Posted Mar 24, 2024 Whenever I go to a famous “cheesecake” restaurant, I either order chocolate cheesecake or Oreo cheesecake. So, naturally I had to create a recipe for a no bake Oreo cheesecake that tastes just as delicious as the restaurant version but made in a fraction of the time. This no bake Oreo cheesecake is irresistibly rich and creamy. It’s made from scratch (minus the Oreos obviously), meaning there’s no cool whip in this recipe at all....
Posted May 01, 2017, Updated Jul 06, 2024 Breakfast is, hands down, my favorite meal of the day. I think it’s because, in my house, during breakfast peanut butter is always the star of the show.

This recipe is no exception, and the question we kept coming back to was whether or not to employ a certain ingredient––mayonnaise. A traditional Pork Sung Bun is made with a milk bread base, and a thin layer of mayonnaise is spread on top. That’s what allows the pork sung (basically a mild form of shredded pork jerky) to adhere to the top of the bun. One of my concerns was that mayonnaise is made with oil and eggs, requiring it to be kept refrigerated in order to stay fresh....

Different Names for a Favorite Recipe There are lots of English names for this dish, like “squid stir-fry with sour vegetables,” “squid stir-fry with pickled vegetables,” or “squid stir-fry with salted vegetables.” All of these names are accurate, but it really depends on the background of the Chinese person translating the name. In Chinese, the most recognizable name is suān cài chǎo yóu yú, 酸菜炒魷魚 (Mandarin) which translates to “sour vegetable stir-fried squid....

What is Sweet and Sour Sauce? While there are many variations, sweet and sour sauce is generally a translucent, sweet, and tangy Chinese sauce thickened with starch. You can use it either in Chinese sweet and sour sauce dishes or as a dipping sauce for fried foods. (Or for any other creative uses you can think of in your kitchen!) But not all sauces are created equal. I’m sure many of you have had pale-colored sauces that tasted mostly like ketchup, or bright neon red sauces loaded with food coloring....
In fact, come to think of it, I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone who claims to not like sweet red bean filling.

What Is Tamari? Like soy sauce, Tamari is a Japanese sauce/condiment made from fermented soybeans. However, while soy sauce is usually fermented with wheat or wheat flour, tamari is fermented with little to no wheat. Tamari originated as a by-product of miso (Japanese fermented soybean paste) production. While it may contain no wheat at all, some tamaris do contain trace amounts, so if avoiding gluten due to an allergy, always check the ingredients on the label and make sure to use tamari labeled “gluten-free....

I’d never really heard of it before coming to Beijing, but apparently, the story goes that the holiday commemorates the suicide of ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan. Supposedly, Qu was banished for opposing his king, wrote a lot of famous poetry about the experience, and when his king’s capital city was later captured, he drowned himself in the Miluo River. It’s a bit of a downer, but nowadays, the holiday is just an excuse to take a couple days off, race dragon boats, and eat a lot of sticky rice....
The first time I tried tiger skin peppers was at a Sichuan restaurant with a vegan friend of mine who loves spicy food. It was definitely love at first bite, and it reminded me very much of the Spanish tapas, pimientos de padrón, which uses the mild padrón pepper, pan-fried until blistered and served with sea salt. Funny how two cultures think alike. Long green hot peppers are the peppers of choice for “tiger skin peppers”, along with Chinese black vinegar (we use the Chinkiang brand....
