Hi Amy, you must come to my hometown, Shengzhou in Zhejiang for two or three episodes! This is a formal invitation!

[@antonia9466]

My dad is from Jiangxi and grew up in Nanchang, and his entire family is still there. I would say Jiangxi cuisine isn't the necessarily the spiciest, but just assume EVERY SINGLE DISH has been cooked with chili peppers. The liang (cold) banfen is a staple in our household, and a quick/easy/cheap dish to whip up to feed a lot of people. Just make sure the noodles you buy are the "Jiangxi" mi fen ;-)

[@overmars34]

As a Chinese, I must say it seems like Amy speaks better Chinese than me lol because when "绝杀"炒粉 was mentioned in the video, I could only think about something like a buzzer beater in basketball and got really confused. But whackband totally makes more sense lol.

I love your videos. As someone allergic to wheat, this one was especially great for me. I wish you'd write a book for tourists, with photos of the dishes, their names in ,with English pronunciation, and the expected price to pay. For me something like that would be great for when I get to eat my way across China. Thanks, Amy!

their names in Chinese, with English pronunciation, so in a restaurant you could show the person taking your order. Also, phrases in Chinese to let waiters know if you have allergies or don't eat certain foods.

Amy, you have tried so many Chinese dishes, you musst have had liangfen. You probably just forgot. It's pretty typical. English name should be grass jelly. tastes a bit herbal and bitter, but also cool and refreshing like mentol.

[@parplus2556]

I ate quite a bit of liangfen (grass jelly) with syrup in Hong Kong. There are canned ones from Chinese markets as well.

First of all: love your channel, it's helped me let go of some prejudice I had against china as a whole that I didn't even know I had. It's also made me more adventurous in my own food endeavors and incorporate spices much more in my cooking. I would loooove to try some of the dishes you show. Also, always funny when derk shows up. Now to this video: cracking up over the fact that we freak out when people don't wear gloves or hairnets and my guy over there is frying without a shirt on 😅 Final note: I am devastated that the most controversial breakfast item in Germany you might encounter is eggs and sausages. I want to have noodle soup and hot and spicy oumami things too 😭

Well done for visiting Nanchang Amy! Not even many Chinese people visit the city, let alone know where it is haha. I'm from there, and grew up in Aus, so this is so relatable!

The small pot of soup shouldn't translate as "boiled". It's double-boiled炖(繁體字"燉") in long hours. If in short period of time, it's called 蒸steam. In Mandarin, 炖 can also mean slow-cook braise with direct low heat (which is called 炆 in Cantonese, and 炖 is only referred to long-steam). Keep in mind that 炖湯 is absolutely superior to boiled soup煲湯 or 滾湯 (which makes the liquid cloudy, less umami, and meats end up dry and rough).

[@openzzf9937]

炖罐是个新世界，江西和福建的炖罐都喜欢，靠海的海鲜炖罐偏多点。在2000年大街小巷到处都是，现在已经少了很多，可以要一份满意的炖罐，直接叫店家加面加粉。
