Q: What kind of seasonings do people use to cook?

I'm not talking about spices. What I mean is all those mysterious bags they use, like chicken flavoring. On average, how many does you or someone you know use per dish? Is there a special type that's really good?

I use the one (chicken flavor) made by Knor here in China.  Depending on what I am cooking will be the quantity I use, from a little sprinkle to a couple of tablespoons if beginning a hot pot.  I only use the chicken flavor, for beef I boil bones in water.

But since directions are in Chinese, I use amounts by trial and error, if too much use less next time, or viceversa

I use salt and pepper. I want to make Chilli, so I bought chilli powder, which is not correct, it should be cayenne pepper and cumin, but isn't , had to buy cumin, which doesn't taste right either.  mixed chilli powdwer and cumin is close to correct for our chilli powder.

 

TedDBayer:

i have almost made chilli, the seasoning is OK, .,, simmer on dudes
 edit; I learned about cooking beans today for chilli, soak and cook beans fully, I soaked and cooked them in tomatoe sauce, the acid in tomatoes stops the beans from cooking fully and getting soft, so the beans are kinda firm. The chilli is edible and beer goes good with it.  I have ammo for the bus ride now.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
