How do raw tomato wedges make a Chinese beef dish Hawaiian... and how
does the addition of tomato make any dish Hawaiian?
Actually raw tomato wedges on a hot beef dish doesn't look at all
appetizing. In fact without the tomatoes that's not a Chinese dish...
pepper steak per se is not Chinese, pepper steak can be of any
ethnicity.... just because pepper steak is served over a bed of white
rice that doesn't make it Chinese, most of the planet's people eat
rice every day. A Chinese restaurant would serve Hot & Sour Beef..
very different from your dish and would be more Hawaiian as it would
contain pineapple, not that there's anything Hawaiian about pineapple
either... Pineapple is Central Amercan. You used a flavorless
cardboard stupidmarket tomato.
