What drives us to create a platform for sharing the rich and diverse world of Chinese cuisine?

ChineseRecipes.Online

In recent months, an intriguing cultural shift has unfolded across social media platforms. As global users dubbed "TikTok refugees" migrate to platforms like REDnote, many have begun documenting their culinary adventures in Chinese cooking. From college students attempting their first scrambled tomatoes with eggs to home chefs mastering the art of hand-pulled noodles, this wave of curiosity sparked an idea: What if we could create a global gateway to Chinese cuisine that's accessible to everyone?

The Spark: When Curiosity Meets Cultural Exchange

The surge of food-related searches on REDnote tells a compelling story:

  • 🥚 "Why does my steamed egg always look like the moon's surface?"
  • 🥟 "Can I use store-bought wrappers for dumplings and still call it homemade?"

These earnest questions revealed two truths:

  1. Global interest in Chinese cooking is at an all-time high
