gato Posted February 10, 2006 at 03:11 PM Report Posted February 10, 2006 at 03:11 PM It's usually written as "羊羯子锅." I'm not sure how it's pronounced. John DeFrancis (wenlin) has 羯 as jie2. 羯 [jié] 羯羊 castrated ram see http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=gmail&q=%E7%BE%8A%E7%BE%AF%E5%AD%90%E9%94%85 Quote
count_zero Posted March 22, 2006 at 11:44 PM Report Posted March 22, 2006 at 11:44 PM Excellent work. Hot pot is incredibly popular, certainly in Beijing, but not always easy to order. How about a post on how to order fish? Quote
count_zero Posted March 23, 2006 at 12:02 AM Report Posted March 23, 2006 at 12:02 AM Hang on a tick… 炸腐竹is listed as ‘Fried fermented bamboo sprouts’. I thought that it was just a colourful name and actually 腐竹 is shaped tofu, no? Quote
geraldc Posted March 23, 2006 at 12:15 AM Report Posted March 23, 2006 at 12:15 AM 腐竹 is like a sheet of bean curd that's been scrunched up and dried. It's like a flake chocolate bar (inasmuch it's a sheet folded up on itself several times, but made from a sheet of tofu rather than chocolate [is there a prize I can claim for giving the worlds worst definition of 腐竹?]). Nice in stews, and in 糖水 Photo here http://gongqiu.agri.gov.cn/images/sdinfo/360777_pic.jpg Quote
gato Posted March 23, 2006 at 02:23 AM Report Posted March 23, 2006 at 02:23 AM 腐竹 are dried bean curd sheets folded up to look like bamboo shoots. Quote
Jo-Ann Posted March 23, 2006 at 02:58 AM Report Posted March 23, 2006 at 02:58 AM 腐竹 --- rolled, dried, varnished paper? Quote
liuzhou Posted March 24, 2006 at 02:04 PM Report Posted March 24, 2006 at 02:04 PM 腐竹 is an essential part of our local speciality, 螺蛳粉, rice noodles with various bits and pieces in a chilli laden snail soup 好吃! Quote
