The sauce can be thinned if too thick by simply adding some more, you guessed it, chicken stock. When the sauce is done, my grandmother usually puts some salt and pours it on some cooked chicken with rice on the sides. The rice she makes (another traditional dish) is delicious and requires a recipe of its own. But after the sauce is nice and ready, pour it on your choice of poultry or even get crative.

A defining trait of every country, whether it be Italy or India, is the type of cuisine that they serve. One of the best ways to gain an understanding of a country’s culture is through their food. While some people would deem other aspects of a culture as more important, it is a feature easiest to explain and relate to. A distinguishing fact is that food is both physical and mental in that its creation takes dedication and effort; food is able to create emotions given the proper setting. As cooking traditions evolved throughout the years, to fit people’s ever changing tastes, so does the culture. They are parallel to each other in that as one aspect of culture changes, so does the food and vice versa. Two of the most popular types of foods in society today are American food, and Chinese food. The typical features of how food is prepared and made, the tastes preferred, the utensils, and the beliefs about the food's properties are all reflections of the American and Chinese cultures.
In a separate bowl cut the large scallions and half medium cabbage to small pieces. Peel and chop the potato, malanga, carrots, turnip, yam and the butter squash. Wash the vegetables and put in a separate boiling water. Cover it and cook it in high heat for an hour. After an hour reduce the heat and add scotch bonnet pepper. Once everything is fully cooked remove it from the pot. Used the cooking water to blend the squash into a puree. For the best flavor pour the vegetables, the squash and the cooking liquid into the pot that cooked the meat. After that add parsley, thyme, and broken spaghetti. If there’s no spaghetti, you can substitute with macaroni. Let them all cook for about an hour or until tender. Once done combine meat with soup and enjoy. You can eat this soup with bread has a side dish.
Once you have everything that is needed, you can begin to prepare the dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take the large mixing bowl and pour the sour cream and the can of mushroom soup into it. I use one can of Campbell's mushroom soup. You can use the off-brand mushroom soup to cut costs if you wish. The end result will be about the same. I also prefer to use fat free sour cream to make it lighter. However, any sour cream would work. You will need eight ounces of sour cream. Stir the sour cream and soup together, and they will blend into a sort of cream sauce. If it is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it. The sauce should slowly drizzle off of the spoon. You also need to prepare the beef. It is totally dependent on your preference as to how much beef you should use. I tend to use about two pounds of lean hamburger. ...

“During the 60s more people came to the UK from Hong Kong. Chinese food first arrived in the UK in the early 19th Century, when Chinese ex-seamen opened restaurants. The first recorded establishment was called The Chinese Restaurant, and is thought to have opened in 1908 in Piccadilly Circus, London” (BBC FOOD, 2014). When they move to another place they try to show their own food culture in many different ways and one of the ways is through open a restaurant. Most of Chinese restaurant has late opening hour, that is why westerner choose Chinese food to eat in the late night. Like what Aubrey Ko said as a research coordinator who worked on the British Chinese Food Culture project “They had a drink in a pub, they were hungry. Then they went to a takeaway Chinese restaurant still open during the night.". For preparing certain dishes from certain country, usually we need specific kitchen utensils. For examples to make a dim sum or dumpling we need bamboo steamers. When Chinese immigrant come to a western country and open the restaurant, they bring the bamboo steamers. For westerners, maybe it is something new when they see how Chinese people steam their food and because of the curiosity they will try it at home. They don't make a dim sum or dumpling, but
For dinner, I made the Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry. I did not have a wok large enough for this dish, so I had to make it in a pot which is probably why it came out more watery than a usual stir fry.

Of course, this is just more of a personal preference.

Numerous cultures are scattered around the world today, and among one of the oldest cultures is the Chinese culture. China has a known history of over 4000 years and has been through more than 15 dynasties.
