  Everyone is familiar with steamed egg.   This is a kind of delicacy that looks simple if you master the technique. Have you ever made egg bean curd or egg tofu with soybean milk. How different of this egg tofu with soybean milk compared with classic steamed egg? There are two differences for both recipes. Firstly, steamed egg using water; egg tofu is using soy milk. Secondly, steamed egg steamed for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, let it sit in the steamer for 15 minutes; egg tofu steamed for 12 minutes. Of course, the two recipes are eaten differently. Chinese steamed eggs don’t need sophisticated seasoning to impress your palate. Simply add a little light soy sauce and sesame oil. Simply delicious! For the egg tofu, I am going to braise mushrooms and shrimps, serving on the top of the egg tofu.   The egg tofu smothered in a luscious soy oyster sauce with shrimps and mushrooms, had smooth thick sauce.   Ensuring that each bite is delicious and satisfying. In fact, homemade is

Do you know about, or have you ever tried "Guo Bao Rou"( 锅包肉 )? It is originated in Harbin, China.   The primary ingredient is pork, but halal restaurants substitute beef for pork. The cooking method of "Guo Ba Rou" is extremely like Cantonese cuisine, sweet and sour pork. Both are sweet and sour delicacies. These two dishes nevertheless differ from one another in some way.    What makes the approach different? Both recipes use pork tenderloin. Sweet and sour pork is made by cutting the pork into strips and coating it with flour or starch, deep fried till golden.   Guo Bao Rou is made by cutting the pork tenderloin into thin slices, coated with batter and frying it until it is golden in colour. The sweet and sour pork is coated with thick sauce which is made with white vinegar, sugar, and tangy tomato ketchup, garnished with pineapple and bell peppers. Guo Bao Rou does not have any extra sauce, but before adding the white vinegar and sugar-based sauce, shredde

Many people have an indescribable liking for potatoes and chicken as a meal. When I have nothing to do, I will think about how to cook potatoes and chicken to turn out another delicious dish. Potatoes and chicken are always a perfect match, but I am getting tired of cooking braised chicken potatoes or curry potatoes chicken.  I am trying a twice cooked method for this time, and it is a super easy dish. I am using chicken wings for this dish. I’m using the middle part of the wings, also known as flats or wingette, and save the drumettes for another dish. Cumin powder serves as an essential ingredient for this dish.  The primary ingredients in cumin powder include cumin, star anise, cinnamon, and other spices. Cumin powder has a distinct flavour and an intense aroma. It is mainly used as seasoning. Whether it is used to season chicken or ribs, cumin powder has a pleasant flavour. This cumin chicken wings potatoes bite dish is quite straightforward, and both the presentation and flavour

You probably have seen quite a few of my recipes which were made with salted egg yolk sauce. Among those recipes, other than fresh salted egg yolk crumbs, I always added 1 or 2 tablespoons of homemade salted egg yolk sauce to make the dish looks even more creamy. Before that, I never known that salted egg yolk sauce in a jar was being sold in the market.   What I found on the supermarket shelf was salted egg yolk powder, which today’s restaurant chefs are latching onto people’s love for them. I bought the powder form, believe me or not, I throw it after being used for not even more than ten times. It is packed in a huge package of 800 grams, hard to finish the whole pack, end up it was expired. The other reason was there was many “side ingredients” for the powder other than just “salted” eggs.   Until one day I bought it from the local bakery that I used to. In fact, this salted egg yolks sauce was not for sell, it was for their own usage. After a small chat with the chef, he sold

  Have you ever heard or ate fried shrimp in typhoon shelter? Typhoon shelters are designated areas in Hong Kong where small to medium-sized fishing boats can take refuge from typhoons. These areas are typically found in bays or harbours. Fishermen anchored their boats at typhoon shelters during the typhoon attack to avoid the storm and were unable to go fishing for a few days. And the fishermen simply used what they had on board and, using a unique cooking technique, produced an unexpectedly excellent dish that later became quite famous among both fishermen and tourists. I would say that the seafood from typhoon shelters is now a dish that is recognized worldwide and is offered in many Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. There are numerous variations of typhoon shelter shrimps, as you can find when you search for the recipe online. Some advice, fry it with douchi (fermented salty black soybeans) to add flavour to the dish. Some without the douche.   The first time I made this meal

  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-fre

  It’s salted egg yolks dish again! I am making fried mud crabs in salted egg yolk sauce for this time. I hope everyone do not get tired of seeing something "salted egg yolks" all the time.   I am really a hardcore salted egg fan. Salted eggs are extremely inexpensive, going for 4 for RM5. However, dishes ordered outside that cooked with salted egg yolks are frequently very costly, particularly seafood. So I might as well cook my own salted egg yolk dishes at home and even with seafood. Additionally, while it's rare to find restaurants that use generous amounts of salted egg yolk sauce to the dish, I can use it freely at home. The process is usually the same as for other dishes using salted egg yolks. Another reason I adore salted egg yolks is that they cook up with a beautiful, bright golden hue, making them very photogenic foods to begin with. The dish still appears delicious and alluring even without any garnishing. When you look up the recipe online, you will se

  Fresh shiitake mushrooms stuffed with fresh shrimp and pork are the ideal fusion of deliciousness and attractiveness. This dish's ingredients are very straightforward. Mixture of pork, prawns, and stuffed into shiitake mushrooms. It can be said to be both wholesome and tasty. There is not greatest challenging technique in this recipe. It only requires a few minutes to steam it in a wok or pot. Hand chops the prawns, combine with the minced pork and seasonings, fill the shitake mushrooms neatly, position them in a steamer, and steam them for 8 to 10 minutes on high heat. The water vapor circulates in the wok like magic, blending the flavours of the ingredients together, making it fresh and delicious and not greasy, simple, and delicious. Place a whole piece of fresh prawn on top of the filling and steam everything together to make this simple dish appear even fancier and more appetizing for a party or gathering. Simply keep the prawn and filling together with a toothpick or

Fish is a healthy meal. There are numerous methods to prepare fish. Stir-frying, steaming, deep-frying, or even air-frying fish are the most popular seafood preparation techniques. How are you preparing your fish? Let me show you a brand-new method to prepare fish in a hot pot with vegetables. It is something like Poon Choy because of the veggies that are placed beneath the fish before it is laid in. The fact that the pot is adding broth and a heat source has been set up on the dinner table to maintain a simmering pot soup stock makes it like a hot pot. Imagine having this fish in a large hot pot with all the ingredients on top of one another, everyone gathered, and chopsticks staggered. The atmosphere is especially lively, the food is great, and everyone is enjoying themselves at the table. Because the fish was on top, we began with that and moved on to the delicious vegetables. I am using homemade chicken broth as the pot soup. The fish was lying on a bed of glass noodles, slic
