1/6 - Takeaway Favourites
There's a shock moment in this new cookery show when presenter Ching- He Huang reveals the quantities of fat, sugar and salt in the average Chinese takeaway meal. It's not a pretty sight. In fact, it may put you off the whole idea of takeaways for some time. And that would suit the tirelessly chirpy Ms Huang nicely because she wants to show us how easy it is to create takeaway favourites in our own kitchens. Her healthier versions of chicken chow mein and beef in oyster sauce look fabulous and, yes, dead easy. So easy that we see Britain's women's rowing captain cook them, too, just so we know there's nothing to it. It's all very jolly, and after half an hour with Huang, you'll be itching to throw away that flyer from the Golden Dragon and get to wok.
RT reviewer - David Butcher
Apologies to all of you who tried to join the UK group. I had no idea that I needed to approve group membership. It seems as if some people don't need approval and others do. Odd.
I'll check this more often from now on.
Anybody out there from the East Midlands, UK, who fancies getting together to speak Chinese? A bunch of us learners and a few Chinese speaker friends from the Leicester/De Montfort Uni Languages@Leicester Chinese classes have decided to organise an informal meet-up group to get together and practice spoken Chinese.
We thought about going with meetup.com, but it's a bit pricey. So I've set up a site called ZhongWenLeicester.org. It's fairly basic, and you need to sign up (it's free, and run on a volutnary basis - and always will be) - but it's a way of making connections locally so that we can get together.
PM me, or contact me thorugh ZhongWenLeicester if you want to join us. Our first meeting will, naturally enough, be in the Phoenix cafe/bar in a couple of weeks' time.
Will
