Airfried whole leg of chicken ~ 空氣炸全雞腿

The Air Fryer does a great job of cooking chicken with a crispy top and juicy tender meat. They take only minutes to prepare and are very versatile. If you want to take them to the next level, marinate and keep them in a ziplock bag, pop them into the fridge overnight. I like the golden crisped exterior and you can switch up the spices to change the flavours, whether you want them to be slightly spicy or sweetish with a bit of honey. Serve this with some salad and dinner is done!.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago. So I got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it. I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result. The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too. Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees. It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.
