Parboiled Rice [moved from Home Cooking]
Instant rice is just horrible and I've had uncle ben's parboiled rice before. Just bought some parboiled rice from the indian store.will try to see if they come out the same. even though this is a indian brand name (swad)...it's a product of the u.s. so I don't know how authentic it will be.

Update: United Noodles DOES NOT have the unsalted kind
Baking Soda as Meat Tenderizer
Arguments against?....yeah it has no flavor. Chicken, beef, pork...they all taste the same(like nothing) with the same "already-been-chewed texture" Sorry so harsh but just had some Chinese from one of the more popular restaurants around here and was disappointed about the same texture the meat had I've encountered at buffets. I'm asian too and I have been perplexed for years by the kind of meat(if it can called that) I find in these places and I'm finally fed up so I Googled it and came across this board.
MSP: Somali or Hmong Food?
I stand corrected. I went and rechecked and I must've had the fermented ones. Other than that the sausages are the same. I guess we can attribute those yummy sausages to the Lao also. Question if you happe to catch this...do you guys make the sausages made of just pork and ginger, hung and dried for weeks/months?
MSP - Where to find Un-Salted Shaoxing Rice Wine
Thanks alot for the replies. I went to the United Noodles website and the only Shao Xing/Hsing wine I could find was "cooking" wine which probably means it has salt in it. But I'll still go check it out just in case. I was thinking about checking out the liquor stores around the Frogtown neighborhood since they mostly are asian owned but...they mostly cater to those guys standing on the corner that always seem to be short on bus fare.

MSP - Where to find Un-Salted Shaoxing Rice Wine
Hey guy/gals, I've heard there really is no substitue for chinese rice wine that is called for in chinese cooking so I was wondering if any of you can help me find some. I'm from the Frogtown area. Any and all input is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks.
Best French Bread MSP
I love french bread. It's one of the few foods I crave but my experience has been limited to the CUB and Sam's variety. I was wondering if there are any baker's out there with a recipe that'll blow my mind?
MSP: Somali or Hmong Food?
Hmong are the aboriginal chinese. It's a fact stated in Han history that the hmong were living in northern China when the Han arrived. Han people are the ethnic majority in China by the way just in case you aren't familiar with China. Yes, China consists of lots of different ethnicities just like here in America
The only authentic Hmong foods are boiled chicken with herbs, boiled pork with greens and some other dishes which I'll decline to name because they are too graphic. Dishes such as papaya salad, laab, etc...are a mainstay of the Hmong diet but are not authentic Hmong.dishes. But I will have to say that the Hmong sausage is the best sausage in the world - the Lao version is sour. Original Hmong dishes are plain, simple and uncomplex. They are meant that way because almost all Hmong food is meant to be eaten with pepper sauce. Alot of hmongs fail to mention or elaborate how important the pepper sauce is in hmong cuisines. It's like wine, different pepper sauce for different meats and meals. There has been alot of evolution in pepper sauces but common ones are plain red pepper, dried chilli pepper, cilantro and grn onion and lime pepper, and my new favorite - tamarind pepper with chops. Pepper sauce is unique among the different ethnicities so hmong pepper sauce is pretty much authentic.
Important Note: More than half of the Hmong in the world live in southern China and alot of them speak with a dialect and accent so thick that it is very hard if impossible to understand one another. The hmong in China eat totally different dishes - besides the boiled stuff and pepper I named above - than the ones that migrated to Laos and Vietnam and then settled here. Because what most hmong people eat here in America was influenced by their Lao,Viet, and Thai neighbors. The dishes in China resemble chinese cuisine. Also, if you don't like pepper than maybe Hmong food isn't for you. And if you want Hmong Chinese cuisine than you'd have to fly to china. But it might be worth it because it looked really good.

Looking 4 dry-aged, 100% grass-fed, miniature Highland or Galloway beef - MSP
Funny, but no. It's for research purposes. I'm looking to raise cattle and I've done alot of reading and it seems mini galloway or highlands are the best way to go for myself, at least on paper. But the real test will be the taste of the mini's compared to the norm to see if there's a difference.
