Lets Eat!: Shareable Foods
 
Chicken Lettuce Wraps meant to be shared!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps meant to be shared!

 

Food is an important part of Chinese people's lives. Food is not only seen as enjoyment but also a way to bring others together such as family and friends. 

There are several dishes on the Windchimes menu's that "shareable". Such as the Shrimp Toast, Chicken Lettuce wraps, or the Mango Shrimp. Just look at the portion of food that is presented when it comes hotly out of the kitchen. It's HUGE! It' also, usually, plated in a way that makes it easy to share and allows everyone to enjoy in the deliciousness of the food!

Sharing isn't just a nice act to do when enjoying a meal, it's also good manners in Chinese culture. Food is very important and has a deep rooted history of not only flavors but also courtesy. There is a lot of respect that goes into dining like presenting the best food to senior members of the family first to honor them. Also celebrating special moments in ones life like a birthday (or maybe Mother's Day) at a Chinese Restaurant to eat noodles not only shows respect for tradition but also is a great way to enjoy a meal with the important people in your life.

Being able to share food is also a way to be more adventurous and try a few different flavors. Why not try Hunan Pork or the Sizzling House Noodles. Take your taste buds on an adventure and why not bring a friend along for the ride.

TheRiceBowl: How to make Cajun Spice!

At the Windchimes Chinese, we take the time to offer you authentic Chinese cuisine but we also love to explore and incorporate other culture's flavors and techniques into our menu.   For instance, Our Pacific Shrimp is lighting battered shrimp laid onto a bed of fresh spinach and pasta all drizzled over with a cajun sauce. This delicious dish is a true Asian fusion style dish incorporating American Cajun, Chinese, and Italian cuisines.

Cajun cuisine comes out of Louisiana.  The history goes back to the French speaking Acadian culture who were deported from Canada by the British after the French and Indian War.  Because the landscape and weather was so different in Louisiana from Canada, the Acadian culture had to adapt their cuisine to what vegetables and spices were available.  Not to forget to mention, they were also influenced by the Spanish settlers that were also settling in Louisiana at the time.  Hence the spicy Cajun spices.

There are many spices found in Cajun Spice mixes, but the main ingredients are: bay leaf, oregano, bell peppers, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili pepper, celery, garlic, onion, and parsley.  

Next time you are visiting Windchimes for a bite to eat. Try our Pacific Shrimp and experience the fusion of a multicultural cuisine.
