火候对于煲仔饭来说很重要！Fire is important to make the representative golden, crispy rice at the bottom of Cantonese clay pot rice, the sign of success. If you burn it, or if the bottom is not golden nor crispy at all, it is NOT a qualified Cantonese clay pot rice…! To be honest, it was a few trial and error before I managed to successfully make one good pot of clay pot rice…

There are many ways we eat chicken feet in restaurant. One of the two main ways dim sum restaurants serve is with wrinkly skin / “tiger skin” pattern. The wrinkly skin is separated from the bone and meat, easier to chew off and much softer, catering to main eaters of dim sum — older generation’s need for soft food. Traditional method to make the wrinkles / “tiger skin” pattern is to deep fry in hot oil to extract moist and create air in between skin and bone, but this method could be dangerous as hot oil might splash. Air-fryer provides a simpler option allowing to re-create this traditional way to cook chicken feet!

This is a second soy sauce chicken recipe I tried. The first one boils chicken in hot water first, while this one directly cook chicken in sauce, needs some time to pour sauce over skin to color and the chicken is much more tender.

my dad’s best dishes as he always can make it not fishy and crispy. The process is not as complicated, but personally I like the thin belt fish chunks that are crisp rather than the thick belt fish chunks that are still moist. Cooking simply-marinated belt fish for a longer time over low heat will help!

Cantonese likes the origin flavor of foods, especially seafood, and this dish is another classic example. When I was back home, I used to go to local market with mom and she would choose the large, live abalone; we went home, made simple sauce with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine and sugar. Along with garlic we poured the sauce over abalone on top of vermicelli. Within a short time, steamed abalone with garlic and vermicelli would be ready! Every bite of that tastes like ocean.

Store-bought radish cake nowadays often tastes too starchy, too flour-heavy, or lacking that deep savory umami. So I decided to try making it myself. To my surprise, it turned out wonderfully delicious—and the process isn’t complicated at all. It just requires a bit of patience… and quite a lot of chopping.

Teochew beef meatball is one of the million famous, representative foods in the area; quick, home-cooking Teochew dish, especially in such cold winter always includes this radish meat ball soup. The slight hint of spicy taste from ginger, the soft radish and the chewy meatball are all in perfect combination that warms up both the body and heart in winter. The richness umami flavor from such simple ingredients and process surprised me!! I am proud to be a Teochew daughter!
