The glutinous rice chicken (Lo Mai Gai) is soft and gingery, paired with savory chicken pieces, shiitake mushrooms, and Chinese sausages, making this dim sum a favorite of many people. It is not difficult to make glutinous rice chicken at home. As far as the chicken and mushrooms are marinated well and the steamed glutinous rice is mixed with the mixed sauce, it can make a delicious glutinous rice chicken in a dim sum restaurant. The steamed glutinous rice chicken can be frozen in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, take it out and steam  it until it softens, and you can enjoy the hot and fragrant glutinous rice chicken.  When talking about glutinous rice, I believe that many friends are having problems cooking glutinous rice,  such as too much water in the rice. Rice that has been overcooked or that is too sticky to eat has a harsh texture. To make glutinous rice chicken, getting the rice done is the most important key.   Let me share with you how to cook perfect glutin

Crispy cauliflower fritters are super addictive!! They are like a vegetarian version of chicken popcorn and taste great with my own made Bang Bang Sauce. These cauliflower fritters are so crispy and tasty that you will need to prepare a second batch. The batter can be made up in advance!  Since they are best consumed immediately after being fried, if you are unable to consume them all at once, fry only what you can and store the remaining batter in the refrigerator for future use. I make the batter with two types of flour: regular flour and rice flour or cornflour. I've discovered that although cornflour will provide a batter with a stronger crunch, rice flour will produce something that fries up light and crisp. Both are delicious.    Cauliflower fritters taste great with some sriracha, ketchup, or cheese sauce on the side. But I am serving it with my own homemade Bang Bang sauce. This sauce is good with seafood, but you can whip it up and use it on meat or veggies to add a sw

Let's make sweet glutinous rice balls this time after I previously shared salty glutinous rice balls which were focused on the soup base.   And the exterior and filling of these sweet glutinous rice balls are the main attractions. These glutinous rice balls are distinctive from others since they are made with flavorful sweet potatoes. The custard filling is wrapped in a glutinous rice ball, which is not only distinctive in form but also incredibly eye-catching. Glutinous rice balls are made of glutinous rice and have a high viscosity, which makes them difficult to digest for some people. This mochi tangyuan is using more sweet potatoes and less glutinous rice flour. This recipe is something like making mochi.   Making this mochi tangyuan with the kids is a delightful project since you may mould and fill the rice balls with your own paste. I combined mashed orange, purple, and yellow sweet potatoes with glutinous flour to make the rice ball. Different varieties of potatoes absor

Whenever I went to a wedding meal. The first "Hot and Cold" dish, particularly the scrambled eggs with shark fin and crab meats, is always devoured by the diners. It turns out that it goes by the extremely lovely name of osmanthus Wings ( 桂花翅 ). Due to the propaganda to protect sharks. The restaurant no longer serves this dish with shark fins. In Hong Kong, osmanthus fried wings with sweet-scented osmanthus are a unique meal. You can find interesting names for their items on the menu if you ever pay attention to it. when you order something only to discover that it is not what you ordered. This meal is comparable to another one called "ants on the tree,” ( 蚂蚁上树 ) which is stir-fried vermicelli with minced pork. Originally, Osmanthus fried wings are not using real shark fins, but imitation shark fins which are replaced by vegetarian fins are made of gelatin, or you may also substitute with vermicelli. The scrambled egg looks like osmanthus fragrans, so it is called os

Just like the Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, make dumplings, make glutinous rice balls, and have a big meal. It is implying reunion and happiness for the whole family. It's customary to have glutinous rice balls (Tangyuan 汤圆 ) on the winter solstice. Tangyuan is a must-have food for the winter solstice. It is a round dessert made of glutinous rice flour. There is a folk saying that “you will be one year older after eating glutinous rice balls”. Even restaurants also serve glutinous rice balls as a promotional menu on that day.   On the dining table, Cantonese treat sweet glutinous rice balls seem to dominate.   Both of my parents are Cantonese, yet my mother never makes sweet "tangyuan" on this day; instead, she always makes a pot of salty glutinous rice balls. The filling is not wrapped in glutinous rice balls, but glutinous rice is rolled into balls and bo

Everyone has their mother's "stir-fried food in a cube form" ( 麻辣菜脯炒粒粒 ), just the ingredients and seasonings may vary. This dish is about to take most of the ingredients left in the refrigerator to be cooked and placed on a plate. This is a quality of traditional mothers as well as a kind of longing for their flavour of them. They all have complementary aromas, so no one ingredient in this dish has the dominant flavour.
