Chinese Pancakes with Spring Onions and Dried Shrimps

Dried Squid in Chili Paste – Korean Style
The key ingredients for this recipe are simply dried squids and Korean chili paste. They are among the edibles I brought back from my last visit to Seoul. With some grated fresh garlic, I have them stir fried into an appetizer, a spicy small eat. ...
Fried Tofu Sandwiches
So called this is a sandwich, but the spread is neither mayonnese with egg nor butter with ham, instead it is ground beef filled in tofu slices. Making the fried sandwiches is more or less the same as usual sandwiches only that the tofu have to be coated by egg wash and cooked by pan frying. ...
Hand-Pulled Chicken with Cucumber
The Chinese way of getting a chicken (or part of it) cooked for this hand-pulled chicken (手撕雞) is mostly done by boiling, poaching or steaming.

Turnip or Radish Cake with Chinese Sausages
This turnip cake or radish cake (Law Bak Gou 蘿蔔糕) is not only popular during the Chinese New Year but it is also one of the famous dim sum here in Hong Kong, served either steamed or pan fried throughout the year.
I particularly love to make this cake during winter when the turnips are most juicy and sweet. Like the Water Chestnut Cake, this can also be prepared in advanced and be stored in fridge for 1 to 2 weeks, allowing me to serve my family and friends any time they are ready to be my guests during the holidays. Happy!
