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...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
