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.

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...

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 ...
