Thursday, January 24th, 2008Homestyle Tofu
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007Otherwise known as Jia Chang Dou Fu 家常豆腐, this dish seems popular all over China although I think it may have originated in Sichuan province.
Ingredients:
Tofu /Dou Fu 豆腐
Red Bean Paste
Lots of oil
Capsicum
Spring Onion
Ginger
Garlic
Starch
Soy Sauce
Chicken Stock Powder
Finely Sliced Pork
Notes: I found the best Tofu to use is a firm one, not too moist so that the pieces stay together when Frying. You can add fresh chilli or chilli oil to give it some punch or you can buy spicy redbean paste.
CocaCola Chicken
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007I always liked to write on my blog, but recently nothing has really happened that is note worthy or those things that have I don’t wish to immortalise on the intermaweb. Nonetheless I thought I’d share with you on a semi-regular basis a new “hobby” of mine.. besides drinking.. Chinese cuisine.
Cooking Chinese food is actually quite easy given the right ingredients and knowhow. For those of us actually living in Mainland China or any of the other Chinas, learning how to ask for and purchase said ingredients can be half the challenge so I’ll try to paraphrase my recipes in Chinese to make life easier.
That said, I thought I’d start with a repost (because I’m lazy) from a previous blog of mine, Cocacola Chicken.
I like simple home cooked Chinese food. This is a tasty dish popular in China which I like because you just can’t screw it up no matter how drunk/stupid you are. (Just remember to turn off the gas when you’re finished)
Disclaimer: I’m no chef. I don’t know the correct terminology for what I’m going to describe here. But as they say in New Zealand..
She’ll be right mate. (more…)
