The ingredients used are available in most of the Asian kitchen pantry and can be done within thirty minutes. I have added Szechuan peppercorn which may not be available in certain places, but that is optional.
There are three fundamental techniques in this recipe: 1. Add salt to the eggplant so that it will absorb less oil during deep-frying 2. Add vinegar to the eggplant to preserve the purple hue of its appearance. 3. Mix the gravy with the crispy eggplant in the wok, not more than ten seconds. If you stir-fry the eggplant, the gravy will soften the crispy eggplant. More importantly, serve immediately.

I'd like to share a simple Chinese baked fish recipe with an Asian twist. All you need are fish fillets of your choice and a few common ingredients from your kitchen pantry. This recipe is an adaptation of traditional Chinese steamed fish. Instead of steaming the whole fish, it is baked in the oven, and substituting it with fish fillets makes it much more enjoyable to consume.
Ingredients 300g fish fillet of your choice 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 40g fresh ginger, cut into thin slices 2 stalks green onion, cut into sections 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil 5 tbsp premier light soy sauce 2 tsp sugar 1/4 tsp ground white pepper 1/2 cup water 1 tsp sesame oil
Method: 1. Place the fish fillet in a greased baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the fish fillet and season it with salt and pepper. 2. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Bake the fish for 15 to 20 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork. The actual cooking time depends on the size of the fish fillet. Flipping the fish fillet is unnecessary, as it is pretty delicate. 3. Cut the ginger into thin slices and the green onion into short sections. 4. Sauté the ginger and green onion in oil until fragrant. Then, add the light soy sauce, sugar, ground white pepper, and water. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the ginger and green onions release their flavors. 5. Remove them by straining the soy sauce mixture through a wire mesh strainer. Finally, add the sesame oil and the wine(optional). 6. Gently transfer the fish to a serving plate. Drizzle the fish sauce on the fish. Serve with fresh vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes, or any vegetable you choose. Garnish with green onions to serve

Borrtex - A Quick CoffeeHow to make Char Siu (叉烧) (Homemade Chinese barbeque pork)Taste of Asian Food2024-10-13 | Char Siu is a unique Cantonese cuisine. While it can be expensive in restaurants, it is more affordable at home. However, only some have open fire pits at home, and even though you can use the oven to make it, it is still quite a lot of work that will make you think twice before settling for takeout or dining at a restaurant.
Therefore, I will show you my homemade version of making Char Siu at home using a nonstick pan. This recipe is easy to follow and so simple that anyone can do it.
Ingredients: 700g pork shoulder or pork belly (cut into thick strips) 1/2 tsp five spice powder 4 tbsp honey 2 tbsp brown sugar 1cube red fermented beancurd 3 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tsp dark soy sauce 1 tbsp oyster sauce 2 tsp minced garlic 1.5 tbsp hoisin sauce
Method: 1. Cut the pork into large pieces. You can use either pork belly or pork shoulder. 2. Prepare some chopped garlic, or use garlic powder as a substitute. I prefer garlic powder because it requires less effort and is more effective for marinating the pork as it is already in powder form. 3. Marinate the pork with the following ingredients: 1/4 cup of sugar, three tablespoons of Shaoxing wine, two tablespoons of dark soy sauce, two tablespoons of oyster sauce, and two tablespoons of honey. Mix well. 4. Marinate the pork for at least one to two hours, or preferably overnight. 5. Heat two to three tablespoons of oil in a nonstick pan to pan-fry the Char Siu. 6. Place the marinated pork in the pan over medium heat. Do not cover it and pan-fry it until one side turns dark brown. Move the pork around occasionally to prevent it from burning. 7. Flip the pork over and continue to pan-fry the other side until both sides are dark brown and nicely caramelized. 8. Put the lid on and cook for a minute to ensure the pork is fully cooked. 9. When the desired color is achieved, the pork should be nicely caramelized on both sides and the gravy nearly dried. Remove it from the pan. It should look pretty good now, and you can smell the lovely aroma. 10. Wait until the Char Siu has returned to room temperature, then slice it into half-centimeter-thick pieces. 11. Pour the remaining marinade into the pan and simmer over low heat, stirring continuously, until it reduces to a thick sauce. 12/ Pour the Char Siu sauce over the Char Siu to serve.

Borrtex - A Quick CoffeeBeef Stir-fry With Vegetables | Easy Chinese recipe (with bell peppers and bok choy)Taste of Asian Food2024-10-11 | Beef stir-fry with vegetables is a popular American Chinese recipe. While the traditional Chinese uses pork and chicken, beef is more common in the West. The addition of bell peppers further westernizes the dish, but it retains its Chinese cooking technique with the Chinese seasoning and stir-fry technique. This video will show you how to prepare beef stir-fry with vegetables. Enjoy!
Ingredients A (Marinate the Beef) 6 oz beef sirloin steak (or beef top round steak) 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp ground black pepper Ingredients B (others) 4 tbsp beef broth 1.5 tbsp light soy sauce 1.5 tbsp black vinegar 2 tbsp honey 1 tsp cornstarch 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper 2 tbsp cooking oil 8 thin slices of fresh ginger 1 bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips (half red and half green) 1/2 medium red onion, cut into wedges 3 stalks of bok choy
Method: 1. Trim the fat from the beef if necessary. If desired, partially freeze the steak for easier slicing. Thinly slice the steak across the grain into bite-sized strips. Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper, then set aside. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, light soy sauce, vinegar, honey, and crushed red pepper. Set aside the seasonings. 3. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to a large skillet or wok. Heat the oil over medium heat, then add the ginger to saute until it turns aromatic. Add the beef and cook until it is 80% cooked. Remove from the skillet. Do not overcook the beef to ensure it stays tender, as it will be cooked again with the sauce. 4. Stir-fry the bok choy (cut into short sections) for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp-tender. If it is too dry, you may need to add some water. 5. Now include the bell peppers and onion, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Then, remove all the vegetables from the skillet. 6. Return the beef strips to the skillet and mix with the seasonings we prepared earlier. Add the vegetables and mix for 15 seconds. Add some sesame oil if you like (optional). 7. Thicken the sauce with cornstarch slurry. Stir-fry over medium-high heat. Transfer it to a plate and sprinkle some sesame seeds before serving. Serve immediately over white rice.

Ingredients: 4 oz. asparagus (weight after snap off the end) 1 tbsp olive oil 4 large eggs 2 tbsp milk 60g bacon, diced 50g cheese of your choice, small dice 1/4 cup bell pepper strips, multicolor Salt and pepper to taste
Method: 1. Wash the asparagus and break off the tough ends. Cut the softer stalks diagonally into pieces about 1 cm long. 2. Sauté the bacon in olive oil, then add the asparagus and continue sautéing until crisp-tender. Finally, add the bell pepper and sauté for 15 seconds. 3. In a bowl, whisk eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper. Add the asparagus, bacon, cubed cheese, and bell pepper, and mix everything well. 4. Add about two teaspoons of olive oil to a nonstick skillet. 5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Push the egg liquid around to let the uncooked egg flow to the bottom. Continue cooking the omelet over medium heat until it is set. 6. Once the eggs at the bottom of the pan have set, fold the omelet in half and transfer it to a serving plate.
In this recipe, I will present the most common way of making this soup in Chinese restaurants in Malaysia.
The egg drop soup recipe seems simple, requiring only a few ingredients. However, it is remarkably flavorful due to the rich flavor of both egg and seaweed.
- Soak the dried seaweed in water for 10 minutes or until it softens. Once the dried seaweed has softened and rehydrated, remove it with a wire mesh strainer and set it aside. - Soak the dried shrimp in water for about 10 minutes. Wash away all the dirt, drain, and set aside. - Cut the green onion into short sections about half an inch in length and the carrot into one-inch-long strips. - Slice the pork or chicken into thin slices, then marinate with salt, oil, light soy sauce, and cornstarch for 10 to 15 minutes. - Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or a large skillet. Then, lightly pan-fry the dried shrimp until they turn aromatic, which takes about one minute. - Add the water and chicken stock to the wok. Add the dried seaweed, ginger slices, and carrot strips when it comes to a boil. - Add the marinated meat. - Season the soup with salt, ground white pepper, and sesame oil. - Crack and beat two eggs in a large bowl. Pour the beaten eggs into the wok from about half to one foot above the surface, slowly forming a thin stream of eggs. Do not stir the soup in the first half minute. After half a minute, the egg will be partially cooked. Now, use the spoon to push the egg slowly to form thin ribbons. - Mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the soup slowly while continuously stirring. - Lastly, add the cut green onions to the soup, garnish, and serve.

While the original recipe is closely guarded, it can be replicated by following the general principles of bun making. Here's my version, which tastes almost identical to the original Rotiboy coffee bun.
Rotiboy is a well-known Malaysian bakery chain famous for its "Rotiboy" bun, also known as the Mexican coffee bun. Established in April 1998 in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, by Hiro Tan, the name "Rotiboy" means "breadboy" in Malay, which was inspired by a playful nickname in the founder's family.
Ingredients for the dough: 200g bread flour 40g castor sugar 1/8 tsp salt 35g milk powder 7g instant yeast 90g water 1 egg 20g unsalted butter
Ingredient for the filling: 60g salted butter
Ingredients for the topping: 60g unsalted butter 60g castor sugar 1 egg 3 tsp instant coffee powder 1 tbsp boiling water 80g regular flour
Method: Prepare the dough: - Combine bread flour, salt, milk powder, castor sugar, dry yeast, egg, and water in a large bowl. - Knead the dough for 4 minutes or until it comes together. Add the softened butter. - Continue kneading for another 8 minutes or until the dough passes the window pane test - Let it proof at a warm place until it doubles in size.
Wrap the butter (filling) inside the dough: - Prepare six portions of 10 grams of butter, shape them into round balls, and freeze them. - Once the dough has doubled in size, divide it into six equal portions. For each small portion, further divide them into small and large pieces. - Encase each frozen butter cube within a small piece of dough, keeping the seam side facing up. - Roll out the larger portion to a round shape and place it on top of the smaller dough. - Completely wrap the smaller dough using the larger dough, with the seam of the larger dough tucked underneath. - Cover the buns and set them aside to rise until they double in size again.
Make the coffee topping and bake the buns: - Dissolve the instant coffee powder in a tablespoon of hot water. - Whip the unsalted butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. - Add the beaten egg and the coffee mixture. Mix until homogeneous. - Add the regular flour and gently combine without overdoing it. - Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and seal the bag. - Preheat the oven to 180°C/355°F. Pipe a layer of the topping on top of the buns, covering at least the top two-thirds of the dough. Fill in any gaps in the topping. - Bake the buns until the topping has formed a crisp crust, which takes around 20 minutes.
INGREDIENTS Dough: 600 g (2.2 cups) of pao flour 10 g (3.2 tsp) instant dry yeast 145 g (1.1 cups) castor sugar 285 ml (1.2 cups) of lukewarm water 10 g (2.5 tsp) baking powder 1/4 teaspoon ammonium bicarbonate, optional 50 g (1/4 cup) shortening 2 g (1/2 tsp) of salt

Borrtex - A Quick CoffeeShrimp fruit salad (Chinese style) recipe with mayo dressingTaste of Asian Food2024-08-17 | Combining shrimp and fruit in one dish is not something I had considered before. However, as it has gained popularity in traditional Chinese restaurants in Malaysia, I am convinced it is a perfect combination. The Cantonese fruit and shrimp salad combines cold fruits with poached shrimp mixed with a mayonnaise-based sauce. This dish is often served as an appetizer for banquet dinners.
Ingredients: 500g shrimp (washed, remove shell and head, deveined) 150g pineapples 200 g honeydew 80gb Japanese cucumber 2 green apple 2 red apple 120g mayonnaise 3 tsp condensed milk 1 tbsp lemon juice 1/4 tsp lemon rind Salt to soak the apples
Method:
- Wash the shrimp, remove the shell, head, tails, and devein. Then add a teaspoon of salt, mix well with the shrimp, and let it rest for five minutes. - Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the shrimp, and cook over medium heat. Generally, medium-sized shrimp are cooked once the water returns to a boil, usually taking about 45 seconds to a minute. - Transfer them to a bowl of ice-cold water. - Place it on a kitchen towel to dry as much as possible. - Cut all the vegetables and fruits into about half an inch or smaller cubes. - Prepare the salad dressing by combining the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon rind, and condensed milk. - Mix all the fruits, shrimp, and salad dressing into a mixing bowl. Keep in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.

Borrtex - A Quick CoffeeSalt and pepper tofu with air-fryer- Easy and healthy recipeTaste of Asian Food2024-07-28 | Salt and pepper tofu is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that has become a staple in Asia and many other Western countries. Its uniqueness comes from the combination of the ground seasoning's savory, salty, and peppery notes.
In this recipe, I air fry the tofu instead of deep frying. The difference is that it is slightly less crispy but uses much less oil and is healthier.
Ingredients A 4 pieces firm tofu (about 500g) 1 tbsp vegetable oil Ingredients B 1/2 tbsp green onion (white section) 1 red dry chilies (remove seeds) 1/2 tbsp chopped ginger 1/2 tbsp chopped garlic Ingredients C 1/2 tbsp white peppercorns 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 1/2 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns 1 tbsp salt Ingredients D green onion rings chopped fresh red chili
Method
- Place the tofu on a piece of kitchen paper towel in a single layer to absorb as much moisture as possible. Cut it into one-inch cubes. - Preheat the air fryer according to the instructions. (Based on the model I used, I set the temperature to 240 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes in the deep fry mode.) - Add a teaspoon of oil to the air fryer and place the tofu cubes inside. If your air fryer doesn't have a tilt-and-rotate feature, pause halfway through, open the cover, and stir before continuing. - Heat some oil in a pan over low heat to sauté the green section of green onions, dry chilies, garlic, and ginger slowly until aromatic. Then, add the tofu cubes and mix thoroughly. - Toast the white peppercorns, cumin seeds, and Sichuan peppercorns in a pan over low heat until aromatic, cool, grind, sieve, and mix with salt to use as the coating for the tofu. - Before serving, add the salt and pepper mixture to the tofu in the pan and mix well. - Transfer the tofu to a serving plate, garnish with finely chopped red chilies and green onions, and it's ready to serve.

Borrtex - A Quick CoffeeEggplant and Mushroom Stir-fry | Classic Chinese RecipeTaste of Asian Food2024-07-17 | Today, I'd like to share my favorite eggplant dish with you: stir-fried eggplant with mushrooms. This dish is typically Cantonese-style, but I've added some Sichuan chili oil for extra spiciness.
The challenge of this dish is to maintain the eggplant's purplish color. To do so, I first soak it in salt and vinegar, then rinse it, coat it with cornstarch, and deep fry it. This method effectively preserves the eggplant's vibrant color, as you can see in the image above.
You can use any type of mushroom you like; I personally use king oyster and shiitake mushrooms as they are widely available where I live.
Feel free to experiment with different flavors and types of mushrooms. Try this recipe and let me know what you think in the comments section.
Ingredients A 300 g Chinese eggplants 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp white vinegar Ingredients B 150g king oyster mushrooms 150g shiitake mushrooms 1 tbsp chopped garlic 1 tbsp chopped ginger 1 tbsp chopped green onion (white section) 1 dried chili 50g cornstarch 1 tsp Lau Gan Ma chili oil Vegetable oil for deep frying and stir-frying 1 medium size onion 1 tsp sugar 2 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce 2 tbsp light soy sauce 1/4 cup water Green onions to garnish
Method:
- Cut the eggplant into batons about two inches long. Place the eggplant in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and vinegar, combine thoroughly, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. - Rinse the excess salt and vinegar. Use a dry cloth or kitchen paper towel to remove as much water as possible. Cut the king oyster mushroom into pieces similar to the eggplant, the shiitake mushrooms into thick slices, and the onions into large chunks. - Place the eggplant in the mixing bowl and add about 50 grams of cornflour to coat each piece of eggplant. Shake off the excess cornflour and set aside. - Heat the oil to about 180 degrees Celsius. Place the eggplant into the hot oil and deep-fry in batches for about one minute. Once the surface of the eggplant turns crispy, immediately remove it from the oil and place it on a paper towel. - Heat the vegetable oil and a teaspoon of Sichuan chili oil in the wok or a large skillet. Sauté the chopped garlic, ginger, white section of the green onions, and the dry red chili until aromatic. - Then, add the king oyster mushrooms and onions and sauté until they soften. - Add some water if they become too dry. Also, add the shiitake mushrooms along the way. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for about two minutes until all the mushrooms have softened. - Season with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and salt. - Finally, return the deep-fried eggplant pieces to the wok, mix well with all other ingredients, and remove them immediately.

Borrtex - A Quick CoffeeHealthy Kung Pao Chicken Recipe- Easy Home-cooked MealTaste of Asian Food2024-07-12 | I am excited to share a fantastic way to make a healthier version of the classic Kung Pao chicken!
Using an air fryer instead of deep-frying, you can enjoy all the delicious flavors with a fraction of the oil. This healthy Kung Pao chicken is quick and easy and requires only one tablespoon of oil. You need an air fryer to make this delicious and healthy Chinese chicken dish.
Ingredients: Chicken: 500 g chicken breast meat 5g salt 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tbsp vegetable oil Sauce: ½ tbsp black vinegar 2 tsp sugar 2 tbsp light soy sauce Spices and aromatic 1 tbsp garlic, chopped 1 tbsp ginger, chopped 1 tbsp green onion, white section only 6 dry red chili, cut to about 2 cm length, remove seeds 20 g cashew nuts
Method: - Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about half an inch square. This size is best for cooking in the air fryer, as larger pieces will take longer and won't absorb the sauce well during stir-frying. - Marinate the chicken with salt, cornstarch, and vegetable oil. It is a small amount of vegetable oil compared to deep frying. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 20 to 30 minutes. - While marinating the chicken, prepare the Kung Pao sauce by mixing vinegar, sugar, and light soy sauce in a small bowl. - After 20 minutes, preheat the air fryer to 240°C/ 460°F. Transfer the marinated chicken to the air fryer and cook for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. - Heat some vegetable oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped garlic and ginger until aromatic in a large skillet or wok. Keep the heat low to medium to avoid burning the garlic. - Next, add the white part of the green onion. You can substitute it with chopped onion if you don't have green onion. At this point, you also need to add the dried chilies. Continue sautéing over low heat until they become fragrant. - Once these ingredients are aromatic, pour the Kung Pao sauce we made earlier into the skillet to combine. - After the sauce boils, add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and mix well. - Sauté over medium-high heat for about 20 seconds, then reduce the heat and add the cashew nuts. Dish out to serve. - For additional flavor, add a splash of Shaoxing wine or dry sherry just before removing the chicken from the wok.
However, deep frying may not be the best option for home cooking, as it requires a lot of oil and is considered unhealthy. In this video, I will attempt to replace deep frying with air frying. The result is nearly identical, although the pork may not be as crispy. Furthermore, using an air fryer cuts down on the oil you need, so it’s a healthier choice and way easier to clean up without all that extra oil.
Note: (the temperature used in this recipe)
The air fryer I have at home (Toros brand) only has an upper element and works more like a broiler. Therefore, it needs a higher temperature (240 degrees Celcius) to operate. However, this setting is specific to my air fryer. Other models may require different temperatures and timing.
======================================= Recipe:
Ingredients A (marinate the meat) 500g collar butt pork 2 tsp light soy sauce 1/2 tsp salt 3 tbsp cornstarch 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Ingredients B (vegetables) 100g pineapples, cut into pieces 1 red bell pepper, cut into wedges 100g cucumber, cut into wedges 100g onion, cut into cubes
Ingredients C (sauce) 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp honey 5 tbsp tomato ketchup 1 tsp salt 3 tbsp water
Method: 1. Cut the cut of pork your choice into bite-sized pieces, about half to one-inch cubes. 2. Mix the pork with light soy sauce and salt. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes. 3. Cut the pineapple, bell pepper, cucumber, and onions into bite-sized pieces similar to the pork. 4. After marinating the pork, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix well. Shake off the excess cornstarch, then coat the pork with a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Set aside. 5. Preheat the air fryer to 240°C/460°F. Air fry the pork for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. 6.For the sweet and sour sauce, whisk together Ingredients C. 7. Stir-fry the onions, followed by cucumber, pineapple, and bell pepper over medium-high heat for about a minute. 8. Next, mix the sweet and sour sauce with the vegetables. 9. Finally, return the pork pieces to the wok and stir-fry with the vegetables over medium to high heat. Serve immediately.

It's best enjoyed right after frying when the beef is still crispy.

Saute the chopped onions until slightly brown. - Add the celery and carrot and continue sauteing. - While sautéing the vegetables, season them with salt halfway through, and add the chopped garlic. Saute the vegetables over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. To speed up the softening process, you can put a lid on the pot about halfway through. - Transfer the vegetables to a soup pot. - Slowly pour the vegetable broth into the vegetable. Add the milk, then turn the heat to bring the soup to a boil. - Finally, add the potato cubes and cauliflower florets, turn the heat down to medium-low, and simmer until very tender, for about 10 minutes. - Remove half of the vegetables from the stock pot and transfer them to a food processor to puree them with some water. Blend until smooth, then return the puree to the stock pot. - When it comes to a boil again, turn down the heat and add the grated cheese. Stir until completely smooth. Taste the soup and add more seasoned salt and pepper to your liking. - Serve with chopped parsley as a garnish. If you are not looking for a vegetarian dish., add some fried bacon.

What sets my mom's recipe apart from most Western mashed potato patties is that she added ground meat. This gives the patty a unique texture and flavor that's simply delicious.
Give it a try, and let me know what you think of my mom's cooking.
- Peel off the skin of the potatoes, cut them into large chunks, and boil them until they can easily mashed with a fork. - Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix them thoroughly. Once combined, gently form the mash into balls of the size you prefer. - Heat sufficient oil in a nonstick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet at low to medium heat. - Shape the mashed potatoes into small balls and place them in the pan to fry. Flatten the patties with a spatula. The potato patty should be thin. Otherwise, the ground meat inside may not be fully cooked. - When the first side of the patties turns golden, turn and pan-fry the other side. - Remove the patties from the pan to serve.
Don’t be surprised; this time, I have a non-Asian recipe 🙂. I live in Malaysia, a multicultural country mainly comprised of Malay, Chinese, and Indian. It has also been colonized by several European countries, which has enriched our culinary culture and made it multifaceted. As a result, non-Asian foods with cream sauce are equally popular, even among average families.
So here I am, venturing slightly out of my comfort zone, presenting my version of Creamy Garlic Chicken. I really hope that you will love it.
Ingredients A 2 chicken breasts 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 1/2 tsp garlic powder Ingredients B 100g flour 1/4 salt 1/8 ground pepper Ingredients C 3 tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 8 garlic cloves 1/3 cup chicken broth A dash of dried herbs 1/4 cup heavy cream 30g Parmesan cheese 1 tbsp unsalted butter 1 tbsp fried garlic
Method Pan-fry the chicken - Slicing the chicken breast horizontally in half. - Pound them with a meat mallet to tenderize the meat. - Season it with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder. - Coat the chicken breast meat with flour mix (Ingredients B). Shake off any excess flour and set aside. - Add olive oil to a pan or a large skillet to pan-fry chicken over medium heat, ensuring it is not overcrowded. - When the chicken has turned golden, turn it over to pan-fry the other side. - Remove and leave the oil in the pan. Prepare the sauce - Use the remaining oil in the pan to sauté the chopped onion. Halfway through, add the garlic cloves to the pan and mix them with the onion. - Continue sautéing until the garlic cloves turn slightly golden brown. - Add the chicken broth to deglaze all the browned bits in the pan. You may also include some herbs of your preference. - Add about 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the pan to make the garlic sauce creamy. - Next, add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce. - Return the tender chicken breasts to the pan and coat them with the creamy sauce. - Add a small piece of unsalted butter to make the sauce even creamier. - Cook it down until you reach the desired consistency, and then remove it from the pan. - Place the chicken pieces on a serving plate. Drizzle the cream sauce on top, sprinkle some fresh parsley to garnish, and fried garlic for extra garlic flavor.

These balls have a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior, providing a delightful contrast in texture that makes them a favorite among the locals. They are easy to make with minimal skill.
This video will provide a detailed guide on preparing sweet potato balls. While the recipe is pretty straightforward, two points are critical to ensure success: the correct amount of tapioca starch and the proper frying temperature.
Ingredients 200g sweet potatoes (yellow or purple sweet potatoes) 30g caster sugar 1/8 tsp of salt 50g of tapioca starch (please refer to the test of the article for the exact amount required Sufficient vegetable oil for deep frying
Method - Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thinly. Then, steam the sweet potato slices in a steamer for 15 to 20 minutes until soft and cooked. - Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. - Add the sugar and salt when the mashed sweet potato is still hot. The heat from the hot sweet potato slices will help dissolve the sugar and salt. - Add the tapioca starch to form a dough. The amount should be added until the dough is non-sticky and does not break while rolling it out. The texture of the dough should be soft and pliable, similar to that of plasticine. (Please refer to the text above) - Portion it into 10g pieces and roll it until round. - Deep-fry the balls at 120°C/250°F until they expand and float to the top of the oil. Use a chopstick to stir the balls constantly to prevent them from sticking together. - After two minutes of frying the sweet potato balls over low heat, they will expand and float to the top. Press down the balls lightly with a ladle or use the bottom of a slotted pan to submerge them in the oil as much as possible. - Continuously stir and press the balls until they turn to light golden. Then, remove them from the oil. - Next, turn up the heat to 170°C/340°F. Return the sweet potato balls to the hot oil and deep-fry them over high heat for about a minute or until golden brown. - Place the sweet potato balls on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
Note: This recipe made 30 sweet potato balls, each weighing 10g.

I will be steaming it with chicken and dried shiitake mushrooms. After having so much rich and extravagant food during the festival season, it would be refreshing to give our taste buds a break from the excessive stimulation.
Steamed Chinese Sausage with Chicken is a traditional everyday Chinese meal made with boneless chicken, Chinese sausage, dried shiitake mushrooms, cloud ears mushrooms, and Chinese red dates. Cantonese families have enjoyed this classic dish for generations, and I, too, have been eating it since I was young.
You should have had this dish if you grew up in a Chinese family. However, if you haven't, my family recipe is a great starting point for you to try something authentically Cantonese.
Recipe Ingredient A (marinate the chicken) 400g chicken meat (breast or thigh), cut into bite-size 1 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp sesame oil 1/4 tsp salt 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine 1/2 tbsp cornstarch 1 tbsp vegetable oil Ingredient B 5 red dates (remove the seeds) 7g wood ear mushrooms, soak to rehydrate, cut into thin strips 5 dried shitake mushrooms, soak to rehydrate, cut into thin strips 1 pair of Chinese sausages, blanch, then cut into thin slices

Sliced thinly and diagonally into thin pieces. Rehydrate the dried shiitake mushrooms by soaking them in water. Then, cut away the tough stems and slice them thinly. Cut the dried red dates to remove the seeds. Rehydrate the cloud ear mushrooms just like the dried shitake mushrooms. Steam the sausage, chicken, and the rest Place all the ingredients on a steaming plate. Steam for 15-20 minutes over high heat until thoroughly cooked. Once it is ready, remove it from the steamer.

I have previously uploaded a recipe for Cantonese beef stew, but today, I would like to modify it by adding some Sichuan-style flavor. I will use chili bean paste to transform the beef stew from a standard recipe to a Sichuan-style one.
Here is my recipe to prepare my favorite beef stew with potatoes.

Method Blanch and brown the beef - Fill a stock pot with water and wait for it to come to a rolling boil. - Place Ingredients A in it to boil for five minutes. - Remove the scum that floats on top. - Cut the beef into one and a half inches in size. Put the meat in a colander to drain away as much water as possible. - Place the beef in a wok without oil over low to medium heat and stir-fry it until all the water during blanching has evaporated. - Once the beef has become dry, add some oil to sear the beef until brown. Stew the beef - Place the beef and ingredients B and C into a large pot. - Add water sufficient to submerge all the ingredients. - In a different pan, saute the chopped garlic with oil until it gives off a pleasant smell. Next, add the chili bean paste and continue sauteing until it becomes aromatic. Then, transfer the garlic and chili bean paste to the beef. - Set the heat to the lowest setting possible to simmer the beef for 90 minutes. - After 90 minutes, add the potatoes and carrots and continue cooking for another 20 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Thicken the sauce - Remove all the ingredients from the pot, but keep the stewing liquid in it. Then, reduce the quantity of the liquid by boiling it if there is too much. - Thicken it with cornstarch slurry to your desired consistency. - Transfer the beef stew to a serving bowl and drizzle with the gravy. Serve as a standalone dish or with plain rice.
This traditional and luxurious Chinese delicacy is often served during festive occasions such as Chinese New Year. The good news is that it is a simple dish to prepare, as the steps are simple.
Steaming the prawns is the best way to bring out their natural flavor. Therefore, the most crucial aspect is using the freshest prawns available. Using medium to large prawns is also recommended for the best results.
The glass noodles that are steamed alongside the prawns will absorb all the delicious flavors of the prawns, making them exceptionally tasty.
If you usually cook prawns by baking or grilling, try steaming them instead for a new experience.
Ingredients A 2 tbsp of vegetable oil 5 cloves of garlic, chopped 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1/2 tsp sugar 1 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine 1/3 cup of water
Ingredients B 80g glass noodles 500g medium-sized prawns (weigh before washing) Fried garlic and chopped green onions as topping
Method Clean and prepare the prawns for steaming - After cleaning the prawns, trim the legs and cut off any sharp parts. Retain most parts of the head and the eyes to make them more presentable. - Use scissors to open the back of the prawn shell and cut into the prawn meat, starting from the part near the head to the tail. Pull out the digestive tract with your hand or with a toothpick. - Wash the prawns thoroughly with water and let them dry in a colander. How to prepare the garlic sauce - Heat some oil in a pan, add the chopped garlic, and fry until it becomes aromatic. - Next, add oyster sauce, sugar, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and water. - Let it return to a boil and set aside. - Rehydrate the glass noodles - Place the glass noodles in a container and then fill it with water until enough to submerge them. - Let it soak for 15 minutes or until the glass noodles turn soft and rehydrate. - Then, drain the glass noodles by putting them in a colander. - Transfer the glass noodles to the steaming plate. Prepare the fried garlic - Place the chopped garlic in the oil and fry it until golden brown. - Once it reaches a light golden color, remove the fried garlic from the oil by pouring it through a strainer to catch all the crispy garlic. - Transfer the garlic on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Steam the prawns - Arrange the prawns on the bed of glass noodles on the plate. - Drizzle the garlic sauce into the opening of the back of the prawns. Pour the remaining garlic sauce onto the area outside the prawns if there is excess. - Steam over high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes. - Sprinkle the fried garlic on the steamed prawns, and use chopped spring onions and chili to garnish.
