A place to exchange kick-ass recipes. Either your own, or links to ones you've found and tried (and which worked) online, or tweaks to classics.

This community isn't for gourmet meals or Michellin stars, it's for real recipes people actually use and love.

Also, no cuisine gatekeeping here, please. If you love pineapple and strawberries on pizza, or mushrooms and jellytots in carbonara, them you do you!

East Asian cuisine doesn't use sugar. The secret to Chinese cooking is lard, soy sauce, and high heat.

uhhh maybe they didn't in the past but they definitely do these days, you get sauce sticky with sugar and starch slurry.

Are you talking about Chinese cuisine or American one from Chinese inspired restaurants?
