Food is a big part of our history and culture. For example, zongzi reminds us of the historical story of Qu Yuan, which has been passed down through generations. The food we eat also teaches us more about the important values in our culture.

1. What foods can remind you of your happy memories? Describe the memories they recall.
My comfort food is Zongzi -- sticky rice dumplings.
Zongzi is mainly made of glutinous rice with various fillings, wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves and cooked for a few hours by steaming or boiling. I love the sweet flavor with red dates and red bean paste as fillings. Whenever I eat it, I unlock memories of a time when I was loved and looked after by my grandma, and this cheers me up.

Dear Jack,
I’m glad that you like Chinese food.
Chinese food is one of the most popular and healthy diets, but it can be high in oil and salt. What’s more, the portions of main dishes are often quite large. So remember not to order too many dishes when you are alone. Choose dishes with lots of vegetables and steamed rice and try to avoid dishes with fried meat. Order boiled, steamed or lightly fried dishes instead of fried ones like the crispy fried noodles. Ask the cook to use less oil when preparing dishes.
Wish you a good appetite.
Yours,
Li Hua
