Fresh shiitake mushrooms stuffed with fresh shrimp and pork are the ideal fusion of deliciousness and attractiveness.

This dish's ingredients are very straightforward. Mixture of pork, prawns, and stuffed into shiitake mushrooms. It can be said to be both wholesome and tasty. There is not greatest challenging technique in this recipe. It only requires a few minutes to steam it in a wok or pot.

Hand chops the prawns, combine with the minced pork and seasonings, fill the shitake mushrooms neatly, position them in a steamer, and steam them for 8 to 10 minutes on high heat. The water vapor circulates in the wok like magic, blending the flavours of the ingredients together, making it fresh and delicious and not greasy, simple, and delicious.

Place a whole piece of fresh prawn on top of the filling and steam everything together to make this simple dish appear even fancier and more appetizing for a party or gathering. Simply keep the prawn and filling together with a toothpick or bamboo skewer in case the prawns separate from the filling.

Then, pour over a thin sauce made from the steamed  broth, sprinkle some mashed salted egg, chopped green onions, and  drizzle a little red chili oil.  Wow…. what a delicious dish that looks fantastic.

The fresh shitake mushrooms' distinctive flavour is slightly masked by the delectable shrimp and juicy pork filling, and the shitake mushrooms themselves contain the mouthwatering broth that I can only describe in one word: FRESH!

I have concluded that this dish has straightforward ingredients, an easy technique, and is delicious right out of the pot.

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...

Sweet Potato Egg Tart

When come to egg tart, everyone might mention about the flaky pastry, filled with a smooth, lightly sweetened egg custard. What about giving it a twist for today? Instead of buttery flaky pastry, we switch to use sweet potatoes, raw oats and glutinous flour to make the tart base. This sweet potato egg tarts are high in fiber and delicious. And it requires no cooking skills. After baking, the oatmeal sweet potato crust is soft with naturally sweet and chewy, paired with smooth egg tart fillings. Oh my god! It smells so good. Every time it’s fresh out of the air fryer, the entire family gathers around, eager to grab a slice. The water content of the tart crust is very important. I am using orange sweet potatoes, which contain a lot of water after steaming. Perhaps yellow and purple sweet potatoes would be easier to shape. You can also use instant oats, which have good water absorption. For this recipe, I use cup cake liner as mold. I baked it with an air fryer to cut down on time...

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...
