Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油鸡)

Rasa Malaysia — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 19:59:07 +0000

My Chinese New Year recipes continues today with everyone’s favorite Cantonese Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油鸡)—a staple chicken dish commonly found at Chinatown BBQ joints here in the United States and around the world—dark and glossy whole chicken dunked in a soy sauce mix with meat so tender, silky, and juicy that they are one of the must-have’s for Cantonese-style BBQ rice...

Braised Pork Belly in Soy Sauce (Tau Yew Bak)

Rasa Malaysia — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 06:51:31 +0000

Since my second sister came into town, we have been cooking up a storm. (Previously, we have made pineapple fried rice and salted fish bones curry.) We have also been reminiscing our fond memories of our late parents—sharing the stories of our times with them and those days when we were growing up. Naturally, we talked about the delicious foods...

Rachael of La Fuji Mama is a sweetheart, you’ll know what I mean if you meet her in person. I first met her a few months ago in an event at New York and became fast friends because we love similar stuff: food, traveling and living in Asia, and a penchant for Japanese cuisine. La Fuji Mama used to live...

Soy Sauce

During my recent trip back to Penang, I made a visit to my favorite soy sauce factory in Georgetown. Though soy sauce is largely produced and packed commercially now, in Penang, you can still find a few remaining soy sauce factories making their soy sauce the natural way, that is, by hand. The traditional method–sadly a dying and fast disappearing trade–ferments...

Fried Fish with Soy Sauce

Rasa Malaysia — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:08:55 +0000

I love fish, but I don’t eat enough of them here in the United States; I can hardly find the ones I love most. Growing up in Malaysia, fresh fish is abundant. There are all kinds of fish available in the wet market–big, small, tiny, deep-sea, or fresh water. I prefer smaller and tiny fish, deep-fried to crispy goodness that I...

Steamed Fish Recipe (Chinese Steamed Fish)

Rasa Malaysia — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 06:38:47 +0000

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) I love Chinese-style steamed fish–fresh-from-the-tank live fish steamed with soy sauce and topped with shredded ginger, scallions, and cilantro leaves. To me, nothing tastes as satisfying as steamed fish with white rice, drizzled with the soy sauce from the steamed fish. Sometimes, I can just eat bowls and bowls of white rice with...

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...

Pan-fried Prawns Recipe (干烧虾)

Rasa Malaysia — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 07:53:00 +0000

This pan-fried prawns recipe is probably one of the easiest but remarkably delicious recipes for prawns–fresh water prawns pan-fried with soy sauce, cooking wine, and a wee bit of sugar. In Chinese, this dish is called 干烧虾. Fresh water prawn is a great choice because of the texture of the prawns, and the juicylicious and rich taste in the heads. I...
