Stir Fried Green Beans with Preserved Radish

Many people love to eat green beans, making them taste good is still somewhat challenging. Too lengthy frying is a common mistake. Consequently, when the green beans are eaten, they are easily browned rather than crunchy. They are not quite as good as those in restaurants.

You can stir-fry green beans by themselves, simmer them with meat, or blanch them and serve them cold. It tastes great either way you eat it. I'm going to show you how to stir-fry green beans with dried shrimp, preserved radish or chai poh, and the stems of mushrooms today. It's a tasty way to prepare green beans. It's a basic home-cooked approach that uses less salt and oil. It goes well with rice.

It is simple for them to turn out overdone or underdone if you stir-fry them straight in the pan or wok. Blanching is a superior way to retain the crisp texture. If you blanch the beans until they are halfway cooked, they will cook more quickly when you stir-fry them afterwards. Additionally, it can improve flavour absorption, reduce stir-frying time, and keep the beans from turning brown, improving the appearance of the colour.

This home-cooked green beans with dried shrimps, preserved radish, and mushrooms stems is easy to prepare but delicious. For vegetarians, you may leave out the dried shrimps. Preserved vegetables are the 'magic' ingredient in home-style Chinese cooking. Preserved radish is also known as chai poh. It comes in two types, a salty variant, and a sweet version. I have just used the salty version for cooking so far. I realized that preserved radish can be prepared cooked and eaten in numerous ways, and this is one of them.

200g green beans

2 tbsp dried shrimps

2 tbsp preserved radish or chai poh

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavor of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial. You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness. Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried. For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can wash, cut...

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...

Pumpkin Sago Dessert（南瓜西米露）

Pumpkin is a very good food material, suitable for men, women and children. Although it tastes very sweet, it does not contain high sugar content. It can even be eaten by diabetics. Pumpkin sago is a dessert that many people like because it does not harm the body. So, how to make pumpkin sago? This creamy, smooth pumpkin sweet soup is one of my favorites. So aromatic with coconut milk. Since the soup tends to thicken, I prefer it to serve hot rather than cold. I prefer to cook coconut milk in the soup with a little salt. Coconut milk is naturally sweet and rich. Salt helps to balance these flavors, making the soup more palatable and enjoyable. Others may prefer to drizzle some coconut milk on top before serving. The main ingredients of pumpkin and sago are pumpkin and sago. The general method of cooking sago is to boil water in a pot, pour in sago and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat when only a little white spot is left in the middle of the ...
