Why Chinese Cooks Smash Cucumbers Instead of Slicing Them

Welcome to my channel. I’m Mei. Here, we explore Traditional Chinese Medicine food traditions, seasonal ingredients, comforting recipes, and practical ways to bring more intention to everyday meals. Each video shares calm, easy-to-understand ideas around Chinese food culture and TCM-inspired nourishment. From silky steamed eggs and warming soups to seasonal ingredients and simple kitchen routines, the focus is on flavour, tradition, balance, and everyday enjoyment. You do not need to change everything at once. This is a space to stay curious, try new ingredients, and discover small food traditions at your own pace. Subscribe for a new video every week as we explore Chinese food traditions and their place in everyday life.
