Pictures of Chinese food,Many of delicious Chinese food pictures,including popular dishes, snacks and festive food and Chinese ingredients, as well as cooking equipment.
There’s something incredibly comforting about baking on a Sunday afternoon. 1st of all, the smell of baking perfumes my full home with sweet and buttery aromas; secondly, there exists no far better method to beat my Monday blues than with homemade baked goods and start off off the busy work week on the right foot. So, that was exactly what I did this past Sunday afternoon–making these cute-looking mini raspberry muffins.
I do not like my muffins large due to the fact I could by no means finish the entire point and usually wind up wasting the food. When it comes to baking, I love every thing mini–mini egg tarts, mini tartlets, mini cupcakes, etc. (My obsession with tiny baked goods also explains my petit fours fetish in Paris recently.) I usually opt for a light breakfast in the morning so mini muffins fit my bill
I personally love my raspberry muffins images incredibly very much. I typically shoot with an Aperture of 3.2-3.5, but currently, I experimented having a very much lower setting. All these pics were shot with an Aperture of 1.8-2.two; I thought they look wonderful and somewhat dreamy. Anyway, if not for the taste of these mini raspberry muffins, I hope you get pleasure from the pictures I presented.
I am not a lot of a baker, but I love baking banana nut muffins that perfumed my home with the sweet aroma of bananas along with the unmistakably something-is-baking buttery fragrance. Banana nut muffins are possibly a single on the most common muffins–not to mention utterly delicious.

Tau Hu Ky, or fried shrimp wrapped with bean curd skin is really a must-have appetizer for me whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants. The reasons are really obvious:
1) I love bean curd items, specially bean curd skins;
2) I live to eat shrimp (check my recipe index and you’ll know what I mean);
3) Bean curd skins shrimp deep fried to oily golden glory, need I say far more?
I believe Tau Hu Ky is the Vietnamese adaptation of a similar Chinese appetizer 鲜虾腐皮卷 or fried shrimp rolls which are commonly obtainable as dim sum.
Although I adore the Chinese version (come with a black vinegar dipping sauce), I also adore Vietnamese Tau Hu Ky. The primary difference may be the texture of the filling: Tau Hu Ky uses ground shrimp emulsion instead of chopped shrimp. Egg whites are added to the filling to make it fluffy and light…
Now, I am calling your attention to that little basil leaf on the plate! That’s my first ever herb garden in a pot. Straight from Home Depot, I hope this pretty plant will flourish in my hands. The idea of being able to pluck the leaves for garnishing and cooking is too exciting.Anyway, here could be the recipe for Tau Hu Ky, adapted from my Vietnamese Cha Tom hors d’oeuvres.
Today, I wanted to introduce you towards the sweet and adorable Shao of FriedWontons4U. Twitter has turn out to be a fantastic platform to discover new food blogs and I discovered FriedWontons4U a few months ago. FriedWontons4U chronicles Shao’s cooking and travel adventures. Shao came from Guangzhou—the birthplace of exquisite Cantonese cuisine—so we decided on shrimp dumplings or har gow (虾饺), arguably the most well-known dim sum ever! Please welcome Shao to Rasa Malaysia and do leave her your comments. Her shrimp dumplings/har gow look absolutely inviting and yummy!
If there was ever an official mascot for dim sum, har gow” would undoubtedly be a strong contender. What’s not to love about? Pump and juicy shrimp just barely visible through its clear dumpling skin, what a tease to the senses. A dim sum meal without it would not be complete for me. Growing up I was lucky enough to live within walking distance to many Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia, and most of my Sunday afternoons were spent eating dim sum. With all my years of eating har gow, I never tried making it until early this year. This recipe is usually a combination from what I have learned from watching how my mom and dad makes it, and how my uncle makes it…(get Shao’s shrimp dumplings or har gow Recipe after the jump)
You’ll find commonly two kinds of filling you would locate in har gow.
Variety one: A lump of shrimp meat commonly with mince size pieces of bamboo.
Variety two: Minced shrimp combined with either bamboo or water chestnut.
I prefer filling variety two. Whenever you bite into it, the elasticity of the minced shrimp mixture is often a nice contrast against the transparent skin. Do not worry about acquiring a bamboo steamer in the event you don’t have 1. Merely line a regular steamer or a plate with either napa cabbage or thin slices of carrots.

This might not be the perfect dish for weight watchers due to the fact it involves deep drying the chicken; however it certain can be a great fare to possess whenever you experience like indulging.

So whenever you sense like giving yourself a deal with, just try out this easy recipe with elements you’ll commonly have at home.

Other than BBQ, my summer time favorite has got to be shaved ice—a thirst quencher and lovely dessert for the hot summer days. Shaved ice is quite common in Malaysia; known as IceKacang (in Penang) or basically ABC elsewhere in Malaysia, it’s a famous dessert frequently sold by street vendors. In a hot and humid country like Malaysia, nothing beats the icy cold and pleasant dessert that soothes the throat and cools down the body. Plus, everybody loves the sweet-tasting shaved ice, with several toppings for instance red beans, creamy sweet corn, grass jelly, attap chee (palm nuts), etc. You possibly can also add ice cream, fruits, peanuts, and/or raisins…
The version I produced this afternoon may be the most common ones discovered in Penang. I would have utilised some palm sugar or gula melaka to flavor the ice kacang but I ran out of it. As a result, I used dark brown sugar instead, and added a little red coloring as ice kacang is generally red in color.
Shaved ice has certainly turn out to be much more well-liked within the United States now, with Chinese (Taiwanese) dessert shops sprouting all over Chinatown or Asian suburbs. It’s a great alternative to the likes of frozen yogurt, ice cream, or sorbet. Try it out!

eochew Porridge Series (潮州粥): Preserved Turnip with Eggs (菜圃蛋)
Its hard to believe but this time of year, it does get rather cold even here in sunny Southern California. When it is chilly, I love foods that keep me warm—hot pots, soups, or clay pot dishes. I need the extra warmth to get me via the winter blues…I am a tropical island kind of girl.
The recent guest post of Teochew Lo Ack inspired me€”Teochew porridge and its scrumptious side dishes may properly be the ideal remedy for me…
Porridge (²¥/稀饭) can be a popular Chinese mainstay. Known also as congee or “jook” (Cantonese pronunciation), porridge is consumed all more than China, Southeast Asia, and wherever Chinese are. My late parents were particularly partial to porridge and I remember vividly my childhood days when my father would take my mother and I to Teochew porridge restaurants in Georgetown, Penang. There was one that we would always go back to—an unassuming late night porridge joint that served only porridge and well over 20 side dishes to choose from. My father would slurp bowl after bowl of plain rice porridge with dishes including fried eggs with preserved turnip (菜圃蛋), soy sauce eggs (»·è), Teochew stewed fish (our favorite!), braised bean curd, preserved vegetable with pork belly (梅œ), salted duck eggs (咸鸭蛋), and the sharp smelling fermented bean curd (腐乳)—humble and modest dishes that pair so flawlessly well with porridge.
Please welcome My Cooking Hut (please check out her curry laksa post) back as she guest posts yet one more droolsome dish: Japanese teriyaki chicken and shares her teriyaki chickenrecipe with us.
I believe I don’t need to elaborate as well a lot what Teriyaki Chicken is. This ever so popular Japanese dish is really well recognized is any component from the globe. The word, teriyaki is a combination of two Japanese words “teri” and “yaki.” Teri means luster and yaki indicates grill or broil.
Teriyaki sauce can be bought in a bottle at any supermarkets. The leading brand is possibly Kikkoman that I know of. For me, I prefer to mix the sauce from scratchit tastes much better I reckon. It’s not at all complicated to generate teriyaki sauce. The key ingredients are mirin, sake, soya sauce, and sugar. Some recipes add grated gingerâ(get teriyaki chickenRecipe after the jump)
For Teriyaki chicken, I absolutely think chicken thighs suit the most. I choose chicken thighs more than chicken breasts. I think the meat tends to be a lot more succulent, firm and smooth. I chose to debone the chicken thighs so that it’s much less messy to eat. Teriyaki chicken is normally eaten with boiled rice or it could also be served around a bed of salad. Either way is fantastic! It’s truly quick to produce this dish–probably 20 minutes or so.
Recently, I am trying to incorporate iron-rich foods into my diet. This beef teriyaki is one of the uncomplicated beef dishes that I’ve made.
There’s really no must introduce teriyaki as this is likely a single of probably the most well-known imports from Japanese cuisine, other than sushi and tempura. (Previously, My Cooking Hut shared her chicken teriyaki recipe on Rasa Malaysia.)
I cheated and pan-fried my beef on a skillet (traditionally, it must be grilled for a deeper and smokier flavor), and then lacquered the sweet and savory yakitori sauce on top the beef prior to serving. This beef teriyakiRecipe not probably the most authentic way to make it, but it is one that’s best for my busy schedules lately.
