Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli ) With Oyster Sauce

Very quick and delicious preparation for gai lan or kai lan. Gai lan is sometimes referred to as Chinese broccoli. The stalks are thinner than regular broccoli and as a bonus you also get to eat beautiful yellow gai lan flowers that are often bundled together. This dish is often served at dim sum restaurants. Cooking time is very, very quick and should not be overcooked.

Chilli Crusted Chicken Noodles

This NEVER goes wrong, is quick, easy and healthy. On the table in 15 minutes. Even my conservative and fussy 16 yr old brother in law loves it. Flavour is amazing! (am drooling just writing the recipe!) Just wanted to mention that the chilli powder used is Australian chilli powder (ie hot stuff) not the milder variety used in making US/Mexican chilies!!

Cantonese Fried Rice

This delicious fried rice is a nice change of pace for leftover meat and veggies. It’s good made with your choice of ham, pork, or grilled chicken. I like to put the rice together early in the day then simply reheat it at suppertime. It’s already-tasty flavor seems to only improve with time!

Char Siew Puffs (Char Siew Sow) – Dim Sum

I have not tried this recipe yet, but hopefully will make this soon as I love Char Siew Sow! Recipe found on internet – Jo’s Bakery. Prep time includes 30mins chilling time for the dough. NOTE – this recipe is not really authentic as the fat used in traditional Chinese pastry is usually lard instead of butter.
