Yam Bean Curd Rolls （芋头腐皮卷）


Do you enjoy eating bean curd rolls? A delicious dim sum dish was served at the restaurant. A mixture of ground pork and other ingredients are filled into the sweet, soft bean curd skin, which is then covered in a creamy, mild sauce.


This is a dish that my mother-in-law likes to make for Chinese New Year. Her recipe is different from the dim sum restaurant which is not coated with any thick sauce. Typically, a mixture of ground pork, shrimp, and other ingredients makes up the filling. Usually, she would shape the bean curd rolls, steam them, and store them in the freezer. Place it in the fridge the night before New Year's Eve and allow it to defrost. After that, remove it from the refrigerator and leave it for around half an hour at room temperature. The customary way is to deep fry them and serve them with a dip of chilli sauce.

Sometimes I make it as a vegetarian bean curd roll for my brother. I'm using yam instead of pork filling. But today, I want to combine some of the ingredients from these two different recipes to take this recipe a step further. So that I can both enjoy the flavour of the meat and the aroma of the yam in one bite.

Bean curd sheets are made from soybeans. Some are salty. Some is 0 mg of sodium. If yours is as salty as mine was, use a clean cloth to remove any extra salt. I cut the bean curd sheet into the size of 10” x 12”, rolled it up and cut it into half to fit into my baking tray. The bean curd sheet can be sliced to the size that suits you best.

 

INGREDIENTS

4 pcs bean curd sheets (10” x 12”)

450g ground pork

250g shrimps, clean and devein

150g shredded yam

5 red shallots, minced

1 whole head garlic, minced

1 egg

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tsp salt

1 ½ tsp sugar

2 tbsp corn starch

 



METHODS

1. Coarsely chopped the shrimps. Combine the ground pork and shrimp into a mixing bowl together with shredded yam, shallots, garlic, egg, and the seasoning. Stir well.

2. Cut the bean curd sheet into the size of 10” x 12”, use a clean cloth to wipe off excess salt.

3. Place the filling at the lower bottom. Roll from the bottom with the help of Sushi bamboo sheet to maintain the shape, roll it up. Brush some water at the top edge to seal the roll. Repeat with the rest of the filling and bean curd sheets.

4. Brush some oil on a tray and place the bean curd roll into the tray.

5. Fill some water in the wok and bring it to a boil. Place the tray of bean curd rolls on a steamer rack. Steam for 15 minutes at high heat.

5. Cut the bean curd rolls diagonally about 1 ½ inches width.

6. Heat some cooking oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the cut bean curd rolls in a single layer and pan fry it for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Served immediately with my favourite Chili oil sauce or any spicy sauce of your choice.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour （椰丝球）

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Half a year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. It is fall in October this year. I've tried quite a few of jelly mooncakes last year. So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it. I got the inspiration from an Indonesian dessert “lumut” pudding. Puding Lumut or “moss pudding is a type of jelly or jelly pudding originating from Indonesia, make with a mixture of agar-agar powder, eggs, coconut milk and sugar which is cooked until it forms a moss like mass. Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
