What Does Chinese Food and Pizza Have in Common?

Wierd question, it totally surprises me but I have found that studying chinese cuisine is teaching me how to be a better western cuisine cook. Just like the title of this blog post implies, pizza is one of those foods that I have learned to make better. I have learn alot especially when studying muslim chinese cuisine because it have alot of influence from Persia area. Persia is where a ton of western food originated believe it or not. I guess most of the worlds food originated in Persia and China. Examples are: bread in Persia and Noodles in China. It is like going back to the roots of things we have forgotten and learning from the ground up. I am a food enthusist, you all probably knew that already...so nothing excites me like a personal culinary arts break through moment. I am not going to go into too much detail but if you are interested I explain how you can use chinese cooking principles in western food on my Chinese food blog.
