Siomai (shumai) has been around for about 700 years, originating in northern
China and gaining fame in places like Canton and Hong Kong. It’s a tasty dish made
with a thin wrap of flour and hot water, usually filled with a mix of pork, shrimp, and
mushrooms Chefs shape it into cute flower-like cups and steam it. People in Hong
Kong love siomai so much that they consume over 400 million of them every year,
What’s interesting is that siomai isn’t just enjoyed in fancy teahouses-it’s become
popular street food too. Some vendors even sell it raw and frozen for folks to cook at
home.
Despite its rich history, making siomai is quite simple, allowing for creativity and
easy mass production. This makes siomai a convenient snack for takeout or as a
Looking at food trends, in 2021, the American Frozen Food Institute expected
people to look for healthier, plant-based, and convenient food. This trend has led to

Pangasius
The Striped Catfish is a fish with a long, flat body, no scales, and big eyes. It’s
also known as the Iridescent shark-catfish, Sutchi catfish, and Pangasius. When it’s
young, it has black stripes, but as it grows up, it turns mostly gray with a hint of green
In terms of biology, this catfish loves freshwater and eats both plants and other
small creatures. It’s also really good at making lots of baby catfish.
When it comes to farming these catfish in Vietnam, they use a smart method
First they use special hormones on the fish parents to get them ready to have
babies. Then, they take the eggs and tiny fish (larvae) to special ponds. After three
months, the little catfish move to bigger ponds or cages in rivers Finally, after about
6-7 months, the catfish are big enough to be caught and eaten.
But sometimes, these catfish can get sick. They might get something called
Bacillary necrosis or MAS, which are like fish diseases. It’s like when people catch a
cold, but for fish. People in charge of taking care of the catfish need to watch out for
these things.
Chao Fan
The story of Chinese fried rice goes way back to ancient times, like the Sui
dynasty (589-618 CE) in a city called Yangzhou But the stir-frying method it uses has
been around even longer, becoming super popular during the Ming dynasty (1368-
1644 CE).
Back in the day, it was a smart way to use up leftovers, like meat and veggies
from the day before. They were still good but needed a makeover. The classic recipe
usually mixes shrimp, pork, and egg, all stir-fried with garlic and veggies and flavored
Even though fried rice has changed a bit over time and has different versions,
the main idea sticks around. What’s awesome is you can toss in more stuff to make it
your own In the researchers version. They have added a little twist to make it extra
tasty.
