Hot Ginger Sauce Chicken

Ginger sauce chicken

My whole family loves ginger. Ginger is very warming and it’s especially welcoming in this freezing weather when temperature dropped to -7 degrees Celsius. This may not be cold to some people but it’s too cold for my Malaysian skin! I’ve been cooking soup everyday with added ginger and wine to keep warm. Apart from soup, Hot Ginger Sauce Chicken is another family favourite dish that’s very gingery and delicious. It is perfect for this cold weather and goes great with rice.

Birthday joy

It’s my birthday today…yeah!! I’m  a year older, hopefully a year wiser. It’s such a thrill to receive birthday wishes from all over the world. A friend back home sent me a triple greeting….Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day and my Birthday. He called it ‘triple happiness’. I fully agree with him. I think this has been a special and awesome season for me….great time with my friends, lots of special attention from my hubby and children and of course lots of special gifts, one of them being my new Apple computer!

Creamy Mushrooms and Spinach Stir Fry

Creamy mushroom and spinach

I love both mushrooms and spinach but didn’t know they make a lovely combination until I saw it at Authentic Food Delights by Sushma Mallya. Immediately I fell in love with the dish when I saw the ingredients. The recipe was simple and delicious. It was creamy with a beautiful mild hint of curry and spiciness. My family is not very keen on mushrooms so I enjoyed most of it. I was secretly happy….haha.

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.

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.
