Chinese Pork Dumplings
Fill store-bought wonton wrappers with a flavorful pork mixture for authentic-tasting dumplings at home.
Florns' Chinese Steamed Fish
An easy, fast, and yummy fish dish that my family absolutely loves. This is my mom from China's recipe. Serve with rice.
Homemade Wonton Soup
This is a recipe I have perfected on my own through the years. I am one who never measures, so take the measurements as a guide, not as law. This recipe is one that my family members beg me to make all the time! Enjoy!
Chinese-Style Baby Bok Choy with Mushroom Sauce
This is a delicious dish. It is an authentic Chinese recipe that I use for my cooking. Baby bok choy and mushroom are the two main ingredients.
Pineapple Tarts
Delightful little tarts with pineapple filling and a cross on the top.
Anko (Sweet Red Bean Paste)
The paste is used to hold together pastries, cakes, and other dishes that come from Japan, most commonly desserts.
Korean Tteokguk (Rice Cake Soup)
This is a traditional dish enjoyed by many--if not all--Koreans during the New Year's and Lunar New Year holidays. Although there wasn't a lot of time for cooking or eating, I got to experience a semi-instant tteokguk for New Year's Day thanks to a good friend of mine. Garnish with green onions; add mandu (dumplings) or thin slices of beef if you like. Serve hot, as rice cakes will get soggy over time.
Dong Po (Chinese Pork Belly)
Named after an ancient Chinese statesman, poet and gourmand of the Song Dynasty, the pork belly is cooked three different ways, rendering the meat succulent, tender and very flavorful. (If you can't find pork belly, ask the butcher; it is what bacon is before it is cured and sliced.)
Lunar New Year Peanut Cookies
The dough for these addictive, delicate cookies (known as hua sheng bing in Mandarin) begins in the food processor, but you'll want to finish it by hand to keep it from becoming oily. For extra peanut flavor, use unrefined or semi-refined peanut oil, which smells and tastes nuttier. Cookies keep up to 3 days chilled in an airtight container, layers separated by waxed paper, or frozen up to 3 months.
Steamed Fish with Ginger
If you like fish or even anything about Chinese food you'll love this recipe.
Chef John's Chinese Scallion Pancakes
These fun-to-make flatbreads are a common fixture on menus in China, and while they all feature the same few ingredients, they come in a variety of thicknesses. The thinner you make these, the crispier they'll be, but you won't get that nice, layered, oniony inside. On the other hand, if you make them too thick, they can be a little doughy inside, so I try to shoot for something in between.
Colorful Korean Dumplings (Mandu)
These colorful Korean dumplings are fall in a pocket. Vibrant-hued juice lends color to the skins, and veggies and tofu pack a nutritional punch.
