3 Dishes from a Chinese Village: absolutely delicious of course!

Welcome to dive into Qinghai's local rural cuisine - my mother-in-law's and her sister's kitchens to be exact. Moving to rural China has been the best thing for me as a food lover. Actually, I don't think you can could call me a food lover before I moved to China - but how I view food changed after moving here. China has so much to appreciate food wise, even in a tiny village like where we live. In this video I am sharing three homemade potato dishes, that were all unknown to me before I came here.

My name is Miriam Follin. I’m a Swedish woman who has been living in-between Sweden and China since 2015. In 2017 I married my husband Yonghong, and we have since had two baby boys. In my videos I share life, culture and tradition (including food!) from China's countryside.
Thank you for watching!

They sure do look SO much alike! And yes, I want that family cookbook too. In fact, I want to come to Qinghai for a month to learn how to cook like that. I could become a vegetarian too...! Of course those dishes look like they take a lot of time - all that potato grating! Lots of steps, but I never fail to feel hungry when I watch you and your mother-in-law cooking. Really cool to see her with her sister. Even their hands look alike when they are cooking - I just love watching your MIL's hands when she's working!

每次看到米粒的视频都感觉生活真的好美好，完全被治愈。米粒的阿姨的关系真的太好了，阿姨特别淳朴和可爱，在她笑着和你开玩笑问你放不放肉，你说不行后她笑着说好，那我也会做得很香那里，我感觉到了家人对你满满的爱和宠溺。可惜这三种饭我竟然都没尝过，等回国了一定要尝尝，土豆是主食真是太符合德国的饮食习惯了，我也要学着做做。

Miri, your mother in law is very considerate, mine always serves meat even when she knows I don't eat it, its a purposely made torture I think, she always pretends she forgets but its this way years now, same with dairy... I developed an allergy after the virus and she keeps on saying our cows are not allergenic like are they magical :( ...I try my best to be calm and nice but it breaks me sometimes, I know we all are just different people but seeing yours she tries any way she can! All tasty dishes! I am making the second one today! I am happy I got to see this as I really wanted to try something new this spring! Sending a big hug. Nat

I love your gentle story telling style Mima where people are foremost rather than a constant narrative voice over...your choice of gentle background music heightens the story you are telling. I too can walk into my back or front garden in the Summer and harvest whatever I need for a meal...food footsteps not food miles. A wonderfully made film that could have lasted even longer and I would still have enjoyed your film just as much. Thank you Mima💗

@DeliaLee8 Жыл бұрын

I agree completely about Miriam's story telling style!

@moxiebombshell Жыл бұрын

Absolutely agree, Kate. Miri's videos are so soothing, yet always teach us something -- sometimes personal, sometimes cultural, sometimes historical, and sometimes educational. There are so many ways to enjoy her videos, too -- we watch them as her vlog, and see how she and her family grow and evolve, and how they navigate life as a multicultural household; we bask in the beautiful shots she captures and revel in her magical, cinematic style; we gain deeper, more human understanding of a country or region we only know from the news or schoolbooks; and of course learn gardening tips and recipes and holidays and crafts and parenting techniques. (I recently discovered another channel that complements Miriam's exceedingly well, I think. It focuses on China as a whole, or rather province by province, but like Miri's it emphasizes the local beauty and our shared humanity. The channel is called Little Chinese Everywhere. I would love if she was able sometime to visit their village and make a video together!)

Back to nature! As life should be. Loved the dishes and love the lifestyle. Wish it would be as simple living in the urban areas, but alas that will never be. This is the real life as it should be, lives lived long and happy. Many people would envy you for this life that is wonderful and so content. Vegetables straight from the garden, who wouldn't want that? No chemicals, no artificial enhancers. When people talk about food from the heavens, this is it.

First time in ages I have been served your video, things have changed, the children are so big! I have not seen any of these recipes though I have seen versions without the potatoes. The vegetable dishes all looked lovely and the potatoe dumplings and noodles especially looked delicious. Your lovely mum in law is precious and her sister. I learned so much from my mil years ago, never forgotten she is still with us but so far away now. She learned how to cook from her husband from mainland China, and added it to her South Indian cooking and eating was good. Like you she did not eat meat but prepared it for those who did…. There is something nice about how in Asia even though there are often many mouths to feed there are also many hands to help too. All that is missing is a means to smell and taste this great cooking…. And as usual your videos have such a nice quality of harmony. Wonderful.

I loved this so much. It seems like there are endless potato recipes in the world. I have tried liangpi noodles a few times and love them. It was interesting to see the way these noodles we served in a similar way but the noodles looked much more dense and hearty. I'm sure living in the village has its challenges but it seems like such a rare opportunity to be completely immersed in another culture that not many other people get to experience. I really love your filmmaking style too xx

My mother in law comes in and does not care at all … she takes over breakfast is frying bacon sausages with onions 🤮 for her and her son.

This all looked delicious ❤ All the grating is very familiar to me as a thuringian (slab dab middle of germany) where potato dumplings are a staple. There are different kinds where you grate raw potatoes, cooked potatoes or you use half and half for the dough. Usually they have a filling of roasted bread dice but you can get creative. The best is when you slice leftover dumplings and fry them 😍 i love your Videos.

Glad to see you are loving, blending-well with your husband family very natural by heart - not force or acting. YOU ARE GROWING WELL WOMEN 🎉 After watching fews others Asian make White female couples, there are Russia women married Chinese man too, it’s make my blood boiling lolz. The mom & dad trying to hard to show their culture for daughter-in-laws, trying so hard to please her around enjoy environment. They also trying to show her their welcome & attention her but her face always swallow & piss off. The mom don’t want even smallest things & make the son feel upset. But she’s really piss off. I’m not here to talk shit to stranger women in internet, but seeing many white ppl looking down & racist towards to Asian ppl is make me angry Come here, I see peaceful, see love beyond above skintone & different cultures . Even simple thing can make ppl feel happy & feel enough to cherish, to grateful. Your mom-in-law is very traditional countryside women - same in my country, always take care of families & kids - to them even 30-40yo son/daughter still their babies 😅 Mom cooking so well, food look great 👍 Love the way she still growing alots foods in her yards garden.

Im an american chinese that took some time acclimating while I lived there but loved every minute. I love potatoes so thank you for these videos. I was hoping to see the meat version, though. Does the whole family have to eat vegetarian now? Or just when you are with them? Your mother in law is adorable!
