  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...

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. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...

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....

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...

  Nasi lemak can be regarded as Malaysia’s ‘national treasure’ dish. Every morning, you can easily find Nasi Lemak in those Mamak stalls, Chinese coffee shops, on the roadside or even in a 5 Star hotel. You can eat it for Breakfast, Brunch, Dinner, Mid Meal or otherwise. Some are ready wrapped with banana leaves and grease proof paper. You can have a basic version, and you can have various condiments to go along with it.  This dish is normally added with a hot spicy sauce (sambal) and various garnishes, including fresh cucumber slices, small fried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts, and hard-boiled or fried eggs. And sometimes it also serves with sambal squid, curry chicken, beef rendang, fried fish, stir-fried vegetables. When talking about nasi lemak, that hot spicy sauce (sambal) is a must. It is the soul of Nasi Lemak. A plate of nasi lemak without sambal will not have the taste that nasi lemak should have. As well as the rice must taste with coconut flavor. Tha...

I am sure everyone eats lots of meals with plain white rice as a side. Or are you looking to make some variety, but keep the rice as a side dish? This turmeric rice and meat dish consists of fluffy rice layered over tender and succulent pieces of meat, accompanied with mesmerizing aromas of spices, herbs, and fried shallots.   This bone-in chicken thighs are coated in a mix of turmeric, garlic, ginger, and coriander roots, and nestled into a pan of rice. As it cooks, the spiced chicken fat seasons the rice, which turns especially crisp where it meets the edges and bottom of the pan while staying soft and chewy on top. Even though there are a lot of ingredients and processes involved, the outcome is worth the time if you divide the labour and marinate the chicken and/or fried the shallots the day before. You'll become an expert, and it won't feel like too much work after creating this a few times. One of the marinade ingredients is buttermilk. What happens when you marinat...

  I think many of us have a particular craving for fried chicken. If you have tasted this sticky honey fried chicken, all you want is one more mouthful, or two. Every single piece of crunchy sweet chicken was flavour with butter, honey, and garlic. Delicious!! The combination of honey and butter is magical and incredibly harmonious. I particularly enjoyed these sticky wings that I have it  from an open food market, and I decided to make them in my own kitchen. I began experimenting with it, testing with different types of flour for coating, adjusting the ratio of sugar to honey, and even experimented with using butter or cooking oil to make the sauce.   It took quite a few experiments until I was satisfied with the result. The crispy fried chicken on its own is already impressive, achieved from double frying. When it’s coated with a sticky glaze, these wings are on a whole other level. Here are a few tips that I swear by when it comes to making Fried Chicken Wings: ...

I cooked sea cucumber for the first time, and I really like it, especially the chewy texture. For all these years, I've never considered cooking it since I assumed it would be challenging to prepare at home. It's not too hard to cook this food; the tricky part is soaking the dried sea cucumber in preparation. My husband received a pack of eight sea cucumber slices from his uncle. This sea cucumber weighs about 300 grammes and is about 6 inches long. The fact that this sea cucumber has been cleaned and soaked is the greatest part. This meal is much simpler to prepare because the soaking sea cucumbers step is skipped. I browsed at a lot of recipes on YouTube and recipe books before deciding on a braised sea cucumber with chicken and fresh mushrooms. Came up with this simple, hassle-free way considering the little amount of time I had to cook. In addition to being a luxury cuisine, sea cucumbers have a great deal of medical value. The sea cucumber is slippery (almost gelatin...
