Lotus seed – signify having many male offspring
* Ginkgo nut – represents silver ingots
* Black moss seaweed – is a homonym for exceeding in wealth
* Dried bean curd is another homonym for fulfillment of wealth and happiness
* Bamboo shoots – is a term which sounds like “wishing that everything would be well”
* Fresh bean curd or tofu is not included as it is white and unlucky for New Year as the color signifies death and misfortune.

I would think the food that they make. Not being a smart a$ $ , they eat white rice, chicken, shrimp, bok choy.
You could probably google it to get the most information on it.

Sushi is Japanese food, not Chinese. Chinese people basically eat the same chicken, pork, beef, fish, vegetables…..most Americans eat but only cooked differently, and served with rice, noodle, buns etc. However Chinese people cook mostly only with vegetable oil and never add cheese, thus getting rid of a lot of unhealthy fat and oil. The key to Chinese food is not what’s being eaten, but how the foods are cooked, and they have much more varieties.

sushi is japanese, not chinese.
In the US, we eat what everyone eats. Urban and suburban People who live in China would eat what they like too. They are very metropolitian and have french, italian, japanese resturants as well as fast food.People who are not in urbanized areas would eat regional food based on the ingredients that were availible. Religion plays a part in what they eat too. Buddhists would eat more vegetables and less meat, muslims would have halal diets (no pork, crustations etc). There are many regions and sub regions, but the main ones are
Sechuan is a hot province and like most hot regions all over the world, the food food tend to be hotter and spicier. schechuan food is from the west where there is no ocean and has almost no seafood. It has dishes like like king pao, orange chicken and orange beef, mopo tofu
Shanghai cuisine from the east has alot of slow cooked food with alot of soy sauce and sugar.
Cantonese (cantonese is what most of us know as “chinese food” beef with oyster sauce, dim sum, steamed fish, sweet sour pork, most shrimp and lobster dishes, phoenix and dragon, chicken curry) from the south
mandarin cuisine is from the north. there is more wheat here so there are more “pancakes” and noodles, duck (including the famous peking duck), fish, seafood and lamb.

A typical Chinese breakfast would be a bowl of congee aka porridge or if Cantonese probably some dim sum, some steamed/fried/boiled snacks like shrimp dumplings or potstickers, and Yam Cha, drink tea. Lotus and banana leaves help season the food that is steamed. Zongzi is also a popular dish that is seen on the breakfast table. It is sticky rice stuffed in leaves with a paste, red bean paste is common, and steamed. That’s breakfast only but better then nothing xd

Which leads to a paradox: why are there no Chinese customers in Chinese-American restaurants, if the foods are essentially the same?
