Egg Waffles or Gai Daan Jai

Popular street food in Hong Kong. These are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Gai Daan Jai (Tsai) means Little Chicken Eggs. Other names include Puffe, Bubble Waffle, Eggettes, Egg Puffs and I am sure there are other names. Served for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Either served flat or rolled with fruit in the center. You must have a special egg waffle pan to make these. You can find a nice one at Williams Sonoma.

Steamed Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf With Sweet Chinese Pork Sausa

I used to go for dim sum at a wonderful asian restaurant, and would buy about three of these small bamboo steamers packed full of this unbelievable flavorful rice. I went home experimented and figured out the recipe. Absolutly delicious, and is the closest thing to authentic chinese home cooking I have eaten to date. (You need a Large Bamboo steamer for this recipe)

Lobster Cantonese

From Madame Wong’s Long-life Chinese Cookbook. Have all your ingredients ready to go. After the lobster is cooked, it goes quick. Also, the egg is part of the original recipe, but feel it can be left out.
