Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork "Guo Bao Rou"(锅包肉)

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.

Cumin Chicken Wings and Potatoes Bite

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

Mushroom Chicken Chop with Coconut Cream

  Whenever I selected western meals from a restaurant's menu. My go-to choice is always chicken chop. I don't eat beef, pork chops are too dry to eat, and lamb chops turned up rough and chewy simply because they were overcooked. One of the reasons I love Chicken Chop is because the meat is always so tender and flavorful. There was an interesting question that popped out from a 10-year-old kid. Does chicken chop a western dish? It may come as surprise to some, chicken chop originally comes from Malaysia. In the early days, Hainanese immigrants in Malaya invented the chicken chop in support of the British colonial taste, so Malaysian refer chicken chop as a western meal. Although I like to eat chicken chops, there are only two flavors when I eat out every time, which are black pepper sauce or mushrooms sauce. Extremely worn out with the sauce. Today, I am going to cook this chicken chop with a different sauce – mushroom chicken chop with coconut milk. Western food will alwa

Peanut Salad Dressing

This salad dressing is perfect for peanut lovers! This vegan, simple peanut dressing is not overly spicy. Similar to satay sauce, which is made from raw, ground, roasted peanuts, but much easier to make. One of my favourite ways to eat vegetables is with this peanut dressing. We frequently think of the Indonesian dish Gado Gado when we discuss vegetable salad with peanut sauce. Sort of like mixing any kind of vegetable with peanut sauce. In other words, the peanut dressing serves as the true core of this salad. By drizzling on a sweet, savoury peanut sauce with a hint of sour flavour from tamarind paste, this peanut dressing will make the basic veggies utterly delicious to everyone.   I tried this recipe with water spinach (kangkong), shredded carrots, tomatoes, boiled egg, fried tofu, and cucumber. I even mix the sauce with rice vermicelli. Taste amazing. You may try it with cabbage, beansprouts, cauliflower, breed beans and chayote. As far as you get the sauce right, the rest is up

Refreshing lemongrass chicken feet

Every part of the chicken makes a delicious dish. Do you agree? Chicken feet, wings, and necks are also quite popular in addition to chicken. Such treats can be found at numerous food stalls. Even though the meat on chicken feet is not particularly flavorful, I find that the more I eat, the more I want to lick my fingers at the end.  Chicken feet can be eaten in a variety of ways. Chicken feet broth, braised, soup, fried, cold dish, sweet and sour, and more variations are all available. The taste of the chicken feet is excellent regardless of the cooking method. There was once my husband, and I went to visit my brother and I made one or two dishes there. Lemongrass chicken feet was one of the dishes that I made that day. I was initially concerned that they wouldn't enjoy this cold food because not everyone enjoys cold food. My nephew commented that the taste was bland. That was because I prepared the chicken feet in a tray overnight.   The sauce is entirely at the bottom. The a

Sour Spicy (Asam Pedas ) chicken drumsticks

Do you like asam pedas dish? Asam Pedas, or literally "sour Spicy" is very different from curry. It does not contain coconut milk and is not as thick as curry. The taste is slightly spicy and very sour.   In the early days, people assume that this asam dish is very monotonous, which consist just meat and the sour soup. However, it has been changed to a new version that includes tomato and okra or even eggplant. Traditionally, mackerel fish was used to prepare this asam meal. However, you are free to cook with any type of fish you like. In addition to asam pedas fish, you may also feel free to diversify these asam pedas dishes from using prawns, squid, beef, mutton or even asam pedas chicken, which is what I would like to share with you today. Frankly, I don't always make my own asam paste, but when I do, I can really taste the difference in the flavour and complexity, and it truly makes your asam dish unique. In addition, I can control the heat level, especially for
