In this Mandarin episode, I talk about the differences between a typical Chinese kitchen and a typical kitchen in the west. First, a Chinese kitchen is not usually equipped with a full-size oven and a dishwasher like we see in an American kitchen. Secondly, a Chinese kitchen is often separated from the rest of the house by design due to the cooking smoke, which is more of a source of indoor air pollution than western-style cooking.
