Meal prep

Any recommendation of rednote content featuring Hunan daily life cuisine?

It occurred to me that I have so few places right now to find meal plans that appeal to my husband (who was born in China). I’m really looking for everyday eating instead of fancy banquet, restaurant effort food or street food.

I imagine homemade foods would include pork and vegetable soups, pickled vegetables, preserved meat, black beans, and hot peppers.

Chinese language or Changsha-hua is fine too. I can learn cooking vocabulary or ask my husband to explain terms I don’t know yet.

The thing is most Asian cuisine can be cooked pretty quickly and since there’s so much emphasis on fresh vegetables it’s better to make it fresh.

You can make soups/stews that will last a few days, maybe sauces will last a few days but overall I prefer fresh Asian food as opposed to meal prep.

Try to search "湖南菜做饭教程', just copy it and paste to search. If you just search topic like food or sth, you will only get too fancy food.

I believe you need app “下厨房”. Basically house wives in China would communicate their recipes exclusively in this app. And many Young Chinese learn cooking from that app I am not sure whether it has English version.

Making the Jump from TikTok to Rednote(Xiaohongshu)? Here’s What You Need to Know

So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!

The ban isn't really about privacy concerns

Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.

Y'all know why Trump suddenly became "pro-TikTok" right?

Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
