(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) Wontons–those dumplings of ground pork plus seafood goodies–are very popular as snack or appetizer. They come in small parcels and are available in many forms; deep-fried, boiled, steamed, or in soup. After all the heavy Thanksgiving eating last weekend, I was craving for something light, appetizing, yet not overly complicated to make. As…
If you are looking for new ways of cooking leftover turkey from Turkey Day, I have something exotic that you might want to try out (or not). I cooked mine the Malaysian way and the end result is a pot of steaming hot “Chai Buey” (菜尾). Literally means leftovers, Chai Buey is a dish that is quite common in Chinese-Malaysian…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) I am partial to soybean foods: bean curds, tofu, soy milk, bean curd sheets, bean curd sticks, and vegetarian food made of soybeans. I consume these products a lot; as a matter of fact, I drink soy bean milk every day and I can’t live a week without soy sauce. Bean curd sticks…
Due to the positive responses from the debut of “Rasa Malaysia 30-Minute Meals,” I came home today and started cooking the minute I walked into the house. I was driven by the intention to further impress my readers. Inspired by Eat First Think Later’s recipe, today’s creation is Salty Pancakes with Dried Shrimps and Shredded Cabbages. The end results, as…
I am starting a new series of recipes for the busy bees who do not have all the sweet time in the world to cook up a storm in the kitchen on a daily basis. I, for one, do not have the luxury to cook something elaborate each day. Just like many of you, I have a day job to…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) On weekends when I have all the sweet time in the world, I like puttering around the kitchen–flipping through my cookbooks, digging out ingredients–you know productive activities. Never mind the plants need pruning, the house needs cleaning. Then I’ll finally get around to cooking up something pleasant and satisfying–such as these beautiful and…
As my previous post stated, recently I am hooked on flour-loaded foods; last night, my craving for Carbohydrates hit me once again and the end results were these butter cookies with sliced almonds. Yum. Now I have to make a little confession–I have never made cookies before–so I make no pretense to be a patissier (I didn’t even know that…
Lately, I am really into Carbohydrates: breads, cakes, beans, pastas, noodles, and then more flour-loaded stuff. I blame it on the weather as the temperatures drop lower, the days get shorter, and the mornings get colder. On a chilly morning, nothing beats some warm, fluffy, and soft home-made pancakes. Pancakes are very easy to make and you can whip them…
Some of the greatest dishes call for really simple ingredients, such as this Hokkien delicacy “Stir-fried Bean Curd with Leeks.” While I love fancy Chinese food that entails scarce and expensive ingredients such as abalone, scallops, sea cucumber, and live seafood, sometimes I like my food very plain, simple, yet nostalgic. This Hokkien dish is my mother’s specialty and certainly…
Since my last post about Potluck Party, Malaysian Style, I have had no less than five inquires about this slurpylicious and jilatable dish (yes, I almost terjilat aka “licked” my plate dry when I first tried them last week)–emails, comments from my last post, plus a couple of phone calls. Due to the overwhelming and positive responses, I resolved to…
