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.

Welcome to this delectable vegan treat: incredibly crispy deep-fried mushrooms with soybean paste! These mushrooms are an absolute joy for all palates, with a crispy outside that gives way to delicate, somewhat chewy sweetness inside. I am going to share with you some tips to help you create an incredibly crispy, vegan- friendly outer layer that takes the mushrooms to a whole new level. Tips of making fried mushrooms 1.Avoid soaking or washing mushrooms I try to choose clean, fresh mushrooms so that cooking doesn't require soaking the mushroom or to avoid them absorbing water and becoming super moist.

Deep fried it to make the fried meat have a crispy exterior and tender interior.   And then tossed in a sweet and sour sauce with chunks of onions, assorted bell peppers and the most unique ingredient which is “PINEAPPLE”.

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso

You can stir-fry green beans by themselves, simmer them with meat, or blanch them and serve them cold. It tastes great either way you eat it. I'm going to show you how to stir-fry green beans with dried shrimp, preserved radish or chai poh, and the stems of mushrooms today. It's a tasty way to prepare green beans. It's a basic home-cooked approach that uses less salt and oil. It goes well with rice. It is simple for them to turn out overdone or underdone if you stir-fry them straight in the pan or wok. Blanching is a superior way to retain the crisp texture. If you blanch the beans until they are halfway cooked, they will cook more quickly when you stir-fry them afterwards. Additionally, it can impr
