Title: Asian Recipes
Post by: Anonymous on February 04, 2013, 08:13:19 PM
I made coconut tarts yesterday and my family loved them.
Our riff on the traditional tarte Tatin is individually sized and topped with tangy pineapple, flaky toasted coconut, and a hint of ginger.
Game plan: The tarts can be made up to 4 hours ahead, cooled completely, stored in an airtight container, and reheated on a baking sheet at 300°F for 5 to 10 minutes.
If you don't have a 12-well muffin pan, you can use two 6-well muffin pans; just be sure to bake them side by side in the oven.
This recipe was featured as part of both our New Year's Eve Speakeasy Party and our story on hand-held meals you can make in a muffin pan.
.
INGREDIENTS
•1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
•1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
•1 (14- to 16-ounce package) frozen puff pastry, thawed according to the package directions
•Flour, for dusting the work surface
•2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
•1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
•1/8 teaspoon fine salt
•2 cups fresh, small-dice pineapple
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Generously coat a 12-well muffin pan with the melted butter using a pastry brush. Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the coconut inside each well; set the pan aside.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. (Some brands may not require any rolling.) Prick it all over with a fork, then cut 12 circles using a round cookie cutter the width of the top of the muffin wells (about 2 3/4 inches). Place the puff pastry circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper and refrigerate until needed.
Place the brown sugar, ginger, and salt in a medium bowl, break up any lumps with a spatula or wooden spoon, and stir to combine. Add the pineapple and stir to coat.
Evenly divide the pineapple mixture among the muffin wells. Place a puff pastry circle on top of the pineapple mixture and gently tuck the sides into the well to seal around the pineapple.
Bake until the pastry is puffed and dark golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. While the tartlets are still warm, run a knife around each to loosen it from the well. Place a baking sheet over the muffin pan and carefully invert the muffin pan onto the baking sheet. Gently tap the bottom of each well and then remove the muffin pan. (If some pieces of pineapple and coconut remain inside the wells, just scrape them out and place them on top of the tartlets.) Serve warm.

Chinese dumplings are a staple for Lunar New Year...a favourite in my home.
Ingredients:
• Dumpling Dough*
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup boiling water
•Filling:
• 8 ounces celery cabbage (Napa cabbage)
• 3 tsp salt, divided
• 1 pound lean ground pork
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, with tops
• 1 TB white wine
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• Dash white pepper
•Dipping Sauce:
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
•Other:
•2 - 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Preparation:
Cut the cabbage across into thin strips. Mix with 2 teaspoons salt and set aside for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix the celery cabbage, pork, green onions, wine, cornstarch, the remaining 1 teaaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and the white pepper.
In a bowl, mix the flour and 1 cup boiling water until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly flour surface about 5 minutes, or until smooth.
Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a roll 12 inches long and cut each roll into 1/2-inch slices.
Roll 1 slice of dough into a 3-inch circle and place 1 tablespoon pork mixture in the center of the circle. Lift up the edges of the circle and pinch 5 pleats up to create a pouch to encase the mixture. Pinch the top together. Repeat with the remaining slices of dough and filling.
Heat a wok or nonstick skillet until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, tilting the wok to coat the sides. If using a nonstick skillet, add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil. Place 12 dumplings in a single layer in the wok and fry 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook 6 to 7 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
To make a dipping sauce, in a small bowl, mix the soy sauce with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Serve with the dumplings.

Lettuce wraps are one of my favourites and something I make several times in a year.
Ingredients:
•1 head iceberg lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves (whichever you prefer)
•.
•Sauce:
•1 tablespoon soy sauce
•2 tablespoons oyster sauce
•1 tablespoon dry sherry
•1 teaspoon sugar
•.
•Remaining Ingredients:
•1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
•1 slice ginger, minced
•1 garlic clove, minced
•2 green onions, chopped
•1 lb meat from chicken breasts or sliced white chicken meat
•1 red pepper, seeded and diced
•1 can water chestnuts, rinsed in warm running water and chopped
•1 stalk celery, diced
•1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Preparation:
Wash the lettuce, dry, and separate the leaves. Set aside.
Mix together the sauce ingredients. Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan on high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and green onions and fry until the garlic and ginger are aromatic. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken is browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the red pepper, water chestnuts, and celery to the frying pan. Add the sauce ingredients and cook at medium heat, Give the cornstarch/water mixture a quick restir and add to the sauce, stirring to thicken. Add the chicken back into the wok. Cook for 2 - 3 more minutes, stirring, to heat through and finish cooking the chicken.
Lay out a lettuce leaf and spoon a heaping teaspoon of the chicken and vegetable/sauce mixture into the middle. The lettuce wraps are designed to be eaten "taco-style," with the lettuce/chicken mixture folded into a package. Continue with the remainder of the chicken and lettuce leaves. Serve.
Variations: Try substituting different vegetables, or using one of the many stir-fry sauces that are now on the market in place of the sauce.

Turkey soup with an Asian twist
Ingredients
* approximately 2 pounds of turkey meat chopped into small spoon sized squares(I use dark meat because my husband likes the white meat for sandwiches)
* 8 celery sticks chopped into tiny peices
* two bunches of spring onions also cut into half inch pieces
* one small piece of ginger chopped into tiny pieces
* 6 crushed garlic cloves
* one package enoki mushrooms
* two packages of vermicelli
* three table spoons of olive oil
* one litre box of chicken broth
Steps
- sautee ginger, spring onions and garlic in a large stock pot
- add turkey to the mix
- add the chicken broth to the sauteed vegetables and turkey
- bring to a boil then add vermicelli
- when vermicelli is cooked add mushrooms and celery.
- reduce heat to lowest level and simmer
If you let it sit for about one hour it is more flavourful than if you serve it as soon as it's cooked.

The skin is really crispy, but it is really filling. The key is moderation when eating it. It is similar to lechon, but I prefer liempo..
We'll have pancit along with it.

There´s a lot of iron in the heart. My hemoglobine is a steady 155.
I also eat paprika and there´s a lot of iron in that too.
Other organs are a no go for me.
Heart is a muscle so the taste is not far from beef.

Agreed, it is not good. We usually feed kidneys, livers and other parts of that sort to our hunting-dogs.

Pinay has invited me out for pork liempo on Saturday..
It is a Filipino crispy pork dish and apparently very tasty.
(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSLNT93hoXQpvclPWPNfn7MXds4fIswJXIy4ZAi80XnRkj_ZYtU%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9%20...%20XnRkj_ZYtU%22%3Ehttp://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSLNT93hoXQpvclPWPNfn7MXds4fIswJXIy4ZAi80XnRkj_ZYtU%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E) That looks like lechon. The skin is really crispy, but it is really filling. The key is moderation when eating it. It is similar to lechon, but I prefer liempo..
We'll have pancit along with it.
I prefer pork liempo too ! you get a lot of crispy skin and the meat is softer. Dip it in soy sauce with fresh lemon juice, hhmm really delicious ! i'm craving for it now :D See u Saturday Fash ! :)

We are having pepper pork tonight and whipped frozen avocado with Greek yooghurt for dessert.
Ingredients
900 grams pork tenderloin – sliced into 3mm pieces
2 medium onions - cut into rings (optional)
2 tb dark soya sauce
2 tb oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
4 tb oil
2 tsp cornflour
4 oz water
salt to taste
1 tsp chicken stock granules (or one chicken boullion cube)
Directions
For Marinade I:
15 pips of garlic
2 tb whole white pepper pods (add ½ tb if you want it spicier)
Marinade II
2 tb dark soya sauce
2 tb oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
4 tb oil
2 tsp cornflour
4 oz water
Salt to taste
1 tsp chicken stock granules (or one chicken boullion cube)
Directions:
Place sliced pork into deep bowl. Add "marinade I" and mix, leave for 5 minutes then add in "marinade II" and mix evenly. Let it marinate at least 2 two hours before cooking.
Heat oil and add marinated meat to the pan, stir fry for 1 minute, add 3 oz water and bring to boil, add salt and chicken granules; cook until done on the tender side.
Remove the pork, and thicken the pan gravy with cornflour pre dissolved in the balance of the water. Serve, sprinkled with chopped parsely for color.
Note: If you'd like to add onion, which caramelize beautifully in this dish, add and stir fry until transparent before adding the water.
Tip: Though a little more work, the pounded (mortar and pestle) spices give off more flavour and fragrance as compared to using a blender.

We played badminton on the beach as a family which I think I enjoyed the most..
We go camping in our rv several times over the summer, but this trip was very special.

A new study just found that older people who cook at home for up to five times a week were 47% more likely to live longer than those who don't. Conducted on 1,888 men and women aged above 65 in Taiwan over the course of 10 years, the study was published in Cambridge University's journal Public Health Nutrition.

Bok choy with beef
Ingredients
1 (1-1.5-pound) piece beef tenderloin
For marinade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon medium-dry Sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 pound baby bok choy
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Preparation
Cut beef crosswise (across the grain) into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut slices into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
Make marinade and marinate meat:
Stir together marinade ingredients in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Add beef, tossing to coat, and marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Blanch bok choy:
Separate bok choy into individual leaves and halve crosswise, keeping stems and leaves separate. Cook stems in a large pot of boiling water 15 seconds, then add leaves and cook 15 seconds more. Drain in a colander, then rinse with cold water to stop cooking and drain well.
Fry beef:
Stir together soy sauce, Sherry, and vinegar.
Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 400°F.
Add beef to hot oil with tongs (discard marinade) and cook, stirring carefully, until slices separate, about 1 minute. Transfer beef with tongs to a colander and drain.
Stir-fry beef and bok choy:
Reserve 3 tablespoons oil from skillet and discard remainder. Heat reserved oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beef, soy mixture, and bok choy and stir-fry until sauce is simmering and mixture is just heated through, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

8 Add bell pepper and carrots, stir fry until tender crisp about 2-3 minutes, then add snow peas.9 Continue to stir fry until tender crisp.
10 Add the cashews and serve immediately over a bed of white rice.

Taiwanese dumplings
Ingredients:
For the dough:
•4 cups of plain flour
•Extra flour for dusting
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 ½ cup warm water
For the filling:
•500 grams of pork mince
•½ cabbage
•5 tablespoons soy sauce
•2 tablespoons oyster sauce
•1 tablespoon raw sugar
•¼ Ginger
Directions:
Making the dough
1. In a bowl, add the flour and salt and mix.
2. Make a well in the flour and add the water.
3. Slowly, using your hands, combine and mix until it forms into a ball.
4. Knead the dough for 5 minutes and then roll into a long cylindrical shape, roughly 3cm thick.
5. Cut roughly 3cm thick pieces and set aside.
6. Dust a piece of the cut dough well and flatten with the palm of your hand.
7. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a flat circle.
8. Repeat until all the dough has been rolled.
Making the filling
1. Finely chop the cabbage until it is minced.
2. In a bowl, combine the mince and chopped cabbage and mix well.
3. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and shave ginger into the mixture. Mix well.
Making the dumpling:
1. Taking one piece of rolled out dough, spoon one teaspoon of the filling in the middle of the dough.
2. Slowly fold up the dough and flatten the edges until you have a moon like crescent.
3. Fold the edges 3 or 4 times to make a pattern.
4. Set aside onto a lightly floured plate.
5. Repeat until all the dough and mixture is used up.
Cooking the dumpling:
1. In a heated pan, add a dash of vegetable oil.
2. Once the oil is hot, slowly the dumpling pieces into the pan and turn to medium heat.
3. Add a dash of cold water and cover with a lid to slowly sizzle and steam.

Taiwanese pork chops
Ingredients:
*6(3/4 inch) thick bone-in pork chops
*2 tablespoons soy sauce
*1 tablespoon minced garlic
*1 tablespoon sugar
*1/2 tablespoon white wine
*1/2 tablespoonChinese five-spice powder
*vegetable oil
*olive oil for frying
*cornstarch
Directions:
1.With a sharp knife, make several small slits near the edges of the pork chops to keep them from curling when fried.

4.Carefully add chops to skillet; cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

Steamed lemon chicken
Ingredients:
•6 boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
•2 slices minced ginger
•4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
•Marinade:
•1 tablespoon dry sherry
•1 tablespoon oyster sauce
•1 tablespoon light soy sauce
•1 teaspoon brown sugar
•Garnish:
•Green Onion (Spring onions, scallions)
•Lemon wedges
Preparation:
Combine the marinade ingredients. Place the chicken in a bowl with the lemon juice. Add the marinade ingredients and sprinkle the ginger pieces over the chicken.
Marinate the chicken for about 20 minutes.
Steam the chicken. If using the wok to steam the chicken, place the chicken on a steamproof dish and pour the marinade ingredients over it. Steam the chicken until it turns white and is cooked through.
If using a commercial steamer, prepare according to the steamer directions. Depending on the type of steamer, you may not be able to pour the marinade over the chicken before steaming. If that is the case, reserve the marinade and steam the chicken according to the manufacturer's instructions. Bring the reserved marinade to a boil and pour over the chicken just before serving.
Serve hot with rice and stir-fried dried mushrooms. Garnish with green onion and lemon wedges.

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet or cover with foil and bake tofu for 15 minutes, turning once.
In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, sautee the onion, bell pepper, red pepper flakes, mushrooms and ginger in 2 tbsp sesame oil for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add bok choy and vegetable broth and cook for 3 to 5 more minutes. Add cabbage and snow peas.
Reduce heat to low and add tofu and remaining ingredients, cooking just until combined and heated through. Serve over rice.

Swamp football/soccer. And food. Must have had a lot of calories. I am trying to lose weight, but it is tough with my mother cooking such great food all the time. Yea, but I burn them.
Running after a ball trying to defeat the opposing team knee deep in swamp is really nice exercise.
At the end of the day they have to drag us back home. :D
Messy game.

Tonight is vegeatrian Monday and I made vegeatrian Korean bibimbap with a miso soup.
Ingredients
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/3 cup chopped green onion
4 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
3 cup sun cooked glutinous (sticky) white rice, rinsed
6 1/2 cups water
4 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 pound fresh spinach, washed and chopped
12 ounces cucumber, julienned
12 ounces carrots, julienned
sesame oil
8 ounces fresh bean sprouts
6 eggs
6 sheets dried seaweed, crumbled
6 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 cup chili bean paste (Kochujang)
Directions
1. Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover; simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Combine shiitake mushrooms and 1/2 cup hot water in a small bowl, and soak for about 10 minutes, until pliable. Trim off and discard the stems. Thinly slice the caps. Set aside.
3. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add spinach to the water just long enough to wilt the leaves, and then drain and pat dry. Set aside. Combine cucumber and carrots in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
4. Preheat wok over medium-high heat. Cook carrots and cucumbers in a small amount of sesame oil to soften, stirring frequently. Remove from pan, and set aside. Add a small amount of sesame oil to the pan, and cook spinach in sesame oil for a minute or two. Remove spinach from pan,and set aside.
5. Brush each bowl with sesame oil to coat. Divide the rice into the bowls, and gently pack to the bottom (the rice should sizzle as you arrange). Arrange the cucumbers and carrots, bean sprouts, greens, shiitake mushrooms, and beef mixture over each potion of rice. Immediately before serving , add one raw egg yolk to each bowl, drizzle with about a tablespoon of sesame oil, and top with the nori. Serve Kochujang sauce as a condiment.

Ease up with the blue cheese because can be really strong.
Many people do not like it but I like basically all cheeses.
I once ate a really bad smelling cheese from France with bread. I was hesitant at first but they insisted that I try it and it tasted really good.

Champignon mushroom. Apparently that is its name.

Always add up some butter on potatoes and salt on eggs.
Awesome taste. Those mushroom/bacon/cheese thingies are great. Not to use too much cheese because blue cheese is kinda strong.
When done right they will be dripping grease and make a great snack. They have to be warm so that they are juicy.
Like any other food, they have to be juicy.

After eating barbeque all weekend it is nice to have some traditional food..
1 teaspoon chili paste (can substitute a couple pinches of red pepper flakes)
For Coating & Frying:
3 egg whites
1½ cups cornstarch
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Sesame seeds, to garnish
Scallions, sliced, to garnish
Directions:
1. To make the marinade, whisk the chicken stock, water, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch and sesame oil in a bowl. Of this mixture, place 6 tablespoons into a zip lock storage bag and add the chicken; seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Set aside the remaining marinade in the bowl.
2. While the chicken is chilling in the marinade, heat the 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Sauté the garlic, ginger and chile paste until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Add 2 cups of the reserved marinade to the skillet and simmer, whisking constantly, until the mixture has become a darker brown and thickened. Remove from the heat and cover.
3. To prepare the chicken for coating and frying, whisk the egg whites in a shallow dish until foamy; set aside. Combine the cornstarch, flour, baking soda, and remaining marinade in a second shallow dish; mix using a fork until it resembles coarse meal.
4. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and from the marinade. Pat the marinated chicken dry with paper towels.
5. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat until the oil registers 350 degrees.
6. While the oil is heating, prepare the chicken for frying. Toss half the chicken into the foamy egg whites until well coated, then dredge the chicken in the cornstarch mixture, pressing to adhere. Transfer the coated chicken to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
7. Fry half the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning each piece halfway through cooking. Transfer the cooked chicken onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Return the oil to 350 degrees. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
8. Warm the sauce over medium heat until simmering. Turn off the heat and add the fried chicken pieces. Toss to coat and serve, sprinkling with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.

Pineapple chicken with sweet and sour sauce.
Ingredients:
•2 tablespoons oyster sauce
•Salt and pepper, to taste
•1 tablespoon cornstarch
•Vegetables:
•1/2 red bell pepper
•1/2 green bell pepper
•1 large carrot
•1/2 cup pineapple chunks (reserve 3/4 cup juice from can)
•Batter:
•3/4 teaspoon baking powder
•3/4 teaspoon baking soda
•1 cup all-purpose flour
•1/2 cup cornstarch
•2 tablespoons vegetable oil
•1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups flat soda water, or as needed
•1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
•Sweet and Sour Sauce Ingredients:
•3/4 cup pineapple juice (reserved juice from canned pineapple)
•4 tablespoons vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
•3 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
•1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 4 tablespoons water
Preparation:
Directions for making Pineapple Chicken:
Pre-heat the oil for deep-frying to between 360 - 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut the meat from the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Add the marinade ingredients to the chicken, mixing in the cornstarch last. Marinate the chicken for 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables and batter. To prepare the vegetables, cut the red and green bell pepper into chunks. Peel the carrot and cut into 1-inch pieces on the diagonal. Drain the pineapple and reserve 3/4 cup of juice.
To prepare the batter, mix the baking powder and baking soda together well, and stir into to the other dry ingredients. Gradually add the oil. Add 1 1/4 cups of the soda, then stir in as much of the remaining 1/4 cup soda as is needed. Mix well, and add the diced green onion. Mix the chicken in the batter until it is well coated.
Deep-fry the chicken. While the process is very quick, the chicken should not turn brown immediately - if it does the oil is too hot. Place the deep-fried chicken pieces on a tray lined with paper towels to drain. (Do not cover the chicken).
To prepare the sauce, bring the reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, and brown sugar to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the carrot, green pepper, and pineapple. Bring to a boil again and add the cornstarch mixture, stirring quickly to thicken. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt, or more sugar or vinegar if desired. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve hot.

I'm not sure if there is a non-Asian dinner or cooking thread already on the forum. I am having a non-Asian dinner tonight.
Fried pork chops with applesauce on top, baked root veggies in my home grown garlic, basil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, bay leaves, half olive oil and half butter, as well as steamed beans with salt and basil. Raw veggies before the dinner (celery, radish, bc cherry tomatoes, mini cucumber, green onion, carrot, yellow pepper, etc.. grapes, pudding maybe with cut banana in it and/or mini watermelon sliced up. Cold water and tea.
Also I was wondering if I there was some way I could change my handle? I haven't thought of a permanent handle yet, but I am not fond of my current one. :)

It wasn't true asian food, but last night I made slow cooker pepper steak.
It was alright, but I would not add salt and use less soy. I will try a different similar recipe the next time.
I had corn on the cob, baked beets, and green beans sauteed in butter and olive oil, garlic, hot pepper, shallot, and ginger. The beets I just wash and leave the skin on, dry, wrap in tinfoil like a cand is wrapped, and bake at 350 for about one hour and fourty five minutes. Then slice the skin off and serve. You can put balsamic on it.

When the oil is hot, add the onion. Stir-fry until the onion is softened, then add the carrots..
Stir-fry for another 2 minutes, then add first the green and then the red bell pepper.
Push the vegetables up to the sides of the wok..
Add the sauce in the middle and add the pork..

Hot and sour soup
Ingredients:
6 dried Chinese black fungus
6 dried wood ear, black, cloud, straw, or shiitake mushrooms, or one bunch of fresh enoki mushrooms
5 dried lily buds
One can of bamboo shoots
2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of white vinegar or rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
4 cups of chicken broth (use gluten-free broth for gluten-free version)
1/2 block of firm tofu, diced into small cubes
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
3 scallions, diced
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons of finely ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon of chili oil (optional)
Cilantro (optional)
Directions:
1 Pour boiling water over the mushrooms until the mushrooms are covered and allow them to soak for 20 minutes, turning the mushrooms over occasionally. It may not seem like a lot but they will grow quite a bit. After soaking remove any woody ends with a knife. Cut mushrooms into strips. Reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid and mix with the cornstarch. (If using fresh enoki mushrooms set aside as they do not need to soak).
2 Pour boiling water over the lily buds until covered and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Cut the buds crosswise then tear them up into a few bunches.
3 Mix the vinegars and soy sauce together and set aside. Open the can of bamboo shoots, drain well, and cut the shoots lengthwise into strips.
4 Place the chicken broth into a bot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the tofu, mushrooms, lily buds, bamboo shoots, vinegar mixture, and cornstarch mixture. Mix and bring back to a boil. Once it comes to a boil remove from heat. While stirring the soup slowly pour the egg into the broth in a small steam while stirring the soup allowing the egg to instantly cook and feather into the soup.
5 Add the scallions, white pepper, sesame oil, and chili oil if using. Taste and adjust white pepper, vinegar, and salt to taste. Add cilantro to garnish and for added flavor. Serve immediately.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and set aside. Put the marinade in a pot over medium heat and reduce by half. Oil the grill grates with canola oil, arrange the chicken on the grill, skin-side down and cook for 8 minutes per side. Brush the chicken liberally with the reduced marinade before turning. (Reserve 1 piece of chicken for the Round 2 Recipe. Chicken Pot Stickers.)
In a medium pot combine the rice, sliced ginger, salt and 3 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let cook until the rice has absorbed all the water and is fluffy, about 15 to 20 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, put the scallions on the grill, reserve 1 uncooked scallion for Round 2 Recipe "Chicken Pot Stickers". Cook until wilted, about 2 minutes per side. (Reserve 2 grilled scallions for Round 2 Recipe "Chicken Pot Stickers")
Transfer the rice to a serving platter, discarding the sliced ginger. Top with the cooked chicken, garnish with grilled scallions and serve.

I saw this recipe for hot Asian pork skewers with rice vinegar slaw on the Food Network.
Ingredients
Pork:
1 (1 1/2-pound) pork butt, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1 cup sweet chile paste
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 habanero, minced (keep the seeds in if you want it super spicy)
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
Slaw:
1/2 head green cabbage, sliced
1/4 head red cabbage, sliced
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
3 tablespoons salt
Special equipment: 10 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 1 hour
Directions:
For the pork: Place 4 to 5 pieces cubed pork onto each skewer and continue until all the pork has been skewered. Place on a sheet tray.
To make the marinade, mix the teriyaki sauce, sweet chile paste, red pepper flakes, habanero and brown sugar in a bowl until well combined. Take 1/4 cup of the marinade and baste each skewer. Put the skewers in a plastic bag and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or up to overnight. Save the rest of the marinade as a basting sauce for grilling.
While the pork is marinating, make the rice vinegar slaw. In a non-reactive bowl, mix the green and red cabbage and the carrots. Let stand until the colors bleed, about 10 minutes. During that time, make the dressing. Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, brown sugar, celery seed and salt. Pour over the cabbage mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour.
To serve: After the pork has marinated, heat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pork skewers over direct heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, painting on the remaining sauce for a nice caramelization. Serve the pork skewers on a bed of the rice vinegar slaw and extra sauce for dipping.

Here is a recipe I found for Asian/Hawaiian beef stew..
It was very tasty.
Ingredients:
• 2 pounds stewing beef (try sirloin or blade roast)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 large onions
• 2 cans tomato sauce
• 6 medium potatoes, cut to the size of small stones
• 2 large carrots, cut to the size of bottle corks
• 5 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
• Thickener:
• 4 tablespoons flour
• pinch of sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (light soy sauce)
• 1 cup water
Preparation:
Finely mince the garlic and half of one of the onions. Heat the cooking oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and onions and brown. Add the beef and salt and saut until beef is thoroughly browned. Add tomato sauce and enough water to cover the beef. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer covered, until meat is tender - a half an hour longer (longer for short ribs).
Meanwhile, cut the remaining onions into wedges (six to an onion). Add the potatoes to the pot and again bring to a boil. Replace the lid and simmer another half hour. Add carrots and cook 15 minutes; add the onions; simmer another 15 minutes.
Mix the thickener ingredients (flour, sugar, soy sauce and water) in a small bowl. Make sure to get all the lumps out. Bring the stew back up to a boil. Add thickener, stirring constantly until well combined. Simmer another 10 minutes. Serve on plates over steaming hot white rice.

Sweet and sour chicken with pineapple and red onion tonight.
Ingredients:
¾ pound boneless, skinless, chicken breast, cut into uniform pieces
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into thin strips
1 20-ounce can pineapple tidbits or 2 cups fresh pineapple cut into wedges (I used canned pineapple)
3 medium scallions, green parts cut into ¼-inch lengths and white parts minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (I omitted this since I didn't have on hand and it still tasted great)
1 recipe sweet and sour stir-fry sauce (see below)
Sweet and Sour Stir Fry Sauce:
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ tablespoons tomato sauce
1 ½ tablespoon pineapple or orange juice (I reserved the pineapple juice from the can of tidbits before I drained it completely)
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions:
1.Toss the chicken with the soy sauce and vinegar in a medium bowl; set aside for 15 minutes, tossing once or twice.
2.Heat a 12- or 14-inch skillet over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes (the pan should be so hot you can hold an outstretched hand 1 inch over the pan for only 3 seconds)..
Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl it so the oil evenly coats the bottom of the pan..
Heat the oil until it just starts to shimmer and smoke..
Check the heat with your hand as before.
3.Drain the chicken and add it to the pan..
Stir-fry until seared and about three-quarters cooked, 2 ½ to 3 minutes..
Scrape the cooked chicken and all of the liquid into a bowl then cover and keep warm.
4.Let the pan come back up to temperature, 1 to 2 minutes..
When it is hot, drizzle in 2 teaspoons oil..
When the oil just starts to smoke, add the onions and stir-fry until just tender-crisp, 1 to 2 minutes..
Add the pineapple and cook 1 minute..
Add the scallion greens and cook 15 to 30 seconds.
5.Clear the center of the pan and add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger..
Drizzle with ½ teaspoon oil..
Mash into the pan with the back of a spatula..
Cook until fragrant but not colored, about 10 seconds..
Remove the pan from heat and stir the scallions, garlic, and ginger into the vegetables for 20 seconds.
6.Return the pan to the heat and add the cooked chicken..
Stir in the sauce and stir-fry until the ingredients are well coated with sauce and sizzling hot, about 1 minute..
Serve immediately with rice.
7.For the Sweet and Sour Stir Fry Sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Because we like things a little more saucy in our family, I one-and-a-halved this recipe to give a little bit more sauce to the stir-fry.

Vegetarian pot stickers tonight.
Ingredients:
•2 tbsp olive oil
•1 block tofu, well pressed, and crumbled
•1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, diced small
•1/2 cup Napa cabbage, diced small
•1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger
•2 cloves garlic, minced
•3 scallions, diced
•2 tbsp soy sauce
•1 tsp sesame oil
•dash red pepper flakes (optional)
•2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
•wonton or gyoza wrappers
Directions:
Sautee the crumbled tofu, mushrooms and cabbage in olive oil along with ginger and garlic for a few minutes..
When the tofu and mushrooms are almost done cooking, add the scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil and red pepper flakes, stirring well to combine..
Allow to cook for one or two more minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly..
Stir in the fresh cilantro.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the tofu and mushroom mixture into each wonton wrapper or gyoza wrapper..
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, then fold in half and press to seal..
Make a couple of pinches or folds to create a fan-like shape..
This will help to seal the filling inside the dumpling..
It may take a couple of tries to get the technique just right, but once you do, it's really quite easy!
Heat a couple of inches of water in a large pan, and place a vegetable steamer inside..
Place the potstickers, a few at a time, on the steamer, cover, and steam your vegetarian potstickers for 2 - 3 minutes on each side..
Potstickers are done steaming when they are soft and pliable.

So much can be done with turkey. You are a good cook, you work and you are super cute. White women are jealous of you.

Monday's are vegetarian for our family..
I made mock crab claws.
Ingredients:
•300 grams (1 1/3 cups) potatoes
•38 grams (2 2/3 tablespoons) walnut
•2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
•38 grams (2 2/3 tablespoons) tang flour (wheat starch, available at Asian markets)
•1/2 carrot
•Batter
•75 grams flour (5 1/4 tablespoons)
•15 grams (1 tablespoon) glutinous rice flour
•3/4 teaspoon baking powder
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•110 ml (3 3/4 ounces, just under 1/2 cup) water
•1 1/2 tablespoons oil
•Seasoning
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1 teaspoon sugar
•1 1/2 tablespoons oil
•Oil for deep-frying
Preparation:
Boil the potatoes until they are tender and mash.
Boil the walnuts in boiling salted water for 5 minutes and drain..
Pour cold water over the walnuts and boil again in salted water for 5 minutes then drain and allow to cool. (This is to remove the bitter taste from the walnuts).
Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying..
When oil is ready, add the walnuts and deep-fry until they turn golden..
Remove and cool..Dice.
Toast the sesame seeds.
Rinse the carrot, peel and cut into thick strips.
In a large bowl, mix together the batter ingredients.
Mix together the first five ingredients into a type of dough..
Mix in the seasonings..
Divide the dough into 10 - 12 sections..
Form each portion into the shape of a crab's claw.
Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying..
When oil is ready, dip each "claw" into the batter and then deep-fry until it turns a golden color..
Serve hot with Worcestershire sauce or seasoned salt.

But, the ones I could accommodate would have lots of food to take home with them.

We had Chinese style pork shoulder in the slow cooker tonight..
Rub the pork all over with the five-spice powder and salt. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the scallions, garlic, ginger, the mushrooms, and the meat, turning it a few times to coat. Cover the cooker, set it on HIGH, and cook for 4 hours. Set the cooker on LOW and cook until the meat is very tender, at least another 2 hours (6 hours total).
Transfer the pork to a platter, cover lightly, and let rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pour the cooking liquid into a measuring cup and skim off and discard the vegetables and fat that rise to the surface. Slice the meat and serve warm or at room temperature with noodles and the sauce on the side.

Tonight is crispy Chinese pork belly in the slow cooker
Ingredients:
1kg (approx) bone-in pork belly with the skin scored (you can use boned instead if you prefer)
1 onion cut into large slices
2 carrots peeled and cut into 2 or 3 pieces
2 sticks of celery cut into 2 or 3 large pieces
100/200ml cold water depending on method
Marinade:
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp chinese 5 spice powder
3 cloves garlic, finely minced/grated
thumb sized piece fresh, peeled ginger minced/grated
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 stick lemongrass
2 dried red chillies, finely chopped
Directions:
Marinade:
1. Make sure the meat is completely dry and pat away any excess moisture with kitchen paper.
2. Mix together the marinade ingredients then spread evenly over the flesh side of the pork belly, working it into the meat.
3. Place the meat into a sealable plastic food bag. Bruise the lemon grass with the back of a knife or rolling pin then add to the bag with the meat.
4. Put the pork belly in the fridge making sure it is safely away from cooked food and that no juices will drip from the meat then leave for at least a couple of hours or overnight to allow the flavours to develop.
Slow cooking:
Put the onion, carrots and celery in the bottom of the slow cooker put the pork belly, skin side up, on top of the veg and pour in 100mls of water.
2. Put the lid on the slow cooker then cook the pork belly for around 6-8 hours on medium. You may need to adjust the cooking times depending on your slow cooker model.
Making the pork belly crispy:
1. Once the meat has cooked using your chosen method you can either continue with the whole piece of belly and cut to serve later or cut into portions now. If you decide to portion it before crisping make sure you allow it to cool enough so that you can handle it. As you can see from the pictures I decided to keep the piece whole. I enjoy cutting through the crispy crackling when I serve it.
2. Preheat the oven to 200C then transfer pork to a roasting pan then put in the oven to finish off for about 30 minutes or until you've got a nice crispy crackling top.
3. Serve with stir-fried broccoli, pak choi or similar and some steamed rice. I served mine with broccoli and carrots stirfried with garlic, ginger and chilli and some oyster sauce.

It "rarely works out" here as well. So I guess things are pretty much the same all over.

I was married once to a Korean, but no marriage again for me. I'm having too much fun for that kind of misery.

So do us all a favor and be a good little man, run along and go jerk off to some Asian internet porn and let the adults carry on the rest of the convo, will ya.
i met a million guys like BWD in asia.....start out teaching english in some second class school ....expat bars on the weekend full of easy to pick up cute girls.....seems like heaven......end up marrying a bar girl...rarely ever works out........happens tens of thousands of times....worst is poor countries like Thailand and the Phillipines....most modern asian democracies are through that stage and that situation is getting rarer......Vietnam is is just starting to develop so little harder to tell...although the nightclubs still offer whatever money can buy...BWD will end up with a chubby phillipine wife or dead in a ditch somewhere.... I haven't taught English since I was in South Korea. I am an entrepreneur. I don't spend my meagre earnings in cat houses. Don't need to. I get the cream of the crop. I was married once to a Korean, but no marriage again for me. I'm having too much fun for that kind of misery. What, pump and dump? You're not a real entrepreneur; you're a low-life scammer.

I know a few guys that have married "Bar girls" here in the US; you know the exotic entertainer kind.
It "rarely works out" here as well. So I guess things are pretty much the same all over. Do you mean they met them in Asia or do you mean American strippers?
America, Shen. Strippers and girls looking for a meal ticket (white, Asian, brown or black) are all the same. The guys that fall for them are all the same as well; stupid, needy, narcissistic and reality deprived.

Mondays are always meatless in our house, but Blurt suggested a recipe for my pan fried chicken.
Ingredients:
250 ml of flour
250 ml of seasoned bread crumbs
5 tbs of Kellogg's Corn Flake crumbs
1 tbs of garlic powder
1 tbs of onion powder
1 tbs of paprika
1 tbs of cayenne pepper
1 tbs of ground ginger
2 kgs of chicken thighs
2 eggs
250 ml of 1% milk
500 ml of olive oil
1 large frying pan with a lid
Directions:
1. Combine milk and eggs in bowl and beat them together..
2. Combine flour, bread crumbs and seasonings in a separate bowl and sift together..
3. Pour 250 ml of olive oil in the frying pan and heat at medium heat..
4. Dip chicken in milk and egg mixture, dip in the batter mixture and then into the frying pan..
5. Turn several times, so the chicken is evenly cooked and keep the lid on..
6. Cut one piece to the bone to ensure the chicken is cooked all the way through..
7. Once the first batch of chicken is cooked, change the oil because burnt clumps will form on the bottom of the pan and repeat the process..
8. Place the fried chicken on plate with paper towels underneath to catch excess oil before serving.

Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water to soften..
Reserve 1/4 cup of the soaking liquid, straining it if necessary to remove any grit..

Add the marinade ingredients to the ground pork, adding the cornstarch last..
Marinate the pork for 15 minutes..
If using the chili pepper, cut in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and chop coarsely..
Finely chop the ginger and cut the green onion on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces..
Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat..
Add 2 tablespoons oil to the heated wok..
Add the marinated pork and stir-fry until the pork has changed color and is nearly cooked through..

Tonight we had Taiwanese beef and seafood hot pot soup.
Broth:
•2 quarts beef broth
Proteins:
•beef, sliced thin
•shrimp
•various forms of tofu (extra firm, already fried,
or pressed into interesting shapes)
•dumplings (for boiling)
Vegetables:
•cabbage, cored and quartered
•straw mushrooms or shiitake mushroom caps
•corn on the cob, sliced in pieces about 1-inch thick
•carrots, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
•daikon radish, cut into small cubes
•baby bok choy
Dipping sauce:
•Soy sauce
•Sesame oil
•Black vinegar
•Green onions, sliced
•Cilantro, chopped
•Garlic, minced
•Hot peppers, minced
•Rice vinegar
•Shacha sauce
Carbohydrate
•Serve with bowls of steamed short grain white or brown rice.
•You may also want to add uncooked egg noodles or rice cakes to the broth at the end.
Directions:
Plate your meat and vegetables and lay them out on the table..
Lay out the dipping sauce ingredients wherever you have room..
Heat the broth until it's boiling, either on the stove or in an electric hot pot..
Make your own dipping sauce..
When the soup is simmering in the middle of the table and all your guests are seated with their bowls of did-it-themselves dipping sauce, start adding the raw ingredients into the pot with your chopsticks or wire mesh skimmers.
•First add the corn, carrots, and other ingredients that will take a long time to cook. Corn and carrots also add a sweetness to the broth that will make for a more richly flavored soup at the end.
•Don't add too many raw items all at once or hot pot will get cold and will take a long time to cook.
•Leafy greens will cook very quickly; don't leave them in too long.
•You can tell the shrimp is done when they turn pink all over and they're no longer translucent. They don't take very long to cook.
•The meat should be sliced so thinly that it doesn't take more than a minute to cook..
Cook it to your desired level of doneness, but it's generally not a good idea to just let it sit and boil for very long as it will get tough..
Cooking some meat in the beginning will add more flavor to the broth.
Use your chopsticks or the wire skimmers to retrieve pieces of food as they are done cooking..
Add more broth to the pot as needed..
•Keep some broth warm on the stove so it doesn't cool down the hot pot on the table when you add more.
When everyone's had their fill of the meat and vegetables, add the uncooked noodles or rice cakes to the remaining broth..
You can ladle out a bowlful of soup to drink, or serve themselves the noodles or rice cakes when they are finished for a decisive end to a long meal.

Today I made Chinese slow cooked pork shoulder with egg noodles.
Rub the pork all over with the five-spice powder and salt and add the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper to the slow cooker..
Stir to dissolve the sugar and add the scallions, garlic, ginger, the mushrooms, if using, and the meat, turning it a few times to coat..
Cover the cooker, set it on high, and cook for 4 hours..
Set the cooker on LOW and cook until the meat is very tender, at least another 2 hours (6 hours total).
Transfer the pork to a platter, cover lightly, and let rest 15 minutes..
Meanwhile, pour the cooking liquid into a measuring cup and skim off and discard the vegetables and fat that rise to the surface..
Slice the meat and serve warm or at room temperature with noodles and the sauce on the side.

Tonight I made Chinese crispy orange beef.
Ingredients:
2 lbs sirloin steak
3 tbsp soy sauce
6 tbsp cornstarch
1 softball sized navel orange
3 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp brandy or red wine
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1.5 tsp sesame oil
1 jalapeño, inner seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 scallions, chopped (for garnish)
vegetable oil, for frying
recommended side dish: rice
Directions:
1.Cut the beef into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick..
Toss the beef with 1 tbsp of soy sauce..
Next, sprinkle the beef evenly with the cornstarch and mix well..
Evenly spread the beef out on a wire rack set atop a sheet pan, and place the beef in the freezer for 45 minutes..
This will help our beef get crispy later on, because the freezer dries the surface moisture on the meat.
2.Use a vegetable peeler to peel off about 10 zest strips from the orange, taking care not to get any of the bitter white pithy part..
Only peel off the orange colored part..
Thinly slice the orange peels into long strips..
Cut the orange in half and juice it, measuring out 1/4 cup of juice and placing it in a bowl and add the other 2 tbsp of soy sauce, molasses, brandy or red wine, rice vinegar and sesame oil to the orange juice and whisk to combine..
Set the liquid aside.
3.Heat up a deep fryer to 375 degrees F and set up a sheet pan lined with paper towels..
Once the fryer has reached the proper temperature, fry about 1/4 to 1/3 of the beef at a time, for about 3 minutes, making sure to stir gently so the beef doesn't stick together..
After 3 minutes the beef will be golden brown and crispy, and you can remove it to the paper towels to drain..
Cook the remainder of the beef.
4.Heat up a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and add the orange strips and jalapeño and sauté for 2 minutes..
Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, and stir for 30 seconds (no longer, or the garlic will burn). Add the soy sauce mixture to the pan, then add all of the beef..
Stir to coat in the sauce..
Garnish with the chopped scallions and serve with rice or desired side dish.

I bought some elk meat at the farmer's market today, so I thought I would try an elk stir fry tonight..
This is a recipe I found for elk..
I have cooked elk before and my husband has grilled it..
6 green onions, split and cut into short strips (prepare in advance to cooking)
For the Marinade combine the following in a medium sized bowl:
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry
2 tsp sesame seed oil
2 cloves, minced garlic
1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
For the Sauce whisk the following together in a separate small bowl:
1 1/2 tbsp rice wine, or dry sherry
2 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp sesame seed oil
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp vinegar
Directions:
Raw steak are sliced thinly most easily when it is par-thawed, or just ever so slightly frozen.
Add steak slices to marinade. Toss well to coat.
Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
To cook, first blend corn starch and water together in a small bowl and set aside.
Put the canola oil in a wok or frying pan and place over high heat. Just as the oil begins to smoke, add elk steak slices and marinade.
Stir constantly until meat is completely brown, usually 1 or 2 minutes.
Immediately add the sauce and half of the corn starch water blend.
Continue stirring and cooking over high heat until just slightly thickened. This will take less than a minute.
If additional thickening is required add the remaining corn starch water blend and continue to cook for about another minute.
Remove from heat.
Sprinkle in green onions, toss to combine. Serve immediately with rice.

It is a darker red meat than beef, but with the marinating, it was difficult to tell the difference between the two.

I made Southeast Asian elk salad tonight..
I found this recipe for it and it was delicious.
Ingredients:
•1.5lb elk sirloin (round steak or medallions)
•pepper (to taste)
•1 tablespoon soy sauce
•1 tablespoon chopped scallions (or chives)
•2 limes (zest of one, juice of both)
•1 clove garlic
•1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce
•½ teaspoon sugar
•2 crushed red pepper
•1 bunch asparagus
•1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil, or a good squirt of pan spray)
•4 cups spring mix (or frisee or a combo)
•4 cups red leaf lettuce
•2 tablespoons mint (chopped)
•2 tablespoons sesame oil (or canola oil)
Directions:
Step 1
Rub steak with soy sauce and pepper.
Put on a baking sheet and broil in the top 1/3 of the oven for about 14-16 minutes (for medium-ish rare, depending on how thick your cuts are – adjust to your taste).
You can turn, but I forgot and everything was still OK.
Remove to a cutting board and let repose (aka – hang out and cool) for five minutes or so.
Step 2
While the steaks are cooking, combine green onions, lime zest, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, garlic and crushed red pepper in a Tupperware.
Step 3
Slice the steak into thin strips and then further cut into bite sized pieces if desired.
Throw them in the marinade, put the lid on the tupperware and give it a good couple of turns.
Refrigerate overnight (you can also prep all this in the morning for an evening meal).
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium high heat with the oil or pan spray.
Lightly sauté the asparagus just until they turn bright green but still have a little crunch. Remove and let cool.
If you're including rice noodle, cook according to package directions and drain and rinse with cold water.
This should take all of 2 minutes after the water boils.
Set aside.
Step 5
Place rice noodles (if using), lettuces, cooled asparagus, and chopped mint on a plate.
Add the steak along with some of the marinade and drizzle with sesame oil.

I didn't make this tonight, but my children were asking me when the next time we will have this treat..
This is Taiwanese crispy salty peppery chicken.
Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken thighs, diced into 1 inch pieces
1 egg yolk
1 cup sweet potato starch
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 cup soy sauce (reduce this to 1 tablespoon, see note)
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoons 5 spice powder
1 teaspoon white pepper
frying oil
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix minced garlic, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of 5 spice powder, and white pepper..
Marinate the chicken overnight..
The next day, add the egg yolk and corn starch into the marinated chicken and mix it well..
In a bowl, mix the sweet potato starch, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of 5 spice powder, and garlic powder..
This is the coating for the fried chicken..
Coat each piece of chicken completely with the mix..
Let it sit for about 5 mins before frying so that the sweet potato starch has time to stick onto the chicken..
Heat a pot of frying oil over medium heat to 350˚F then fry the chicken in batches until golden brown..
Remove from the oil and drain on a cooling rack..
Turn the heat to high so the oil reaches 375˚F..
Fry the chicken pieces for a second time in the oil for about 10 seconds to make it extra crispy..
Toss in any herbs you are deep frying.
Drain the chicken on a cooling rack and serve hot.

Tonight we had Taiwanese beef shank..
It is one of my husband's favourites although it does require much preparation..
This is one of the better recipes I have seen for it.
Ingredients:
1.5 kg beef shank
800g beef tendon
1/2 cup of good dark soya sauce
1 cup of chinese yellow wine
2 fresh red chillies
1 thumb-length knob of old ginger
2 bulbs of garlic
4-5 candied honey dates or 3 tbsp crushed rock sugar
water
1 sachet of braising spice mix
OR
2 star anise
1 tsp blackpepper corn
1 tsp fennel seeds
2 sticks of cassia bark aka chinese cinnamon
Directions:
1. Trim off as much excess fat and oil from the exterior of beef shank and tendon.
2. Boil a pot of water and blanch beef shank for 2-3 min. Repeat the process for beef tendon.
3. Cut the beef shank into very large chunks. DO NOT CUT THE BEEF TENDON!
4. To a large braising pot, add all the ingredients. Pour sufficient water to barely cover all the ingredients.
5. Turn up flame to bring everything to a rolling boil. Reduce to medium low heat and simmer for at least 1h 30 min.
6. Turn off flame and let the pot contents sit overnight with lid on.
7. Turn on flame again to bring everything to a rolling boil. Reduce to medium low heat and simmer for another 30 min. Check the texture of the beef shank and tendon. It should be very soft by now. If not continue to braise for another 30 min or so.
8. For best results, let the beef shank and tendon sit and steep for overnight for one more day. Best enjoyed on the 3rd day.

I found this recipe for spicy Korean style pork medallions with Asian slaw..
I made it yesterday and it turned out very good.
ac_smile
Ingredients:
1 large or 2 small pork tenderloins (about 1-1/4 lb.)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 Tbs. light brown sugar
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
1 Tbs. Asian sesame oil
1 Tbs. Asian chile sauce (like Sriracha)
1 lb. napa cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1 cup grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
4 scallions (both white and green parts), trimmed and thinly sliced
5 Tbs. canola or peanut oil
Kosher salt
Directions:
Trim the pork of any silverskin and excess fat, and cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick medallions.
In a small measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, 2 Tbs. of the rice vinegar, 2 Tbs. of the brown sugar, the garlic, ginger, 1/2 Tbs. of the sesame oil, and 2 tsp. of the chile sauce. Toss 1/2 cup of this mixture with the pork medallions in a large bowl; reserve the remaining mixture to use as a sauce. Let the pork sit at room temperature for 25 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in another large bowl, toss the cabbage and the carrot with half of the scallions, 1 Tbs. of the canola oil, 1 tsp. salt, and the remaining 2 Tbs. rice vinegar, 1 Tbs. brown sugar, 1/2 Tbs. sesame oil, and 1 tsp. chile sauce. Let sit for 15 minutes, toss again, and transfer to a large serving platter.
Heat 2 Tbs. of the canola oil in a 12-inch, heavy-based skillet over mediumhigh heat until shimmering hot. Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and transfer the pork to a clean plate. Discard the marinade. Add half of the pork medallions to the skillet, spacing them evenly. Cook them without touching until well browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the pork is just cooked through (slice into a piece to check), about 2 more minutes. Set the pork on top of the slaw. Pour out the oil and wipe the pan with paper towels (if the drippings on the bottom of the pan look like they may burn, wash the pan). Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 Tbs. canola oil, and cook the remaining medallions in the same manner. Top the slaw with the remaining pork, and pour the reserved soy-ginger sauce over the medallions. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining scallions

Tonight is beef with cauliflower and mushroom stirfry.
Slice meat with grain into 2 inch strips. Cut strips across grain into 1/8 inch slices. In a bowl, combine sliced beef with vegetable oil, cornstarch, salt, sugar, soy sauce and pepper. Stir to blend. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. (You may also wish to adjust the seasoning to your liking. By smelling the aroma of the marinated meat you'll know if it is well seasoned or not).
SEPARATE cauliflower into flowerets. Place flowerets in boiling water. Cook for a minute or two. Using a strainer, remove cauliflower and immediately rinse under running cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
IN ANOTHER bowl, mix broth or water with cornstarch and oyster sauce. Stir to blend. Set aside.
HEAT oil in a skillet (or a wok) over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the beef for about 3 to 5 minutes or until meat is brown. Add garlic and onion, sauté until it softens. Stir in mushrooms and cauliflower. Cook for a few minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture. Continue stirring until sauce thickens for about a few seconds. Correct the seasoning, to taste. Remove from heat. Serve hot the beef with mushroom and cauliflower and garnish with fresh coriander.

I say "no", to me, the word "Asian", describes a type of food, similarly as, Chinese, or German,French or American, etc indicates a type of food.
If I want Spanish type food, I would look for a "Spanish type restaurant", not German, French or Canadian.
Hope that helps.

I like hot spices, that you can actually taste, not the stuff that is just full of cyan pepper.
I started out with East Indian food, and there are so many different ways of doing the same thing, and the different regions, all have different flavours.
Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai Vietnamese, Russian and German foods are all great. I like it all, simply because it tastes Oh, so good.
I like to do different Nationalities, this way, I don't get tired of doing the same thing over and over.
I am not a food critic by any means. I just enjoy, and appreciate good food preparation and taste.

This is not exactly how I make xiao long bao RW, but you can tailor it to your own tastes.
Ingredients:
4 oz. pork skin, rinsed and finely diced
2 scallions, trimmed and chopped
1 (3") piece ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks
8 large napa cabbage leaves, trimmed and blanched
4 tbsp. Chinese black vinegar
5 oz. pork belly, cubed
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Chinese soybean paste
1 tsp. dark soy sauce
1 tsp. Asian sesame oil
1 tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground white pepper
½ cup flour
Instructions:
1. Place pork skin, half the scallions, one-third the ginger, and 1½ cups cold water in a 4-qt. pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and continue to simmer until most of the gelatin from the pork skin has leached out and broth has reduced to ½ cup, about 1 hour. Strain broth through a sieve into a shallow bowl, discarding solids, and refrigerate until firmly gelled, 1–1½ hours. Line bottoms of 2 medium (about 9" in diameter) bamboo steamer baskets with 3 of the cabbage leaves each and set aside. Divide remaining ginger between 2 small dipping bowls. Add 2 tbsp. of the vinegar to each bowl and set sauce aside.
2. Place pork belly and remaining scallions in a bowl; mix well. Pass pork mixture through a meat grinder fitted with the fine-hole disk into a medium bowl. Add sugar, bean paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt and pepper, and mix well. Finely dice pork jelly and stir into ground pork mixture. Cover and set filling aside in the freezer to set.
3. Put flour into a medium bowl, add 5 tbsp. warm water, and stir until a dough begins to form. Press dough together into a rough ball, transfer to a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth, 8–10 minutes. Shape dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to let rest for 30 minutes. Roll dough into a 6"-long rope on a lightly floured surface with your hands, cut into 16 equal pieces, roll into balls, and cover with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.
4. To form the dumplings, lightly dust 1 of the dough balls with flour, then flatten into a disk. Roll out until disk is about 3" in diameter. Put 1 tbsp. of the filling on the thick center of dough. Pleat dough at ¼" intervals to encase filling. Hold dumpling in one hand, put tip of index finger of your other hand in center of pleated dough, then gently twist pleats shut, removing index finger as you twist, to completely encase filling. Repeat rolling, filling, pleating, and twisting with remaining dough to make 16 filled dumplings in all. Put 8 dumplings into each steamer basket, adding them as they are formed; cover dumplings with remaining cabbage leaves to keep them from drying out as you work.
5. Remove and discard cabbage leaves from tops of dumplings (not the leaves lining the baskets), stack baskets, and put lid on top basket. Steam dumplings over a wok of boiling water over high heat until pork is cooked through and jelly has melted into soup, 8–10 minutes. Serve dumplings immediately, with dipping sauce on the side.

I made Chinese beef with turnips tonight.
Ingredients:
•2 lbs beef brisket, rinsed, pat dry and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
•1 tablespoon oil
•5 slices ginger
•1 cup shaoxing wine
•2 1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
•3 star anise
•6-8 cloves
•1 teaspoon sugar
•5 cups water
•1 large turnip, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
Directions:
Prep your beef. Heat cooking oil and ginger in a wok over high heat. Add the beef and lightly brown all sides. Then add the shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, anise, cloves, sugar and 3 cups of the water and save last 2 cups for later. Simmer over very low heat for about 75 – 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking or burning.
After that, the sauce should be almost dry. This is a good time to skim out any excess fat. Then add the turnips and the last 2 cups of water. Allow the stew to simmer for another 30 – 40 minutes, until the turnip is soft and tender. Serve hot over rice.

Today I made Korean barbeque short ribs also know as galbi.
Ingredients:
5 pounds Korean style beef short ribs*
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup mirin ( rice wine)
1 small onion, peeled and finely grated
1 small Asian pear, peeled and finely grated
4 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Directions:
Sprinkle brown sugar over beef and mix well to evenly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing marinade. In a bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Transfer beef into a large sealable freezer bag (you may need 2). Add marinade, press out excess air from bags, and seal. Turn bag over several times to ensure beef is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot. Drain excess marinade off beef. Grill short ribs, turning once, to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve whole pieces as a main course or cut into smaller pieces, using scissors.

My favorite dish, I often make for myself, is nabe [nah'-beh]: Japanese for soup or stew. It's so easy and versatile. I don't really have a recipe; I just throw things together. So feel free to experiment with this; changing it according to your tastes or the volume you need.
First I start the rice. The Japanese prefer the white short-grained variety. If you don't have a rice cooker, cook it a double-boiler system for 20 minutes. Or if you prefer, prepare noodles (ramen, soba, udon, etc.). That's good too.
In a large pan, I sauté garlic, onions, & bell pepper in olive oil over medium heat. Other vegetables can be added; such as broccoli, mushrooms, bamboo shoot, mung bean sprouts, cabbage, green bean, zucchini, or whatever else you enjoy. Then I add diced raw chicken, beef, or pork. You vegetarians can leave this part out. If you prefer seafood, such as shrimp or scallops, add these during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Next, I add a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and soy sauce; usually 1 tbs each, but you can increase these if cooking for more than 2 people. After stirring this thoroughly, I cover the pan and let simmer on low for 20 minutes.
(Inspired by a lot of Chinese cooking, I've been adding dried chiles; the small red ones. [Some call them chile Japones or chile de arbol. Other just say dried chilies.] I find them in many import shops. Very few of the supermarket chains carry them. I usually add four larges ones or six small ones to the recipe above, when adding the garlic. When eating, take teeny bites of these along with a large mouthful of meat and rice. These are very hot. If you're not use to very hot spices, I wouldn't recommend these for you.)
In a bowl, I scoop a helping of rice or noodle, then spoon the nabe over it. Sake or green tea go well with it.

We had barbequed Chinese beef skewers tonight for supper.
Skewers, if using (if they are wooden, soak for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning)
Directions:
1.In a small bowl, mix together hoisin sauce, sherry, soy sauce, honey, green onions, garlic, and ginger.
2.For skewers, cut flank steak across the grain on a diagonal into 1/4 inch slices. Freezing the steak for 15-20 minutes will make it much easier to slice. Set a timer if you think you may forget to retrieve it before it freezes completely.
3.Place slices in a 1 gallon, resealable plastic bag. Pour hoisin sauce mixture over slices, and mix well. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Conversely, you may marinate the whole flank steak.
4.Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Discard marinade and, if cooking on skewers, thread the sliced steak on the soaked skewers. If cooking whole, allow the steak to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to grilling.
5.Over high heat, grill skewers 2 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.
6.For the whole steak, grill for approximately 6-8 minutes per side for medium rare. This will depend a bit on the thickness of the steaks. (Our last steak was about 1-inch thick and took the higher end of this range.) Flank steak will be more tender if cooked to medium rare. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute. Then, slice thinly across the grain.

Tonight we will have sweet-soy barbeque beef short ribs.
Ingredients:
•1 cup sugar
•3/4 cup Chinese oyster sauce
•1/2 cup soy sauce
•1/2 cup sake (Japanese rice wine), Chinese rice wine, or dry sherry
•3 cloves garlic, minced
•1 piece (1 inch) peeled fresh ginger, minced

Directions:
1. Place the sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sake, garlic, ginger, and scallion whites in a large, nonreactive mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Stir in the short ribs. Cover the bowl and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
2. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high; use the Mississippi test* to check the heat.
3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the short ribs on the grate and grill until sizzling and darkly browned on the outside and cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium.
4. Transfer the ribs to a platter or plates, sprinkle the scallion greens on top, and serve.
*When the fire is burning on high, you will be able to count to only two or three Mississippis before the intense heat forces you to snatch your hand away.

Tonight we will barbeque yummy grilled Chinese chicken kabobs.
Mix together the first seven ingredients and place in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Place chicken pieces in the bag and mix until all the chicken is completely coated. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours (I recommend more like 6-8 hours).
Remove chicken from fridge and thread chicken on skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning). Discard marinade.
Place kabobs on a grill over medium-high heat. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and has an internal temperature of 165 degrees (about 10 minutes, turning chicken once).
Top with sliced green onions and serve with Grilled Caramelized Pineapple.

Tonight we will have Chinese beef barbeque stir fry.
ac_smile
Ingredients:
1 (1 1/2-pound) beef chuck steak, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 carrots, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
2 stalks celery, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced
8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger root
1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic

1 (16-ounce) package lo mein noodles, cooked according to package directions
Hoisin Sauce:
1/4 soy sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon chopped ginger
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Stir-Fry: In a wok or large skillet over high heat add the canola oil. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
To the same pan the beef was cooked in, add the carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, ginger, garlic, and broccoli and stir-fry until slightly tender but not soft, about 3 minutes. Remove half the vegetables and reserve for the online round 2 recipe: Cold Noodle Salad. Add the beef back to the skillet along with half of the hoisin sauce, and toss to coat the beef. Reserve half of the lo mein noodles for the round 2 recipe: Cold Noodle Salad. Arrange the remaining half of the lo mein noodles on a serving platter and top with the beef stir-fry.
Hoisin Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk all the sauce ingredients until well blended. Add half to the stir-fry and save the remaining half for the next time you make a stir-fry. The extra hoisin sauce will last up to 2 weeks in a sealed container stored in the refrigerator.

Chinese barbeque pork roast.
Ingredients:
3 pounds pork shoulder/pork butt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon five spice powder
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon sherry or Chinese plum wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons molasses
1 tablespoon oil
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon hot water
Cut the pork into long strips about 3 inches thick. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl to make the BBQ sauce. Reserve about 2 tablespoons and pour the rest into a large zip top bag along with the pork. Make sure the pork is coated with the sauce, squeeze the air out of the bag, and seal it. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Store the reserved sauce for later as well.
Place the pork on metal racks, leaving as much space as possible between pieces, and put the pan in the upper portion of the oven. Pour the rest of the marinade from the bag into a bowl for basting.
After 25 minutes or so, flip the pork and baste with some of the marinating liquid. If needed, add a half cup of water to the bottom of the sheet pan to prevent burning or smoking from the drippings. After another 25-30 minutes, turn on the broiler to crisp the outside and add some color/flavor. Be sure not to walk away during this process, since the sweet BBQ sauce can burn if left unattended.
Take out of the oven and use a clean basting brush to brush the roasted pork with those last couple tablespoons of reserved BBQ sauce. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes and enjoy!

I made something similar but not very at all tonight.
There were defrosted chicken skewers with soy and lime ready in the fridge, but dinner guests (read-teenage children) didn't materialize.
Surprise, surprise, surprise on a Saturday night! :laugh:
Instead of breaking out two dozen skewers, I chose to use some green beans cooked, then infused in a tinned cream of celery soup with added onion, garlic, and sweet paprika plus a couple of a leftover chicken sausages slice thinly with a big garden salad on the side.
Fash's looks and probably tastes better. I however fed four and preserved a main course for tomorrow night (teenagers always return on Sunday nights, like Vampires who suddenly remember where their coffins are). ac_biggrin

My husband helps with these things, but it's not his territory and same with me when it comes to being the bread winner. I help....but it's not my territory lol. People have a strong delusion that to be valid as a person, we have to BE ALL. That's not how we are wired. And the pharmaceutical company profits off the depression and anxiety. Everyone us medicated. You don't have to be female to do this, no. But if you were married raising a family, you have to respect each others boundaries and allow for certain roles. Same with parenting. Men can't breastfeed.

Yes, I understand this discussion. Both people, however the relationship is put together, need to work together. It is not that "I did this, and you can't." It is about the two people doing what they are "good, or can do, are best at," in the relationship, however formed.
In any relationship, once "one person" thinks that they are the only supporting person, the relationship begins to fail.
I urge everyone in a relationship, to work together. Yes, at this time, men can't get pregnant, and some can't cook, but they contribute the union in other ways.

Here's an idea for leftover turkey; turkey chow mein.

•1/2 red onion, peeled and chopped
•1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped, optional
•1 cup mung bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
•Sauce:
•1/2 cup packaged chicken broth, low-sodium preferred
•1 tablespoon oyster sauce
•1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
•1 tablespoon cornstarch
•2 cups packaged chow mein noodles, or to taste
•3 - 4 tablespoons oil for stir-frying, as needed
•3 cups cooked turkey
•Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Clean and prepare all the vegetables. Mix together the sauce ingredients, whisking in the cornstarch last.
Cook the noodles according to the package directions.
Heat a wok or frying pan over medium-high to high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, add the mushrooms and stir-fry for a minute. Remove from the pan, add more oil, and stir-fry the celery and red bell pepper. Remove from the pan, add more oil and stir-fry the onion and garlic.
Add the turkey into the pan. Cook for a minute, then add the other vegetables back into the pan. Stir in the bean sprouts. Add the sauce. Heat to boiling, then add the noodles. Mix everything together and serve hot.

We had moo shu pork roll ups tonight..
They are a favourite of my children.
ac_smile
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons dry sherry
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces pork tenderloin, cut against the grain in 1/4-inch slices, then cut into strips
2 teaspoons large eggs
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 teaspoons canola oil
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 cups packed, shredded green cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
Hoisin sauce
Directions:
1. Stir together the soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, sugar, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the pork, then set it aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
2. Lightly beat the eggs with the salt. Warm the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scramble the eggs until soft-cooked, about 1 minute, then transfer them to a large plate and break them into small pieces. Wipe the pan clean.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon of the canola oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the bowl, gently squeezing the strips to reserve the excess marinade. Add the pork to the pan in a single layer, let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir-fry it until it is caramelized and just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer it to the plate with the scrambled eggs.
4. Add another 2 teaspoons of the canola oil to the skillet and stir-fry the mushrooms, about 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and carrots and stir-fry until all the vegetables are just tender, about 3 minutes. Make a well in the center of the vegetables and add the remaining teaspoon of canola oil. Add roughly half the scallions, the ginger, and the garlic, and stir-fry them for 1 minute, then combine them with the other vegetables. Create a well again in the center of the mixture, add the reserved marinade, and allow it to simmer for 2 minutes. Return the pork and egg to the skillet and toss the mixture until it is heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer it to a serving bowl.
5. Warm the tortillas under a damp paper towel in the microwave, about 50 seconds. To serve, place each tortilla on a plate, smear it with a teaspoon of hoisin sauce, and add the pork mixture. Sprinkle on some of the remaining scallions, then roll up the tortilla.

We are having Chinese barbeque pork or char siu tonight.
For marinade:
1/2 teaspoonChinese five spice powder
2 tablespoons maltose (or honey)
2 tablespoons Shaoxing cooking wine (or sherry)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon Thai chili sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon Kiwi, pureed
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
2 cloves garlic, grated
Directions:
Mix the ingredients for the marinade together in a Ziploc bag. The maltose is a little tough to incorporate but it's okay if there are some lumps as these will eventually dissolve, just make sure there are no big clumps. If your pork belly has skin, use a sharp knife to remove it. Add the pork belly to the marinade and push out as much air as possible so the meat is completely surrounded by marinade.
Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 days, flipping the bag over every to ensure it's evenly marinated. To roast your char siu, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F and move the rack to the upper middle position. Set an elevated wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and lay the marinated pork belly on the rack, saving the marinade for later. Put the pan in the oven and let it roast for 1 hour or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Remove the pan from the oven, then move the oven rack to the top position and turn the heat up to "broil".Baste the pork with the reserved marinade, then broil it until dark and glossy with the edges just slightly charred. Flip the meat over and baste again, allowing the second side to color and char as well.
Slice your finished char siu and serve with rice or noodles.

Chinese tangerine beef
Ingredients:
•1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
•2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
•1 tablespoon, plus 1/4 cup cornstarch
•2 fresh tangerines or mandarin oranges
•1 tablespoon sugar
•1 tablespoon hot water
•1/3 cup vegetable oil, for frying the beef
•1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
•1 small pod from a whole star anise (if need be, substitute with a pinch of five spice powder)
•5 pieces dried tangerine or mandarin orange peels
•5 dried red chili peppers (optional)
•1 clove garlic, chopped
•3 tablespoons light soy sauce
•1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
•1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
•2 scallions, cut into 1-inch slices on the diagonal
Directions:
1.Marinate the beef for 1 hour in 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and set aside. Lightly scrub the tangerines with a vegetable brush under running water to remove wax and/or pesticides and towel dry. Peel the tangerines (reserving the peels) and squeeze ⅓ cup juice from the fruit.
2.Scrape as much of the white pith from the peels as you can, until you see just the skin, and julienne the peels into thin slivers. Set aside along with the juice. Then make a simple syrup by dissolving 1 tablespoon of sugar into 1 tablespoon of hot water.
3.Heat a saucepan or wok over low heat and add 1 teaspoon of oil and the tangerine peel slivers. Lightly toast the peels by tossing in the oil for about 30 seconds, and add the simple syrup. Continuing stirring the peels until the simple syrup evaporates and clings to the peels. Transfer the candied peels to a bowl along with any infused oil, and set aside.
4.Dredge the pieces of meat individually in the remaining ¼ cup of cornstarch until lightly coated, and heat ⅓ cup oil in a clean wok over high heat. Just before the oil starts to smoke, spread the flank steak pieces evenly in the wok, and let sear for 1 minute. Flip the steak over and let the other side sear for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a sheet pan, and tilt it slightly to let the oil drain to one side (lean it on a cookbook or cutting board). The beef should be seared with a nice crusty coating.
5.Drain the oil from the wok, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the ginger, star anise or five spice powder, dried tangerine peels and dried chili peppers, if using. (We have a whole star anise pictured in our photos, but the recipe calls for only one pod. After tasting the finished product, we felt that a whole star anise may have been too overwhelming for the dish.)
6.After about 15 seconds, add the garlic. Stir for another 10 seconds, and add the soy sauce, tangerine juice and brown sugar. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
7.Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes and slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry mixture–until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Add the beef, candied tangerine slivers with the infused oil, and the scallions. Toss everything for another 30 seconds until all of the beef is well-coated.
8.There should be almost no liquid, as the sauce should be clinging to the beef. If you still have too much sauce, increase the heat slightly and stir-fry until thickened. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of hot water to thin it out.

I made Chinese long beans with minced pork and ginger as part of supper tonight.
6 ounces ground pork
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 pound long beans, cut into 3-inch lengths, or green beans, halved crosswise
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine or sake
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix the pork with the soy sauce and half of the garlic and ginger.
2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the beans until just tender, 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil until shimmering. Add the pork and cook over moderately high heat, stirring and breaking up the clumps with a wooden spoon, until just cooked through, 2 minutes; transfer the pork to a plate.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil and the shallot to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the beans and rice wine, season with salt and pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Clay pot chicken with shiitake mushrooms and Chinese sausage
Ingredients:
6 dried shiitake mushrooms
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Fine salt and white pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Chinese sausage, sliced diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup white jasmine rice, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 scallions, finely chopped
Directions:
In a small bowl, soak the mushrooms in warm water until soft, about 30 minutes. Rinse the mushrooms and pat dry. Remove the stems, thinly slice the caps and set aside.
Mix the chicken, brown sugar, cornstarch, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, 1/8 salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
In a wok or large nonstick pan over high heat, add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the sausage and shiitake mushrooms, stir-fry for 30 seconds more. Transfer to a platter and set aside.
Place the rice and chicken stock in a clay pot or heavy metal pot and bring to a boil, covered, over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, allowing the rice to steam for 15 minutes.
Spread the chicken stir-fry over the rice and continue to steam, covered, over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Stir thoroughly, garnish with scallions and serve immediately.

Place the rice and chicken stock in a clay pot or heavy metal pot and bring to a boil, covered, over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, allowing the rice to steam for 15 minutes.
Spread the chicken stir-fry over the rice and continue to steam, covered, over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Stir thoroughly, garnish with scallions and serve immediately.

Different Chinese restaurants make food differently. One restaurant I know does not make exciting noodles but another makes it so scrumptious! How odd.

CANTONESE SOY SAUCE PAN-FRIED NOODLES
Ingredients
1½ cups bean sprouts
2 scallions
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ tablespoon shaoxing wine
¼ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
8 ozs fresh thin Hong Kong Style Egg Noodles (for pan-frying, not to be mistaken for "wonton noodles") or 3 small bundles of dried Hong Kong Style Egg Noodles for pan-frying
3 tablespoons oil
Instructions
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Rinse the bean sprouts in cold water and drain. Julienne the scallions. Mix the soy sauces, sesame oil, salt, sugar, wine and white pepper into a small bowl and set aside.
Boil the noodles. Fresh noodles should be boiled for about 1 minute. For dried noodles, boil for 2-3 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain very well.
Heat the wok to high and add a tablespoon of oil to coat the wok. Spread the noodles in a thin, even layer on the wok and tilt the wok in a circular motion to distribute the oil and crisp the bottom layer of the noodles evenly. It should take about 3-5 minutes for the first side.
Flip the noodles over and add another tablespoon of oil around the perimeter of the wok and let the other side crisp up. Don't stress if you can't turn the noodles over in one shot, The goal here is just to get an even, light crispiness and to dry out the noodles during this cooking stage. In our pictures for this post, we used a large non-stick pan, which also works nicely. Set aside these noodles on a plate.
Heat the wok over high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and all of the white parts of the scallion to the pan and cook for about 15 seconds. Next, add the noodles to the wok and toss them well, breaking up the noodles so they're not all in one big clump. Add the soy sauce mixture and toss continuously (don't stop!) for a couple minutes using a pair of chopsticks or a set of tongs. Keep the heat on high.
After the noodles are uniformly golden brown, add the bean sprouts and toss. Add the rest of the scallions and toss the mixture again for another 1 to 2 minutes until you see the bean sprouts just starting to turn transparent. You want the sprouts to be cooked but still crunchy. Be careful not to overcook them or they will become limp and soggy. High heat is a key requirement for this dish.

China won ton soup
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
4 cups chicken broth
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms
2 baby bok choy
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon yellow miso paste, or more, to taste
FOR THE WONTONS
8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha, optional
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
36 2-inch won ton wrappers
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine shrimp, garlic, green onions, oyster sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, Sriracha and pepper.*
To assemble the wontons, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal; set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in chicken broth, mushrooms and 2 cups water.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in bok choy and green onions. Stir in miso paste until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in wontons until cooked through, about 2 minutes.

Slow cooker Chinese pulled pork
Ingredients:
3 to 3 1/2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into very large chunks (3 to 4 inches)
2 1/2 teaspoons of Chinese 5-spice powder*
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp dry sherry or Shaoxing cooking wine
2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
2 Tbsp minced garlic
12 Hawaiian dinner rolls
1 large scallion sliced
*To make Chinese 5-spice powder, toast 1 teaspoon peppercorns in a skillet until fragrant. In a spice grinder, grind the roasted peppercorns with 2 whole star anise, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds. Stir in 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
Directions:
1 Season the pork with 5-spice powder: Rub the 5 spice powder into the pork chunks, all over, and let sit while you prepare the sauce in the next step.
2. Whisk together the sauce ingredients: Whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sherry, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl.
3. Place pork and sauce in slow cooker: Place the seasoned pork shoulder pieces in a slow cooker, cover with the sauce.
4. Slow cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low, until the meat easily pulls apart. About halfway through the cooking, turn the meat over in the pot.
5. Ladle off excess fat: Use a ladle or a large metal spoon to remove excess fat that has risen to the surface while the meat has been cooking. Don't discard it yet, you may want to add some of it back.
6. Shred the pork: Use two forks to pull apart the pork into shreds. If the pork still seems dry, add back some of the fat.
7. Serve over sweet Hawaiian dinner buns topped with sliced green onion or cilantro.

Zhaijiangmian
Ingredients:
100g noodle per serving. This recipe can serve at least 4 people. So you need at least 400g noodle. You can use dried noodles from Chinese super market.
300g pork mince or beef mince. I prefer to use pork mince that has at least 30% fat for the better taste and texture but you don't have to do this
6 pieces of extra firm tofu, finely chopped (you can find it in Chinese supermarkets, usually stored in the fridge area)
120g bean sprouts
1 carrot, julienned
1 bowl of edamame beans
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 spring onions finely chopped
1 Chili, remove seed and finely chopped
Seasonings:
½ cut water
2 teaspoons corn flour
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons chilli bean sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoon sugar
Procedure:
Heat up two tablespoons of oil in a wok and stir-fry the spring onions, chili and shallots until soft.
Keep the stove at full power and add the pork mince and stir-fry until cooked. Add extra firm tofu and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes.
Add sweet bean sauce and chili bean sauce. Stir-fry for another couple minutes and add edamame beans, water, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sugar. Mix evenly.
Mix corn flour with a couple tablespoons of cold water and add into step 4 and mix evenly. Cook for another couple minutes and the sauce should be thick and look almost dry.
Boil a big pot of water and blanch the carrot and bean sprouts. Use the same water to cook the noodles. Once the noodles are cooked, refresh in cold water and toss some oil on the noodles to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Put the noodles, carrot and bean sprouts in a bowl and put the sauce on top. Dish is now ready to serve.

It's meatless Monday again and tonight it's spicy crispy kung pao cauliflower.
For the Baked Crispy Cauliflower:
¼ cup + 1 tbsp corn starch or other starch
¼ cup + 2 tbsp bread crumbs (use gluten-free crumbs to make gf)
¼ cup + 1 tbsp or more water
½ tsp cayenne ( use a ⅓ tsp for less heat)
2 tsp soy sauce
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp roasted sesame oil
1 tsp oil
1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
For the Kung Pao sauce:
1 tsp oil
8 to 10 dried red chilies (chinese red chilies, or arbol or cayenne, or use california red for less heat)
½ tsp coarsely crushed sichuan peppercorns (or use a mix of coarsely crushed black pepper and red pepper flakes)
2 to 3 tbsp chopped cashews or peanuts
4 to 5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 inch ginger minced
2 tbsp scallions, chopped
Sauce mix:
2.5 tbsp low sodium soy sauce/tamari (use certified gluten-free sauce to make gf)
1.5 to 2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp chinese rice wine (optional)
1 tbsp sugar
¼ cup + 2 tbsp water (use ½ cup for more sauce)
1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions:
1.Chop up the cauliflower and keep aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Mix the cornstarch breadcrumbs, and the rest of the ingredients to make a batter. Let the batter sit for 10 seconds to thicken if it isn't thick. The cornstarch continues to thicken the batter, so as soon as it is a good not too watery consistency, start dipping the cauliflower in the batter, tap to drop excess and place on parchment lined baking sheet. If the batter thickens too much while working, add a tsp or more water and mix in and continue.
2.Bake for 30 minutes or longer until the florets are cooked through. Check with a toothpick/knife
3.Meanwhile make the sauce. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the red chilies and peppercorns and cook until the red chilies are fragrant, but not overly brown, or someone starts sneezing. (For more heat, break some of the chilies into half and add to the skillet.)
4.Add the nuts and mix for a few seconds. Add the ginger, garlic, reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook until the garlic is golden. 4 to 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
5.Add in the scallions, and 2 to 3 tbsp finely chopped green peppers or other veggies if using and mix in. Increase heat to medium. Cook for a minute.
6.Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl and add to the skillet. Continue to cook until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens slightly. 2 mins. Carefully taste and adjust salt, sweet and spice.
7.Arrange the baked cauliflower in a shallow bowl in one layer. When ready to serve, Drizzle the sauce over each floret. Serve.
8.To store, store the baked cauliflower and sauce separately. Heat the sauce, pour over the florets. To serve with rice/cooked grains, double the sauce mix and bring to a boil to thicken, toss in the cauliflower and serve immediately over rice.

I make the Chinese orange chicken for my family.
INGREDIENTS
For the chicken:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, patted dry and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon rice vinegar (not seasoned) or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
Thinly sliced scallion greens, for garnish
Thinly sliced fresh red chile, for garnish (optional)
Cooked rice for serving
PREPARATION
Start the chicken:
In a shallow, medium bowl toss the chicken pieces with the soy sauce and wine. Let stand while you make the sauce.
Make the orange sauce:
Using a vegetable peeler, remove 4 lengthwise strips of zest from 1 orange—each strip should be about 3/4 inch wide and 3 1/2 to 4 inches long. Arrange the zest in one layer between paper towels and microwave on high in 20-second increments until dry and brittle but not browned, 60 to 80 seconds total. Let the zest cool then finely chop it. If desired, use a Microplane to remove some of the remaining zest from the orange and reserve it for garnish. (If desired, zest the second orange for additional garnish.)
Squeeze enough juice from both oranges to measure 1/2 cup. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved.
In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper, and dried orange zest and stir-fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, wine, vinegar, and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 5 seconds. Stir the orange juice–cornstarch mixture then add it to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside while you fry the chicken.
Fry the chicken:
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365°F. Meanwhile, coat half of the chicken, a couple pieces at a time, in cornstarch, making sure they are well coated and gently knocking off any excess, then transfer to a plate. Carefully add all the coated chicken to the hot oil, spacing the pieces apart from each other. Fry the chicken, turning it once or twice, until deep golden, about 5 minutes. While frying, adjust the heat as necessary to keep the oil at 365°F. Using a metal spider or a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken as done to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Continue to coat and fry the remaining chicken in the same manner, returning the oil to 365°F between batches.
Once the chicken is fried, place the skillet of reserved orange sauce over moderately low heat and bring it to a simmer, stirring and thinning the sauce with a little water if necessary. Add the chicken, and stir until thoroughly coated in sauce.
To serve:
Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with the scallions, and, if desired, the red chile slices and the freshly grated orange zest. Serve immediately with rice.

Might give this one a shot. Looks good. When you say grill, can it be on a bar b q grill over charcoal? Bet the marinade would work on pork as well?

I roasted 2 chicken on my Weber yesterday. Stuffed then with limes and red onion. Tied all appendages up nice and tight so it all cooks evenly. Rubbed them with Cajun spice. Slow roasted them for 3 hours. They came out moist and succulent. Meat fell off the bone. I know it's not Asian style. I like to use dry rubs. Are there any Asian recipes for dry rubs? Whole chickens here tend to be smallish here. A kilo.

I made ground pork Chinese chile tonight.
Ingredients:
•2 pounds ground pork
•2 large yellow onions, small diced
•1 large green bell pepper, seeded and small diced
•4 jalapeños, seeded and minced
•1 tablespoons olive oil
•4 cloves garlic, minced
•1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
•1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns, crushed
•1 tablespoon five-spice powder
•1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
•1/4 cup hoisin sauce
•12 ounces amber colored beer
•1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
•1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
•Chinese hot chile oil
•Cilantro, minced
Directions:
To a soup pot add ground pork, onion, bell pepper jalapenos and olive oil. Cook over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and the vegetables start to soften. Add in garlic and ginger and saute for 30 more seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in crushed peppercorns, five-spice powder, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, beer and tomatoes. Stir to combine. Lower the heat and simmer for about an hour or until the soup has reached desired thickness. If it gets too thick simply thin out with a little chicken stock or water.
Taste and season with kosher salt if needed. Stir in vinegar.
Serve drizzled with hot chile oil and a sprinkling of cilantro.

Homemade Spring Rolls
Ingredients:
For the pork and marinade:
8 ounces finely shredded pork loin
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
½ teaspoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon white pepper
To assemble the filling:
2 tablespoons oil
1 clove garlic, minced
10 dried black or shiitake mushrooms, soaked until softened and thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, julienned (about 1 cup)
1 cup bamboo shoots, julienned (fresh is preferred, but canned is fine too)
1 small napa cabbage, julienned (about 6 cups)
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
white pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
For wrapping:
1 package 8" square spring roll wrappers (this recipe makes about 20 spring rolls)
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon boiling water for sealing the spring rolls
Canola, peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
For the dipping sauce:
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons hot water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions:
Mix the pork with the marinade ingredients and set aside for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Cut all of the vegetables to approximately the same size. You want everything the same size so each ingredient blends together.
Brown the pork over high heat in 2 tablespoons of oil, and add the garlic, mushrooms and carrots. Stir fry for 30 seconds, and add the bamboo shoots, napa cabbage, and Shaoxing wine. Continue stir-frying for a minute. Adjust the heat to simmer the mixture, as the napa cabbage will release a lot of moisture.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and sugar. At this time, you have the option of adding ¼ cup of the decanted water from soaking the dried mushrooms. It strengthens the mushroom flavor, so this is purely according to your personal preference. You may also have to simmer the filling longer to reduce the additional liquid.
Continue simmering the filling for another 3 minutes--until the napa cabbage is completely wilted--and stir in the corn starch slurry to thicken. How much slurry you add depends upon the wetness of the filling (this varies if your cabbage had more moisture or if you did add the optional mushroom water), but there should be no standing liquid at all.
Transfer the filling to a large shallow bowl, and let cool. Place into the refrigerator to cool further—at least one hour. It's best to start with a cold filling for easier wrapping. The key to wrapping spring rolls is making sure that they're tight, yet not overstuffed. It's best to use fresh spring roll wrappers if you can, as freezing the wrappers can result in the spring roll skin being a bit too damp.
Place the wrapper on a flat surface so that a corner is facing toward you. Use about two spoonfuls of the mixture per spring roll, and spoon it about 2 inches from the corner that is closest to you. Roll it over once, and, like you're making a burrito, fold over both sides. Continue rolling it into a cigar shape. With your fingers, brush a bit of the cornstarch water onto the corner of the wrapper that is farthest from you to seal it.
In case you're wondering, we did try egg wash instead of the cornstarch mixture to seal the spring roll but the egg wash "stains" the spring roll, so it's best to use the cornstarch mixture.
Place each roll on a tray. This recipe makes about 18-20 spring rolls. You can also freeze these spring rolls on the tray overnight, and transfer them to a zip-lock bag when they are completely frozen for future use. We usually fry some fresh and freeze the rest, unless we are hosting a party, in which case, these go like hot cakes!
To fry the spring rolls, fill a small pot (which requires less oil) with oil until it's 2 to 3 inches deep. Heat the oil slowly over medium heat until it reaches 325 degrees. Gently add the spring rolls one at a time, frying in small batches. Carefully roll them in the oil so they cook evenly until golden brown and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.
Prepare the dipping sauce by adding all ingredients to a small sauce pan. Mix and heat until just simmering and pour into a small bowl. Serve the spring rolls hot with the dipping sauce!

Pork dumplings
INGREDIENTS
450 grams (1 pound) ground pork (at least 20% fat)
1 package frozen dumpling wrappers OR homemade steamed dumpling wrappers
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare filling
Combine ground pork, shrimp, ginger, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl. Stir with a spatula until the ingredients are well combined. Cover with a plastic wrapper and allow to marinate in fridge until you're ready to wrap the dumplings.
Cut 6 to 8 pieces napa cabbage leaves (just enough to line the steamer) and keep for later. Cut the rest of the cabbage into small cubes and set aside.
Sprinkle 2 pinches of salt onto the cabbage and mix well with your hands. Allow this to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a few layers of cheesecloth or paper towel to squeeze out extra water.
Just before wrapping dumplings, add the napa cabbage, green onion, and sesame oil into the pork mixture. Stir to mix well.
Wrap
Work on the dumplings one by one. You can watch this video if you're using frozen dumpling wrappers. Or watch this video if you're using homemade dumpling wrappers.
Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons (depends on the size of dumpling wrapper you use) of dumpling filling and place it in the center of the wrapper. If you're using pre-made dumpling wrappers, dip your finger into a small bowl of water and wet the outer edge of the dumpling wrapper. Fold both sides into a half-moon shape and pinch the middle points together. Hold the dumpling with one hand and start sealing the edges into pleats with the other hand. Once you have sealed the dumpling, firmly press the pleated side with your fingers to make sure the dumpling is well sealed. If you put in too much filling and have trouble sealing the dumpling, remove extra filling and fold the dumpling again.
If you plan to cook the dumplings immediately, place dumplings onto a well-floured cutting board about a finger width apart.
If you plan to freeze the dumplings, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place dumplings on top.
Cook
Line the bamboo steamers with napa cabbage leaves. Place dumplings into the steamer a finger width apart. Add two inches of water into a wok or a large pan that can comfortably fit your steamer. Place the steamer into the wok making sure the water doesn't touch the dumplings when it begins to boil. Cover the steamer and cook over high heat for 10 minutes.

Lately as a dessert wine after an Asian meal, I have been having some Asian plum wine. Think its just Kikkoman (sp?), but it tasted better than a couple of the other ones that were available. Dont think I've ever had Saki yet.

Never heard of baijiu.
Baijiu, also known as shaojiu or archaically as sorghum wine, is a Chinese alcoholic beverage made from grain. Báijiǔ literally means "white alcohol" or liquor, and is a strong distilled spirit, generally between 40 and 60% alcohol by volume.
Sounds right up my alley :laugh:

My mom couldnt cook early on, just tv dinners and hamburger helper, but she got better. Her thing was mostly baking and goodies. So I do have a lot of those recipes. Her spaghetti was the best, but the recipe is not the original. That was her bad habit, making tweaks and not modifying the recipe on paper lol. I got close to hers, but not exact, though everyone loves my spaghetti. Lots of recipes I have came from various people. Some of the lil old ladies that died, man I wish I could have access to those recipes lol.

The wrapper is made from egg and flour I believe..
It's filled with lettuce and shredded carrots, garlic, onions and bean sprouts..
It's served cold too..

Chinese-style braised beef one-pot
Ingredients
3-4 tbsp olive oil
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
good thumb-size piece fresh root ginger, peeled and shredded
1 bunch spring onions
, sliced
1 red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
1½ kg braising beef
, cut into large pieces (we used ox cheek)
2 tbsp plain flour, well seasoned
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
2 star anise
(optional)
2 tsp light muscovado sugar (or use whatever you've got)
3 tbsp Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
, plus more to serve
500ml beef stock
steamed bok choi and steamed rice, to serve
Method
Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large, shallow casserole. Fry the garlic, ginger, onions and chilli for 3 mins until soft and fragrant. Tip onto a plate. Toss the beef in the flour, add 1 tbsp more oil to the pan, then brown the meat in batches, adding the final tbsp oil if you need to. It should take about 5 mins to brown each batch properly.
Add the five-spice and star anise (if using) to the pan, tip in the gingery mix, then fry for 1 min until the spices are fragrant. Add the sugar, then the beef and stir until combined. Keep the heat high, then splash in the wine or sherry, scraping up any meaty bits. Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2.
Pour in the soy and stock (it won't cover the meat completely), bring to a simmer, then tightly cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 1½-2 hrs, stirring the meat halfway through. The meat should be very soft, and any sinewy bits should have melted away. Season with more soy. This can now be chilled and frozen for up to 1 month.
Nestle the cooked bok choi into the pan, then bring to the table with the basmati rice straight away and tuck in.

Today I'm making avocado chicken stir-fry.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces
2 large ripe but firm avocados - peeled, pitted, and cut into large chunks
Directions:
1. In a bowl, stir together the chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic until the cornstarch is smooth, and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, and cook and stir the chicken until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Remove from the wok and set aside. Place the snow peas into the hot wok, and cook and stir until bright green and still crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and green onions, and toss with the snow peas in the hot oil until the mushrooms are tender and have given up their juice, about 5 minutes. Pour off excess juices, if any.
3. Return the chicken to the wok, and stir briefly over medium heat to combine with the cooked vegetables. Stir the reserved sauce ingredients to recombine, if needed, and add to the wok. Gently stir in the avocado, and let the mixture bubble until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Stir gently to coat everything in sauce, and serve.

I will make Taiwanese pan fried rice noodles with vegetables and pork tomorrow.
Ingredients:
Pork Soup Stock
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
• 1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, cut into thick strips
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2-3 whole scallions, trimmed and coarsely chopped
• 2 pounds pork bones
• 4 quarts water
• salt, to taste
Noodles
• 1/2 pound pork shoulder, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 pound rice noodles
• 3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
• 8-10 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in water until fully reconstituted (about 30 minutes), de-stemmed and thinly sliced
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1 cup fresh or canned bamboo shoots, rinsed well and julienned
• 2 cups basic pork soup stock
• salt and ground white pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons black rice vinegar
• 2-3 whole scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
Directions:
To make the noodles:
1.In a shallow dish, marinate the sliced pork in 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce, the cornstarch, and the sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 1 day).
2.Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain completely.
3.Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring frequently, until all the pieces are mostly opaque, about 1-2 minutes.
4.Add the mushrooms, carrot, and bamboo shoots to the pan along with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 1-2 minutes.
5.Add the stock and the remaining 1/4 cup of soy sauce to the pan and bring just to a boil. Drop in the cooked rice noodles and stir briskly, tossing and turning the noodles with tongs or a spatula. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Allow the noodles to fully absorb the broth so that there is no liquid in the pan.

I will make Taiwanese pan fried rice noodles with vegetables and pork tomorrow.
Ingredients:
Pork Soup Stock
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
• 1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, cut into thick strips
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2-3 whole scallions, trimmed and coarsely chopped
• 2 pounds pork bones
• 4 quarts water
• salt, to taste
Noodles
• 1/2 pound pork shoulder, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 pound rice noodles
• 3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
• 8-10 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in water until fully reconstituted (about 30 minutes), de-stemmed and thinly sliced
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1 cup fresh or canned bamboo shoots, rinsed well and julienned
• 2 cups basic pork soup stock
• salt and ground white pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons black rice vinegar
• 2-3 whole scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
Directions:
To make the noodles:
1.In a shallow dish, marinate the sliced pork in 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce, the cornstarch, and the sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 1 day).
2.Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain completely.
3.Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring frequently, until all the pieces are mostly opaque, about 1-2 minutes.
4.Add the mushrooms, carrot, and bamboo shoots to the pan along with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 1-2 minutes.
5.Add the stock and the remaining 1/4 cup of soy sauce to the pan and bring just to a boil. Drop in the cooked rice noodles and stir briskly, tossing and turning the noodles with tongs or a spatula. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Allow the noodles to fully absorb the broth so that there is no liquid in the pan.
6.Finally, stir in the vinegar and toss to distribute evenly. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the scallions.

BBQ Yellow Bean Chicken with Grilled Chinese Long Beans
Ingredients
4 heaping tablespoons yellow bean sauce
4 heaping tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
4 tablespoons light soy sauce
Peanut oil
1 heaping tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2-inch piece ginger, peeled and freshly grated
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces
12 ounces Chinese long beans, trimmed and cut into thirds
1 Fresno chili, seeded and chopped for garnish
Directions
Special equipment: Four 10-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
Put the bean sauce, honey, rice wine, light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon peanut oil, brown sugar, dark soy sauce garlic and ginger into a bowl and stir to combine. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover the bowl, refrigerate and leave to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour and as long as overnight.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat, making sure the grates have been brushed clean and lightly oiled before cooking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Reserve the marinade, transfer to a small pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Set aside.
Divide and thread the chicken onto the 4 bamboo skewers, 5 to 6 pieces of chicken per skewer. Grill the chicken on each side until charred, about 2 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium and place the green beans on the grill alongside the chicken skewers, basting the chicken and beans with the reserved marinade. Continue turning and basting every couple minutes until the outside edges are glazed and sticky and the chicken is cooked through; 10 to 12 minutes total. Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with the chiles.

I'm making a vegan take on Korean kimchi tofu soup for supper tonight.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, medium dice
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons Korean chili paste
1 medium zucchini, medium dice
1 cup kimchi, coarsely chopped (see What to Buy note)
I container of Korean soybean paste
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 (14- to 16-ounce) package silken or soft tofu, drained
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
Steamed white or brown rice, for serving
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a tightfitting lid over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the chile paste, stir to combine, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the zucchini, season with salt, and stir to combine. Add the kimchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until simmering, about 2 minutes. Add the soybean paste and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Taste and season with salt as needed.
3. Using a large serving spoon, add the tofu by very large spoonfuls, taking care not to break up the tofu into little bits.
Gently press down on the tofu with the back of the spoon so that the broth is mostly covering it. Simmer until the tofu is heated through and the flavors have melded, about 3 minutes.

Ginger soy teamed fish.
1 1/2 lbs or 4 (6 oz) sea bass or halibut filets
1/4 cup
green onions (scallions), white parts only, finely sliced on the bias
3 tablespoons cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons canola oil
Sauce:
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely sliced into slivers
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon light
soy sauce
1 tablespoon
dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon
toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
Instructions
Place a steaming rack in a wok or a deep pan and fill the pan with 2 inches of water. The water should be below the steaming rack. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl. Place the fish filets on a plate suitable for steaming and large enough to hold the filets in a single layer. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fish filets.
Place the plate of fish on the steaming rack, cover tightly and steam the fish over high heat for 7 to 10 minutes per inch thickness of fish. Carefully remove the plate from the steamer and transfer the filets to a warmed platter and spoon the sauce over the fish.
To serve, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a small pan until near smoking. Place the green onions and cilantro on top of the fish filets and carefully drizzle the hot oil over the fish. Serve immediately.
For the chicken marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with the sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce and pepper. Toss to coat, cover, place in the refrigerator and let sit 1 hour.
For the stir-fry: Remove the chicken from the fridge. Add 1 cup cornstarch to a shallow baking dish and dredge each piece of chicken, shaking off any excess.
Fill a Dutch oven or high-sided saute pan with enough oil to completely submerge the chicken pieces. Heat over high heat until glossy and the temperature reaches 375 degrees F. Deep fry the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes, adding your chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding and to keep your oil from dropping in temp too much. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Next, add the rice wine, hoisin, oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey and the chili sauces; bring to a simmer.
In a glass measuring cup, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/4 cup very cold water (make sure you water is cold to avoid lumps!), whisking until combined. Add the mixture to the sauce and simmer for an additional minute, until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add in the fried chicken and toss to coat with the sauce. Add the lemon zest and juice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and scallions.

Chinese spring rolls
INGREDIENTS
2 lbs ground lean pork
PORK MARINADE
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon salt
VEGETABLES FOR FILLING
10 -12 cups cabbage, shredded
12 ounces carrots, shredded
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, squeezed of excess moisture and shredded
8 -10 dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated in boiling water, squeezed and shredded
1 bunch green onion, thinly sliced
BINDER FOR FILLING
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 -2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 -2 tablespoon dry sherry
WRAPPERS
50 spring roll wrappers, paper-thin wheat-based, thawed if frozen. Wei-Chan brand recommended
SEALER FOR ROLLS
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons water
OIL FOR FRYING
1 quart vegetable oil
DIPPING SAUCE
2 tablespoons hot sauce, Frank's or Durkee brand recommended
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dry sherry
DIRECTIONS
Mix marinade ingredients well. Add pork. Mix well and marinate at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Saute cabbage and carrots in 1 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in wok until crisp-tender. Alternately, steam vegetables in a bamboo steamer until crisp-tender (about 5 minutes). Spread out on a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan and put in refrigerator (or freezer, if you're in a hurry) until thoroughly cold. Saute meat in wok in 1 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until no longer pink. Continue to saute until all moisture/juices have evaporated. Meat should appear dry. Spread out on another cookie sheet or jellyroll pan and put in refrigerator (or freezer, if you're in a hurry) until thoroughly cold. Stir together cooled meat, binder mixture, cooled cabbage and carrots, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and green onions. Mix well. Make sure filling is cool to the touch.
Combine sealer ingredients and mix until smooth. Place one wrapper on the counter with a point facing toward you, so the wrapper looks diamond-shaped, not square. Place a small amount of filling, about 1/4 cup, about 1/3 of the way up on on the wrapper. roll the wrapper tightly, tucking in the sides, to form a narrow finished roll about 1/2 to 2/3 inch in diameter. Seal the roll by brushing the triangle end flap with sealer for about the last 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Keep finished rolls under a damp towel or a couple of damp paper towels. Can be refrigerated or frozen at the point. For long term storage in freezer, put rolls in plastic bags.
To make the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients and stir well. To make the alternate dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring until smooth. Strain and cool.
Heat 1 quart vegetable oil in wok to about 350 degrees. Add rolls one at a time. Do not crowd. Cook in batches of 8 to 10 until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Regulate heat as necessary to maintain temperature. Don't let temperature go over 375 degrees. Cut in half diagonally and serve warm with a Chinese mustard for dipping and one of the soy-sauce based dipping sauces listed above. Cutting the rolls in half diagonally facilitates absorption of the sauce into the filling when the roll is dipped. Also, it makes the rolls go farther and be easier for people to handle at a party, etc. Cooled rolls can be reheated at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, wrapped in foil.

3 to 4 tablespoons doubanjiang (Chinese fermented spicy chili bean paste), depending on your preferred level of spiciness
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, grated or ground
1 daikon radish (or potato, or broccoli), chopped
2 small carrots, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine chicken, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, black pepper and salt in a large bowl. Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until warm. Add star anise, doubanjiang and nutmeg powder. Turn to medium low heat. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
3. Add chicken and mix so that both sides are coated with the sauce. Cook and flip occasionally, until both sides turn golden brown. While browning the chicken, stir the sauce frequently to prevent burning.
4. Add 1 cup of water, the daikon radish, and the carrot. Turn to medium heat. Bring to a boil. Turn to medium low heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover, flip chicken, and mix the radish and carrot with the sauce. Cover and continue to cook until juice runs clean when poking the thickest part with a chopstick, for 5 to 10 minutes.
5. While simmering the chicken. Add 4 cups of water to another big pot (*see footnote 2). Add noodles and cook according to the instructions.
6. Transfer cooked noodles with noodle soup into the bowls you'll serve them in. Add a few spoonfuls of sauce from the chicken stew. Top with chicken, radish, and carrot. Garnish with green onion.

Sweet and Sour Fish
What You'll Need
1 pound fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or sea bass)
4 ounces mangetout (snow peas)
1 red bell pepper
1 tablespoon ginger (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons green onions (chopped diagonally)
2 to 4 cups oil (for deep-frying)
For the Marinade:
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the Sauce:
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons rice vinegar (or red or white wine)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)
How to Make It
1. Rinse the fish fillets and pat dry. Cut into 2-inch squares. Add the fish to the marinade ingredients, using your fingers to mix the ingredients and adding the cornstarch last. Marinate the fish for 15 minutes.
2. While the fish is marinating, prepare the sauce and vegetables. In a small bowl, mix together the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, tomato paste, vinegar, and sugar. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water.
3. Blanch the snow peas in boiling water until they turn bright green. Plunge briefly in cold water. Drain thoroughly. Cut the bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and cut into cubes.
4. Heat the oil to between 360 and 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the marinated fish cubes. Deep-fry until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Remove all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Add the ginger and green onion and stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add the snow peas. Stir fry for a minute and add the red bell peppers.
6. Push the vegetables up to the sides of the wok and add the sauce in the middle. Bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch and water mixture, stirring to thicken. Serve the fish on a platter, covered with the sweet and sour sauce and vegetables.

I'm making mushroom and tofu potstickers tonight for meatless Monday.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 block tofu, about one pound (well pressed, and crumbled)
1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms (diced small)
1/2 cup Napa cabbage (diced small)
1/2 tsp. fresh ginger (minced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
3 scallions (diced)
2 tbsp. soy sauce (or, use a Japanese-style tamari)
1 tsp. sesame oil
Dash red pepper flakes (optional)
Optional: 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
Directions:
Sautee the crumbled tofu, mushrooms and cabbage in olive oil along with ginger and garlic for a few minutes. When the tofu and mushrooms are almost done cooking, add the scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil and red pepper flakes, stirring well to combine.
Allow to cook for one or two more minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Stir in the fresh cilantro.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the tofu and mushroom mixture into each wonton wrapper or gyoza wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, then fold in half and press to seal. Make a couple of pinches or folds to create a fan-like shape. This will help to seal the filling inside the dumpling. It may take a couple of tries to get the technique just right, but once you do, it's really quite easy!
Heat a couple of inches of water in a large pan, and place a vegetable steamer inside. Place the potstickers, a few at a time, on the steamer, cover, and steam your vegetarian potstickers for 2 - 3 minutes on each side. Potstickers are done steaming when they are soft and pliable.

Slow Roasted Crispy Pork Belly
INGREDIENTS
3 to 4 pounds (1.4 to 1.8 kilograms) whole slab of skin-on pork belly (*Footnote 1)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, depending on the size of the pork belly (*Footnote 2)
Marinade
1/2 cup light soy sauce (or soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free)
1/4 cup oyster sauce (*Footnote 3)
1/4 cup Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry for gluten-free)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
Serving options
Mustard, Sriracha hot sauce (or other hot sauce), or plum sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Marinate
Choose a shallow dish large enough to hold the pork belly (I used a baking dish). Add all the marinating ingredients and stir to mix well.
Pat the skin of the pork belly with a paper towel to dry completely. Score the skin into a crosshatch pattern using a sharp knife. Try to cut through the skin without piercing the fat.
Carefully transfer the pork into the shallow dish with the marinade. The marinade should come up to the sides of the pork but not touch the skin. Let it marinate in the fridge uncovered overnight or for up to a day.
Cook
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleaning. Place a wire rack on top and then place the pork on the rack.
Evenly spread a layer of salt to cover the pork skin entirely.
Cook at 400 F (200 C) for 30 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 300 F (150 C). Bake for another 2 hours.
Raise the oven temperature to 450 F (230 C) and roast for another 30 to 45 minutes, until the skin completely crisps up.
Move the pork onto the kitchen counter and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Slash a cross on top of the foil to let out steam so the crackling will remain crispy. Rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can place the pork in the oven on the lowest setting if you won't serve it immediately.

We're having vegetarian potstickers tonight.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 leek, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 head Napa cabbage, finely shredded
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 medium carrot, grated on finest holes of a box grater
24 wonton wrappers
Asian Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup light soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 lemon, zested
Directions:
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and garlic and cook until leeks begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage, vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger and cook, stirring, until cabbage is soft, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in the carrot. Allow the filling to cool.
Transfer cabbage mixture to a mixing bowl and work together until fully incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
To make the potstickers, lay a wonton wrapper on the work surface and put about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Dip your finger in a little water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper; this will help the potsticker seal when cooking. Bring the outside edges of the wonton wrapper together over the filling and press it together to form a pouch. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling.
To cook the potstickers, heat the remaining oil in a very large skillet over high heat. Place all of the potstickers upright in the pan and cook, without disturbing them, until browned on the bottom, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan and immediately cover. Allow the potstickers to steam for about 3 minutes, then remove the skillet lid. Continue cooking until the water is completely evaporated.
Transfer to a platter and serve with the dipping sauce.

For meatless Monday tomorrow, I'm making Singapore style hakka noodles.
Ingredients:
200 g Hakka Noodles
10 g Chives
30 g Ginger
1 tbsp Chili Garlic Sauce
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp Mild Curry Powder
113 g Carrot, julienned
160 g Zucchini
113 g Green Peas
200 g Extra-Firm Tofu
Directions:
1 Make sure your pans are hot before adding oil! It helps to ensure a crispy golden-brown crust on the tofu! Wash and dry all produce.* Bring a covered medium pot of salted water to a boil. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel, then zest or mince 1 tbsp ginger. Finely chop the chives. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1/2-inch thick half-moons.
2 Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When pan is hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then the tofu. Cook, tossing the cubes occasionally, until golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Transfer the tofu to a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
3 Add 1 tbsp oil to the same pan, then the zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, 3-4 min. Add the carrots, curry powder, peas and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender-crisp and ginger is fragrant, 1-2 min. Remove the pan from the heat.
4 Add the noodles to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, 1-2 min. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold running water. (TIP: Shocking the noodles with cold water will keep them from sticking to each other!)
5 Add the noodles, tofu, chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce and 1/2 cup water to the pan with the veggies. Cook, stirring together, until the sauce coats the noodles, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
6 Divide the hakka noodles between between bowls and sprinkle over the chives.

Shrimp Lo Mein With Three Vegetables
Ingredients
1/2 pound raw shrimp (shelled and deveined)
2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 pound Chinese egg noodles
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, or as needed
1 red bell pepper
1 3.5 ounce can bamboo shoots
1/2 cup shredded Napa cabbage
2 or 3 slices ginger, to make 2 teaspoons
1/4 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar, or to taste
6 tablespoons oil for stir-frying
Steps to Make It
Rinse the shrimp under warm running water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut in half lengthwise if desired. Add the rice wine and cornstarch to the shrimp, using chopsticks to mix it in. Marinate the shrimp for 15 minutes.
In a large saucepan, add enough water to cover the noodles and bring to a boil. Add the noodles, stirring to separate. Cook until the noodles are al dente - tender, but still firm. Drain thoroughly. Rinse with cold water, drain again and toss with the sesame oil.
Cut the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and cut into thin strips about 2-inches long. Rinse the bamboo shoots to remove any "tinny" taste. Drain and cut in half. Shred the cabbage. Mince the ginger until you have 2 teaspoons.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the sauce ingredients (chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar) and set aside.
Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the ginger and stir-fry briefly until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add the shrimp. Stir-fry until they turn pink. Remove from the wok.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the shredded cabbage and the bamboo shoots. Stir-fry for a minute and add the red bell pepper. Stir-fry for another minute and remove from the wok.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the wok. Add the noodles and the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium to give the noodles time to absorb the sauce. Add the shrimp and vegetables back into the pan. Heat through and serve hot.

Easy Garlic Ginger Glazed Sticky Pork
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless center cut pork loin cut into 1/4-inch thick slabs, then 1/4-inch thick strips, about 3 inches long
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon canola or peanut oil plus extra if necessary
5 cloves garlic peeled and minced or pressed through a garlic press
2- inch knob of fresh ginger grated
1/2 cup mild honey
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup sriracha or chili garlic sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
Instructions
In a liquid measuring cup or a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mild honey, sriracha, and rice wine vinegar. Set aside.
Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and swirl to coat. Let it heat until it is shimmering. While the oil heats, sprinkle the pork strips with kosher salt and black pepper then toss with your hands to distribute it evenly. Carefully add the pork to the pan, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Let the first side brown, flip the pieces with tongs or a spatula, and brown the second side. Transfer the pork to a plate.
Return the pan to the heat and add in the garlic and ginger. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Raise the heat to high and pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. When the sauce is very bubbly and thickened like warm honey, toss the pork back in and toss constantly to coat everything and reduce the sauce to a thick, sticky glaze on the pork. This can be served immediately over rice, noodles, or as finger food, or can be allowed to cool and be eaten cold.

Spinach and Tofu Dumplings
Ingredients
DUMPLINGS
5 ounces baby spinach (5 packed cups)
5 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 small jalapeños, seeded and minced
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil Salt and freshly ground pepper
About 45 square wonton wrappers (from 1 package)
DIPPING SAUCE
1/4 cup plus
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 20 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the spinach to a colander. When the spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze it dry, then coarsely chop it. Keep the water hot.
Step 2
Transfer the spinach to a medium bowl and stir in the tofu, cornstarch, jalapeños, soy sauce and sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Working with 4 wonton wrappers at a time, dampen the edges and mound 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold 1 corner of each up over the filling and seal to make triangles. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 4
In a small serving bowl, stir the soy sauce with the vinegar and honey.
Step 5
Return the water to a boil. Add the dumplings and simmer over moderate heat, stirring gently, until the edges are al dente, about 3 minutes. Carefully drain in a colander and transfer to a platter. Serve with the dipping sauce.
Whisk all the sauce ingredients together (soy sauce, water, oil, honey, sugar, fish sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, peppers, hoisin, and peanut butter). You could also puree the sauce in a food processor to get the garlic, peppers, and ginger smooth.
Marinate the pork in the sauce overnight or for at least a few hours. I did mine overnight and then some, about 15 hours.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and stir-fry the pork until browned on the outside. I found that there wasn't a whole lot of extra sauce after marinating, but I discarded the little bit that was left.
Cook your rice noodles according to package directions. Keep a little bit of liquid with the noodles to make sure it doesn't dry out. Top with pork, carrots, scallions, peanuts, cilantro, and extra sauce of choice (more hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sweet chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, etc). This is definitely a build-your-own kind of thing – just throw whatever you like in there with the noodles.

I'm making Japanese sesame chicken tonight for supper.
Ingredients
1/4 cup honey, plus 1 tablespoon
1/3 cup mirin, sweet Japanese rice wine
1/3 cup soy sauce , low sodium, or tamari
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 chicken breasts, thinly sliced or flattened to ½-inch thick, (1½ -2 pounds)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon chives, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
zest of one lemon
vegetable oil, for grill
Directions
In a medium-sized bowl whisk sauce ingredients together; honey, mirin, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil.
Add chicken to a large resealable plastic bag. Add minced garlic and ¼ cup of the sauce mix. Seal bag, removing excess air.
Use your hands to distribute the sauce and garlic evenly around the chicken. Leave at room temperature on the counter to marinate while making the sauce. If you aren't going to cook the chicken right away, transfer to refrigerator for up to 1 day for marination.
Add remaining sauce to a medium-sized skillet.
Turn heat to medium-high and allow to cook and reduce by half until slightly thickened (not quite syrupy), about 8 to 10 minutes, with just over ⅓ cup sauce remaining. You want the sauce to be thick enough to glaze and stick to the chicken and not be runny. Set aside.
Heat grill over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil on a folded piece of paper towel, and then carefully grease the grill with the oil.
Once the grill is nice and hot, add chicken pieces. Cook chicken uncovered on each side until no longer pink (160-165°F), about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
Flip over and baste chicken with some sauce. At the end of cooking brush with more sauce before serving.
In a small bowl mix sesame seeds, chives, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Sprinkle on top of chicken. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
Add 2 teaspoons each chile-bean sauce (or chile-garlic sauchttp://images.media-allrecipes.com/userphotos/960x960/4609281.jpge) and tahini, ½ teaspoon each bouillon paste, rice wine and brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon vinegar to each of three 1½-pint canning jars. Layer 1 cup cabbage, 3 ounces tofu (about ½ cup), ¼ teaspoon ground peppercorns and ½ cup ramen noodles into each jar. Top each with ½ teaspoon sesame seeds. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To prepare each jar: Add 1 cup very hot water to the jar, cover and shake until the seasonings are dissolved. Uncover and microwave on High in 1-minute increments until steaming hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir well. Let stand a few minutes before eating.
Tips: Great for flavoring soups, stews and sauces, bouillon paste has a spoonable consistency that makes it easy to portion just the amount you need. To keep sodium in check, opt for reduced-sodium offerings.
For 1½ cups cooked noodles, start with 3 to 4 ounces dry. Boil the noodles about 1 minute less than the package directions so they are slightly underdone. Drain and rinse well with cold water before assembling in jars.
Black vinegar—or ching-kiang vinegar—adds a rich, smoky flavor to many Chinese dishes. Look for it in Asian markets and specialty food shops. Balsamic, sherry or white vinegars can be used as substitutes.

Sticky Pineapple Chicken
Ingredients
1 large pineapple
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
6 boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic paste
½ cup chicken stock (100 mL)

Shrimp Lo Mein
Ingredients
Noodles:
Salt
8 ounces dried Chinese egg noodles, or 1 pound fresh
Sauce:
1 packet chicken bouillon mix, such as Knorr, dissolved in 1 3/4 cups hot water
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
Lo Mein:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 cup thinly sliced white button mushrooms
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, shredded
1 small bunch scallions, white and green parts, sliced
1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 head Napa cabbage, finely shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions
1. For the noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles according to their package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. For the sauce: Combine the bouillon, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and Sriracha in a large glass measuring cup or small bowl and set aside. This may look like a lot of sauce, but you have a lot of noodles and veggies to coat!
3. For the lo mein: Heat a wok over high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, half the garlic, half the ginger and half the scallions and saute 30 seconds. Add in the shrimp and cook until they just start to turn pink and curl up, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp and aromatics to a plate and reserve.
4. In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and add the remaining garlic, ginger and scallions. Saute 30 seconds, and then add in the mushrooms, celery, carrots and cabbage. Saute the veggies until they begin to brown and caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Whisk the cornstarch into 2 tablespoons cold water. Once dissolved, add to the sauce. Add the sauce to the pan with the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Toss in the reserved shrimp, aromatics and noodles and serve!

Chinese Red-Sauce-Glazed Spatchcocked Turkey Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup (235ml) dark soy sauce
1 cup (235ml) Shaoxing wine
1 cup sugar (8 ounces; 225g)
1 cinnamon stick
2 pieces star anise
2 (1-inch) knobs peeled fresh ginger, lightly crushed under the heel of a knife, divided
1 whole turkey (12 to 14 pounds total; 5.5 to 6.3kg), butterflied according to these instructions, backbone, neck, and giblets reserved
2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil, divided
1 1/2 quarts (1.4L) homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken or turkey stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
1.In a medium saucepan, stir together soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and sugar until sugar is mostly dissolved. Add cinnamon, star anise, 1 knob of ginger, and 2 scallions. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Lower heat to a bare simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is lightly syrupy and coats the back of a spoon, about 40 minutes. Set aside.
2.Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Scatter two-thirds of onions and celery across pan. Place a wire rack directly on top of vegetables.
3.Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Rub 1 tablespoon (15ml) oil all over turkey. Using a pastry brush, apply a thin layer of glaze to underside of turkey only. Place turkey skin side up on top of rack, tuck wing tips behind back, and arrange so turkey does not overlap the baking sheet edges, pressing down on breastbone to flatten breasts slightly.
4.Transfer turkey to oven and roast, rotating occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into deepest part of breast registers 150°F (66°C) and thighs register at least 165°F (74°C), about 1 hour 20 minutes. During last 20 minutes of cooking, apply several coats of glaze all over turkey skin with pastry brush, roasting for 5 minutes between each coat, until turkey is covered in a deep-brown, sticky glaze.
5.While turkey roasts, make jus. Roughly chop reserved neck, backbone, and giblets. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) oil in a 3-quart saucepan over high heat until shimmering. Add chopped turkey parts and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add remaining onions, celery, ginger, and scallions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften and brown in spots, about 5 minutes longer. Add chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a bare simmer. Simmer until reduced by half, about 40 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a 2-quart liquid measuring cup and discard solids. Skim off any fat from surface of broth. Season jus to taste with salt and pepper, cover, and keep warm.
6.When turkey is cooked, remove from oven and transfer rack to a new baking sheet. Allow to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before carving. Carefully pour any collected juices from pan through a fine-mesh strainer into a liquid measuring cup. Skim off excess fat and discard. Whisk juices into jus.

Chinese Red Bean Bao
Ingredients
For the dough
500g plain flour, plus a little extra for dusting
1 sachet (7g) of fast-action yeast
2 tbsp groundnut oil
2 tbsp caster sugar
300ml warm water
1 tbsp sesame oil
For the Bao filling
½ jar red bean paste
For the garnish
16 goji berries
Method
Put all the ingredients for the buns apart from the water and sesame oil into a bowl and roughly combine. Pour half the warm water into the dry ingredients and stir. Pour in the remaining water and mix well. Dust a clean surface with a little of the extra flour, and tip the dough onto it. Knead with your hands for five minutes. Once kneaded, if possible try to shape your dough into a rough 'bun'.
Rub the inside of a large bowl with the sesame oil. Put in your dough, cover with cling film or a clean tea towel, place in a warm place and leave to prove until the dough has at least doubled in size. This normally takes a minimum of 90 minutes.
Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead again to knock out the air. Take a golf-ball sized piece of dough and flatten with the palm of your hand. Spoon at least one and a half teaspoons of the red bean paste into the middle of the flattened pastry. Carefully pull up the edges of the dough to encase the filling in a ball shape, and then smooth the edges and place on a floured tray.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling, then cover the buns with a damp tea towel and leave to rise for another 15 minutes. Once raised, place each one on a small disc of baking parchment with the join underneath. Top each bun with two goji berries. Place in a steamer and cook for 12-15 minutes. Once cooked serve immediately and there you have it your very own Chinese Red Bean Bao!
10 ounces extra-firm plain, smoked, or five-spice tofu, cut into 2-inch matchsticks
4 scallions, sliced thinly on a sharp bias
Directions
1. For the Sauce: Place chilies and Sichuan peppercorns on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until toasted and aromatic, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a mortar and pestle or a food processor and crush until it's about the texture of store-bought crushed red pepper flakes. Transfer to a small saucepan.
2.Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Immediately pour hot oil over chili/peppercorn mixture (it should sizzle). Let cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a medium bowl. Add sesame seeds and set aside.
3. Combine sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic in a small bowl and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add chili oil mixture. Set aside until ready touse. (Sauce can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks).
4 For the Salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is bright green with a tender snap, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water until completely cooled. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel or a double layer of paper towels and shake to dry thoroughly.
5. Combine asparagus, tofu, and scallions in a large bowl. Stir dressing and add to taste, tossing to coat vegetables. Serve immediately

Cantonese Chicken Feet Soup
Ingredients
15 grams dried seaweed (haidai, 海带, also known as kelp or kombu - sliced into thin strips, a small handful)
1 cup raw shelled peanuts (150g)
1 1/2 pounds chicken feet (700g)
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
4 slices ginger
12 cups water (2800 ml)

Heat half the oil in a heavy based skillet over medium high heat, or BBQ on medium (if using grill side, brush oil on bars).
Remove chicken from marinade (RESERVE for basting) and place in the skillet - cook in 2 batches, don't crowd the pan. Cook for 4 minutes then turn.
Use the Marinade to baste the cooked side of the chicken. After 3 minutes, turn the chicken over so the basted side is now cooking again - cook for 1 minute.
Baste the chicken, then turn again and cook for 45 sec - 1 min.
Transfer chicken to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
Serve, garnished with green onions / scallions if using!

Ingredients:
8 ounces mung bean noodles or rice noodles
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
3/4 cup beef stock
1 1/2 tablespoons Sichuan peppercorns
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 red Fresno chile, seeded and finely diced
12 ounce ground pork
1 to 2 tablespoons chili bean sauce
1 tablespoon Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 pound firm fresh tofu, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 to 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons black rice vinegar or balsamic vinegar
Sea salt
Ground white pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 large scallions, sliced
Directions:
1. Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and toss with 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a small saucepan or wok, heat the beef stock to a simmer and then keep warm on low heat.

4. Heat a wok over high heat and add the peanut oil. Add the garlic, ginger, chili and 1 tablespoon of the ground peppercorns and stir-fry a few seconds. Add the pork and chili bean sauce and continue stir-frying. As the pork browns, add the rice wine. When the pork has browned, add the tofu and mix gently. Season the stir-fry with soy sauce, black rice vinegar, the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt and ground white pepper.
5. Add the hot beef stock to the pork and tofu and bring to a boil. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water, then stir into the sauce to thicken. Stir in the scallions and remove from the heat. Serve over the noodles and sprinkle with the remaining peppercorns.

Chinese-style Glazed Pork Belly
Ingredients
20 oz pork belly (500 g), lean
4 cups water (960 mL), plus 250 milliliters, divided
4 slices of fresh ginger
1 spring onion, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons shaoxing rice wine
cooked rice, for serving
sliced green onion, for serving
Preparation
Cut the pork belly into roughly 1-inch (2 ½ cm) cubes.
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a pot, then add the pork, ginger, onion, and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Remove the pork from the water using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with a paper towel. Discard the remaining water and vegetables.
Clean and dry the pot, then return it to high heat and add the olive oil. Return the pork to the pan and cook until browned. The oil may pop and splatter, so be careful.
Add the brown sugar, then reduce the heat to low. Stir continuously until the sugar has melted, caramelized, and coated the pork evenly.
Immediately add the soy sauces and rice wine, stirring continuously for 5-6 minutes more, or until the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
Add the remaining 250 milliliters of water. Stir, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes. Make sure the mixture is at a low simmer, not boiling. Stir
every 10 minutes or so, adding more water if the pot is getting dry.
Remove the lid. The sauce should coat the pork in a very thick glaze. If it is too runny, continue to stir, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced.
Serve immediately over a bowl of rice and sprinkle with sliced green onions.

Di San Xian (Fried Potato, Eggplant and Pepper in Garlic Sauce)
Ingredients
Sauce
1/4 cup vegetable stock (or water)
1 tablespoon light soy sauce (or soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free)
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce (or soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free (*Footnote 1))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Stir fry
1/2 (around 10 ounces / 300 grams) regular eggplant or 1 large Asian , chopped into bite-size pieces (*Footnote 2)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
1 (about 1/2 lbs or 230 g) small russet potato , halved and sliced to 1/4-inch (1/2-cm) pieces
1 bell pepper , chopped
2 green onion , chopped
2 cloves of garlic , minced
2 teaspoons sesame seeds for garnish (Optional)
Instructions
Add eggplant into a large bowl and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt. Add tap water to cover and stir to dissolve the salt. Use a small plate or a lid to cover the eggplant pieces and submerge them in the water. Soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
Drain eggplant and dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Sprinkle with cornstarch and gently mix by hand, until the eggplant pieces are lightly coated.
Combine vegetable stock, light soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, salt, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Heat a large pan (or a wok) with 1/3 cup oil over medium-high heat until hot. Place the eggplant in the pan and spread the pieces without overlapping. Cook the eggplant without moving it until the bottom turns golden brown. If the oil in the pan is fully absorbed by the eggplant before cooking through, add a bit more oil to the pan. Turn to medium heat when the pan start to smoke. Flip the pieces to cook the other side until golden brown. Transfer to a big plate.
Your pan should still have plenty of oil since the eggplant will start releasing oil once cooked.
Spread the potato pieces in the pan. Cook without moving until the bottom turns golden. Flip to cook the other side, until golden. Transfer to the plate with the eggplant.
If your pan still has too much oil, carefully remove some with a folded paper towel and only leave about 1 teaspoon oil in the pan.
Add green onion and garlic and stir a few times until fragrant.
Mix the sauce again to dissolve cornstarch completely. Pour into the pan. The sauce will thicken immediately.
Return the eggplant and potato to the pan and add bell pepper. Cook and stir until the sauce is evenly coated over the vegetables. Transfer everything to a plate immediately.
Garnish with sesame seeds (if using) and serve hot with steamed rice as a main or as a side.

Pour remaining sauce and 2 cups water into roasting pan and transfer to oven. Roast turkey, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
5. Reduce oven to 325 degrees. Baste turkey with pan juices, and tent it with foil. Continue roasting another 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with pan juices, until a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees. If pan starts to look dry, add hot water or turkey or chicken stock, if you have any, 1 cup at a time.
6. Transfer turkey to a cutting board or platter and let rest at least 30 minutes before carving. Pour pan drippings into a small pot, adding enough warm water or stock to equal 1 cup, and keep warm on the stove.
7. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Grease a large sheet pan with 1 tablespoon oil, and arrange halved potatoes on the pan, cut side down. Season with salt and black pepper, and slide potatoes into the oven. Cook, undisturbed, until potatoes are tender and cut sides are nicely browned and crisped, 30 to 35 minutes.
8. Remove pan from the oven, drizzle reserved drippings all over potatoes, toss and return to the oven to finish cooking, 5 minutes longer. Serve potatoes with turkey.

Bao Buns (Plain Chinese Vegetarian Recipe)
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
2 x Eggs
1 1/2 cup Water
Directions
1. Combine flour and salt. Beat eggs lightly and blend in.
2. Gradually add water, beating in one direction to make a thin smooth batter.
3. Lightly grease a small skillet, as in step 3 above.
4. Beat the batter again; then pour 2 tablespoonfuls into the skillet, tilting or rotating the pan so that the batter spreads thinly and evenly over the entire surface. (Pour any excess batter back into bowl at once to make the skin as thin as possible.)
5. When the dough shrinks away from the sides of the skillet, quickly pick it up (do not let it brown) and place on a tray. Cover with a damp towel.
6. Repeat process until dough is used up, lightly re-oiling the skillet each time. VARIATION: In step 1, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the flour and salt.
Bao buns... that sounds much sexy Priscilla. Thank you.

Chinese pineapple buns
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE BREAD DOUGH:
2/3 cup heavy cream
(160 ml, at room temperature)
1 cup (plus 1 tablespoon milk, at room temperature; total 250 ml)
1 large egg (at room temperature)
1/3 cup sugar (75g)
1/2 cup cake flour (70g)
3 1/2 cups bread flour (500g)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast (11g)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (7g)
FOR THE TOPPING DOUGH:
¼ cup nonfat dry milk powder
(30g)
1¼ cups all-purpose flour (160g)
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup superfine sugar (150g, it's very important that it's superfine)
¼ cup vegetable shortening (50g)
2 tablespoons milk (30 ml)
1 egg yolk
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
TO FINISH THE BUNS:
egg yolk
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by making the bread dough. In the bowl of a mixer, add the heavy cream, milk, egg, sugar, cake flour, bread flour, yeast, and salt (in that order). Using the dough hook attachment, turn on the mixer to "stir." Let it go for 15 minutes, occasionally stopping the mixer to push the dough together.
After 15 minutes, the dough is ready for proofing. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and place in a warm spot for 1 hour. The dough will grow to 1.5X its original size.
After the bread dough has proofed for an hour, put the dough back in the mixer and stir for another 5 minutes to get rid of air bubbles. Dump the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece into a circular bun, and place on a baking sheet. Cover the buns with a clean, dry kitchen towel and let rise for another hour.
While that's happening, make the topping. Add the dry milk powder to a mixing bowl. If your dry milk powder has some larger clumps, crush them up with your fingers so it's uniformly powdery.
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and superfine sugar. Stir to combine. Add the shortening, milk, egg yolk, and vanilla. Use your hands to mix everything together into a dough. If it's too dry, add a little more milk a teaspoon at a time until it comes together. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature.
When the buns are done rising for a second time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Separate the topping dough into 12 equal pieces and roll them into balls. On a clean surface, roll out each ball into a flat circle and place one onto each bun.
Brush with egg yolk and bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes

Lion's Head Meatballs With Chinese Cabbage
Ingredients
1 pound bok choy, Peking cabbage ( Napa cabbage or spinach leaves)
1 to 2 green onions (spring onions, scallions, minced)
1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
1 large egg
1 pound pork (ground)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (granulated)
2 1/2 teaspoons sherry (pale dry)
3 tablespoons light soy sauce (divided)
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
Optional: Black pepper (or white, to taste)
2 to 3 tablespoons cornstarch (or flour)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Steps to Make It
Gather ingredients.
Wash and drain the bok choy or other greens. Cut crosswise into 3-inch strips.
Mince the ginger and green onion.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork with the green onion, ginger, salt, sugar, dry sherry, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, Asian sesame oil, pepper if using, and the egg, using your fingers to mix together the ingredients thoroughly.
Add as much cornstarch as needed to make so that the mixture is not too wet, start with 2 tablespoons and then add 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Form the ground pork into 4 large meatballs. Flatten them a bit so that they are not completely round.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the 4 meatballs. Cook for 5 minutes until browned on the bottom. Turn and cook the other side (adjust the heat if the meatballs are cooking too quickly).
In a flameproof casserole dish or saucepan that is large enough to hold the meatballs, heat the chicken broth and 2 tablespoons soy sauce to boiling.
Add the meatballs, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Add the bok choy to the pot, either arranging on top of the meatballs so that it steams, or placing directly in broth if there is room.
Simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and there is no pinkness in the middle.
To serve Lion's head meatballs, serve each meatball on a small plate surrounded by the greens, or in soup bowls with some of the bok choy and broth. You can also thicken some of the broth with a cornstarch and water thickener and pour over the meatballs.

Soy-Sauce-and-Honey-Glazed Turkey
Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
2 cups soy sauce
1 cup honey
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger
One 14- to 16-pound turkey
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
6 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Step 1
In a very large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil and half of the ginger. Put the turkey in the bowl, breast side down, and marinate at room temperature for 45 minutes. Turn the turkey and marinate breast side up for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350°. Set a rack in a large roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and five-spice powder. Remove the turkey from the marinade; reserve the marinade. Set the turkey on the rack, breast side up, and season it inside and out with the salt mixture. Stuff the cavity with the scallions and the remaining ginger. Turn the turkey breast side down on the rack. Add 2 cups of water to the roasting pan. Loosely cover the turkey with a foil tent.
Step 3
Roast the turkey for 4 hours, basting with some of the reserved marinade every hour and adding a total of 3 cups of water to the pan during roasting. Turn the turkey breast side up and baste well with the reserved marinade. Roast uncovered for 30 minutes, basting once halfway through cooking. The turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 165°.
Step 4
Carefully pour the juices from the turkey cavity into the roasting pan and transfer the turkey to a carving board. Let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, strain the pan juices into a large saucepan and skim off the fat. Add the chicken stock to the juices along with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, blend the butter with the flour to make a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of the hot pan juices until smooth. Whisk the mixture into the saucepan and bring the gravy to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened. Simmer the gravy over low heat, whisking occasionally, until no floury taste remains, about 8 minutes. Carve the turkey; pass the gravy at the table.

Baked Chicken Wontons
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
8 ounces ground chicken meat
3 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
3 tablespoon carrot (shredded)
1 teaspoon green curry paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar substitute (such as ZSweet)
2 teaspoons lime juice
32 wonton wrappers
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, drizzling it down the sides of the wok. When the oil is hot, add the shallots, garlic, and green onion. Stir-fry briefly then add the chicken meat and stir-fry on high heat until the chicken changes color and is nearly cooked through.
add the shallots, garlic, chicken and green onion in a pan
Stir in the remaining ingredients (peanut butter, shredded carrots, green curry paste, soy sauce, sugar substitute, and lime juice). Remove the wok from the burner and allow the mixture to cool.
Fill and fold the wontons: first, set out the wonton wrappers with a small bowl filled with water. Lay out one wonton wrapper, and place approximately 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the middle.
Dip your finger in the water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper to wet it.
brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with water
Take another wonton wrapper and place it on top in a way that forms a star shape (ie. the top wrapper looks like a diamond instead of a square).
Fold the star points from the bottom wonton over the top. Fold the star points from the top wonton under the bottom. Now you should have little packets.
Continue with the rest of the mixture and wontons.
To cook the wonton, lay them out on the baking sheets and spray lightly with a bit more cooking spray. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden, turning halfway through cooking.
Halve vertically and scoop out the seeds and pith. Slice the bitter melon into half rings about a quarter of an inch thick. If you want to minimize the bitterness, see the instructions.
Heat the cooking oil in a wok or frying pan until wisps of smoke start to float on the surface. This is stir-frying, the heat has to be extremely high and the oil needs to be very hot before any ingredient is added to it.
Dump the marinated pork into the pan and stir fry until the meat changes color. Add the bitter melon and the fermented black beans. Stir fry for another two minutes.
Add the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Continue cooking, tossing often, for about half a minute.
Add the julienned radish and carrot, if using, and stir fry for another half a minute.
Taste and adjust the seasonings, as needed, before serving.
Serve hot with rice and enjoy!

Spicy Chinese potatoes
INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 pounds yukon gold potatoes, very thinly sliced
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
2 scallions, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 Serrano chile pepper, stemmed and sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
Soak the potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
Prepare the sauce: Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a 10" cast iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the oil is shimmering. Add the potatoes and fry, turning every minute or so, until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 4 to 6 minutes).
Add the garlic, scallions, and Serrano pepper to the pan; saute for 60 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the prepared sauce and toss well. Cook, turning the potatoes frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the potatoes have soaked up the sauce.
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish (Optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare sauce
Mix Chinkiang vinegar, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, spicy fermented bean paste, and sugar in a small bowl.
Heat peanut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Add ginger and garlic. Stir and cook until fragrant. Turn to medium low heat. Add the vinegar mixture. Stir and cook until bringing to a simmer. While grilling eggplant, put the saucepan on the grill, over indirect heat to keep warm. Add a bit of water if the sauce gets too thick.
Cook eggplant
Halve the eggplants lengthwise. Score the inside flesh in a criss-cross pattern using the tip of a small knife. Cut as close to the skin as you can without cutting through it.
Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, put on heat resistant gloves, pour the charcoal into the grill, and spread it in an even layer. Set the cooking grate in place, cover the grill, and preheat for 5 minutes. If using a gas grill, set all the burners to high heat and preheat for 15 minutes. Clean the cooking grate. Make sure the grill has reached medium-high heat (*see footnote 1).
While waiting for the grill to heat, brush cut sides of the eggplant slices with peanut oil. Season with salt.
Grill eggplant over medium-high heat with the lid open, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the surfaces are charred with dark grill marks. Flip once in the middle. If the eggplant gets charred too quickly, move to the cooler side of the grill, but not too far from the fire. Cook until the texture becomes creamy. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Pour sauce onto eggplant right before serving. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

CHINESE BAKERY FRUIT SPONGE CAKE
Ingredients
Cake
0.7 cups (~170 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
0.8 cups (~200 grams) granulated sugar
6 eggs separated into yolks and whites, both at room temperature
1.4 Tablespoons (~21 grams) unsalted butter
1.4 Tablespoons (~21 grams) milk of choice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Custard filling
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk of choice
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Stabilized whipped cream frosting
2 Tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 cups chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2.5 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Decorations
various fruits of different colors and shapes, sliced (mangoes, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, etc.)
Instructions
Make the cake
Preheat oven to 340 degrees F. Line two 8″ or 9″ round baking pans with parchment paper and grease the paper and sides of the pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter. (I used silicone baking pans so I skipped this)
Separate the eggs and place the egg whites into large stand mixer bowl and the 6 egg yolks into a separate large mixing bowl. It's imperative that there isn't any yolk in the egg white portion!
Mix 0.4 cups of the sugar with the egg yolks and beat until slightly thick and pale yellow. Stir in vanilla.
In the bowl of a large stand mixer, beat egg whites until they are about halfway to forming stiff peaks. Add the remaining 0.4 cups of sugar in three separate additions while continuing to beat the egg whites. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, creating meringue.
Gently fold in half of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture using as few strokes as possible. Gradually add flour and baking powder and mix carefully. Add the melted butter and milk to the batter. Gently fold in the remaining half of the meringue.
Divide the batter and pour into the two prepared pans. Bake for about 20-25 minutes in preheated oven until the cakes are a light brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. (Your baking time may be shorter if you use a dark, matte, or non-stick pan, and your baking time may be longer if you use a glass, aluminum, or other shiny pan).
Note that you should bake the two cake layers immediately after the batter is done to prevent the liquid from separating from the rest of the cake.
Remove cakes from oven and leave in pan and allow to cool to room temperature. You may also wrap the cooled cake layers in saran wrap if you are planning to assemble the cake in the same day.
For the custard filling
In a medium saucepan, whisk the sugar, flour, and salt. Add 3/4 cup of milk and mix until smooth.
Bring mixture to a boil at medium heat, whisking constantly. Do not scrape off any clumps that form on the sides and bottoms because they will leave clumps in your custard.
Cook another 2 minutes and remove from heat (do not turn off the stove). The mixture should have thickened up dramatically.
Mix the egg with remaining 1/4 cup of milk, then pour it into the mixture in the saucepan. Whisk vigorously to combine. Return the mixture to the heat and cook until it just starts to boil. There will be a lot of lumps initially but just keep whisking over the medium heat and most of the lumps should disappear.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla. Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. If there are still lumps in the custard, you can 1) keep whisking until they disappear, 2) strain the custard using a fine mesh sieve to get rid of the lumps, or 3) scoop them out with a fork or spoon.
Chill at least 2 hours in the fridge or overnight.
For the Stabilized Whipped Cream Frosting
Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Dissolve the gelatin by placing it in a bowl over a small pot of simmering water and stirring until the mixture turns clear. Let the mixture cool but do allow it to get cold.
Beat the heavy cream using an electric stand mixer (or a hand-held mixer) on low speed for about 30 seconds, or until small bubbles form.
Increase the speed to medium and continue beating for an additional 30 seconds.
Increase speed to high and beat until just before the cream becomes soft and poofy.
At this point, slowly add the sugar and vanilla while continuing to beat the cream until it is almost at stuff peaks.
Finally, add the melted gelatin mixture and keep beating until the cream becomes super thick.
Use frosting immediately or refrigerate for later use.
To Assemble the Finished Cake
Carefully remove cakes from pans. If desired, you can peel or cut away the browned top parts of the cakes using hands or a knife. Level the surface of cake with a knife to make the cakes as flat as possible.
Prepare the fresh fruits to be placed between the cake layers. You'll need enough fruit to cover the entire surface between the two cake layers and any additional fruits that you'll want to garnish for the top of the cake.
Make a simple syrup of 2 parts water to 1 part granulated sugar: Mix the two ingredients together in a saucepan and heat it up just until all the sugar dissolves. Squeeze in the juice from half a lemon. Brush each cake with a thin layer of simple syrup on all surfaces.
Lay the first cake layer down onto plate. Spread half of the cooled custard onto the top of the cake layer leaving about 1/2″ margin around the edge of the cake. Add the fruit on top of the custard, and be sure to cover the entire custard area. Add remaining custard on top of the fruit.
Place the second cake layer on top of the fruit filling. Gently push down on the layers and wipe away any excess custard that escapes out of the sides of the cake.
Frost the sides and top of the cake using the whipped cream frosting. Use a wide blade or a offset spatula for best results.
If you want to give your cake an extra special professional-looking touch, you can make a glaze to top the fruits on the top of the cake. In a saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of fruit preserves (any flavor) with an equal amount of water. Stir until boiling. Let the mixture reduce by continuing to boil off the water until you reach a glaze consistency (it should be runnier than honey). If desired, you can strain the glaze through a fine sieve to get rid of the fruit and/or seeds. While the glaze is still warm, gently brush over your fruit and let it dry to achieve a shiny finish.
Finally, chill the cake in the fridge and for a few hours to let the frosting set. The cake is best served the same day it is made.

Shrimp Lo Mein With Vegetables
Ingredients
1/2 pound raw shrimp (shelled and deveined)
2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 pound Chinese egg noodles
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, or as needed
1 red bell pepper
1 3.5 ounce can bamboo shoots
1/2 cup shredded Napa cabbage
2 or 3 slices ginger, to make 2 teaspoons
1/4 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
Steps to Make It
Rinse the shrimp under warm running water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut in half lengthwise if desired. Add the rice wine and cornstarch to the shrimp, using chopsticks to mix it in. Marinate the shrimp for 15 minutes.
In a large saucepan, add enough water to cover the noodles and bring to a boil. Add the noodles, stirring to separate. Cook until the noodles are al dente - tender, but still firm. Drain thoroughly. Rinse with cold water, drain again and toss with the sesame oil.
Cut the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and cut into thin strips about 2-inches long. Rinse the bamboo shoots to remove any "tinny" taste. Drain and cut in half. Shred the cabbage. Mince the ginger until you have 2 teaspoons.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the sauce ingredients (chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar) and set aside.
Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the ginger and stir-fry briefly until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add the shrimp. Stir-fry until they turn pink. Remove from the wok.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the shredded cabbage and the bamboo shoots. Stir-fry for a minute and add the red bell pepper. Stir-fry for another minute and remove from the wok.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the wok. Add the noodles and the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium to give the noodles time to absorb the sauce. Add the shrimp and vegetables back into the pan. Heat through and serve hot.

Chicken Wontons
Ingredients
Cooking spray, for the baking sheets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
8 ounces ground chicken
3 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
3 tablespoons shredded carrot
1 teaspoon green curry paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar substitute, such as ZSweet
2 teaspoons lime juice
32 wonton wrappers
Steps to Make It
1.Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray two 9 x 13-inch baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil, drizzling it down the sides of the wok. When the oil is hot, add the shallots, garlic, and green onion and stir-fry briefly. Add the chicken meat and stir-fry until the chicken changes color and is nearly cooked through.
3. Stir in the peanut butter, shredded carrots, green curry paste, soy sauce, sugar substitute, and lime juice. Remove the wok from the burner and allow the mixture to cool.
4. Fill and fold the wontons: First, set out the wonton wrappers and a small bowl filled with water. Lay out 1 wonton wrapper and place approximately 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the middle.
5. Dip your finger in the water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper to wet it.
6. Take another wonton wrapper and wet the edges. Place it on top of the other wonton, moistened-side down, in a way that forms a star shape (i.e., the top wrapper looks like a diamond instead of a square).
7. Fold the star points from the bottom wonton over the top. Fold the star points from the top wonton under the bottom. Now you should have little packets.
8. Continue with the rest of the mixture and wontons.
9. Lay the wontons out on the baking sheets and spray lightly with more cooking spray. Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until browned on both sides, turning halfway through cooking.

CHILI GARLIC SHRIMP
INGREDIENTS
1 pound jumbo tiger shrimp
(or regular shrimp; 15 size, peeled and deveined with the tail shells still on)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
2 teaspoons garlic (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon shallots (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon cilantro stems (finely chopped)
INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse the shrimp under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. You can also slice the shrimp in the back (not all the way through) to make them more plump after cooking.
Make the sauce by mixing the tomato paste, ketchup, chili garlic sauce, sugar, salt, white pepper and sesame oil in a medium bowl.
Heat the oil in your wok until smoking hot. Fry the shrimp on both sides for 30 seconds each side. The shrimp should be 80% cooked. Turn off the heat, remove the shrimp from the wok, and set aside on a plate.
Turn the heat to medium-low, and leave the remainder of the oil in the wok.
Add the ginger and infuse for 15 seconds and add the garlic and shallot. Once caramelized (about 1 minute), add the sauce mixture and continue to stir and fry for another minute until incorporated. Add the chopped cilantro stems and then the Shaoxing wine.
Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the water to thin the sauce. Bring everything to a simmer.
Once the sauce is simmering, add the shrimp and any juices that may have collected on the plate. Toss the shrimp until they are completely coated in sauce. Serve, topped with chopped cilantro leaves.

White Cut Chicken with Ginger Scallion Sauce
Main Ingredients
4 lb whole chicken (traditionally for Lunar New Year, the chicken has its head & feet intact)
2 oz green onion
1.5 oz ginger
5 tbsp corn oil
Additional Flavor & Seasoning
1 tsp salt (for boiling water)
2 tsp salt (for ginger scallion sauce)
1 tbsp sesame oil
Directions
Step 1: Boil water, add salt
Set the stove to high heat and start boiling a generous amount of water in the pot you'll be using.
Step 2: Prepare & cook chicken
Wait for the water to come to a boil.
Pierce a hole in the skin in the neck - This helps the water flow through the chicken cavity to help it cook more evenly.
Stretch the legs away from the body several times - This helps to avoid having a big clump of chicken meat that's undercooked.
Slowly dip the chicken 3 times in the boiling water - This helps even out the temperatures on the inside of the cavity and on the exterior of the chicken. Make sure the water is already boiling before you do this.
Add the chicken and make sure it's completely submerged - If you have to add more boiling water, do it.
From here, cover the pot.
Here's a rough heat / timing overview:
Once the pot's been covered, leave it on high heat for 5 minutes as the water comes to a boil again.
Lower the heat to a simmer, and cook for another 35-40 minutes. The larger the chicken, the longer you cook it. The sweet spot is 4 pounds.
Check if it's done. If so, transfer it to an ice bath.
Step 3: Mince scallions and ginger
While waiting for the chicken to cook, start on the sauce by mincing green onions (2 oz) and ginger (1.5 oz).
Having a surplus of sauce is a great problem to have, since you can use it on pretty much everything.
For the green onions, use the white stems (about 4 stems at the default serving size). Cut each stem in half, length-wise, and then into strips. Then, mince the strips into fine pieces.
For the ginger, we'll be cutting them into thin slices, strips, and then fine pieces.
Step 4: Heat oil, cook ginger scallions
We'll heat up our wok on high heat and add corn oil (5 tbsp).
The oil should be around 350-400F before we add the ginger.
Once the oil is hot enough, add the ginger and cook for about 15 seconds before adding the green onions. Cook everything for another 20-30 seconds before transferring the sauce to a bowl.
Step 5: Flavor the sauce
add salt (2 tsp) and sesame oil (1 tbsp) to the bowl, and mix for 30-60 seconds.
Step 6: Prepare an ice bath
The ice bath is very important - once the chicken is done cooking, we need to immediately cool it down.
Why is this so important?
It helps the meat contract and locks the juices inside - If we skip this step, juices will flood out as we chop the chicken into pieces.
It helps the skin stay attached - Without this step, we'll have a bunch of loose pieces of skin everywhere.
It gives the skin a bit more of a chewy texture
Step 7: Determine if the chicken is done
Once the time draws near, we can uncover the pot. Poke the thickest part of the chicken (around the thigh) deeply with a chopstick.
If blood or red fluid leaks out, we need to cook it for a few more minutes.
If the fluid is clear, it's ready for the ice bath.
Step 8: Lift and transfer to ice bath
Step 9: Carve the chicken
Order of operations:
Cut off the neck and feet, cut into small pieces
Cut and place the head and butt at opposite ends of the middle axis of the plate
Remove the wings and thighs
Cut and split the torso into two halves (front and back)
Split the back in half, and cut it into pieces
Cut and pry away the breast bone, and cut it into pieces
