Recipes
These recipes are my family’s favourites which they enjoy and request for repeatedly. They are fail proof and repeatable by anyone with minimal cooking skill.
Apple & Blueberry Crumble - Quick & Easy
I love apple & blueberry crumble - the filling is warm and tart, the crust buttery and crumbly.
Steamed Yam Cake (芋頭糕)
By itself, yam tends to be bland but when combined with the intense flavours of dried prawn & Chinese sausage, yam cake is a tasty dish.
Fluffy Pancake - for a good morning !
I like my pancake with just the right amount of fluffy texture with a tinge of saltiness and fragrance of egg and butter.
BBQ Pork Puff aka Char Siew Sou (叉燒酥)
The pastry is very flaky and the char siew filling super delicious. The process for making the flaky pastry may be a little challenging but so rewarding when you get it right.
Beef Empanadas - make some today !
These beef empanadas have a spicy sweet beef filling that goes rather well with the puff pastry.
Easy Rice Dumpling (Zong) (粽)
I cooked the pork first and then fry the glutinous rice with the pork, before cooking the lot in a rice cooker.
Roasted Duck Legs with Potatoes
we like the gamey taste of duck meat and duck skin (when roasted) is so crispy and flavoursome.
Sweet Glutinous Rice Dumpling (糯米糍)
There is something delightful about biting into soft, chewy, gooey dough filled with sweet peanut paste. Roll the sweet glutinous rice dumpling in fresh shredded coconut and you will end up with a most delectable snack.
Prawn & Tamarind Curry
If you like a spicy curry that is also sour, sweet and savoury, try making a Prawn & Tamarind Curry.
Home-made Egg Pasta
Fresh pasta has a soft yellow hue and is tender and silky in texture and has the flavour of eggs. They cook quickly, as compared to store bought dry pasta which usually does not contain any egg.
Tortilla aka Spanish Omelette
I was inspired to try to make Tortilla at home. I have to say I am pretty happy with my attempt.Here is my recipe on Tortilla aka Spanish Omelette, with a little Asian twist, by including SPAM.
Sticky Pork Rib
The sticky pork rib is tender and the taste pretty delicious although I find the sauce a tad intense. I would half the amount of sauce ingredients the next time I cook this dish and have adjusted the recipe to reflect this.
Pasta with Crab in a Spicy Tomato Sauce
This ia a delicious pasta with crab in a spicy tomato sauce.
Fried Beef Hor Fun
The noodles must have flavour, taste, and aroma that can only be imparted by a very hot wok on food during stir frying. In other word, the noodles need to be seared on high heat in the wok.
Lamb Biryani or Goat Biryani
The meat is tender and delicious and the rice is fragrant & spicy.
Fried Carrot Cake aka Chai Tow Kway (菜头粿)
Carrot cake may be eaten steamed (with chilli and hoisin sauce) or pan-fried.
