I’m not saying PFChang’s isn’t any good, I can’t I’ve never been there. I’m just expressing my opinion in regard to chains in general.
It won’t be quite the same using long grain rice, but I just might have to try making some rolls of some sort here again soon. I’ve got to do something with all the rice I have in the house. I totally forgot I had a 10 pound bag and proceeded to not only buy another 10# bag of regular rice, but I also bought a 5# bag of Jasmine rice.
LOL! well you can see why i jumped ugly with you when you dissed my favorite restaurant, with you knowing nothing about it and never having been! food snobbery is really no more attractive than any other sort!
I love chinese food and have tried a lot of different places - Changs has a dish called DanDan Noodles - spicy ground chicken with noodles, cucumber and carrots - exceptional!
You have had a lot more opportunities to have ethnic foods since you grew up in such a huge city. I’m sure eating in Chinatown was cool, or going to the Indian or Russian areas was interesting - I grew up in a town of 100,000 people in the South - if it wasn’t fried, it wasn’t on the menu. Occasionally a breaded baked fish - but other than that, it was fried. We didn’t get much opportunity for unusual foods - Pizza was our italian - everything else was just plain old American or TexMex. ;^)
