This is one of the favorite dishes of my family. It seems to be complicate in preparing, but each step is simple.  This dish always rewards me with lots of compliments from its great taste. Fresh beancurd wrapper (fresh beancurd sheet) used in this dish is normally sold at the oriental supermarkets in their freezer section.  It contains 4 or 5 sheets each package.  Before cooking, just take

Though I call this dish “Stir-fry Shrimp with Rice Stick Noodle”, since it’s a quick and easy one dish meal, I add many colorful vegetables and egg to enhance the taste and make it not only healthy but even more interesting.  Soy sauce is not used in this dish, which people normally use dark sauce in stir-frying rice noodle, instead, I use ketchup and sugar to make it taste sweet and sour.  It

This is one of my family’s favorite recipes.  With right preparation and a good dipping sauce, the pan-fried pork chop tastes very appetizing. Pan-Fried Pork Chop Ingredients: 1. 2 pork chops（with or without bone） 2. ½ cup sweet potato flour 3. 6 tablespoons oil for frying Marinade for pork chop： 1. 1/4 cup soy sauce 2. 1 tablespoon sugar 3. 1 tablespoon wine 4. 3 gloves garlic, chopped 5.

Kneading dough is a labor-intense task that doesn't always guarantee 100% satisfactory results.  When I first discovered the no knead bread making method, it was such a great surprise to me. I was skeptical at first, but this recipe has never failed to produce delicious results.  All you need is a casserole dish and the following ingredients: 1.      330 g bread flour 2.      60 g whole

It was in Indonesia when I had this dish for the first time. That was many years ago, my husband had a job assignment in Indonesia and our daughter was only few months old, we resided there for less than a year. We had very nice easy life there with housemaid and chauffeur. One day our maid made this dish, my husband and I both liked it very much.  The maid told us it was called “goreng

This is an easy making bun which requires limited ingredients and simple procedures to follow, almost impossible to fail.  This bun is pan-fried with some oil at medium low heat, so the outside of the bun tastes crispy.  However, the inside of the bun is slowly cooked though during that time (like baking procedure), it tastes soft and fluffy. With sesame and green onion in every bite, it comes

This is a quick and easy meal and you can take this opportunity to clean up all the small quantities of vegetables in your refrigerator.  Have some meat or shrimp.  Find some vegetable in various colors.  Always keep some individually packed Udon (Japanese style thick noodle) in stock.  You can have this meal done in 30 minutes.

Ground meat is mainly used when we make meat ball. I called these tofu balls because tofu is used as primary ingredient and ground pork is acting as a secondary one. In addition to tofu and ground pork, some finely chopped Enoki mushroom and chopped dried mushroom were used to give it more taste and texture. The ground pork takes up only about one-third of the total weight. This is a great

Most of time soy sauce is used to marinate chicken or is used as sauce base for stir-fry chicken. Today I am thinking of a different way of cooking chicken, soy-sauce-free. Lemon is used as the sauce base. The tender chicken goes through your taste buds with sweet and sour taste, and you smell the fragrance of lemon in every bite. It sure will give you a good appetite. Ingredients： 1.

This simple yet tasty spaghetti is always placed on the high priority in my quick-and-easy recipes collection (can be done in 30 minutes). As an Asian, I prefer this kind of cheese-free or low-cheese Italian food. It just seems to be lighter and healthier. The combination of shrimp and cooked red onion tastes so sweet and yummy.

This is a dish that always reminds me of my childhood with my grandma.  When I was very young, I found out that grandma can turn a Fried Rice into this delicious dish, Then, I’d ask her to cook this dish as a special treat for us whenever she came to visit us.  Though she is a vegetarian, but she would cook this dish with meat and vegetables to make it a nutrition-balanced dish for us.  Best of

It’s filled with Halloween spirits everywhere in October. In North America, pumpkin is a very important, traditional part of the autumn harvest. It is used not only in Halloween decorations; it is also often made into various traditional festival foods, such as pie, bread or soup, for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday. Pumpkin is not only loaded with Vitamin A, it’s also a very

It starts getting rainy and chilly in this early autumn. As I returned home from GYM in this gloomy and damp morning, an idea with a hot soup for lunch has crossed my mind. Hope it will warm my body and my heart. This soup is made with No Yolks Noodles which claimed to have no cholesterol. It comes with different shapes and sizes.  It can be cooked with other ingredients without pre-cooking.

  Sweet potato, this sweet vegetable loaded with many good nutrients, is in season now.  Last weekend, we went to a Sweet Potato Festival in the adjacent town, of cause we have to bring home some freshly picked sweet potatoes.  After having roasted and boiled sweet potatoes, I decide to make some muffins out of it, for a change.

I discovered this dish several years ago at a local Chinese restaurant. There are very few Asian families in my town so the food at Chinese restaurants tends to be more Americanized. When we came in for a meal, the owner decided to try out some experimental, more authentic dishes on us. I felt honored and excited to be a food critic. Surprisingly, he brought out a plate of steamed tofu with a

I planted two Ichiban eggplant (Japanese eggplant) shrubs in my vegetable garden the past spring. They did grow well and provided us with good crop all summer long. Normally, I’d like to steam the eggplants to preserve its natural taste and nutrients, and eat with soy sauce and minced garlic dip. Though the eggplants I grew didn’t look very outstanding, but we had fresh pesticides-free crop all

Dry Cooked Green Beans (亁煸四季豆 Gan-Bian-Si-Ji-Dou) was originated from Western China (like Sichuan or Hunan foods).  Normally it cooked with a small quantity of ground pork, heavy seasonings and using lots of oil to deep fry the green beans first.  Since small quantity of ground pork is not always available, and also for a healthier concern, I developed this simply version of Dry Cooked Green

This dish is traditionally made with roasted sesame paste which is sold in a jar, but peanut butter can be substituted here for good reasons and great results.  Not only does it taste light and less greasy, it also compliments the freshness when served with fresh summer vegetables - cucumbers and bean sprouts.
