Chinese Breakfast Recipes

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Breakfast
 is the first meal taken after rising from a night's sleep, most often 
eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's work.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
 it comes to food, Chinese are equally diverse as they are in language 
dialects. Food habits are also influenced by regions, as China is has a 
vast territory that contains deserts, steppes, grasslands and icy 
mountains. It is due to the diversity of the climate, products and 
customs that there are widely different food styles and tastes in local 
regions. One thing is for certain though. Chinese cuisine is highly 
appreciated and sought-after all over the world, because of its 
aromatic, delicious and exotic dishes.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some
 other exotic dishes from the Chinese cuisine include the bird's nest 
Soup, the Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Dofu, Shark Fin Soup, the Buddha 
Jumping Over the Wall dish, Prawn with Dragon's Body and Phoenix's tail,
 or Squirrel with Mandarin Fish.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">China
 is one of the colossal civilizations that history gave us. Their 
traditions, customs and culture are almost unmatchable by a lot of the 
current peoples of the World. Their diversity and fascinating way of 
life have made China one of the jewels of Asia. Putting that together 
with the fact that it’s the most populous country in the World and that 
it is one of the dominant powers of today, gives you the idea on how big
 China really is...</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Considered
 both a craft and an art, Chinese cuisine has been developing and 
getting richer since the oldest times. During the reign of Emperor fu 
(20 centuries B.C.), Chinese people learned how to fish and hunt, but 
also agriculture and cooking began their evolution. The Chinese cooking 
and food decorating got to the status of high art during the Chou 
Dynasty and then it was influenced by Confucianism and Taoism. The 
principles of Confucius promoted the etiquette of food and the joy that 
it can bring. Taoism promoted health and hygienic aspects of cooking, as
 the body should be is search for longevity. Based on the spectrum of 
these 2 major directions, Chinese cuisine doesn’t include unhealthy 
food, as most of the dishes are low-calorie and low-fat. Added to this, 
Chinese explored numerous kinds of herbs, spices, seeds, roots and 
plants and used them in natural traditional dishes and all aliments that
 Chinese consume have both a physiological need and a spiritual one, as 
they can bring joy, prosperity or happiness.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thanks
 to these authentic values, Chinese cuisine is considered nowadays one 
of the most valuable culinary heritages in the world. A Chinese 
traditional meal consists of carbohydrates and zhushi, or main food. The
 carbs are found in rice, noodles, dough and pastries based dishes and 
the veggies and meats are considered starch.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
 is a biography of the "English breakfast", a culinary detective story 
and a cookbook rolled into one. It tells the often-surprising tale of 
the English breakfast and presents authentic facsimile Victorian and 
Edwardian recipes and menus for forgotten breakfast and sideboard 
delights from the heyday of this best of all meals, by four celebrated 
culinary figures of the period - Georgiana Hill who catered for the 
grandest houses, the pukka colonial Colonel Kenney-Herbert, the 
galloping 'Major L' who rode to hounds and ran with the hunting set, and
 the bright and bustling Miss M L Allen, a paragon among housekeepers. 
Including six hundred and fifty recipes along with menu plans and 
instructions for breakfast table settings, this is a cracking good 
culinary read. Experienced cooks can use the recipes with little 
difficulty, inexperienced cooks can begin with the simpler recipes of 
which there are many, and those interested in social and culinary 
history can use the cookbooks as texts.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Soft breakfast tacos<br /><br /><br />Ingredients<br />2 vine-ripened tomatoes, seeds removed, finely chopped<br />1 red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped<br />1/4 cup sliced coriander leaves<br />1 tablespoon olive oil<br />4-6 drops Tabasco sauce (optional)<br />4 white-flour tortillas<br />8 eggs, lightly beaten<br />1/4 cup (60ml) pure (thin) cream<br /><br />For the salsa, combine tomato, chilli, half the coriander and 2 teaspoons of oil. Add Tabasco if desired, and season to taste.<br /><br />Wrap
 the stacked tortillas in paper towel, place on a plate and microwave on
 high for 1 minute. Turn stack and heat for a further 30 seconds. Or 
heat in the oven according to packet directions.<br /><br />Lightly
 whisk the eggs with the cream and remaining coriander. Season. Heat 
remaining oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, pour in eggs and, 
using a wooden spoon, fold for 2 minutes until scrambled and almost set.
 Remove from the heat. Working with one tortilla at a time (keep the 
rest covered as you work), spoon some egg down the centre, top with 
salsa and fold over the sides to enclose. Secure with a paper napkin if 
desired, and serve with any remaining salsa on the side.</span></div>

Colcannon Hash - Breakfast

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Every year about this time, I try to do some kind of
culinary nod to St. Patrick’s Day, and this colcannon hash is the latest
example. I really loved how this came out, and it made a beautiful, and
delicious base for poached eggs, but there was one problem. Apparently, I
didn’t invent this.

if it were, this would be perfect. Although, we might have some leftover corned
beef the day after, which would make this even more amazing; so maybe we should
forget St. Pa<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">dd</span>y’s Day breakfast, and turn this into a hearty, day-after hangover
cure instead. Either way, I really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!</span></span></div>

In fact, you may not feel happy until lunch time? Sound familiar? Read on to find out how you can break the 'fast past' for good.

'Eating breakfast increases your metabolism and gives you the energy you need to start your day properly. It will aid your cognitive skills as you will be more alert. Digestion is improved, which helps you eliminate unwanted toxins and breaks down 'bad' fats,' says DR Jenkins. GP with a special interest in weight loss and nutrition. Research show children who regularly eat breakfast have improved concentration, better standardized test scores and are less hyperactive.<br /><br />This shows that adults will also perform better at work. The author Somerset Maugham once said. 'The only way to eat well in England is to have breakfast 3 times a day.' So why are we depriving ourselves? Researchers say skipping breakfast has become more common among adults in recent years, perhaps due to efforts to lose weight and time pressures. The fact is skipping breakfast makes you fatter! Yet over 40% of us assume it will help as lose weight. 'We think we are saving on calories but too often we replace these calories throughout the day by nibbling and binging.

A couple days ago I woke up wanting cake for breakfast. You can't eat cake for breakfast I thought. That is just not right. But it was what I wanted. Man did I want it.<br /><br />I ate a banana in an attempt to distract myself from this craving. Didn't work. Maybe a hard boiled egg. I am just need some protein. That will take care of things. Nope. I simply need more to eat, but it needs to be good for me so how about a bowl of oatmeal. Well the oatmeal was good, but I still wanted cake.<br /><br />Screw it! No one is here to see me eat it anyway. Mmmmm cake. A big piece of chocolate cake. German chocolate cake to be exact, with that yummy coconut pecan frosting on top. This was so good. Why haven't I ever eaten this for breakfast before?<br /><br />Because I shouldn't that is why. What is this "shouldn't" anyway? I mean did anyone ever actually say "You shouldn't eat cake for breakfast." to me before. No. After all, we eat panCAKEs for breakfast don't we? It is more of an implied "should." Because no one had ever offered me cake for breakfast, I ended up believing that it is not a breakfast food.<br /><br />But seriously, it is no worse for me than the super sized cup of coffee and a doughnut that many folks start their day with. And don't even get me started about minimally nutritional nuggets with names like Lucky Charms, Captain Crunch or Fruit Loops that many of us were served as breakfast staples growing up.<br /><br />So why shouldn't I eat cake for breakfast? No reason at all. As it turned out, the only way I was going to be satisfied was to have cake for breakfast. And what is wrong with being satisfied? Seems like a pretty good way to start the day to me. Such a good way that I had cake for breakfast again today.<br /></div>
