Diaspora Enjoying now: 螺蛳粉 luosifen in SoCal

Post image
29 Upvotes

Luosifen outlets have come pretty late to the area. Only about 3 specialists have developed in the last few years, though you can also see luosifen in the more common “Guilin Rice Noodles” places.

My wild speculation is that maybe there is some challenge to getting the snails (?)

I had uninspired, fake feeling luosifen years ago, and I think that’s how it’s sort of been in California until fairly recently.

This was great, except for a couple things I considered to be mistakes in the preparation.

Braised Pork Belly Rice 🐷🍚 what I love about this dish is the meat that is melt-in-the-mouth, juicy and tender mushrooms, and the eggs that has been infused with the flavourful sauce 💗🤤 My hubby used to never ever eat pork belly and quail eggs but this dish changed him! 🥰

Question What Can I Serve With Gobi Manchurian?

7 Upvotes

I’d rather not make Hakka noodles, since we’ve had them the last couple of days. Same with rice. Is there a cabbage salad or potato dish I could serve with this? Or do I just give in and make noodles?

Question XO sauce suggestions

8 Upvotes

I’m a big fan of XO sauce, but my partner is allergic to shrimp. So I’ve decided to make my own. What kind of seafood should I replace the shrimp with? I’m thinking of trying some kind of dried fish or maybe just all scallops. Would anchovies be good? I’d love any ideas.

Sichuan Green Sichuan pepper oil on pasta? Game changer.

11 Upvotes

I have been cooking Sichuan food at home for about a year, mapo tofu, dan dan noodles, the usual. Last night I was just making a lazy mushroom and shallot pasta and had some green sichuan pepper oil from 50 Hertz sitting on the counter. Drizzled a bit on top at the end on a whim.

Holy crap it was not even spicy but my whole mouth got that citrusy buzzing thing. Totally changed the pasta.

Has anyone else thrown Sichuan pepper oil on Chinese food? What else have you tried it on? I am curious what else it would work with.

Question What’s the difference between these and how to use them?

I truly enjoy both of these but admittedly not sure what the difference is. I just know that Hot Chili Oil seasoning tastes saltier and less spicy than the Spicy Chili Oil. How do you use in your cooking? As a topping for some dishes?

Question Why my bau filling does not fill to the edge?

As you can see, the filling (yam flavour) in my bau is stucked in the middle of the bun while the sides of the bun is too thick with bread. How do I make my bau looks more uniform so the wall of the bun has even thickness and the filling is not forever stuck in the middle?

Xinjiang braised mutton recipe?

3 Upvotes

When my wife and I were in Singapore, we went to this Xinjiang Chinese restaurant called Aisyah's. I ordered the braised mutton and lost my mind, it was the best thing we ate the entire trip. I've tried to find videos or recipes but all I can find is tangentially related recipes for lamb. Any help?
