How To Make Dried Tofu Skin (Yuba)

Flavours Of Asia 2022-06-02 | Dried Tofu Skin is one of the most versatile types of ingredients! Simply soften the skin with some water and then wrap it with meat, seafood (fish paste!) or even just use it plainly in soups or stir-fry! Personally, we love deep-frying the tofu skin until it's crispy and then mixing it into out hot pot, soups and even sometimes instant noodles! You could also have it on its own! Here are the ingredients!:

Soy Milk
400 grams Soy Beans, soaked overnight
10 to 11 cups of Water

For Soy Milk, please refer to the following video on How To Make Tofu youtu.be/Uu-KNLt0wpw (Please omit the salt)

Yield: 120 Grams of Dried Tofu Skin

Enjoy!

Sang Har Bee Hoon (River Prawns With Rice Vermicelli)

Flavours Of Asia 2021-11-05 | It's been a while hasn't it? I hope everyone's doing well! I was craving some Sang Har Mee but my daughter is currently trying to cut out gluten from her diet so I thought of this creative alternative! Instead of deep-fried noodles, it's pan-fried rice vermicelli! The trick is to not put too much oil in when frying the vermicelli (otherwise, you'll end up with hard clumps of vermicelli!) You need a bit of patience but it's well worth it! I hope you can try it out! :)

How To Make Popiah/Fresh Spring Rolls

Flavours Of Asia 2020-09-05 | Popiah or Fresh Spring Rolls, are typically filled with a variety of healthy and fresh ingredients. No hard or fast rules here, just fill it up with what you like! I like mine with sweet sauce over a leaf of lettuce, cooked jicama, green beans, fried tofu, shredded omelet, fried shallots, blanched bean sprouts, cucumber, and thinly sliced fried Chinese sausages (it’s non-halal, and only if I have some available!). Once filled, wrap it up and you’ve got yourself a delicious tasting spring roll! This is a great meal to make when having a casual gathering or a small party. Usually, one would arrange the fillings in the middle of the table and guests can pick and choose what they’d like in their Popiah. With social distancing measures in place however, it's probably best to divide the fillings into individual portions and have them get creative that way! It’s quite fun watching everyone trying to gather all of the fillings into the popiah wrap without letting it fall apart!

As requested by many of subscribers, I’ve also included an extra segment where I’ve made the popiah dough with a mixer as opposed to it being handmade (hence, this video may be slightly longer than my usual ones!). Just a friendly reminder, the dough should be elastic and smooth, and when making it, don’t be too concerned over the thinness and the sizes of the wrapper. You can always use 2 to 3 wrappers when making your Popiah!
Enjoy! :)

Sambal Egg Sandwich #nasilemaksandwich

Flavours Of Asia 2020-06-06 | I made these delicious sandwiches using some leftover Nasi Lemak Sambal.

This sandwich is basically “Nasi Lemak” without the “Nasi!” (Rice).

Ingredients
Sambal Nasi Lemak

4 pieces of Sandwich Bread
2 Hard-Boiled Eggs
2 Eggs, scarmbled
Sea Salt
Cucumber
Lettuce

How To Make Loh Shee Fun or Rice Pin Noodles (银针粉)

Flavours Of Asia 2020-05-24 | Today, I’m going to show you an easy, shortcut version on how to make authentic Hakka Rice Pin Noodles (a.k.a Loh Shee Fun or Rat Tail Noodles)! Traditionally, rice pin noodles are made with soaked grinded rice, similar to the method I showed in a previous video about how to make “rice cakes.” This recipe consists of only two ingredients, rice flour and water, and you’ll be surprised with the results: soft, bouncy, and chewy noodles! This video will showcase two different methods. The first method is kneading and shaping the dough manually and the second, is mixing the dough with a machine and pushing the dough with the heel of your hand. Although the end result of one may look better than the other, both results are equally good in taste and texture! You can use these noodles in a variety of ways from stir-fry to soup or even mixing it in with a savory meat sauce (as shown in one of my videos which I will link in the in the description box!) Enjoy!

Ingredients
400 grams Rice Flour
600 ml Water
Additional 80 grams of Rice Flour

Makes approximately 1.2 kg of Rice Pin Noodles
