Blog #2 Alvin Gao

I feel like I used a little bit of each text into my narrative especially hongs, but I’ve definitely used pathos the most. I also used a technique that Hong used at the end of her passage, a question. The pathos that hong uses matches well with what i have written currently. I think.

  • Chinese sausages (however many you want)( I don’t remember which kind GL)
  • Water
  • Pan
  • Soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Chop up the sausages to whatever size you want
  2. Put the sausage in the pan and wait for it to slightly crisp up on high heat
  3. Afterwards, pour in a 1:1 ratio of soy sauce and water (make sure the sausages are almost covered)
  4. Turn heat down to medium
  5. Put sugar in(however much you want)
  6. Cover with a lid and wait till it is cooked through (roughly 10-15 minutes)
  7. Optional – you can let it simmer for longer for the soy sauce to condense or use cornstarch
  8. Plate it and you’re done

I don’t particularity have a relationship with this dish, other than that I was pretty much addicted to this for a whole summer. Savory dishes tend to pair really well with rice so it was really great since I have rice almost every day. Really makes your hands move on their own. Obviously this probably isn’t the healthiest dish, but it is good. I can gurantee that at least. I remember altering the recipe if I ever felt like I wanted a different kick, literally just putting jalapenos changes the flavor. The spice rouses your appetite especially if you are hungry and just got home. I remember burning it sometimes because I left the stove to do something, I will just say it was too salty and I had to force it down, don’t wanna waste food after all.
I don’t eat this anymore but if I have the ingredients… I just might…….
