[Check out my latest Salted Egg Chicken and Buttermilk Waffle Recipe] If someone is to ask me now what I think is the national food of Singapore, I would be keen to say it’s ‘anything salted egg’ whether it’s salted egg chicken, salted egg prawns, salted egg squids or salted egg crabs. These days, we […]
After I had tried making stuffed portobello mushrooms earlier this week, I’m now attempting to make stuffed bell peppers. Lunches are really getting interesting for me these days. It is just amazing how many vegetables out there we can make use of to create happy comfort food out of them. One walk down the vegetables […]
I think home cooking can sometimes be a form of art too in a sense that we can try recreating dishes from leftover ingredients without them looking like leftover food. And I kinda enjoy cracking my brain to churn up something really easy to make with whatever I have in the fridge as I don’t like […]
Whenever I dine at Lao Beijing, I will definitely order their Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce 蒜泥白肉 which comprises of thinly sliced tender pork (like those used in shabu shabu) with a good balance of lean and fat so they have that chew and crunch at the same time. The pungent odour of raw minced garlic is […]
The husband loves eggs as well as anything with eggs so naturally he’d adore egg tofu too. In order to make this an even more eggy-tasting dish, I included a beaten egg into the minced meat mixture for a slightly gooey texture which really complemented the ‘drier’ egg tofu and the rice congee that I cooked. […]
Found this easy stir-fry recipe which makes a good one-dish meal for dinner. Minimal work but very robust flavours. As dried black beans are generally salty, there isn’t a need to season the dish with more salt so just go easy with the light soy sauce in the chicken marinate. Chicken & Peppers with Black Bean […]
I’m a big fan of MasterChef Australia and I never failed to watch the various seasons when they were aired on the Lifetime channel. All the dishes that were whipped up by the contestants in the show often inspired me to create something similar at home but with my own personal twist so it’s not just […]
With leftover mushrooms, cabbage and yogurt in the fridge, I managed to churn out a new chicken recipe for lunch which really gave me the much needed protein after my gym workout. Tender mushrooms, crunchy cabbage and yogurty sauce that were sweet, sour and savoury that really lifted the plain and flat chicken breast meat. Enjoy this […]
This is one recipe that I just came up with at lunch with whatever I had in the fridge and pantry that I could make use of. I love my vegetables so I chose to have more of that than meat in this stew. Of course, if you prefer more meat instead, you can just adjust […]
This is a no-carb muffin recipe which is very easy to make without the hassle of preparing several components of the traditional fry-up. Only 3 ingredients are required but of course if you like, you can always include additional stuffs like button mushrooms, diced bell peppers, sweet corn kernels, bacon bits, etc to bulk them up. Egg & Ham […]
Most of the time when we think of Kung Pao, we would associate it with boneless chicken cubes or crunchy shelled prawns that go so well with the deliciously sweet, salty and spicy sauce. I just thought of experimenting my Kung Pao Chicken recipe with pork tenderloin (because that’s what I have in the freezer […]
The joy of inheriting a family recipe from my maternal grandma is immense as I’m the only person in the family who’s into cooking but having eaten my grandma’s Teochew style braised meat for more than two decades on every Chinese New Year, I just feel I should really preserve and master this classic dish. […]
Recently I’m quite into cooking one-main-dish-on-rice type of meals. Not only they are inexpensive to prepare, they consist of a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables in them which means I do not have to cook another meat or vegetable dish separately and that certainly saves time especially great for weekday dinners when you’re […]
Since I bought a packet of garam masala ages ago just to make a tofu scramble, it has been sitting in my pantry cupboard for the longest time ever so while I was searching for recipes to make good use of the aromatic spice, I came across this recipe for chicken tikka which according to […]
This dish is what I call the best of both worlds because the husband loves his roast pork and I love my yam. And we both adore that salty and savoury braising sauce that goes so well with steamed rice. It’d probably taste better if the yam was deep fried but I really preferred not […]
Sodas make excellent braising and stewing sauces for meats especially coke which I like to cook with chicken wings. I happened to have a few cans of ginger ale at home and thought I’d try using it to stew some eye round beef that I bought from the supermarket the other day. Stewed Beef in […]
