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-medicinal taste, so I recommended using fresh turmeric root rather than turmeric powder.

This dish has the added benefit of tasting even better the next day. For this soup, I'm using chicken wings. Cooking and preparation are quick. You can use whole chicken or boneless chicken breasts. You can also include fresh mushrooms in the soup

INGREDIENTS

12 pcs chicken wings (about 1.2kg)

3 tbsp fish sauce/soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

3 heads shallots, slightly cut into small cubes

10 cloves garlic, crushed

3 stalks of lemongrass, bottom part only

8 thin slices of galangal

10 kaffir lime leaves, roughly torn

4” turmeric root with skin on, slice on a sharp bias

5 fresh bird eyes chilies, crushed

3 tbsp tamarind juice

Salt to taste

Some fresh chopped cilantros for garnishing

METHODS

1. Marinate chicken wings in a mixture of sugar, and fish sauce or soy sauce, and for at least one hour.

2. In a large saucepan, place all the chicken wings. Add just enough water to cover the chicken by about an inch.

3. Add shallots, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and turmeric. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes on low heat with a lid loosely on (chicken wings are very fast to cook).

4. Add the tamarind juice and salt to taste once the chicken is tender. Add additional crushed chilies to the soup for spicy flavour.

5. Spoon the soup into a bowl, then garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions. Enjoy this dish with some steamed rice!

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

This delicious snack is referred to as Seremban Shao Bao( 芙蓉烧包 ) Seremban is a city about 45 – 60 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

We took a trip to Melaka. She made an intentionally stop at Seremban on our way back so I could try this well-known snack. It’s like a steamed bun or pao, it is pleated, but it's baked in an oven.
