Chinese Food dish

Well, since you are expecting to "get slammed," I'll just say that Camper's dish and photo look better to me. Enjoy.

I agree! The cucumber slices placed that way is something I'd do for a child. :)

I have eaten injera but that looks like a wet paper bag in the photo.

Just my opinion if we're being honest in this thread.

Obviously, I fully expect to get slammed, here, no matter what pic I post. Enjoy this sauteed green beans and pan-seared tofu on a bed of rice noodles on a bed of Injeras with garden grown Armenian cucumber slices, homegrown tomato halves, black olives and a strawberry topper to sweeten the finish. Bon appetit!

Pan seared tofu? I've never tried it oe injweas.

On the photography level? The lighting could be improved.
 
I think all these dishes look good. Vegans use a lot of tofu, and pan searing it (I usually use sesame oil) is a common prep. I've never had Injeras but looked it up (basically sourdough flatbread).

I'll likely try both of the vegan recipes, but using what I have around - which wouldn't include rice noodles, fried noodles or Injeras.

Treeguy, I think you were unnecessarily harsh in your criticism of the OP's presentation and photography. Not all of us are skilled photographers or food stylists - indeed some of the most attractively presented foods are the least tasty. Think homemade cakes and cookies versus commercial bakery offerings.

Perhaps I was a bit harsh. It's just that as soon as I saw the pic, I got a very sick feeling in my stomach, absolutely no lie. It truly looked, to me, like what I wrote, earlier, and won't repeat.

OMG agreed the times I've sat at a 12 person round table in HK and China was not just a food experience but a social one par excellance!!
 
Whatever they call it - Chinese, Americanized Chinese, I like it. However, I don't get it much as a take out - kinda on the salty side for me. I drool over egg rolls, but again, fried in grease. Years ago, we used to have to go to a "big city" to get Chinese food, now there are two of them right here in town. It's getting expensive, too. The last time I got a quart of lo mein and 3 egg rolls it was almost $15.
 
Anyone know why the Chinese cut up their food prior to serving?? They considered it barbaric to cut in to food at the table. At least they used to until America sent them KFC, McDonalds and Pizza Hut.:upset:
