How would you do  with the leftover pork belly with preserved vegetables （梅菜扣肉） ? Have you ever tried rice noodles with braised pork with preserved veggies? Rice Noodles with braised pork preserved veggies  （扣肉米粉） is a mouth-watering home-cooked recipe. Every bite is an unforgettable enjoyment. The rice noodles completely absorb the essence of the sauce – is simply too fragrant and delicious. I add fresh vegetables like carrots, baby corn and bok choy in addition to the leftover preserved vegetables from the braised pork. Additionally, I add yuba or bean curd skin, which absorbs the excess oil from the braised pork and makes it less greasy while also sort of balancing the flavor of each bite. You don't need to add much seasoning because the leftover braised pork has enough flavor. Because rice noodles, bean curd skin, and fresh veggies were added. Seasoning  still need to be adjusted according to your preference. One thing about rice noodles is not soaking with ho...

I love prawns, whether they are grilled, deep-fried, or sauteed. One of my favorite ways of cooking prawns is sauteing them in a lemon, garlic and   butter sauce. This delicious dish can be made in 30 minutes. Shrimp is always a go-to for super-fast meals because they prep and cook so quickly. The sauce is also very easy and quick to make. The consistency should be runny, but thick enough to cling to the shrimp with a light coating. It's ready in 10 minutes with simple ingredients. You will wonder where this incredible sauce has been all your life. (I am kind of over exaggerating) What made the sauce so special is the addition of a splash of heavy cream and the lemon juice. Because lemon juice and cream were used, the sauce has a tart and creamy flavor. The creaminess in this sauce is just magic. And I always love cooking shrimp with Shaoxing wine. Along with other sauce ingredients, it is probably one of the most important cooking liquids for this dish. Most dishes will just ...

  How do you enjoy pork ribs? In Chinese cookery, sweet and sour is one of the most popular flavor combinations. And cooked pork ribs with soy sauce. Or black bean sauce with steamed pork ribs, and the list go on…. Have you ever tried braised pork ribs with cilantro roots OR stems and coriander seed? Cilantro's roots or stems, and coriander seeds are what make these ribs unique.   You only need a little bit of patience, but it will be well worth it. When you visit a supermarket, you will find two different types of ribs: back ribs and side ribs, often known as spareribs. Back ribs cost more, but they are also tastier and have a greater flavour. They will be more uniform in size if you cut them into separate, individual pieces. Even while spareribs are less expensive, they are also more erratic, thus cutting them into individual ribs won't produce the same attractive results. My back ribs will be sliced into individual pieces. You can just grab a piece with your hands and c...

  Rice cakes or Nian Gao are a symbol of "prosperity", so during the Lunar New Year. Every household will buy or make rice cakes during the Lunar New Year in the hopes of a "higher year," which represents greater success and fortune in the upcoming year. Instead of frying the Nian Gao” with batter, I wrap it with a piece of puff pastry and bake in the oven, in this way, I can taste a gluey Nian Gao with crispy pastry. I made this last year, and my kids requested to make this again for this year. It is not a recipe, it is merely a method of serving Nian Gao, or Chinese rice cake. Everyone will be thrilled by this fantastic twist and surprise to a classic. In I'm using store bought puff pastries.   Some come in 8" or 4" square sizes, while others come in a rolled-up sheet. If you're using the rolled-up sheet, as I did, you'll need to roll them out and cut them to the appropriate size. Simply place the Nian Gao onto a piece of puff pastry a...
