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.

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.
