same time crush the red pepper and measure it in one and half teaspoonful (Rasamalaysia). Thirdly, take one egg and two spoonfuls of cornstarch and a three-quarter cup of ketchup. Fourthly, take one teaspoonful of sugar and a half a cup of low-sodium chicken broth and also take one and a half teaspoonful of kosher salt. Fifthly, take a quarter a cup of canola oil, three sliced scallions, and a half a cup of chopped cilantro.
The steps that one takes to make the delicious dish are as follows; in the first step, toss and mix the red pepper, ginger, garlic, the shrimp, a white egg, and cornstarch in a sizable bowl. In the second step, take another bowl, the ketchup is whisked with sugar, salt, pepper, the remained cornstarch (one teaspoonful), and broth. In the third step, using a big skillet, the oil is heated until it shimmers, shrimp is added where it is stir-fried and highly heated until it turns pink. The ketchup mixture is added and simmered until shrimp is shrimp is cooked in about two minutes. Then the scallion is stirred and mixed with cilantro. The food is then served.
My mother talks about how great-grandmother thought her how to cook and he was further told to pass the recipe to the siblings. My love for food and cooking is therefore inherited. Everything from food, music, to art, makes Chinese a special and unique type of culture (Aldridge). Cooking makes me happy because the first reason is anxiety reliever. If there is one thing that will not make me pressured, it's cooking. Trying new Chinese dishes have always been my dream. I would love to become a professional chef. As a passion, cooking progressively improves when I am always enthused to make a variety of dishes as a way to satisfy my family member. Practice makes perfect, so I will continue trying new dishes until I become a culinary expert. My family always loves my cooking and whenever they see me in Kitchen, they are always happy knowing the food will be delicious.
Cooking is not just an activity; it is art, a hobby, a specialty and also a lifestyle. Without cooking, we would not be able to taste food the way it is meant to be. By cooking food you are not just making it taste better but also preventing yourself from getting ill. Raw aliments have bacteria and heat kills the bacteria from the meat and vegetables. Cooking with style is something that we must learn. I personally like food so much and I like it even better when it tastes so good that you can't get tired of it. I would not appreciate tasteless food because I just think it is a waste. By cooking with style, you will discover exquisite flavors that I am sure you will not regret.
