No one is talking about origins here. Neither do TS. His thread title just simply says Chinese ingredients then simply listed cabbage rice telur etc etc kek.

My first reply already get twisted into noodles and sushi while my original question was about why cabbage = Chinese ingredient?

Fine case close for you. Now go way.

kerbau pendek is the best

As long that it origin from China & my Chinese family normally use it to cook Chinese dishes; I will consider it Chinese ingredient.
As simple as that.

That's for you. But the way you are pushing your replies to me you die die want me to accept cabbage and rice are Chinese ingredients.

When I asked if it's true then why people from other parts of the world never called their cuisines using these 'Chinese ingredients'? You said crispy rendang lagi penting.

Going global konon. But only for potatoes? Wtf does that means anyway?

Imagine a dish from Malaysia but Malaysians can't eat. Topkek

bkt

errr no, that char is missing from it.

Letak babi semua jadi sedap weh

Szechuan pepper.. O waiiii

Rice & cabbage part of chinese ingredient la.. without it, most chinese dishes not complete.

What I mean we dont care whatever western chef said. They dont know how to cook asian food. Why we must listen to them?
No weight given for their opinion as we dont eat pizza everyday.

No need argue la.

Water, oxygen, salt, sugar etc all from china. China numba one. China exist 50000000 years before africa and other countries ok.

Rice farming started by Chinese, doesn't meant it belong to Chinese, the plant itself isn't exclusive to Chinese. There are other variant that's considered wild paddy mostly found in North America.

Of course, all paddy was wild before the very first human cultivate it. It grow across Asia and North America


Don't be like someone, suka suka claim, not that it earn you anything also.

Curry powder and belacan, China don’t want to claim ke?

Don’t forget also tempoyak and budu. Take2.

Nope I can't accept it. Basic grains like rice and veges like cabbage aren't exclusive Chinese ingredients like doubanjiang. Because they're just basic part that widely used around the world,not the special condiments or sauces which defines the identity of the cuisine itself.

Have you ever heard any Japanese saying cabbage is 华人材料 when adding them into okonomiyaki? Rice Pilaf,any Middle East chef saying 'oh we need the 'Chinese ingredients' a.k.a rice to cook this dish!'?

If you can accept potato is no longer western root veges because it's commonly used here. Why I shouldn't accept rice and cabbage as common things instead of 'chinese ingredients'?

Yau char kwai is traditionally eaten with soya bean drink and porridge just like what is served by the kiosk Yoo in malls

Wild rice@ poacea not related to rice@oryza sativa that we eat. Different species of grass

Potato just sarcastic example. Its still western food/vege. Main ingredient in western food whether we like or not.

Taugeh Chinese la... Tau (bean) geh (sprout).. So obvious directly translation

Just an examples, whole asia have many varieties of paddy. Mount paddy, sticky rice, basmati rice. All different. Want to claim all from China? You sure?

First in the region to cultivate it maybe you can claim, but even that how sure are you that there is none cultivate it before China? One advantages China has is they invented word and writing and able to keep the record down. So not surprising historian got their fact based on earliest recorded records.

Take Malaysia for examples, even the story of parameswara wasn't recorded in writing, if it was, I'm not aware of it. The visit of Malacca sultanate to Ming court also recorded from Ming dynasty end but not sure if sultanate have their own records.
