Well, considering I'm in a modern city of 10 million people right in between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, you would think that I could find some here.# I can't explain to my girlfriend# well enough what it is I'm looking for because I don't know how they make some of the stuff in Canada.# Oh well, she's getting good at cooking western dishes now.
The usual answer is corn starch, oil, and MSG
I would say that in Shenzhen you would find similar dishes but nothing like what you have in Canada. Chow mein should be easy enough to make though. For spring rolls, I would go try dim sum. You'll probably find them there.
