Stir-fried pickled radish with mushrooms in Sichuan spicy sauce (麻辣菜脯炒粒粒)

Everyone has their mother's "stir-fried food in a cube form" (麻辣菜脯炒粒粒), just the ingredients and seasonings may vary. This dish is about to take most of the ingredients left in the refrigerator to be cooked and placed on a plate. This is a quality of traditional mothers as well as a kind of longing for their flavour of them.

They all have complementary aromas, so no one ingredient in this dish has the dominant flavour.

This recipe for pickled radish cuisine is always delicious and capable of increasing your hunger. Today, I'm going to share a delicious recipe for pickled radish with mushrooms in a spicy Sichuan sauce. The most time-consuming step in making this dish is chopping all the ingredients into uniform-sized cubes because it involves a variety of mixed vegetables.

This dish is very flexible. If you don't like Chinese sausage, you may replace it with BBQ pork belly (char siu), use long beans in place of French beans, or add sweet corn kernels. You can cook food any way you like because to me it is entirely up to you and how you like it.

INGREDIENTS

1 pair of Chinese sausages

3 pcs dried shitake mushrooms

30g preserved radish

2 pcs dried chillies, add more to your preference

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp Shaoxing wine

1/8 tsp Sichuan peppercorn

1 tsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp sesame oil

METHODS

1. Soak mushrooms in water until soft and cut mushrooms into small pieces.

2. Diced sausage, French beans, and preserved radish.

3. Heat up a pan/ wok, pour a little oil, and sauté garlic, dried chili, and peppercorns until fragrant.

4. Add Chinese sausage and mushrooms. Give it a quick stir.

5. Add Shaoxing wine and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the diced frenched beans and the preserved radish and stir well. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of mushroom water to enhance the flavour of the dish or to prevent them from drying out. It is a great substitute for chicken stock in the recipes.

6. Finally, season with oyster sauce, sugar, and sesame. ENJOY!!

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate. So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms （虫草花香菇蒸鸡）

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
