Stir Fried Glass Noodles With Sambal And Tamarind Juice

Have you ever tried stir-fried glass noodles with sambal? If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat! This glass noodle stir fry is delicious and bursting with flavors!

It is prepared with a range of ingredients. The combination of vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates. The vegetable that I am using is French bean. Besides, the dish also contains potatoes, tempeh, tofu, and tofu sheet. While the shrimp provides a protein-packed base. Makes it rather full even though eaten without rice. It is truly as satisfying as a one pot meal.

The secret to bringing all these flavors together is the sambal which you may refer to Nasi Lemak Sambal about the ingredients of making it. It’s spicy, savory, slightly sweet, and just a little bit salty, with a rich umami flavor that’s hard to resist.

These glass noodles have a tangy taste from the tamarind sauce in addition to the umami and spice from the sambal. Although it can be slightly tart, the flavour of the tamarind is never overpowering. It makes your lips pucker a little bit, but it goes well with any spicy meal. You'll love these juice additions for sure.

The fresh flavor of just-squeezed lime juice or calamansi juice, a balance of crunchy and chewy, the pungency of the sambal flavor, and just enough heat to set your tongue tingling.

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate. So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity.
