    I like that Amy is unapologetic about the killing of the chicken. Where do people think our food comes from? The chicken was healthy, well looked after and had freedom to roam its whole life. And then they didn't just cook the 'best' bits, but used every part, blood, innards, everything except the feathers. This is what responsible animal husbandry and food consumption looks like. I really enjoyed this video.

    I think there has been a misunderstanding here. Amy, I know you asked if you should dip the bread into the sauce, but they thought you asked if the breads are going to fall into the pot, they kept saying: "no no the bread will stick to the side, this is how they do it, it won't fall".

    Hi Amy, I think the corn bread can be dipped in, just not straight into the wok,rather scooping up the juice into a bowl then dipping in. During that conversation, you were asking whether it can be 沾著吃,yet the question was mistaken as whether the bread would fall into the wok, and they answered, 不會掉下去,no, ‘it was designed this way, won’t fall’⋯⋯

      Yes, there are actually many others, such as sweet water noodles, red oil fried noodles, and Sichuan style cold noodles. These noodles must be added with white sugar, and the traditional Sichuan chili sauce must have a sour, sweet, and spicy taste, so it is called a strange taste, which is authentic.

      Tomatoes entered China during the Ming Dynasty and were initially consumed in a fruit cup. When I was young, my parents often bought vegetables and quickly washed me a tomato to eat directly. It was large. A traditional cold dish, cut tomatoes into pieces, sprinkle with white sugar, and wait for more than half an hour, will be a must-have for summer heat relief, especially the juice in the bowl is particularly delicious.
