Steamed & Panfried Chicken ~ 蒸炸鸡

The lady boss of a restaurant recommended this dish to me.  She said it's something different, the chicken is steamed for a while and then lightly panfried to give it a crispy effect, so the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.  It has become a popular dish in the restaurant and because it's rather time consuming to prepare this dish, it's only available during weekends.  True to what she said, this dish is tasty and delicious.

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.

Simple Oat Cookies ~ 燕麦饼干

 Oat cookies are healthy as they are high in fibre and help in digestion which will keep one full longer.  As they release energy slowly it is best for people who have diabetic issue.  Moreover oats contain magnesium, iron and antioxidants.  These cookies that I am sharing today are very simple and easy to make but you can add a bit of flavour to them by adding chocolate chips, nuts or raisins which are more appealing to kids.
