Light, crispy, and delicious, and most importantly, not too sweet! What’s not to like? Lol
What’s Cooking
Paratha Curry Puffs
Delicious paratha curry puffs – got the idea of using paratha as a curry puff pastry from a Singaporean friend a while back. Thank you for the great idea, Janice! 😁 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 to 1-1/4 pounds ground chicken (dark meat) 1 pound frozen diced potatoes (I use Ore-Ida Diced Hash Brown Potatoes) […]
Chicken, Fish Ball, and Tofu Soup
This is another dish from my childhood that I was reminiscing about lately. It’s an absolute comfort food to me – more hearty than your simple egg drop soup but still lighter than your typical American cream-based soup. Delicious! 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 to 1-1/4 pounds ground chicken 1 […]
Steamed Fish with Chinese Preserved Radish
Another style of steamed fish – this time with ginger, garlic, and salted, spicy, shredded radish (plus a few other ingredients). So yum! I had a second helping of rice! 4 frozen tilapia fillets, do not have to thaw 1/2 tablespoon oil A couple thin slices of ginger, julienned 1/2 (3.5 oz) package salted spicy […]
Steamed Fish
I truly eat with eyes first! After watching a video of a restaurant serving a giant steamed fish, I immediately felt the need to eat some, lol. It doesn’t have to be a humongous fish obviously…..in fact, I find fillets to be extremely convenient to steam. Yum! 4 frozen tilapia fillets, do not have to […]
Fried Stuffed Tofu and Chicken Fritters
Today, I made fried stuffed tofu and chicken fritters. The stuffing is the exact same mixture I use to make the chicken fritters, so whatever you have left after filling the tofu, just fry it up (in fact, I typically double the filling so I can make more chicken fritters!). Yum! 😁 2 (19 oz) […]
Grass Jelly Drink
Sometimes, you just want a simple grass jelly drink. One’s plain with just sugar syrup, the other is mixed with vanilla soy milk – both are equally delicious! 1 (1 lbs 3oz) can grass jelly 1/4 cup sugar 1-1/2 cups water Remove grass jelly from the can into a dish or bowl. Slice/dice the jelly […]
Homemade Char Siu and Kolo Mee
For dinner yesterday, I made a simplified version of char siu (Chinese barbecued pork) and kolo mee, a simple dish of noodles tossed in a mixture of light, flavorful seasonings. Too delicious to stop eating! Enjoy! Make the barbecued pork: 1/2 cup light soy sauce 1/2 cup honey 2 tablespoons cream sherry Approx 2 to […]
Green Tea Kit Kat
This one is a personal favorite – I highly recommend! If you have to decide which flavor to try, pick this one and it’s a couple of dollars cheaper than the strawberry. 😁
Strawberry Kit Kat
Tried Japanese strawberry-flavored Kit Kat for the first time the other day – it was delicious! Not sure I would buy it frequently with that price though. 😂
