(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)

Last week, when I was at Appetite for China, Diana’s post about her trip to Hong Kong and her bowl of divine wontop soup had me gawked at my computer and then drooled all over my keyboard. A bowl of sinfully plump shimp wontons swimming in supreme stock, whispering “eat me eat me” in my ears.

I love wonton soup, but there is a problem. For years, I’ve been searching high and low for a good bowl of wonton soup, but haven’t yet found a satisfactory one in Southern California.

I love regular wontons with ground pork and a wee bit of shrimp served at Cantonese noodle joints, but the pure prawny kinds are impossible to find. (The closest thing is the leeks and shrimp jiaozi/dumpling at Dumpling 10053 at El Monte.)

Sambal Udang (Prawn Sambal) with Roti Jala Recipe

Sambal Udang or prawn sambal is a very popular Malaysian dish and there are many different recipes available. The one I love the most is my late mother’s sambal udang recipe, a very simple prawn sambal dish that I will share with you all one day. My second favorite will have to be my friend Salt and Turmeric’s authentic Malay…

Satay Prawns (Prawns with Spicy Peanut Sauce) Recipe

A few months ago, I made some satay peanut sauce from scratch, remember? I made so much that I still have the leftover, contained in a small bottle, silently and sadly sitting at an obscure dark corner in the fridge. I’ve almost forgotten about it until I cleaned my fridge the other day.
The thing about satay peanut sauce is that…

I am back to the normal posting cycle and most importantly, the comfort of my home.
Let’s just say that I am just very happy to be home, so much so that I was practically lying there on my bed and couch for the whole weekend–doing nothing and consuming only Indomie instant noodles but still feeling utterly happy. Happiness lies in…

Dragon Well Tea Shrimp Recipe (龙井虾仁)

Fried Shrimp/Prawn Balls Recipe (炸虾球)

Today, I am presenting a shrimp dish–fried shrimp balls. Don’t you think these shrimp balls look oh-so-adorable with their fringy outfit? This dish is inspired by my favorite restaurant in San Francisco–Ton Kiang, a Chinese restaurant that I absolutely love and strongly recommend. (I heard Robin Williams is a regular there!) Ton Kiang serves the best fried shrimp balls in…
