No. 1 Hotpot

 hot potHotpot (火锅 huǒguō) is a “dish” to tell apart real Chinese food lovers. If you really appreciate hotpot rather than just ordering fired rice, chow mein, and dim sum all the time, you are truly a Chinese cuisine fan!

The secret of whether a hotpot is good or not lies in the broth, in which all the meat slices and vegetables are cooked.

You know, sometimes is utmost important how food is served ... I mean, just look at the pile of alive maggots makes you puke.

And, they were on sale ... in three different breeds/colours ... 

I still ain't hungry as soon as I remember that view from Yingkou outdoor market.

Now, when you step into the Walmart grocery in the city, they sell them in a bowl prepared as salad ... i.e. 'dead'!  ... yummy ...

There are a half dozen styles of Chinese foods based on their original provinces, Cantonese style, Sichuan style, for example.

 

I'll try to give you one popular choice each out of four styles. (Just a guide, no 100% accuracy guaranteed! smiley)

1. Sweet and sour Mandarin Fish (Song Shu Gui Yu) - Jiangsu & Zhejiang style

2. Hotpot (Sichuan Huo Guo) - Sichuan style

3. Roasted piglin (Kao Ru Zhu) - Cantonese style

4. Peking roasted duck (Beijing Kao Ya) - Peking style

 

These options are easy to find and affordable. Hope it helps!

This is the pangolin's smirking revenge on humanity.

 

I can picture the last few pangolins out there in the wild smoking cigars, drinking beer and saying 'oh you like our scales do you humans?  here ... have a pangolin virus to go with it, ya feckers."

Bat is very tasty served in a soup ... I ain't sure how pangolin is cooked. It might be delightful prepped as prosciutto, i.e. raw.

 

Let's get acquainted since you like the food prep. I'll just hand you one of my famous recipes from China:

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
