 There are several variations on how to cook a platter of stir-fried bean sprouts. Despite it is a simple dish, the overcooked bean sprouts do not taste as good as the optimum tossed bean sprouts which are fresh and crunchy. Some cooks even go to the extend to only scald it so that the sprouts would retain its water content.Everyone in our family love bean sprouts so we sort of grow up eating bean sprout day in day out. This is just one of my mom variations, prepared with shrimps, carrot, green p… |

 Pumpkin is known to be rich in nutrition as what I elaborated in the last recipe of Pumpkin Soup. This attempt would talk about preparing savory pumpkin soup of Chinese-style. I was not aware that a typical Chinese soup brings pumpkin into the picture until I found this recipe from a recipe book entitled 'The World of Nourishing & Fine Soups'. The recipe I am going to share is adapted from a classic Chicken Soup with pumpkin and oyster. However, as usual I would exclude seafood or in this soup o… |

Proud of KUIH indeed!What I am going to introduce today is 'St… |

 Crepes are always a good way for me to move our over-stock all-purpose flour. We love sweet crepes with ice-cream for breakfast. Unlike a typical pancake which is thicker, crepes are thinner in nature and go perfectly well with peanut butter, fruits or jams (preserves) as well. Similar to Chinese pancake, crepes take a short prep time, ready within minutes. Pan-frying crepe is simple with minimal utensils and almost no mess on the stove. A blend of all-purpose flour, egg, milk, butter and sugar,… |

 Whenever I run out of idea to prepare broth or soup, I always count on my favorite Miso paste. A quick and easy fix. Within minutes, the broth can be prepared and ready to take the center stage on dining table. The most common miso soup is plain with soft tofu but I usually prefer to add some meats such as bite sizes of pork or chicken unless I am preparing for a vegan, then this is omitted. Alternatively, you may add other vegetables including radish, fresh mushroom, seaweed or zucchini. Ready… |
