Beef and Peppers (Stir Fry)
Beef was a scarce commodity in Taipei dishes when I was there. Therefore, it was used sparingly, and the flavor was intensified when served. This recipe comes close to capturing the remembered taste…
Ying Yang Fried Rice
The unique Ying Yang design is for presentation. Just before serving, combine both sides to mix shrimp and chicken in a pool of sweet tangy tomato sauce with creamy eggy goodness. Heaven on earth!
Soft Tofu With Chilli & Spring Onion
I always know what to order when this dish is on the menu. I found a top recipe in a book named “The food of China” by Murdoch Books. I love it because it is healthy, low in carbs, sipmle to create and it is authentic. This recipe sets off the soft, cool smoothness of the tofu by adding a hot, highly spiced dressing. Great for lunch by itself or dinner served with rice and steamed greens. Wine Match: A German riesling ( Dr Loosen Dry Riesling is great) or a Spanish Tempranillo or Rioja.
Chinese-Style Ribs With Guava Barbecue Sauce
This is one of Steve Raichlen’s recipes from: Steve Raichlen’s Favorite Grills, Memorial Day Cookout, Game Day which appeared in F&W Magazine in June, 2006 edition.The guava barbecue sauce can be made ahead & can stay in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The sauce can be used for ribs or chicken; it tastes great!
Fried Rice Stuffing With Sweet Harbin Sausage
Every year my family has a different regional theme for our holiday meal. These themes are entirely decided by the whims of my father. Several years ago, my family was celebrating Thanksgiving with some friends from Hong Kong, so we decided to have all the traditional foods done in a Chinese Style. This recipe came from my mother’s hairstylist’s mother, who wanted her children to share holiday traditions that were Chinese and American.
