(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) I accidentally deleted all pictures captured when I was going through them on my camera!!! But luckily–BIG phew!–there is this one and only shot on the other flash card (which was full). All other mouthwatering shots were completely erased. Kaput. Gone.
Remember my Italian sweet basil plant that I told you weeks ago? Thanks to my nurturing hands, it’s blooming, growing, and abundant with leaves. Sometimes, I just pluck the leaves and straight away they go into my mouth. They are a quick pick-me-up and great as a palate-cleanser especially after some spice-laden Malaysian food. But the highlight has to be…
I am lazy by nature, very lazy. If I were to choose something to describe my laziness, it’s probably snake. Yeah, I am kind of like a snake. I don’t like to move around too much, unless I really have to, for example: when I have to eat or when nature calls. My perfect way of spending time is just…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) This is the last of my red bean paste recipes. Truth be told, I didn’t really have a recipe of my own so I referred to my Chinese cookbook “Yan Kit’s Classic Chinese Cookbook.” The recipe is pretty good, except one flaw. If you look at my pictures, you will notice that my…
I was going to feature my third recipe using red bean paste today, but I changed my mind because I have a dish which is way more interesting to share–black pepper crab! The crab is all happily mingled with loads of butter, dried shrimp, aromatic curry leaves, bird’s-eye chilies, and other seasonings. Black pepper crab to Malaysians is like chili…
This is my second creation using red bean paste. It’s still amazing to me that I made three completely different Chinese desserts using just a can of red bean paste…it’s such a versatile ingredient. There are many different kinds of bao or steamed buns, but one of my absolute favorite is Tau Sar Bao (豆沙包). When I was little, my…
My secret ingredient for this souffle egg white balls recipe is red bean paste. Red bean paste or 红豆沙 is widely used in Chinese cuisine and Japanese cuisine for many dessert dishes. I must confess that I have never made these red bean paste souffle balls or 高力豆沙 at home. A classic Shanghainese dessert, I have had them at restaurants…
Apologies for being so unresponsive to your comments and the lack of posting. I am on the road for two weeks and will be heading back soon. However, I wanted to share with you a new summer recipe–pandan chicken or fried chicken wrapped with screwpine leaves. Screwpine leaves or pandan leaves are commonly used in Malaysia to infuse the food…
I am writing this from Beijing (yes, Beijing again!). The local time is 10:30 AM and the sky is grey and very overcast (or is it pollution?). Back in the United States, summer is in full bloom now. The sun is scorching hot, all flowers blossom, young senoritas are strutting their stuff in short shorts, but most evidently, everywhere you…
My old roommate in San Francisco A taught me how to make pasta. When we were living together in the bay area many years ago, I was in charge of making Malaysian and Chinese food in the kitchen, while A excelled in western food. She made killer mash potatoes (from scratch!) and great pasta. While we didn’t indulge in seafood-loaded…
