Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying. So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...

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...
