Topic: “Salad” is not cooking

James Joyce !OiAYfaaxnU started this discussion 6 years ago #92,737

It is literally throwing raw, uncooked vegetables together. That is not “cooking” and it is no wonder that there are no “salads” in Chinese cuisine.

Does making sushi count as cooking?

Yes, because the rice is cooked, and to a very special, traditional recipe. Thanks.

If you take the vegetables for a salad out of the refrigerator does it count as cooking when they heat up slightly? You are technically applying heat to food by putting them in a warmer place.

Not unless you actively apply heat to change their chemical composition. Thanks.

How about Gazpacho? Is making that cooking or is it a kind of liquid salad in your opinion?

Hahaha ok good one. Technically, vinegar is involved, so the chemical composition of the vegetables is changed.

I'm guessing I shouldn't ask about sashimi, deviled eggs, hummus, or guacamole either.
