Does anyone know what tahini (sesame paste) is in Chinese? Both pinyin and hanyu would be helpful, if possible.

Thanks!

Hi all, I’m starting to use this group to post recipes. The goal is to learn some recipe, cooking, and food vocab.  If you baidu the name of your favourite dish along with 食谱 (shípŭ, recipe) or 做法 (zuòfă, method) you will come up with a lot of recipes.  (Pinyin works just fine in Baidu as well, I’ve just discovered – it takes the pinyin and gives you suggestions in characters.) Feel free to add corrections/suggestions both to the recipe or the Chinese.

Add a bit more oil if needed, then the tomateos, cook the tomatoes til they are soft and fragrant. Add the eggs to the tomatoes and stir everything together, then add salt and pepper.

Would this be the correct way to say, "I want one spring roll" at a restaurant?

我要一个spring roll (I can't find the characters for spring roll!)

Is the first part of the sentence correct? Pretend that the characters for spring roll is after 一个!

I am looking life partner for marriage and spend life with complete natural and pleasure  and successful, because human is come from human and human can not live without human.

i use the website www.ultimatechinese.com to learn standar mandarin, i think it is better.

I am interested in (the use of) clover (三叶草 san1ye4cao3) in the Chinese kitchen: is there anyone that can tell me a bit more about this vegetable? How do you prepare it? Is it often used in Chinese dishes? I asked 4 Chinese ladies and they did not have a clue. I thought I give it a shot here.

Thx. :-)

Would anyone be interested in meeting up for dinner in Chinatown at some point over the next 2 or 3 weeks? There's this really nice sichuan restaurant we could go to, or we could all suggest some places and vote on our preferences and then all hook up at the place and enjoy some good food and alcohol.

I think it would be good to meet people in the area face-to-face because we're all here for the same purpose of learning Chinese for one reason or another. So it might be good to get to know each other a little more so that we might be able to do language exchanges and learn together.. or something like that anyway.

hey,i like chinese food very much, good color, and smell and taste

Hi everyone, this is my first post, I hope Im not repeating anything or not looking hard enough through the Cpod lessons but, figured this was the right place to ask!!

I would like to know how to say/write something on the lines of... 'I would like to go to several restaurants to eat really good Chinese food'... (while Im in China)
I looked at the lesson 'Discussing Eating' and came up with this... 我想到许多餐厅去吃很好中餐...

Im a complete newbie so Pinyin too please ;-)
Any help is welcome, and please explain discuss any grammar points/problems because I find that interesting; Im thinking of my use of word 许多 !!. Ha.

Thanks. Matt.

How about we record the dominant word for potato in as many regions of greater China as possible?  And any interesting related facts?  We will all at some stage need to order a plate of shredded potato!    

I will start with Yunnan - can any poddies help with the accepted term in other areas?  

云南 Yunnan 洋芋 yáng yù.   Note: 土豆 tǔdòu is understood but rarely used in the capital.  Outside the capital 土豆 is not used at all. To further complicate matters there are many areas outside the capital where people do not speak 普通话 - I am told that generally people can understand (learnt from TV) but do not speak it. I don't have any dialect words for potato.  Also, potato is usually eaten in the capital mashed (with varying amounts of chilli.)   

I would be looking for a lesson containing the different kinds of meat, vegetables, mushrooms etc. which you commonly find on a Chinese menu. Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, mushroom, asparagus, broccoli could be some of the words.

Even though I searched the lessons I did not find one with all these words in it.

Can anybody help

Thanks

Martin
