These days, I am so busy that I don’t have much time to explore blogoshere, so I rely on websites like Tastespotting to discover really good food blogs, and that’s how I discovered My Kitchen. Lydia Teh is a fellow Malaysian and her blog My Kitchen is full of great recipes and very beautiful food photography. Lydia is also a great cook and makes some of the most authentic Chinese and Malaysian dishes around. Please welcome My Kitchen to Rasa Malaysia as she shares her Char Siew Bao/Char Siu Bao recipe (Chinese roast pork or barbequed pork buns) with us. What’s more, she made her Char Siew Bao/Char Siu Bao (叉烧包) from scratch. Now, that’s what I call a no-cheat great cook!
(Check out my char siew/char siew recipe. Highly recommended!)

A while ago, I received an email from Bee–Rasa Malaysia. I have been following her blog for quite some time but never expected to be invited as a guest writer on her blog. What a big surprise and honour to me!
What dish should I bring to Rasa Malaysia? Bee suggested char siew (Chinese barbecued pork) but since I made char siew before, we settled on char siew bao/char siu bao (steamed bun with char siew filling). Char Siew Bao/Char Siu Bao is one of the signature dishes in dim sum restaurants around the world. This irresistible little steamed bun is soft and fluffy, filled with slightly sweetened char siew…(get char siew bao/char siu bao recipe after the jump)

When it comes to traditional Chinese recipes, I always turn to Use Real Butter as my ultimate online resource. (I learned how to make Chinese dumplings and potstickers from her.) Use Real Butter is a seriously good blog–very down-to-earth, real, and choked full of delicious recipes plus breathtaking landscape photography and some of the cleanest food porn; I become a fan instantly. Today, I am very happy to feature Jen Yu of Use Real Butter as our guest writer. Jen shares her easy egg roll recipe (with sweet egg roll) and step-by-step picture cooking guide. Please give her your warmest welcome and support, and don’t forget to pay her a visit at her wonderful blog.

I can’t tell you what a pleasure and an honor it is for me to be guest blogging on Rasa Malaysia. This is one of my all-time favorite sites for fantastic Asian recipes (and if you know me, I am picky when it comes to authentic Chinese food) and beautiful photography. When Bee asked if I’d be interested in writing a guest post, I practically fell out of my chair. Yes, of course! But what would I blog? To be honest, I come here to reference many of Bee’s recipes. Eventually, we settled on egg rolls…(get Jen’s egg roll recipe and learn how to wrap egg roll after the jump)

When I was compiling my Chinese New Year recipes, I came to realize that I don’t have a potsticker recipe on Rasa Malaysia. Why haven’t I posted my recipe for potstickers–the ubiquitous Chinese dumplings that are well-loved by so many people in the world–on a site that is supposedly [...]
Almost every country in Asia has its own interpretation of spring rolls, otherwise known as egg rolls in the United States. In the Philippines, spring rolls are called lumpia. When I thought of featuring lumpia recipe on Rasa Malaysia, I immediately thought Marvin, the author of the popular Filipino food blog Burnt Lumpia (no pun [...]
Even though I tout Rasa Malaysia as the online source for Asian cooking and recipes these days, I don’t have any Filipino recipes! When I started thinking about having Filipino guest writers, I immediately thought of ChichaJo of 80 Breakfasts. I adore her beautiful blog, writing style and fab food photography. So, please welcome 80 [...]

Sweet and Sour Pork, the ubiquitous and arguably the most well-known Chinese recipes in the world, is a classic Cantonese dish. Called “咕嚕肉” or “goo lou yok” in Cantonese dialect, sweet and sour pork is very pleasing to the palate because of the flavorsome sweet and sour sauce–the sweetness [...]
