Garam Masala Turmeric Chicken ~ 印度香辛料黄姜鸡


This aromatic Garam Masala Turmeric Chicken is tasty and easy to prepare. I cooked it semi-dry so that the chicken will be infused with the flavours from the incredible sauce and  makes the chicken more delicious.  It looks spicy but it's not and kids can also partake in this.  You can serve this with bread or white rice and I chose to serve this with roti paratha.

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.

Braised pork tendons with pork belly ~ 红烧猪筋

 Pork tendons are a great source of protein which is essential for muscle repair, tissue regeneration and overall bodily functions. High in collagen and glucosamine and chondroitin they help to support joint and skin health and muscle maintenance. Low in fat, rich in carbohydrates and trace elements, they have nutritional characteristics of high calcium, high protein and no cholesterol.  Tasteless by nature like sea cucumber, and being tough they need to be slow cooked like braising and simmering to make them tender and release their collagen like in stews to create a rich flavour.
