Chinese Cabbage with Ham and Cream Sauce This is a popular dish of Beijing cuisine, which in Chinese is called 腿茸奶油津白. When preparing this at home, I often apply my own preference - a less oil-laden version however I find it equally flavorful. ...

Double Cooked Pork Slices This is a famous dish of the Sichuan cuisine. Interestingly, I have never found one Shanghainese restaurant here in Hong Kong not listing this Double Cooked or Twice Cooked Pork Slices on their menu. So a possible reason is that spicy food is also one of their favorites. Added to this, my guess is, this dish is just too simple to adapt because unlike other Sichuan foods, which require lots of spices and different types of chilies, the key ingredients for making this dish include only chili bean sauce, pork slices, green and red chili peppers. ...

Tomatoes Stew with ToFu I have bought some very meaty tomatoes, so meaty are they that two of them are enough for cooking into a pretty thick sauce for stewing. I choose stewing than stir-frying because it is not easy to keep the silken tofu in good shapes after constant stirs. But, as the tomatoes are cooked into a sauce, I can have the tofu bathed in it gently. ...
