1.The ingredients to make Fo tiao qiang must be fresh, so the first step is blanching chicken, old duck, ribs、trotter、pork tripe、duck gizzard（some people also put chicken feet and soaked cuttlefish) in, then add ginger and spring onion and boil all that for 6 hours on a small flame. 
2.Soak abalone and sea cucumber for one or two days. The soaking time is depending on the temperature, remember to change water during the process. 
3.Better soak tendons and fish maw with oil. Put cold oil in a cold pot, let them get soaked and turn the fire on after some time. Let the temperature raise up slowly.After that, the tendons can be soaked with warm water, this is called a water-oil immersion. 
4.The component of yellow wine depends on yourself, if you like it, you can put more in. If no then less. 
5.The actual shark fin is only thin cartilage, which is cut while the shark is alive. Unable to swim effectively, sharks sink to the bottom of the ocean and die of suffocation. I strongly suggest people to use the man made shark fins that you can buy everywhere instead of the real fins. Less killing for a better ecosystem. view all

When I was younger, planting bean sprouts was always part of my summer activities. Dig a hole, put some water in it, cover the hole after the green beans are in. For the rest? Time will take care of it. It’s super easy, everybody can make it, so do you want to give it a chance?

After the frost, it’s cloudy outside, the smog surrounds us and will not disperse! But the cold weather makes vegetables taste a lot better, so I cut up some cabbage to make kimchi.Kimchi is the traditional food from Yanbian Korean, every family makes it in a different way. For me, I stewed kimchi with some dried meat. In a sour and spicy soup with the smell from the meat, it warms up my whole winter.

 Time flies, the three-ninth period has passed already, so I won’t have dried meat for new year if I don’t make it now! I’ve always been tempted by steamed Hunan dried meats, so I make more dried chicken and cured fish this year. Cut the dried meat into pieces, then put them on a plate to steam them, use the soup from the meat to fry vegetables … I can’t describe how amazing it is! In another video I almost have a fight with the photographer to defend my dishes, lol….

We called wild jujube “Biti guo” when we were younger. At the season when jujube get ripe and fall to the ground, running to the backyard to collect it is the first thing we do when we got up.Probably because not too many choices are left for snacks, nothing is better than these sweet and sour wile jujube at that time.Now? People getting in a better and better condition, so the wild jujube tastes too sour, so I just add some sugar to make wild jujube cake.
