It's usually prepared so bones is not an issue. Is it a Sichuan dish, the name of the dish escapes me right now.

@martian: You got me laffin', bro. Exactly my reaction when I saw what looked like ET at his funeral (check out the head) with Alien shit springing from his chest and shit. I wouldn't touch that dish in a million years no matter how good it tastes, coz it sure looks creepy!

In your list, I'd go with the egg cake. If you manage to make it without the "fresh" eggy taste.

maggiegirly:

Hey Maggie! I love crispy-skin chicken with the, what is it, gooseberry sauce on the side? I know it isn't on your menu, but that is my favorite Chinese dish.

Back home, I never ever eat chicken skin, even off buffalo wings. Just don't enjoy the texture. However, this crispy-skin chicken dish is amazing and the skin is better than the meat.

Now to your post: I vote for dishes 2 and 3. And what time is dinner?

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

maggiegirly:

I know that dish,It's delicious especially the skin like you said.

Thanks for the Vote.

Dinner will be on Wednesday next week.Wanna join us?LOL

Fried "fen si" with... well, I never knew what he made it with. Vegetables and stuff.

But that guy that was selling them in that stand on the left of the elevator on the -1 floor of that Chinese supermarket around Daxuelu sure made the best glass noodles ever. You know the place.

I like condiment dishes, for pickles and soy sauce. An excellent creation, especially when made using the finest bone china.

A really well done Gongbao Chicken is my comfort food but out the four you chose I reckon you should do the beef and the Mao style dish. Hope it goes well.

Hmmmm, I wouldn't go with the vinegar dish. I'd definitely go with the beef dish.

My favourite food in China was Uyghur style lamb kebabs and naan.... not exactly stereotypically Chinese and not very healthy! I also really loved the eggplant and green capsicum dish that you get everywhere (can't remember the Chinese name, sorry...)

Soya chicken has been my first choice, followed by the soup - ginger chicken soup my wife makes.

Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have be

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information. I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
