Dumplings: Jiao Zi/Gyoza
饺子

In the supermarket, they’re all thin but when I’m at [...]

Luckily I had all the ingredients to make a family recipe of pork bone soup. It’s all nice and cozy – relaxing on [...]

瑶柱蛋炒饭
This is my favorite type of fried rice. The Cantonese make this to perfection. Ahhh… I’m already craving for it again. The authentic recipe calls for egg whites only but I always add the yolks in; egg is egg.
Oh yeah, in Chinese culture, fried rice is usually made with leftover rice from the previous night. [...]

Green Onion Pancakes
葱油饼
I’ve been eating green onion pancakes since I was born. I don’t like how restaurants make them so oily and burnt. I like the way my mother makes them. You can also buy them pre-made (frozen) in Chinese supermarkets but they are very thin and do not taste very good.

3.75 cups flour, sifted
