Sweet Vinegar Pork Ribs ~ 糖醋排骨

 

This is a very simple pork rib dish and all you have to do is to marinate the ribs and place them in the rice cooker, add water to cover the ribs, and cook using the 'Cook rice' mode.   If the ribs are not tender enough after the first cooking, you can press the 'Cook rice' mode again.  Then add in the Balsamic vinegar to fine tune to taste.  This dish is very appetising to go with plain white rice.  Alternatively, you can opt to cook this dish in your wok or stew pot.

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.

Hazelnut orange mini Bundt

Upon going through my cake pans and trays I realised that I had neglected this mini Bundt pan for quite a while.  Hmmm, time to take it out and make use of it.  These mini Bundts were soft and moist with a nutty texture and weren't overly sweet, just right for breakfast or to serve for tea.  The ingredients are a slight resemblance to that for Friands.

Yoghurt Fruitcake

T is the festive season again and the all-time favourite for X'mas is undoubtedly the ubiquitous fruit cake.  This Yoghurt Fruitcake caught my eye when I was browsing through a Food and Travel magazine.  As I've never baked a fruit cake with yoghurt before, I was very eager to try.
