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!

Easy Apple Tart With Almond Cream

This apple tarts made with frangipane or almond cream, and apples. It’s delicate, beautiful, and most importantly, delicious. The combination of apples, almonds, and cinnamon creates a warm and delightful dessert. Excellent while still warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even cold. The tart itself is buttery and crunchy. It is simple to make, and you don’t need a food processor or hand mixer. The key is that the butter is COLD. I cut it into small cubes and keep it in a freezer for 10 minutes which is much simpler to incorporate into the flour mixture. The almond cream or Frangipane is simple to prepare, and you can make it a day ahead with only a few ingredients. Spread the almond cream over the prebaked pie crust which adds a wonderful flavor, but it also acts as a shield to prevent the apple juices from penetrating into the crust. I am using a 24cm round and removable pie try or tart pan for making this apple tart. It is one of the staple pieces of equipment in my kitc...

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...
