(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) 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 about Asian recipes and…
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 intended). In this guest post,…
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 Breakfasts to Rasa Malaysia as…
Vietnamese cuisine is gaining popularity in the United States and the world, so today, I invited Todd and Diane of White on Rice Couple to share a delicious Vietnamese recipe with us: Goi Cuon Thit Heo Nuong (generally known as “Goi Cuon”) or Vietnamese fresh spring rolls with a killer hoisin peanut dipping sauce (my personal favorite!). Please welcome White…
(Popular and All-Time Favorite Chinese recipes: Broccoli Beef, Chow Mein, Egg Drop Soup, Kung Pao Chicken, Cashew Chicken, Fried Rice, Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and more.) Sweet and Sour Pork, the ubiquitous and arguably the most well-known Chinese recipe in the world, is a classic Cantonese dish. Called “咕嚕肉” or “goo lou yok” in Cantonese dialect, sweet and sour pork is…
While in Beijing, do load up on pot stickers or guotie (锅贴), which one can get pretty much anywhere in the city. Here are the pot stickers at Made in China (长安壹号), a much celebrated Chinese restaurant in Beijing, located at the Grand Hyatt. I love the shape, which is definitely a lot more easier to make than the traditional…
There is an age old saying that Chinese people live to eat, or in Chinese “民以食为天.” I am Chinese and I can strongly attest to the claim–Chinese people live for the sole purpose of eating and stuffing ourselves silly with food, food, and more food. If Maslow were to create a Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs for Chinese people, it would…
Having a food blog is great, really. Other than the dedication to constantly whipping up good food (and try not to repeat the same dish in order to generate new content!), I also learn to experiment with different cuisines and recipes that I wouldn’t have attempted otherwise. (I mean, why would I want to cook a dish when there is…
There is a saying or myth in Penang about Char Hor Fun (炒河粉)–one that is only Penang’s I am sure–if you are a bachelor and would like to win the heart of your girlfriend, you would seek out the best Char Hor Fun in town and make sure you take your girlfriend there, if possible, frequently. And if you wanted…
A few months ago, I introduced cincaluk (preserved shrimp) to the world my readers with a special Nyonya dish “steamed eggs with cincaluk.” Today, I am giving you the second installment of this unique ingredient with stir-fried pork with cincaluk. Known in Hokkien dialect as Heh Ya Kay Char Bak, this Nyonya creation graced my family’s dining table very often…
A dream comes true. I met Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations, who was shooting an episode in Penang. More people will discover Penang soon!
