Almond Chicken
This is one of my favorite Cantonese dishes. I got this from an Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook that I’ve had and loved for years. The original recipe called for deep frying, which you can certainly do, I just stir fry it.
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…
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.
Bird Flu Curry Powder
This is an adaption of a Malay Chinese spice recipe which is “guaranteed” to keep the Bird Flu away from those who use it. I doubt it works but it is sure mighty tasty. Good for poultry and fish dishes.
Ma Po Tofu
Looks abit like mush by the end of it, but tasstes pretty good. Substitute equal amounts of pork, if wanted.
