Chewy Chinese Scallion Pancakes

Light, chewy and flaky scallion pancake

Yesterday I showed how to make Chewy Chinese Pancakes at home using the hot water dough method. As I said, these pancakes are great for Peking Duck or Aromatic Crispy Duck. They are very good with char siu chicken or pork. They are great as wraps for any meat.

Chewy Scallion Pancakes is another very popular Chinese snack, even great as a meal with Turkey Mince Tomato Egg Soup. We find them to be a fabulous combination. It is light and satisfying. It has recently become my family’s favourite. Read more

How To Make Chewy Chinese Pancakes

Chewy Chinese pancakes

These chewy Chinese Pancakes are the best for making any Chinese wraps. They taste very different from store bought ones or those eaten at the restaurant. Once you have tried these, you will not want to use the ready ones any more. They are the best for Peking Duck or Aromatic Crispy Duck, our all time favourites at home. It is very expensive to eat these in restaurants so why not try it out at home. The pancakes may be a little time consuming but it’s worth all the effort. You can use it to wrap other meat dishes too. Read more

Turkey Mince Tomato Egg Soup

Turkey tomato egg soup

This Turkey Mince Tomato Egg Soup is an inspiration from a couple who invited us for a lovely dinner recently. We were served this light, delicious soup with scallion (spring onion) pancakes. It was really delicious. It kept me thinking for days and I told myself I had to make it. My friend made this soup vegetarian but I added turkey mince as I had some leftover turkey mince from making turkey wantan for lunch. I made scallion pancakes to go with it too. They are such a beautiful combination. I must say my family fell in love with it at first taste! Read more

Banana Peanut Butter Cake

Banana peanut butter cake

Peanut butter and banana go well together. Try if you don’t believe me, unless you don’t like either one. Better still, sprinkle with some sultanas or other dried fruits. But what about combining them to make a cake? Well, it’s always fun to experiment. I did that the other day to share with friends. I wasn’t too sure how it would turn out. The result? It was very moist. My friends all liked it. As for me, I think I would prefer just all banana cake. So, it really depends on individual taste. Read more

Chicken And Chinese Cabbage Stir Fry With Hot Bean Paste

Spicy chicken and Chinese cabbage stir fry

My favourite spicy stir fry is to use the Korean hot bean paste. To me, it makes any simple dish looks elaborate and delicious. My family loves Chinese cabbage. It is versatile and very easy to cook. It is very delicious raw as in kimchi, under cooked and still crunchy or over cooked and soft. I always use it to make kimchi, soup or a quick stir fry. Kimchi is my favourite. It’s very healthy and appetising. Click How To Make Korean Kimchi to learn how to make it. Read more

Heart-Shaped Pikelets With Homemade Condensed Milk

Pikelet with homemade condensed milk

Valentine’s Day is not here yet but I can start with some fun food early. I’ve just bought a heart-shaped silicon ring the other day to make heart-shaped pikelets for my family. It’s a great way to tell them that I love them. I actually enjoyed making them. Of course I get lots of hugs from everyone!

My family loves pikelets. And if you follow my blog, you probably can guess what I eat it with. Of course with my favourite homemade condensed milk!!! Oh…it was just so delicious. I put so much that it was dripping all over. Well, I had great fun licking it from my fingers. My children are not crazy like me over condensed milk. They love it with butter sprinkled with sugar over it. They don’t know what they miss…haha. Read more
