Hakka Braised Pork Belly with Black Fungus

There was once I went to a bookstore and found this "The Hakka Cookbook" by accident. This book's subtitle is "Chinese Soul Food Around the World".   According to the text, Hakka food exhibits the Hakka people's economical, not luxurious, and generous hospitality.   Hakka cuisine has many health benefits because the Hakka people are dedicated to their pursuit of methods of preserving health and are skilled in utilizing the scientific principles concealed in nature.   Hakka food has currently established itself as a representation of Cantonese cuisine. The two primary specialties are Hakka-stuffed tofu and salt-baked chicken. This meal is available at restaurants and is highly well-liked.   Braised Pork Belly with Black Fungus is one of the dishes from this book that I have come across. Although the black fungus does not have a pleasing appearance, it is incredibly nutrient-rich. A daily intake of 5 to 10 grams of black fungus can support car

Mini Nuts tart

This delectable tiny caramel nut tart with a flaky pastry crust and it is packed with crunchy whole almonds, almond strips, sunflower, pumpkin, white melon, and black sesame seeds. Just think about how amazing and delicious the caramel sauce keeps these nut tarts together. It's easy to make but tastes far better than it looks. What a fantastic way to enjoy nuts! Additionally, giving it as a present is considerate. The technique is easy and basic. The nuts taste amazing! Think about an appetizer where the crunchy mixed nuts and creamy homemade caramel are combined, and the pastry crust's crispness melts into your mouth. When making this little nut tart, the crusts are crucial. Sure, store-bought crusts are available, but believe me when I say that, even though we usually just think of them as a shell for a filling, we also need to think about how the filling will taste and feel in them. I've been using a 9-inch tart pan for years to make shortbread crust for key lime p

Honey soy glaze ribs

If you frequently prepare braised pork ribs using herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and olive oil, consider substituting cilantro roots OR stems and coriander seeds. Because of how easy it is to prepare and the fact that you don't even need an oven, this honey soy glazed rib is one of my favourite recipes. You only need a little bit of patience, but it will be well worth it. Honey's sweetness, the flavour of cilantro's roots or stems, and coriander seeds are what make these ribs unique. The seductive flavour of this culinary wonder will reward you. When you visit a supermarket, you will find two different types of ribs: back ribs and side ribs, often known as spareribs. Back ribs cost more, but they are also tastier and have a greater flavour. They will be more uniform in size if you cut them into separate, individual pieces. Even while spareribs are less expensive, they are also more erratic, thus cutting them into individual ribs won't produce

Steamed Cassava Cake in a Bundt Pan

In Southeast Asia, cassava or tapioca is a widely used ingredient. It can also be sliced, fried, and turned into cassava chips, which make a delightful snack when combined with a particular chilli sauce. It can also be converted into cakes, meals, and basic foods. This cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming, wrapping in banana leaves, and baking or steaming. There are numerous recipes for this pastry that can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Some individuals prefer waxy ones, others prefer hard ones, some prefer sweet ones, some prefer milky flavours, and still, others prefer coconut flavors—some are even dusted with finely chopped coconut. I have experimented with various methods. The recipe I'm sharing today was modified to have the texture and flavour I prefer. I've done it multiple times with wonderful results. The taste of this steamed cassava cake is perfect, and the preparation is incredibly st

Turmeric Chicken Soup

Ginger is a common vegetable. In the kitchen, it is customary. TURMERIC, however, is a member of the ginger family. You might not have realized it. Chinese traditional medicine and seasoning both use turmeric. Even the curry paste used for curry chicken contains turmeric powder. Other common turmeric meals include turmeric congee, turmeric fried rice, and turmeric pork ribs. The most traditional dish is chicken soup with turmeric. It is a recipe for turmeric chicken soup that boosts immunity and keeps your body feeling energized. Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant spice that gives this soup its beautiful yellow colour. I'm going to share a chicken soup with turmeric in it. This chicken soup is quite simple to make and fills the house with the delightful fragrances of traditional Thai herbs. This soup is one of my favourite's because you can just dump everything into a pot and let it cook. It can be quite easy to overkill the turmeric, giving the soup a too-m

Oatmeal flax chocolate chip cookies

Oatmeal cookies have entered the market for sociable snacks because of people's steadily growing desire for a healthy diet. The public enjoys oatmeal cookies because of their nutritious and scrumptious features. Oats are generally known for being a nutritious breakfast option, but they can also be a tasty treat. You may make oatmeal cookies in a variety of ways by adding whatever you desire, such as fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips. They go well with snacks, coffee, tea, and breakfast. I typically prepare this oat cookies as a quick snack at home. The flaxseed and triple chocolate oatmeal cookies I'm going to share with you today are better than regular oatmeal cookies. Because of the addition of chocolate chip, the taste will have some advantages and taste will be better. It is always the favorite for kids and adults. Along with three different kinds of chocolate chips, these oatmeal cookies also include the right quantity of flaxseeds. Even though I adore cookies, it'

Shaoxing Drunken Chicken

  Life can be a little chaotic at times. Everyone experiences it, and when it does, simple, already prepared meals are helpful. Having some pre-made meals is a lifesaver. Shaoxing Drunken Chicken is a chilly dish that I used to make for the Chinese New Year and would want to share it with you today. With this cold meal, your schedule won't be too hectic. Of course, eating this dish is not limited to festivals. It might be prepared in advance, making your nights easier. The traditional method calls for using a whole chicken, cooking it until the meat is separated from the bone, chopping it up into bite-sized pieces, and then marinating it in Shaoxing wine for two days so that the wine is fragrant and the chicken tastes fresh and energizing. The current method is slightly different from the original. Instead of using a full chicken, I'm using boneless chicken thighs. The drunken chicken would taste spicy and choking if it is marinated in rice wine or sorghum wine, making it
