Chinese Soul food? The secret of the chinaman?!


Question:

Chinese Soul food? The secret of the chinaman?

Hi, I am an australian, who loves to cook. I have tried for some years to get these two recipes right - but havent. Does anyone have the recipes for:

*Southern Style Fried Chicken - Authentic
*Chinese Fried Rice - Authentic
*Corn Bread *what is it? it sounds yummy*

by writing authentic, i mean i have searched for recipes in books, and on the net, but havent been happy with them. they always seem "white"??No racism intended - im irish - but alot of them seem unauthentic - is all

ALSO....why are chinese people so secretive about their cooking? i was watching my favourite chinese take-out man cook my dinner, i was trying to see what he was using, but it[ingredients]was all in like plastic containers and metal bowls - didnt really reveal much - so ive come to the conclusion chinese people/chefs arent sharing....!!

Any help would be appreciated!
