Glutinous rice chicken (Lo Mai Gai)

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 ...

Crispy Fried Cauliflower with Bang Bang Sauce

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 vegg...

Osmanthus fried wings (桂花翅)

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...

Traditional curry puffs are made of dough and filled with potato chunks that have been cooked in a spicy, flavorful curry before being deep-fried. The original version requires making two different types of dough and a series of complicated techniques to wrap them. Potatoes and spices are typically used to make curry puff filling. These can also occasionally be made with minced meat. Curry puffs are a favourite among all people and are frequently used as a snack.

Braised Pork Ribs with Plum Sauce

I remember eating "sour plum Huamei braised pork ribs" once while out to dinner with friends. Many of us enjoy eating huamei, which is a snack made of dried salty plums. It is prepared by combining a few components and dehydrating plums. It is sweet and sour, and very appetizing. My favourite way to make lemonade or calamansi juice is to add two dried plums: it's a cool drink for a hot day. Have you ever attempted to prepare food using dried salty plums or "Huawei"? My pork ribs are braised with sour plum sauce in addition to the dehydrated plums. In comparison to sweet and sour pork ribs, it is also sweet and sour, but braised pork ribs with sour plum sauce and dehydrated plum have a distinctive aroma of green plums, so you won’t feel tired after eating too much. This dish's preparation is basic, and the ingredients are likewise straightforward. All that is necessary is to pick out common plums with the natural flavour, soak them in water, fry blanche...

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Crumb Cake Muffins

Muffins are a common breakfast food for my kids. For their breakfast, I, therefore, bake muffins once or twice every several weeks. My muffins, though, are an upgrade over the generally sweet ones found in the bakery. I don't usually bake a lot of it to freeze, although some people do. In contrast to cupcakes, muffins are simple to make and bake. I made muffins a day in advance; they often last for two to three days. During the morning rush on school weekdays, having those muffins prepared and ready to pop into the toaster oven two at a time for kids’ breakfast makes a significant difference.   My children love pumpkin cream cheese muffins. One of these won't be enough for them to consume. They are utterly addicted. They taste like a cross between pumpkin coffee cake and pumpkin cheesecake since they are moist and filled with cream cheese. Crunchy brown sugar cinnamon streusel topping is placed on top of them. It is hard to resist. Simple materials that you probably already h...
