Easy Asian Recipes
If there’s one cooking technique that’s the heart of Cantonese cooking, it’s steaming. We’ve got dim sum, freshly steamed whole fish, tender chicken and seasonal vegetables. Steaming is what comfort food means to me because it’s the method my family uses the most. It’s easy, healthy and always delicious. In this post, I’m going to show you how to make a DIY steamer at home!
This Cantonese Steamed Pork Patty with Anchovies is a quick, 30-minute dish that’s hearty and full of savoury umami from anchovies, dried squid and shiitake mushrooms. Light, comforting and best enjoyed with rice to soak up the sauce.
Cantonese Steamed Chicken with Fermented Bean Curd (腐乳蒸雞) is one of those home dishes my dad always makes. It’s simple, comforting, healthy and the sauce that comes out after steaming makes you want endless bowls of rice.
Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai is one of my favourite dim sum dishes. Juicy pork, bouncy shrimp and a thin wonton wrapper all in one bite. The best part? You can make a whole basket at home and eat it all yourself.
Cantonese steamed fish with black bean sauce is one of those dishes that instantly reminds me of home. Light, fragrant, healthy and full of flavour, it’s a family favourite that’s easier to make than you think!
What happens when you combine two iconic asian rice dishes, Hong Kong claypot rice and Singaporean Hainanese Chicken Rice? You get something that’s comforting but also a crispy flavour bomb. Keep reading to find out how to make it!
