Hihi A quick post for the starting month of lunar new year. Been busy lately with school stuff and some other worthless things which I don't wish to mention.. Anyway Today is the 7th day of Chinese new Year.. also known as 人日 (ren ri which literally means Human Day)

Spaghetti with salmon wasabi avacado A new School term has started~ let's whip up something nice for my "rusty" brain today. (Rusty, it may seem but I've been brainstorming for topics and wacky ideas almost every other day) This is a simple to make brain boosting ( booting ) healthy recipe specially catered for hardworking student like you and me~ I came up with this recipe one hungry afternoon. You'd probably not find this weird fusion dish any where else. It only takes me half an hour to make.

Carrot Cake! Fried not baked? Recipe calls for rice flour, radish and egg but no orange carrot ? Huh? If you ever lived in the South-east Asian countries, particularly in Singapore or Malaysia,  you would probably know what kind of carrot cake I am talking about. Yes! the one we had for our breakfast. Fried cake here is very different from the awesome birthday cake you had during your celebrations. So why do we call it carrot cake when it's not baked and it does not contain any carrot?

As usual a little introduction about the food that I am going to cook. Hmmm... What exactly is a white pizza?  Is it a must to have white sauce (roux made from butter and flour) as the toppings?  Even I myself wasn't sure about the real definition of it either.. So I did some extensive research on the variations. And I found out that the only difference between a red and a white pizza is white doesn't use tomato sauce. A white pizza can be made simply from only just cheese and herbs.  Anyway without further ado Lets start me cooking show! Popeye is hungry! Healthy White Spinach Pizza 45 min

Homemade Pizza Dough Time:1 hour Been a long long time since I had a decent handmade pizza. So Today I decided to make one myself! No. I am not going eat those off-shelf factory frozen pizza. Most of them taste disgusting in my opinion. Instead of buying processed food, why not learn how to make your own pizza dough from scratch? Make your own fresh pizza!

It's Time for another Mr Durian's cooking show. Today we will be learning how to cook the Steamed Spicy Pork Ribs with Fermented Soybean Paste. This is one of my "comfort food".. Basically, I can eat this everyday and never get tired of it. The feelings I have for this dish is like how Taiwanese would crave for their (卤肉饭 lu rou fan) braised pork rice. Mmm~ Let my Imagination run wild  Sitting on top of the white steamy rice is the rich flavourful spicy cooked meat, covered by a layer of glistening oil. Mmm...The smell - The soybean paste gravy - The umami flavour! I am already starting to salivate.

Patties are usually made from ground meat packed together with large amount of salt and seasonings. Sometimes eggs are added in as binder agent to keep the mixture from falling apart. The grounded mixture will then be shaped into flat round cake for cooking or storage. In the modern days patties are often served sandwiched between split buns. As fast food companies started incorporating burgers into their menu. It then quickly became a popular global food . And who knows what junk has gone into making these fast food meat patties. Perhaps connective tissues and cartilages?

Facing heaven pepper or skyward-pointing chili pepper 指天椒  We are running out of chilli again!. Is time to make some chilli dipping sauce.

Warning: NO I am not making Chicken Soup for your Soul so this is not a collection of inspirational stories.. However you will be inspired by how Easy it is to make Mushroom Soup for your Creamless Soul Mushroom Soup For The Soul Just finish my heart warming soup and I am sharing this recipe with your now. I love to drink soup of all kinds from western chowder to asian herbal soup... and I believe most of you are too! which is why you are here to find out how to cook your own Mushroom soup.. Stop buying those processed/canned soup they are full of addictives and MSG.. Fresh Swiss Brown Mushrooms start off your day with a warm and healthy soup made from fresh mushrooms..

Good Stuff 酿蚝豉 蚝豉 (Oyster Crépinette) pronounced as haosi(好事) which can also means "good things" is a Traditional Chinese New Year dish of the Hakka Clan. Since my mum is a hakka chinese she would make this dish for reunion dinner every year. I can tell you that this dish is not something you'll want to make and eat every day.. reason is.. it requires alot of hard work + time... and not very healthy cause it uses caul fat ..

Caul Fat First! I believe most of you dont know what is Caul fat? They are use for wrapping meat like a sausage wrapper keeping the moisture in while cooking. They usually melts away after frying or baking leaving a silky smooth texture on the outside. This might not be a common cooking ingredient that you'll see in your everyday cooking show. Even if you have seen one you might not know what is it called. Needless to say, which part of the animal did it came from.

If you have read my previous posts you will know that I always like to talk a little bit about the food before showing you the recipe... like wise for today. Today we will be making   Vegetarian Keema

Ginger Milk Curd at Ji De Chi Ginger Milk pudding/curd or 姜汁撞奶 (Ginger juice Meets/Collide Milk) is a dessert originated from Guangdong, Southern Province of China. And is arguably one of the well known dessert in Hongkong. You can either have it hot or cold. First time I came to know about this dessert was about 10 years ago? But never had the chance to tried it. Until few years ago I had it at Ji De Chi  . Anyway I am going to teach you how to make this wonderful "simple" dessert at home.
