You'll note I listed Hunan as a more specific style of Chinese food that I like (things like Northwestern are regional, but don't follow the usual designations). Pink, the woman I nearly married, was a farm girl from Hunan. Her mother sent us whole racks of Hunan style smoked pork so Pink could enjoy home-style food. It was old fashioned cured ham and ribs. I could have beaten an ox to death with one of those hams before it was prepared (heavy, dense, and hard as oak), but darned it was marvelous when she cooked with it. When I got sick, her family had a fit, but she made sure to leave me some treats. I still have a couple of pounds of her favorite, the fat from the ribs, and I use it now and then. It is so fragrant that just a bit can flavor a whole dish.Originally Posted by Medium9
Strangely enough though, it seems it isn't. Food historians trace it back to building the Great Wall. Check it out.Originally Posted by Medium9
Fried noodles are a thing here too. Think of it a bit like American hamburgers, everyone does their own spin on it, but well ... it's a burger. Sort of like Italy, you may find distinctions made by the shape of the noodle, and that influences how it is treated. Here is one kind:Originally Posted by Medium9
But here is another:
Noodles. Fried. Both are good.
With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.
My own countries, with this topping the list.
Followed by Italian, mainly for their pasta dishes.
>.> I have mixed feelings about that one. We have a large Korean community here, and I have been taken to heavily Korean areas for "good" Korean food by friends -- including Korean students.Originally Posted by Freighter
That version looks like it could be good, but that isn't what I've gotten here. What I get (even in places supposed to be good) is a so-so black bean sauce slopped on some noodles, leaving me wondering ... "and then"? What the hell, where are the goodies!
While the dish has a long history in Korea (and the US would say the same to explain American pizza), it is a Chinese dish, and one that holds a particular place of pride in Old Beijing cuisine. The Great Firewall obviously thinks that somehow "black bean noodles" is a dodgy search that might have deep and hidden meaning, so Bing has been less than cooperative in coughing up a picture of the Beijing style with a big bowl of noodles and many small bowls of things to dress them with. This is the closest could manage and I'd consider it a "meh" version of the real stuff:

@Freighter Sigh. Well, today naver works, I won't bet on 8 hours later, but then 12 hours after that it might -- If I'm searching how to cook acorns. /cry Daum didn't load though.
Edit:
@Medium9 I missed your post as I was replying. Apologies.
I did a search on bami goreng and it seems pretty much in the same tradition. Here, I might order one of those dishes as all or most of a meal on my own. In a group though, what keeps it from being the whole meal for me is the style of ordering a meal in groups. Instead of each person ordering one thing (a main and sides), one orders maybe a dish or two for each person and a couple of extra dishes (and then everybody grabs some). That means one person doesn't have to plow through the whole plate, and there needs to be enough good stuff for more than one person to get a good share.

Bami goreng is generic term for fried (goreng) noodle (mie) with meat (bak). Goreng is a Malay word, mie and bak Hokkienese. The variations of the dish are almost infinite depending on the regions in Malaysia & Indonesia. The Dutch has their own variations. When I was in Australia, I ended up eating Mi Goreng Fried Chicken burger at a restaurant in Sydney. It was ridiculously delicious.
@Rasulis About what I thought, although searching in English tended to play up the Dutch connection more.

in that order.
A proper goulash is deep red from paprika. It also contains vegetables (at least potatoes and carrots, often parsley) and is not wall-to-wall beef.
