Of course, there are many blogs and places where you can find loads and loads of information on Chinese recipes but in my attempt to cook it here in Greece, I find it challenging as I could not get my hands on many ingredients. You see, I depend on public transport so specialty shop is out of the question and I am not going to travel for over an hour to get something just for a meal. To my own surprise, I find that I could actually make some dishes that have impressed friends and no, they are not fusion. These are actually very basic Chinese cooking that many have forgotten. There are some that is Malaysian, something I grew up with and some that I came across when I lived and worked in China. They are the everyday Chinese/Malaysian dishes. I am talking about something exotic, different and new that can be a casual meal or part of a feast.
If you are Greek and love Chinese food and bold enough to try new things, I hope you would find a thing or two that is useful. I assure you that you do not need big investment to cook authentic Chinese and you could cook well using mostly what you can find in any Greek open market or supermarket. Support your local community by using as much local produce as much as possible, it is good for your health, good for the local community, good for your pocket, good for the environment and definitely good enough to impress your friends.
