It is called lǎo chōu (老抽) in Chinese, which means, “old soy sauce.” By contrast, in Chinese cooking, “regular” soy sauce is actually known as light soy sauce, or shēng chōu (生抽)....

Over the course of your weekend indulgences, you’ve probably started looking for new dishes you haven’t tried before–perhaps you’ve had a chance to sample fried duck tongue (I kid you not), chicken feet, or stewed beef tripe. Or…maybe not. Steamed beef short ribs with black pepper (pronounced, “ngau zhe gwot” in Cantonese) is a much tamer dish than duck tongue and chicken feet, but just as lesser known. Fortunately, it’s not only tasty but also very easy to make at home....
Every time our cousins visit from Buffalo, we have dim sum on the last day of their visit, and we ogle the seating host have a lovely meal before they head home.

Judy covered the history and the story behind the Dragon Boat Festival in our Cantonese Style Zongzi recipe post last year, so I won’t repeat the details here, except for the fact that dragon boat races started as people paddled out in boats with beating drums to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.

Did you know that the turnip is a cruciferous vegetable, and not just another root vegetable? Yep, it’s healthy and definitely shouldn’t be relegated as a starchy filler.
