This dish is loved for its rich flavors and satisfying texture, making it a perfect vegan option for those looking to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine. Ingredients 2 large potatoes 2 medium aubergines (eggplants) 1 green bell pepper 1 red bell pepper 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar Salt to taste Cooking oil Chopped spring onions (optional, for garnish) Preparation DiSanXian is a straightforward dish to prepare, requiring basic cooking techniques and common ingredients. Here's how to make it: Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices or wedges. Cut the aubergines into bite-sized pieces. Remove the seeds from the bell peppers and cut them into strips. Step 2: Fry the Vegetables Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato slices until they are golden and crispy, then remove and set aside. Next, fry the aubergine pieces until they are tender and slightly browned, then remove and set aside. Finally, fry the bell pepper strips for a few minutes until they are slightly softened. Step 3: Combine and Season In the same wok or pan, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the fried potatoes, aubergines, and bell peppers back into the pan. Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the sauce and heated through. Step 4: Serve Transfer the DiSanXian to a serving plate and garnish with chopped spring onions, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal. Tips and Variations Adjusting Spice Level: If you prefer a spicier version, add some chopped chili peppers or a pinch of chili flakes to the dish. Additional Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, onions, or zucchini for more variety and nutrition. Low-Oil Option: For a healthier version, you can roast the vegetables instead of frying them. Toss them with a little oil and roast in the oven until tender and lightly browned. Sauce Variations: Experiment with different sauces, such as adding a touch of hoisin sauce for sweetness or using black bean sauce for a deeper flavor.

YuánMíngYuán was the original Summer Palace in BeiJing and sometimes referred to as the 'Old Summer Palace'. YuanMingYuan lies 8 kilometers (5 miles) northwest of central Beijing, close to the (new) Summer Palace (YíHéYuán 颐和园). It was constructed during the 18th and early 19th centuries and was a wonderland of lakes and waterways, bridges, hills and pavilions. There were originally towers, terraces, pavilions, halls, corridors, pagodas and bridges with a total construction area of 150,000 square meters. Artisans were recruited from all over China to enact the exquisite settings. Many of the 160 scenic spots were reproductions of famous mountains, rivers and famous gardens in China. The various styles of architecture, standing encircled by hills and streams, presented a most picturesque view. In addition, hundreds of invaluable Chinese art masterpieces and antiquities were stored in the halls, including some unique copies of literary works and collections. YuanMingYuan was, indeed, a veritable museum of garden construction and horticulture. Known to be one of the largest museums in the world, a popular name in China was the 'Garden of Gardens'. In 1860 during the 'Second Opium War', YuanMingYuan was looted then burned down by imperialist British and French troops. So great was the devastation that a new Summer Palace was later built nearby.

YT comment : "I always thought that the Chinese people were brainwashed, and then I found out that it was me!" Some thoughts on why China is such a safe country : At root, crime is down to poverty and an over-the-top individualism. Western style democracy is really divide and rule - the moneyed elite love it, how the people are so easily fooled and controlled. Projection - what the West accuses China of are actually its own faults. Western democracy is top down and all about big money. In China, democracy is bottom up and meritocratic. The reason for the West's antagonism is not about politics, but success; the US wants to control the whole world (hegemony); and Western style democracy, if they can establish it in other countries, makes that easy. Friendly people are happy people.
