I have a story to tell you about my first encounter with egg foo young, the quintessential Chinese-American dish. A long time ago, when I first set my foot on the US soil for higher education, I went straight to the middle America. After 36 hours of tiresome journey from my hometown of Penang, Malaysia, I arrived in the state…
I am thrilled to be a part of KitchenAid Cook for the Cure campaign to celebrate this year’s Mother’s Day, which falls on May 12th. More than a decade after introducing its first pink product to help raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, KitchenAid is celebrating a major milestone: more than $9 million raised to date through its…
(All Chinese New Year recipes can be found here.) Lunar New Year is a few days away and falls on Sunday, February 10 this year. This is the year of Snake and the Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese will be celebrating the new year. As a Chinese, there are many taboos that we follow to rid of bad luck, for example:…
(This is the BEST butter cake recipe ever. Updated with new photos. Originally published in 2008.) Even though I am still a rookie in the baking department, I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things, especially baking cakes. I love baking cakes; I find it rather easy, well, if I choose a simple recipe. I especially enjoy baking cakes…
As a mother to a growing toddler, I am always frustrated that I can’t get real chicken nuggets at the stores. I don’t know why, but I haven’t been able to find a brand that produces chicken nuggets using unprocessed chicken meat. If you are a mother, you probably share my frustration, as all kids love chicken nuggets and they…
Holiday baking is probably over but I have yet another great baking recipe to share with you all—banana oatmeal raisin muffins. I have always loved banana nut muffins, and raisin butter cake, so this muffin is sort of combining all my favorite ingredients into one, with the addition of oatmeal for the extra fiber and nutrition. This muffin is rather…
Quiche is French pastry crust filled with savory egg custard made with cheese, eggs, ham, meat or vegetables. My co-worker introduced me to quiche many years ago and I have been hooked on quiche since. Quiche is something that I can eat on a daily basis, with some salad, and preferably with a serving of French onion soup. I simply adore…
This time of year is meant for baking. Not only that the holidays are fast approaching, but the falling temperature outside means more time in the kitchen as we spend less time outdoor. Nothing warms up quite like the warmth from baking something in the oven. Plus, the smell and aroma of baked goods are always welcoming in the crisp…
There are very few cookbooks that I eagerly await; one of them is Naomi Duguid’s Burma: Rivers of Flavor. It’s always so refreshing to read a cookbook about a lesser-known country and its cuisine, and the award-winning Naomi Duguid did a smashing job with the new cookbook. The food photography by Richard Jung—whom photography I absolutely adore—is simply gorgeous and…
As I mentioned in the Sukiyaki Donburi post, other than bento, rice bowls are very popular in Japan. Rice bowls are called donburi in Japanese. Donburi is basically a one-meal dish where the rice and the side dish—consisting of either meat, fish, eggs, and/or vegetables—are served together in one big rice bowl as a complete meal. With the right recipe…
