Stir-fry Fish Bladder ~ 翻炒魚鰾

A simple stir-fry dish of Fish Bladder (魚鰾) with carrot, celery, shitake mushrooms and not forgetting my favourite soy bean chip/dao bao (豆包).  The dao bao tends to be very absorbent and hence I had to add in more water to the dish after I added them in, and I added them in last.  This dish goes very well with white rice and is quite popular during Chinese New Year.

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.

Kuih Bangkit ~ CNY 2010

I recently made this Chinese New Year cookie, 'Kuih Bangkit' for my daughter to  bring back to Melbourne. As Chinese New Year is barely a month away, thought it best to post it now, perhaps you may like to try it out.  These cookies are not too sweet,  with a tinge of pandan fragrance coupled with a sweet taste of coconut ...... yummy.  They do keep well if they're thoroughly baked and they melt in the mouth!
