Pumpkin Mochi With Pumpkin Filling

Most sweet rice desserts only use sweet rice flour (note: “sweet rice flour” is made from sticky rice), but for mochi, the dough needs to keep its shape, so a little cornstarch or potato starch is also required. And as far as filling is concerned, you can go with what you like. This buttery pumpkin filling is pretty awesome, but I know a lot of people love red bean filling....

Ranch Potatoes

Baby potatoes are tossed in ranch seasoning and baked until they’re tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. You’ll Need Only 4 Ingredients Potatoes: Baby potatoes have thin skins that don’t require peeling and are less starchy than other spuds, but Yukon golds or russet potatoes will work too as long as they are cut to the same size.

Scallion Beef Stir Fry Chinatown Favorite

Alas, even some restaurants in Chinatown don’t cook this dish right, and instead you get a bit of a soggy and oily dish where you know the person behind the wok was just going through the motions. Judy’s father, a retired construction worker, found a place that used to do this beef stir-fry justice, and he went there every day for lunch whenever he worked in the area. My father’s last restaurant actually did not have scallion beef on the menu, but he cooked it frequently for dinner for us after the place closed....

Seasoned Soy Sauce Chinese Ingredients

In this quick article, we’ll talk about what it is, how it’s used, and how to find it at your local Chinese market. What Is Seasoned Soy Sauce? There are many different kinds of soy sauce that may have additional seasonings to enhance their flavor. For instance, Indonesian sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) is flavored with galangal, star anise, and other aromatics. The seasoned soy sauce we’re talking about here, however, is Chinese seasoned soy sauce (蒸鱼豉油, zhēng yú chǐ yóu), which is meant to be used in Cantonese/Southern Chinese cooking for steamed fish and seafood dishes like our Cantonese Steamed Fish Fillets, our Steamed Whole Fish, or Steamed Scallops with Glass Noodles....

Spicy Stir Fried Rice Cakes With Sichuan Peppercorns

What Are Chinese Rice Cakes? Rice cakes are one of my favorite ingredients. If you’ve never had them, they’re basically little starchy, chewy disks or ovals made from sticky rice. I like to describe them as a kind of Chinese gnocchi. They can be added to soups, hot pot, and stir-fries, and I’ve always had them prepared in a select few ways. Growing up, we had sort of a “standard” rice cake stir-fry, usually made with pork, mushrooms, and vegetables....

Stir Fried Anchovies And Peanuts

Korean cooks make a version of this dish that is on the sweeter side, but I prefer this Chinese version, which is salty and savory—and very addictive, if dried anchovies are your cup of tea. Finding Dried Anchovies My first encounter with this dish was about 35 years ago, while working in the garment industry as a production coordinator. My two Taiwanese co-workers, Jessica and June, often brought this as part of their lunch....

Super Easy Patriotic 4Th Of July Layered Jello

Thai Roasted Chicken Thighs Recipe

While the oven often sits in exile throughout the summer (because let’s face it…it does heat up the house a fair bit, and who wants that when it’s 96 degrees and humid outside?), fall/winter is the time to really put it to work.
