Why Food Vacuum Packing
Vacuum packing food sucks all the oxygen out of the packaging prior to sealing. limiting the growth of aerobic bacteria or fungi, and preventing the evaporation of volatile components. Depending on the product, the shelf life of vacuum packaged products can easily exceed 6-times normal bagged or wrapped packages. Non-feed products can last indefinitely in the low oxygen environment . preserves product appearance because microorganisms, such as bacteria, grow at a much slower rate inside of a vacuum seal.

Food Vacuum Packing Application
It is commonly used to store foods extends the shelf life, such as cereals, nuts, cured meats, cheese, smoked fish, Meat, game, poultry, fish, dairy products,coffee, and potato chips (crisps).

Chicken feet are used in several regional Chinese cuisines; they can be served as a beer snack, cold dish, soup or main dish. They are interchangeably called feng zhao ( phoenix claws), ji zhao chicken claws), and ji jiao (chicken feet).also 'phoenix claws'

The huge demand in China, after China joined the WTO in 2001, China has approved the direct import of American chicken feet, and since then, China has been the major destination of chicken feet from around the globe.

In British ----exporter
chicken feet discarded by British factories could soon be winging their way to supermarket shelves in China. During trade talks in China the Environment Secretary, Owen Paterson, signalled his intention for British poultry producers to export chicken feet to the country, where they are a highly sought-after delicacy, served hot in soup or cold as a handy bar snack.

More than 850 million chickens are processed in British factories every year. Most of their 1.7 billion feet are rendered into pet food, along with other unwanted body parts such as heads, livers and gizzards. But now there are hopes that British intervention could lead to the poultry industry winning a coveted licence to trade with China, whose poultry consumers are less fussy than Europeans.

In America ----exporter
Chicken feet are a lowly thing. They scratch in the dust and shuffle over crowded cage floors. In the U.S. poultry market, feet usually end up being ground into parts for feed. But they are a delicacy in China, where consumers prefer the taste of meat on the bone. The natural scarcity of chicken feet (each animal, after all, has only two) means that a plateful of "phoenix talons," as they are called, imparts a measure of prestige on diners who order them.

Chicken feet have almost zero opportunity cost in the US but high opportunity cost in China. here was still the perfect win-win trade deal where both the US and China can benefit. as a product for which the U.S. holds the advantage over China's export machine.

This is because long noodles symbolize a long life in Chinese tradition. Noodles are commonly served at birthday celebrations and fresh noodles are regularly placed at gravesites.

Different types of noodles

There are three main families of Chinese noodles, based on the main ingredient: wheat flour, rice flour, or starch. cooking methods including boiling, steaming, pan-frying and deep-frying. The most common are wheat flour noodles, they originated in the north, where wheat is a staple crop.

Wheat Noodles
Noodles are differ depending on the region. The north, with its colder and drier climate, grew wheat as its main source of carbohydrates.

Chinese wheat noodles are available fresh, dried, or frozen, and they come in various sizes, some as thin as vermicelli, others as thick and wide as fettuccine.  Before using, the Chinese boil the noodles (about 3-4 minutes for fresh, 5-10 for dried) and then rinse them in cold water.

Buckwheat is a popular substitution for white flour, but semolina flour is not at all common . combines well with vegetables and flavorings, such as spinach, tomatoes, peppers, or tea, and those designer-flavors are finding their way into markets and trendy restaurants.

"hand-pulled" noodles is an art involving holding the stretched out paste in both hands and whirling it around several times. Then the paste is laid out on a board and folded and refolded repeatedly. Eventually the paste is transformed into long, thin, noodles. While in China it is still possible to watch vendors make hand-pulled noodles, today most noodles are made by machine.

Instant noodles have become a popular food in many parts of the world, undergoing changes in flavor to fit local tastes. Addition of fresh chopped produce or healthy lean meat/fish to the finished noodle soup is a good way to add nutrition as well as good taste.

Rice Noodles
