It only took 20 years for the lightbulb to go off! So I thought it over and realized that restaurants not only make this dish slightly saucy, their bean curd is also softer, and the meat is juicier and more tender. What I usually do with this stir-fry is cook each ingredient separately, then stir fry them together at the end, especially the pork and the five spice tofu....
Wrong. This fried chicken wings recipe is special. I remember my father used to make a tray full of wings piled high each day at our restaurant and it was never written down but rest assured that this special deep fried chicken wings recipe was in his head and he could make them in his sleep if he had to. They were pre-fried in the morning and re-fried to order throughout the day, and those mountains would turn into molehills real fast during the lunch, dinner and late night rush hours....

There was something about those ham and cheese buns that never sat well with me. Perhaps it was the vaguely rubbery-looking white cheese, or the dry, pink ham that bore a striking resemblance to that something you might find in a can. Long story short, I’ve basically NEVER eaten a ham and cheese bun from a Chinese bakery, always going for a much more wholesome coconut bun, pineapple bun, or red bean bun instead....

…Unfortunatelyyy, I’ve never been one of those people. I’ve been meaning to make it out to Hong Kong for some time now, and now that we’ve criss-crossed mainland China, hopefully my turn to taste a delicious fresh curry fish ball in the middle of a Hong Kong street with people streaming past isn’t far off. But my mother is one of those lucky people that has fond memories of eating fish ball skewers on the street and served as official taste tester....
A whole fryer chicken is far more economical and takes up less packaging than buying chicken in pieces and it doesn’t take long once you get the hang of it! What Utensils are Needed? First things first. A clean, even work surface is critical to avoid cross-contamination. I use a sturdy plastic cutting board since it’s easily sanitized and preferred over wood ones. A sharp pair of kitchen shears or a really sharp knife will cut through meat and joints easily....
