The closest thing I’ve found to my favorite at August Moon, though I’m much too lazy to bread the chicken (which I haven’t found any breading similar enough for my family’s taste, unfortunately). All my family members who have tried this absolutely love it, even my mother-in-law who dislikes most Asian food! Don’t be intimidated by the long list of ingredients. Please enjoy! 😀
This easy and great soup I found on the internet! What a find! I love it – the whole thing will take 20 minutes. Keep all the ingredients on hand for this quick and satisfying chicken noodle soup.
I LOVE Jimmy’s Kitchen in Hong Kong – not the modern restaurant that is operating now, but the old one from the 1960’s that was situated in Hong Kong Central. (The original Jimmy’s Kitchen first opened in 1928 in Hong Kong.) This is my take on a favourite dish I used to have there many moons ago – curried fish; a whole fish cooked in the pan and lightly curried. You can make this as hot as you want – I always had it HOT when I ate it there! Use any firm white fish fillets, I use panga in France, but snapper, tilapia, sea bream or even plaice would be good. You can cut the fish into smaller pieces for ease of pan frying if you wish – I just like the “whole” fish effect on my plate when I serve this! No need to serve this with anything else other than piles of steamed or boiled white rice and maybe some radish pickle, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce on the side. Adjust the heat to suit your guests or yourselves – and don’t forget the ice cold San Miguel beer!
This classic Cantonese starter is simple to make, but for real success, there are a couple of rules you need to follow. Most important: always use clean oil for your deep-frying. The resulting batter will be crisp, crunchy and light, as opposed to heavy, greasy and ‘dirty’ in flavour. And be sure to serve it immediately: this dish is best eaten piping hot.
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!!
