  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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

Braised pork trotter is a very rich, savory dish which requires hours of cooking for the meat to become soft, tender, and glossy. We refer to these braised pork trotters as Yuan's trotters （元蹄） , which stand for harmony and family reunion. This dish is especially suitable for serving during Chinese New Year and festivals. Pork trotters can be prepared in a variety of ways, such as marinating them in Huadiao wine, ginger, and rock sugar, then deep-frying them until they are crispy. There are also baked herbal trotters. Braised pork trotter is Shanghai cuisine, but I haven't tried it, so I'm not quite sure how it tastes. But I am willing to share my version of braised pork trotters to impress your family and friends. It is very straight forward recipe. To me braised pork trotter is just something like usual braised pork, just that you going to cook the trotters in a big piece. Some might say that this dish is too greasy, every bite of fatty pork is too greasy. But facin...
