儿子你喜欢吃炒菜，可以先炒制一些肉片，肉丁，或者是肉丝等等，用碗装好，放在冰箱里，炒菜的时候掺一点进去即可，比如芹菜，豆干 胡萝卜 白菜等等各种你喜欢吃的蔬菜，炒至将熟的时候，掺进炒好的肉一起再炒即可。起锅时间你慢慢地试，熟而不老即可。将瘦肉片切好,放少盐,酒,水,加鸡蛋清(用量视肉片多少而定),再用淀粉拌和.然后锅内放油,用旺火加热,将肉片下锅,勺子搅散,随即捞起,倒出锅内佘油,再加作料炒成即可.无论是肉丝,肉丁还是肉条,均可如比炒得滑嫩可口.

酒是料酒，专门做菜的，超市都有售，做鱼，或者牛羊肉都可用，将有最好用生抽，可以凉拌，也能炒菜，味道好，颜色也不是太暗。老抽只适合做红绕放少许。

洋葱炒牛肉 材料：天然红红酒一瓶（待会你们饭桌上装情调的就是它了），牛肉适量，洋葱一只，青椒红椒各一只。步骤：牛肉洗净切小块，加老抽腌片刻，洋葱切块（邮电刺眼不准哭！），青椒红椒切块。热油热锅，牛肉下锅炒至变色，加点红酒（别舍不得，多加点！）淹没牛肉，盖锅盖中火焖一会，汤剩一半时开锅，这时候牛肉应该是漂亮的火红色，换大火翻炒，加入洋葱与青红椒块，放盐，再放一点点色拉油（起增加光泽的效果），起锅装盘，也可以用一点西红柿皮卷成玫瑰花苞型配一根香菜做装饰。成菜特点：香味浓郁，色泽光亮，成品美观。、易发事故：牛肉煮不烂，洋葱刺眼。处理方法：选择用来炒的嫩牛肉，切块时注意大小。洋葱放水里切成大块再捞上来慢慢整理，可防止刺激眼睛。

使牛肉鲜嫩法：　　(1)牛肉纤维粗老，炒后吃起来往往发韧。怎样在较短时间内将牛肉炒得烂而不韧呢?首先要注意刀口，要顺纹切条，横纹切片，再加酱油、料酒、白糖、蛋液、淀粉，用清水调成液汁，与切好的牛肉片拌匀，腌渍15分钟，然后加生油25g封面，再浸渍一两小时，这样油分子会渗入肉中，当入油锅内炒时，肉中油分子急速膨胀，粗纤维被破坏，炒出的肉就鲜嫩可口了。　　(2)烧煮牛肉时，放进一点冰糖，可使牛肉很快酥　　(3)将生姜捣碎取汁，生姜渣留做调料用，将姜汁拌入切好的牛肉中，每500g牛肉加1汤匙姜汁，在常温下放置1小时后即可烹调，可使肉鲜嫩可口，香味浓郁。

妈妈先说这些，你先试一试

葱姜大蒜辣椒胡椒糖 …………1茶匙味精 …………0.5茶匙酱油 …………1大匙淀粉 …………少许 错了，我说的常用的佐料，上面这一条删掉。大蒜 姜 花椒 胡椒 酱油（生抽用得较多）料酒淀粉 葱 蒜苗 糖（提鲜的，可放少许）醋 （需要时可滴几滴）辣椒可以备一瓶老干妈，需要时用少许 这些佐料可以备一些 ，特别是姜和大蒜用的最普遍，炒菜时油烧热了先炸一点在放菜，味道好一些

健康，开心度过每一天！

This is a fragment from my reply to a friend seeking abroad study program in China.

So yes, I have a million and one questions about China, it’s beautiful places and beautiful people. Where shall I start? How about one question at a time….

1) Who are you? And what makes YOU uniquely Chinese? (Besides the fact that you were born in China). More specifically, what beliefs were you raised with?

———-Ru, Tao, Chinese history. Although twisted and transformed by the culture revolution, those are still the very origin of the belief of a Chinese.

2) Has your Chinese identity changed at all since you arrived to the US? And if so, how?

Yes. As I said before, by communicating with people from all over the world, I’m changing my own way of life to combine the merit of them all. I’m quite open minded.

3) How do Chinese people perceive Americans in China? (Americans that study abroad, versus Americans who live and work there).

They don’t distinguish American students and American workers. They think Americans are wealthy, fashionate, arrogant, cool, sex-indulging, lazy, frequent practitioners of one night stand and they won’t be surprised if an American commits any crazy deed:) Some think Americans are superior, some think Americans are foolish. All of them think Americans are from Mars or somewhere before they really meet some. And, for most Chinese who have had a fair amount of communication with Americans, they’ll be happy to learn that you are not that different from them and you’re willing to make friends.

4) Have you ever seen Latinos in China? How about South American women?

I couldn’t distinguish a Latinos or a south American women from blond in China. It’s still hard for me now.
