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!

Steamed Ma Lai Gou （马来糕）

  Today I will share with you how to make Malay kuih also known as “Ma Lai Gao”.   A steamed sponge cake from Malaysia, drew inspiration from British cakes. Later, Cantonese chefs modified it to become what we now know as dim sum. Traditionally, Ma Lai Gao's starter dough takes 24 hours to prepare. I'll show you how to make Ma Lai Gao quickly and easily today without losing out on texture or flavour. In fact, the appearance of “Ma Lai Kou” is very ordinary, not much different from ordinary cakes on the market, but its preparation method and texture are worth learning from. Because it is a fermented flour product, it has a soft and smooth texture. This recipe doesn't require baking, and the preparation of “Ma Lai Gao” is very simple, and the ingredients are divided into dry and wet. The wet ones are milk and eggs, while the dry ones are powdered ingredients. To put it simply, stir the wet ingredients evenly first, then slowly add the dry ingredients, ferment and then s...

Baked Cassava or Tapioca Cake （烤木薯糕）

Cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming and wrapping in banana leaves. It can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Today, I am going to share how to bake cassava or tapioca cake. Tapioca cake is very easy to make, whether to steam or to bake. The only tedious part is grating. I used to grate them into fine silk manually. But now I blend them with Thermomix to paste form. If you are using a regular blender, add a little water to the blender to blend it together. This cassava cake has a beautiful burnt skin on top and dense golden color inside. My daughter thought it was burnt cheesecake. The texture is soft but firm and not too sticky compared to the steam type. Every bite taste of cassava, coconut milk and the burnt aroma. Not overly sweet and greasy. If using a blender, cut the tapioca into smaller chunks, then carefully cut out the tough, fibrous core from the middle of each piece using a knife.   Once the t...

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...
