Chinese fried rice, everyone’s favorite dish needs no introduction from me. As simple as it is, there are many versions of Chinese fried rice–plain, with chicken, shrimp, lap cheong (Chinese sausages), pork, beef, vegetables, salted fish, eggs, or combination. Regardless of the variations, Chinese fried rice always whets my appetite. This is Hong Kong-style Chinese fried rice. I love salted…

Bonjour. I came all the way to south of France to eat these–Moules à la Marinière, or French/Belgium-style mussels cooked with white wine, onions, and parsley. Not that I can’t get mussels in California, but eating these mussels right here in a Mediterranean coastal town just adds to the authenticity and–most importantly–the flavors. While I am here, feed me more…
A simple and delightful dish–stir-fried napa cabbage with dried shrimp (and straw mushrooms). Straw mushrooms are optional but I put them into the stir-fry as I had some leftover in the fridge. Surprisingly, they transformed this humble recipe and added extra flavor, texture, and color to my stir-fried napa cabbage. I loved it! If you are a Chinese-Malaysian or Chinese,…

In Malaysia, fish balls are mostly used as toppings to noodle-based or soup-based dishes (noodle soup, fried noodles) and also served in soups.

I can’t seem to find anyone who doesn’t like Miso soup—the ubiquitous Japanese soup that is commonly served with Japanese lunch combos (bento boxes) in the United States. I am a big fan of miso soup. It’s light, invigorating with the simplest of ingredients (no scary animal fat floating at the top of the soup!) I love slurping Miso soup—especially…

Stir-fried chicken with ginger and scallions (姜葱鸡) is a traditional Chinese dish. As simple as the ingredients sound, this is not an easy dish to cook well. This dish needs a lot of wok skills. Hence, this ginger-and-scallions style of cooking is often my litmus test when I go to a new Chinese/Cantonese restaurant. If a chef can make a…
I’ve been feeling unwell since Monday and lost much of my appetite. My severe headache is killing me, my throat is scratchy, I have blocked nose and can’t breathe. Arrrghhh!
