Rice noodle roll

A rice noodle roll is a Cantonese dish from southern China and Hong Kong, commonly served as a variety of dim sum. It is a thin roll made from a wide strip of shahe fen , filled with shrimp, pork, beef, vegetables, or other ingredients. Sweet soy sauce is poured over the dish upon serving. The rice noodle is also known as chee cheong fun where chee cheong means pig intestine, and fun means noodle; this is because the noodle resembles the small intestine of a pig.The rice noodle sheets are made from a viscous mixture of 1 cup of rice flour and 1/4 cup tapioca or glutinous rice flour and water, this recipe will scale well as long as the ratio of flours and water remain the same. The combination of both types of flour and water should be a consistency of heavy cream. The rice flour serves as the bulk and flavor of rice, the tapioca flour gives the noodle elasticity and springiness, therefore it should never crumble nor being too chewy. It should never have the al dente texture as with Italian pasta. Boric acid is sometimes used to make it very smooth texture or plastic sheen. Boric acid is banned for human consumption as a food ingredient in the United States as it may cause kidney failure.

Introduction to French Macarons

French macarons are thin, flavorful meringue cookies that are sandwiched together with some kind of filling. The meringues are what make the cookies unique. They have a smooth, crisp shell and a moist, chewy interior. They are made with egg whites and lots of ground nuts, which helps them to attain that chewy texture without drying out and becoming too crispy, like a simple meringue cookie made with just egg whites and sugar.  The fillings can be almost anything that will stay between the cookies, from jams and preserves to caramel to buttercream frosting. I’ve even used Nutella to finish off a batch of macarons before. Although they can come in any size, macarons are typically small enough to be eaten in one or two bites.

Macarons are a French staple and if you happen to be in Paris, you’ll have no trouble finding them at most bakeries. Here in the US, the cookies are growing in popularity, but are still not that common. You’ll have to look in your area for a restaurant or bakery that specializes in French pastries to find some, and it might take even more time to find very good ones. You can also make them at home with just a few simple ingredients, where you can experiment with different flavors and fillings to customize your creations.

HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE

Chocolate as we know it today was largely made possible by three events:

l  In 1828, Dutch chemist Johannes Van Houten, invented a method of extracting the fat or "cocoa butter" from ground cocoa beans. The resulting 'cocoa' powder was much less bitter tasting and, when combined with sugar or honey, made a drink much more palatable to our taste.

l  This process known as the Van Houten process made it possible for Fry & Sons of Bristol, England to manufacture and sell the first solid chocolate bar in 1847.

l  In 1875 a Swiss manufacturer, Daniel Peters also used the Van Houten process to successfully combine chocolate with powdered milk to produce the first milk chocolate.<-----By HAO YUANZHU ZHHAD1301----- >

Famous Foods from Italy

Spaghetti

Despite what many think, pasta did not originate in Italy. The Chinese have the hold on the first known pastas, however, Italy did invent the ever popular pasta we call spaghetti. It is believed to have originated in Southern Italy, back in the 12th century. It wasn't until the 19th century when commercial pasta factories came on the scene, enabling Italy to mass produce spaghetti and other pastas.

If you really like pasta, you might want to consider checking out the Pasta Museum in Rome during your travels in Italy! It is the only one of its kind in the world and boasts 11 rooms with eight centuries of pasta history!

Pizza

The modern day pizza's birthplace was Naples, Italy. The original and most popular variety is Margherita, which has only tomato, mozzarella, and basil. These colors represent the Italian flag colors and legend says this pizza was served to Queen Margherita of Savoy. Pizza was a peasant food, yet the Queen loved it and continued to enjoy it despite the backlash she received from others in the royal circle. The pizza was later named after her and is a popular pizza variety served around the world. If you have a chance to sample a Margherita pizza, Naples is definitely the place -- with tomatoes grown in the volcanic ash of nearby Pompeii, the taste is spectacular and unlike pizza I have tried anywhere else in Italy or around the world.<---------By HAOYUANZHU ZHHAD1301--------->

THAI FOOD

Tom Yam Goong

This is the national aroma of Thailand, thanks to the generous use of fragrant herbs. Lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal, and shallots provide the memorable smells, with chilis and fish sauce providing the kick. Substance comes in the form of jumbo shrimp (goong) and mushrooms. The flavour is a unique combination of spicy hot and sour and makes for an ideal start to a meal, or - when paired with rice - a worthy main dish.

Pad Thai

Thailand's calling card to the rest of the culinary world, pad Thai doesn't need an introduction. There are an infinite number of variations on this timeless tradition, but usually noodles are dressed up with tofu, bean sprouts, onion, and the brilliant final touch: peanuts ground to near dust. Pad Thai is a diner-participation meal; you put on the finishing touches of fish sauce, sugar, chili powder, and crushed peanuts to suit your taste. ------By Xiangrui Kong------

Classic French Meals

1. Moules Marinières

The association between mussels and french fries is a Belgian specialty, but it’s very widespread in France and we brought our own twist to the recipe. There are many ways to cook mussels, my favorite is the moules marinières, a recipe from the west of France where you cook the mussels in a white wine broth with shallots and parsley.
2. Sole Meunière

You don’t need fancy preparations to get an awesome result, especially when it comes to fish. Sole meunière is thus a very straightforward and easily prepared recipe. The final dish is flavorful, crispy, buttery, and lemony, all at once.
3.Hachis Parmentier

A layer of mashed potatoes and a layer of juicy ground beef (or, as I like to call them, two layers of heaven). Hachis Parmentier is often described as a French version of shepherd’s pie. It is French comfort food at its best and it is fairly easy to prepare.
4. Cheese Soufflé

Like Audrey Hepburn’s culinary school instructor in Sabrina puts it: “The soufflé it must be gay, gay, gay. Like two butterflies dancing the waltz in the summer breeze.” Doesn’t it make you want to channel your inner French chef?    <-------by Xiangrui Kong------->

Korean Food

Korean food is one of the most famous Asian foods. Many people choose to go to Korean to have holiday, not only for the famous stars or beautiful clothes, but also for the delicious food. The most popular Korean foods are hot-pot, Bulgogi and spicy rice cake.  Many foreigners like Bulgogi, because it made by fresh beef and the taste of this is a little bit sweet. In addition, hot-pot has many choices such as meat, seafood or vegetable. Hot pot always tastes spicy, but the staff of the restaurant will adjust the level of spicy. Furthermore, Kimbap is a must at any Korean picnic. Traditional versions use Bulgogi meat, assorted vegetables and omelette. The rice is seasoned with sesame oil and salt rather than vinegar and sugar. There is no need for dipping sauce as everything is properly seasoned to create that perfect well-balanced bite. While the majority of kimchi is left to ferment for months and possibly years, this recipe is a notable exception as it can be eaten right away. It’s briefly dipped in salt and sometimes drizzled with sesame oil at the end of cooking.
