Happy New Year, everyone! My first post for 2015 is 'Wife Biscuit' aka 'Lo Por Paeng', a soft and flaky pastry with winter melon filling which is a very popular delicacy in Hong Kong. The ones that I find here are not the same as their flaky counterparts, instead they are crispy and thin. I've been surfing the internet for a recipe and I was very happy when I stumbled upon a Youtube video from SiuKitchen . The video is in Cantonese and she gives very detailed steps on how to make these flaky pastries. The pastries were good and stayed flaky and soft for three days in an airtight container. I needn't have to reheat them in the oven toaster. Recipe for Wife Biscuit (Lo Por Paeng) 老婆餅 Ingredients Filling 120 gm candied winter melon, finely chopped 5 ml oil 15 gm caster sugar 40 gm koh fun 50 ml water Method Add sugar to the chopped winter melon, mix in the oil, water and mix lightly together.

This is a super comforting home-cooked dish which requires only a few ingredients. An easy to go recipe, I added minced pork to give the dish more volume. Kids as well as adults will love the silken smooth egg interspersed with bits of juicy meat. Great to serve over hot rice! Steamed egg with minced pork ~ 猪肉蒸水蛋 Ingredients 150 gm minced pork 2 chicken eggs - 100 ml without shell 150 ml boiled, cooled water (Ratio is 1:1.5) 1/4 tsp salt sesame oil, pepper light soya sauce to taste Method Season the minced pork with some salt. Whisk the eggs with water, strain it onto a plate. Mix in the seasoned minced pork. Remove any air bubbles. When the water in the steamer is boiling, place the plate of eggs onto the steamer plate, close lid and turn the heat to the lowest. Steam for about 14 to 15 mins., check after 5 mins. Jiggle the plate, if centre is wobbly, it's done. Remove from steamer, garnish with some spring onions, light soya sauce,
