Chinese

I went with my French family on a Chinese food shopping spree yesterday and I cooked today for lunch (the first real Chinese food I've had since May -- god, AGES!). Things I've missed about Chinese food without realising it for the last 4 months:

1. The smell and taste and warmth of Chinese tea.

2. The smell of rice cooking by reduction.

3. Bok choy.

4. Meat in a sweet, sticky and caramelised sauce.

5. Soup with rice in it.
