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…
Great things do come in small packages–such is true when it comes to Nyonya Kuih Pie Tee. Alluringly gorgeous in presentation and rank high in the taste and flavor department, Nyonya Kuih Pai Tee are virtuous snacks that showcase clean flavors and brilliant combination of fresh ingredients–it’s undeniably one of the most inventive and vividly luscious Nyonya creations. Making…
(Originally published in 2006, this post is updated with new photos.) Bah Kut Teh or Pork Bone Tea is a Chinese soup dish. Infused with herbs such as Dong Quai, Cinnamon, Star Anise, and loaded with pork ribs, dried Shitake mushrooms, tofu puffs, and heaps of garlic, this soup fills the kitchen with evocative scents. Bah Kut Teh needs a…
Call me a clam predator or clamoholic, I love clams and can’t get enough of these little shelled mollusks. Clams are extremely juicy, flavorful, and a versatile ingredient. There are so many ways you can consume them: steamed, fried, stir-fried, boiled, baked, soup, or raw (like the Japanese do). For me, I always love my clams stir-fried–a little bit of…
OK, it’s official, I am in looooooooove with Indonesian food. Since discovering the taste of real Indonesian food at Java Spice in Rowland Heights, I have had no less than 5 Indonesian meals (eat-in, take-out, and home cooking included) in the last two weeks: dishes such as Ayam Kalasan, Soto Ayam, Gado-Gado, Nasi Goreng, and Sate. This is not my…
