I made this string beans (french beans) recipe a few months ago but haven’t gotten to posting it. Called 干煸四季豆, this is a popular Chinese recipe that is mostly served in Chinese restaurants here in the US.
I am back after spending 3 weeks in Asia, including a few busy days in Penang which I wished I had stayed longer. Though it was a very short trip, I am very glad that a couple Rasa Malaysia readers and a good friend came to visit. It was great to be a culinary guide taking them to sample all…
I love red curry and Thai curries in general–be it green curry, Panang curry, massaman curry, yellow curry, or red curry. There are many red curry recipes, each with slightly different ingredients, for example: potatoes, bamboo shoots, winter squash, pumpkins, Thai egg plants, etc. Chicken is commonly used for red curry, but there are pork red curry and beef red curry. Regardless of the…

I have gone Japanese food crazy lately. It all started after my recent trip to Tokyo. While I always have food crushes, this time it’s more substantial. I am motivated to learn more about Japanese cuisine and to understand the basic techniques of making Japanese food, precisely Japanese home cooking. My current love affair with Japanese food has gotten me…
Truth be told, I don’t cook as much as you think I do. And, perhaps much to your disbelief, I don’t eat as good as it appears to be. Well, not every day. Like many of you who has a busy and hectic lifestyle, I eat too much unhealthy food, for example: instant noodles or ramen. My pantry is constantly…
I am not sure what it is, it could be the heat outside, but I just don’t have much of an appetite lately, especially for lunch. Lunch is tough because I am definitely not a sandwich and salad type of person (I frown at the very thought of them), but Chinese food and Malaysian food with rice, stir-fry’s, curries and…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) As a Chinese, I’ve never had to think hard when it comes to buying noodles at the market. Noodles are a staple in Chinese cuisine; the varieties of noodles available are just like pastas to the Italians–they come in different sizes, shapes, colors, texture, and forms. There are rice vermicelli, yellow noodles, green…
