The Nuts in Kung Pao Chicken: Peanuts or Cashews?

@Barry Foy I laughed when I read your third point because it's so true. Growing up my mom would always scold me when I stick my chopsticks on the bowl of rice. Honestly tho, I normally doesn't notice those type of things when I'm looking at food photographs.

For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?

Anthony Bourdain is definitely tres sexy, but he's old enough to be my dad. Same goes for Rick Bayless.

My vote goes to Dave Leiberman, he is just so damn cute, and Jamie Oliver comes second.

I wouldn't mind some Chris Consentino and Aaron Sanchez either.

What is Chinese Brown Sauce Made Of?

Just try different combination and ration of ingredients you already have, the base is comprised of mostly soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, broth, rice wine and a bit of cornstarch. or at least the version I make at home does. but try add different stuff to get the taste you're familiar with. Just experiment and taste to adjust to your likings

My Shocking Food Confession: What's Yours?

I can't stand mashed potatoes and mac'n' cheese
mashed potatoes have no texture at all, and mac'n' cheese is just too cheesy and gunky, I can take one or two bites of it, but any more than that just make me want to puke.

And I can't stand raw cheese either, I tried to love it, but I just can't help but gag. I love cheese melted like on a pizza or quesadilla, but I can't eat it uncooked.

I love crumbled raw ramen with the flavor packet thing too! I have ate that as a snack ever since when I was young.
I eat fried eggs with soy sauce for breakfast sometimes.
I also eat plain marinara sauce just with a spoon.
I like canned soup, especially Progresso. I make soup myself too, but when it's just me, I just buy a can of soup for lunch or dinner.

Chinese Dumpling and Soup Technique

but in my family, we don't drink the "soup" of the dumpling
we normally make a different and more flavorful soup to go with it
