Pig's Trotters Soup With Soybean and Preserved Radish (菜脯黄豆猪手汤）

Do you like soup made from pig trotters? The most exquisite and visually stunning dish is pig trotters. Many Asian moms consume a lot of pig trotters after delivery , to speed up their body's recovery. Pig's trotters are actually a very healthy food for the body!

My late mother and mother-in-law always liked to add peanuts to this soup. The smoothness of the pig's trotters and the aroma of the peanuts combine to create a delightful combination. Additionally, peanuts might increase blood vitality and colour. The soup tastes amazing.

Pig's trotters are a popular food choice; however, they are high in fat and collagen. How can this issue be avoided during cooking? We need to blanch the pig's trotters to get rid of some of the fishy smell and the blood that is concealed in the bones . Don't overlook this step.

Other than blanching. I also add soybeans, pickled radish, and orange slices, which not only give an additional flavour to the soup but also help to get rid of the pig’s trotters smell. The rich aroma of the pig's trotters can be absorbed by soybeans. Soybeans are also incredibly tasty because they are cooked to a very soft and sticky consistency, they taste even better when bit into. Soybeans also have a significant impact on beauty.

Preserved radish and orange slices will give the soup a savory and sweet taste. Preserved radish is salty, please give it a taste before adding salt and sugar as you desire. Additionally, the orange slices give the soup its natural colour and tart sweet flavour.

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish. Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...
