Aside from the popular three-cup chicken, pork belly buns, and beef noodles, what other dishes do you think deserve recognition and why? A true-blue traditional Taiwanese dish is Danzai noodles, a tradition from fisherman during the off-season for their catch.

Another more-old fashioned Taiwanese dish is the chewy, dumpling-like snack, ba-wan. Do you think the emergence of Taiwanese restaurants over the last few years has contributed to an increase in interest in Taiwanese cuisine? Why else do you think this has happened?

What dish do you recommend a newbie try making first? What dish is a must-try even if it may or may not be a little challenging? I think people should try making the Chicken with Rice! I wanted to capture a range of dishes, from popular street foods to home cooking. Considering that Taiwan is made up of immigrants from the mainland, why do you think Taiwanese cooking has evolved so differently? But it was for health reasons that my parents encouraged us to eat it regularly.

The tofu sauce sounds great for any vegetable, like zucchini. Hello Nami-san, I also made bitter melon once and had a bad experience so have never done it again.

I was growing up eating bitter melons, but this is absolutely new to me.

Bitter melon and tofu sound like an interesting combination. Now as it gets warmer here in Tokyo I saw a lot of fresh bitter melons in the market. I have to try this. I appreciate this recipe as a variant from the ones we use here; sounds delicious and easy to prepare. What an interesting sauce! Can I used uncooked bitter gourd to make this dish?

Or, maybe the bitter gourd I ate was not a very bitter one. One ingredient is crunchy and the other mushy… you know what I mean?
