Ginger and Black Fungus Chicken Recipe (姜丝云耳鸡)
May 16th, 2008Recipes, 30-Minute Meals, Recipes, Recipes, Thai Recipes24 CommentsGinger and black fungus chicken is a plain and humble dish that anyone can whip up in their kitchen, and most importantly, it’s delicious and goes well with steamed rice.
This ginger chicken dish is inspired by a recipe from “Thai Cooking Made Easy,” a must-have Thai cookbook in my opinion. I have no doubt that the recipe is originally Chinese as many Thai recipes are adaptations of Chinese food. I like it that fermented beans are used in the sauce (which is absent from the traditional Chinese version), it adds a lot of depth to the taste of the chicken and black fungus. The addition of red onion is a nice touch, too…
Do try my ginger chicken with black fungus recipe, eat well, stay healthy, and have a wonderful weekend.

Tom Kha Gai–everyone’s favorite Thai coconut chicken soup–is one of the Thai recipes that I have always always wanted to make but never did. Why?

Ginger and Clam Soup (姜丝蛤蜊汤)
I love soups of all sorts, especially Chinese soups. To the Chinese, soups are highly nourishing as each ingredient in the soup delivers a certain health (and beauty) benefit and promotes overall strengths to the body. Drinking soup is a huge part of the Chinese food culture, soup is often considered as “tonic” (補品). There are endless variations of soups…

Ginger and Scallion Crab Recipe (姜葱蟹)
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) Remember that scene in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts was trying to devour her escargot and it flew across the table? I had that exact “Pretty Woman” moment–a disgraceful and embarrassing one I must say–at a Chinese restaurant recently. It was a plate of mouth-watering ginger and scallion crab, and the character in…
