Refreshing Glass Noodles With Calamansi Juice

  Who else loves glass noodles? This refreshing glass noodle with prawns, ground meat and fresh herbs, all mixed together with a zesty dressing. These flavorful glass noodles are quick to prepare, simple to prepare, and full of texture and taste. It combines neutral-tasting fresh coriander leaves with a spicy, acidic, and sweet sauce that soaks into everything to give everything a flavour punch. Prawns and ground pork are blended with my noodles. My ground pork has more fat than regular ground pork, you can choose the lean meat. You may use squid, muscle, and scallops. You can adapt anyway you like with your favorite protein. Just leave the meat out of the recipe if you prefer to follow a vegan diet. It still has the same rich, wonderful, and fresh flavour. Some of the people confuse the glass noodles with rice vermicelli because they look similar in the package. Rice vermicelli is made from rice flour while glass noodles are made of mung bean starch. In other words, they are fat-f...

Mango shredded chicken (芒果手撕鸡)

This shredded chicken with mango is delicious to a whole new level. Packed full of proper Chinese flavors, super juicy with the added bonus of mango. It is deeply loved by my family. It’s delicious and refreshing, making it a delicacy on the table. I'm using chicken thighs because they're soft and have a delicate flavor.   You can also use chicken breast.   Vitamin C is abundant in mangoes, which also add sweetness to food to improve its flavor.   In addition, I'm adding calamansi and lemon juice to the dressing sauce to balance the mango's sweetness by giving a citrussy taste. This recipe for mango shredded chicken is flexible.   It can be changed in a few ways.   To add some crunchy bite, you can finely julienne cucumber or carrots.   To give it a contrasting heat, I'm adding bird eye chilies, which I think make the dish even better.   You may replace it with chili flakes or powder.    If you dislike spicy cuisine, you can leave it out....

Baked Cassava or Tapioca Cake (烤木薯糕)

Cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming and wrapping in banana leaves. It can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Today, I am going to share how to bake cassava or tapioca cake. Tapioca cake is very easy to make, whether to steam or to bake. The only tedious part is grating. I used to grate them into fine silk manually. But now I blend them with Thermomix to paste form. If you are using a regular blender, add a little water to the blender to blend it together. This cassava cake has a beautiful burnt skin on top and dense golden color inside. My daughter thought it was burnt cheesecake. The texture is soft but firm and not too sticky compared to the steam type. Every bite taste of cassava, coconut milk and the burnt aroma. Not overly sweet and greasy. If using a blender, cut the tapioca into smaller chunks, then carefully cut out the tough, fibrous core from the middle of each piece using a knife.   Once the t...

Easy Chinese Lemon Chicken

My sticky lemon chicken is so simple to make that you'll be surprised. This is my ultimate Chinese lemon chicken. It’s fresher, it’s lighter. With this recipe, you are going to serve it on your dinner table without that stodgy Chinese takeout. The lemon chicken is crispy yet juicy which is marinated in soy sauce, egg white, and Shaoxing wine. The chicken pieces are coated in a glossy sauce that is tangy from the lemon zest and juice. Perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. When it comes to lemon chicken at Chinese restaurants, some make a light batter, while others use a crispier dry coating. My personal preference is dry coating. For the lemon juice, I suggest using fresh lemon, it will give a maximum lemon flavour. Double fly the chicken will help in producing an extremely crispy golden outside. Make sure you wait at least 5 minutes after the first fry, wait until the oil reaches the right temperature once more before placing the fried pork back in for...
