Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings)

Although these are some work, you’ll be very proud of the results. These are those lovely, translucent dumplings you get at dim sum places. The tapioca flour and wheat starch can usually be found at good oriental food stores. These are best made in a bamboo steamer. I’ve included a recipe for a dip but you can use your own favorite dumpling sauce if you wish. This is a Madame S.T. Ting Wong recipe. Prep time includes fridge time for the shrimp mixture.

Steamed Jelly Eggs

Common Cantonese dish well-known among all families. Its taste is fluffy and tender. This dish is simple and cheap. Both suitable for the old and kids. Try it — You can add what you like inside the eggs such as meat, shrimps, mushrooms or anything else.

Sweet and Sour Pork

The recipe is from New York’s best Chinese Chef, Chun Lee. Its very authentic, easy to make, and tastes fantastic.

Pork Cantonese

A wonderful pork dish, inspired by a Chinese Restaurant Meal. It can also be made with beef sirloin. But I have found the pork to be more tender and flavorful.

Tomato Beef Stir Fry

This is an American-Chinese food. It’s sweet and tangy — if you like sweet and sour flavours, this is great. It’s easy to make for quick dinners, and has vegetable, meat, and rice all in one.
