Bacon and yam roll




It seems that some dishes finish fast more quickly than others. Yam wrapped with bacon, for instance. They are the first to be eaten when they are served on the dinner table. It truly is too good to resist.

If you love bacon, you will enjoy these yam and bacon rolls. There are quite a lot of Chinese dishes using yam as the main ingredients. This yam-flavored meat roll with Western elements still retains the Chinese style will going to make you eat more. I even serve this dish as one of my Chinese New Year dishes.

It is crucial to specify how to cook the ingredients when wrapping anything in bacon. When cooking a quick-cooking food, like asparagus or enoki mushroom, you want to be careful not to overcook the vegetable. It is likely that the bacon will not cook through as quickly as the food inside. Should I prepare the yam ahead of time for this recipe? Some people prefer to deep fry their yams, while others prefer to boil them in water to make them softer and easier to cook. No, I don't use these two approaches.  I roll up the yam with bacon and deep-fried it together.

Does the bacon need to dip in the egg before frying? Yes, in order to have a crispy texture with my bacon roll. I dip my bacon roll in the egg mixture and coated with corn starch well before frying. This process will help the flour stick on the bacon rolls, and the double coating keeps the bacon safe from the hot oil's direct heat while producing a layer of crispy batter.  


When frying the bacon yam roll, one step needs to be watched carefully. The bacon yam rolls must be fried twice. The secret to extremely crispy bacon yam roll is double frying. That evaporation process is helped by double frying. Additional water evaporates from the bacon by allowing them to cool and rest in between dipping them in the oil. The remaining water evaporates as you put it back in the second time, allowing the bacon roll to crisp and brown before they overcook.

My version of the bacon-wrapped yam is a huge hit with everybody!  I normally dip my bacon yam roll with my homemade sauce which tastes a little bit spicy, tangy, salty and a hint of sweetness.  What's not to enjoy? 

Trust me. This bacon yam roll will impress your family or your guests!

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala

Lazy dumplings for breakfast

  In our house, when the kids were little, this dumpling was the best breakfast option. Compared to traditional dumplings, this is considerably delicious, healthier, and easier. Having those lazy dumplings made and ready to re-steam for ten minutes as breakfast for kids or adults makes a big difference during the school weekday morning rush. My family will never tire of eating it every day. Family members will occasionally ask to have it made for lunch or perhaps dinner. The dumpling wrapper is the main ingredient in this delicious treat. I'm using store-bought dumpling wrappers since I want to make this dish as simple as possible. It was purchased from the market. It has a completely different filling than the pan-fried Japanese dumplings called gyoza. It has black fungus and scrambled eggs in it.   Egg gives a simple and nutritious breakfast choice. Black fungus has relatively high protein and fiber.   One thing good about this lazy dumpling is you don’t have to pleats along th

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
