EAL Segment - Today we will talk about one of China's traditional foods.
● One of China's favorite foods is Kung Pao, a tasty twist on chicken. It's got a mix of savory and sweet flavors with a bit of a spicy kick. Peanuts add a nice nutty taste. It's a bit spicy because of the chilies and special peppercorns, but you can make it less spicy by using fewer spicy things.
● Sweet and sour pork is another popular dish in Chinese cuisine enjoyed by many. It involves coating pork pieces in a batter and deep-frying them until crispy. The fried pork is then stir-fried with chunks of pineapple and colorful bell peppers, creating a vibrant and flavorful combination.
