Chinatown is located in Manhattan, New York. It is one of the largest Asian communities In America. There are many wonderful restaurants nestled in Chinatown. They have the greatest Asian groceries and markets in New York City. Here you can find any ingredients you need to make authentic Asian cuisine. I recently got some Chinese recipes while visiting Chinatown. These dishes are very easy to prepare. I will start with a seafood recipe first.
Fried Live Fish in Pepper Sauce:
2 thin slices of live fish
1 bowl of corn flour
Minced ginger and scallions
Salt
1 dish of pepper sauce
1 head of lettuce
First make shallow parallel cuts across the fish slices. Then marinate fish with salt, ginger, and scallions. Put the oil in a wok or deep non-stick skillet. Fry the fish until it is crisp. Take the fish out and put it on top of lettuce slices on a plate. Sprinkle with pepper sauce. That’s all there is to it.
Here is another favorite of mine. It is also an extremely easy dish to prepare.
Beef in Oyster Sauce:
1 piece of beef fillet
1 egg
Soda
Sugar
Salt
Oil
Oyster sauce
Soy sauce
Cornstarch
Water
5 mushrooms
Coriander
Minced garlic, ginger, and scallions
Shred beef and add the egg, soda, soy sauce, and cornstarch-water mixture. Blend together to make a batter and let it set for 30 minutes. Put beef and shredded mushrooms into a wok or a deep non-stick skillet. Deep fry until done. Heat oil and add garlic, ginger, scallions, sugar, and oyster sauce. Mix into a juice. Pour shredded beef into the juice. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander and sesame oil and serve.

Chinese takeout has also reached Europe. In fact, a lot of European countries have China Town and a lot of Europeans call in for Chinese takeout. This shows that Europeans and Asians are bound together by a common thing – Chinese food.
Going back to New York, which is pretty much a Hodge podgy of cultures, anyone can see a Chinese restaurant wherever they turn. This is because Chinese food is delectable and satisfying and there are just too many choices. You can have sweet and sour pork one day and then dumplings the next. You can also get a fortune cookie after every meal and see how accurate it is. Through Chinese food being eaten by Westerners, the ties between the West and East are still strong.
Businessmen and professionals who fly to Eastern countries such as China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong get to have their fill of Chinese food while they are there. Sometimes, they still crave for these kinds of foods, thus they search for the perfect Chinese takeout. Once they find this, then this is the one they regularly call – be it late at night or early morning. Most Chinese takeouts are open for 24 hours in New York. That is why dormers always rely on Chinese food whenever they have to stay up all night studying or finishing a project that is due the next day.
Chinese experts and migrants understand the popularity of Chinese food for restaurant. Taking a closer look at the booming Chinese takeaway business, one would realize that these all started by Chinese immigrants who wanted to make a business on western ground. Most of them succeed by including their cultures to the Western tradition – food. After all, food binds us. There is no denying this fact.
China is not only known for their unique culture and their population. China is also popular for their Chinese food. There is just something about Chinese food. It is satisfying and better yet, it is affordable. This is another reason why Chinese takeout is very popular. Those who order get quantity and quality at a reasonable price.
Another interesting thing about Chinese takeout is that these do not spoil quickly. One can just pop it in the fridge and then eat this the day after tomorrow. They wouldn’t have to worry about their stomach spoiling because this rarely happens.
