I have tried various recipes for beef and broccoli but this one works best and is easiest one for me to prepare in very little time. Serve over steamed rice for a quick weekday dinner without the preservatives of a boxed microwavable entree. I usually get ribeye or filet mignon strips, so that it is not so tough when I try to chew the meat. The local grocery store should sell them already precut in prepackaged trays. If you want some spice, you can add pepper flakes to the sauce for added flavor. For onion lovers, you can also sautee some onions on the side and add it to the mix for additional variety in your dish.
When salmon is steamed with fresh ginger, fish sauce, and premium rice wine, it takes on a creamy texture that cannot be achieved with any other cooking method. As a final step, hot, garlic-flavored oil is poured over the salmon to sear in the juices. From the Wild Ginger Restaurant, Seattle WA.

This is a traditional favorite in Hong Kong, found in most dessert houses and revered for its heartwarming and revitalizing properties. It can just be as easily prepared at home, and is sure to warm even the coolest of days (though it’s popular all year-round). Yellow, red, and purple sweet potatoes are commonly found in the market, though yellow ones are ideal given its richer flavor. The amount of ginger may be adjusted according to level of tanginess desired. Red dates are natural sweeteners that add more flavor (optional). Raw slab sugar is commonly used in Southeastern Chinese desserts, and can be readily found in Asian groceries. The slab sugar is ideal for this recipe as it not only enhances the taste but also adds a nice golden color. A light, non-creamy, easy and healthy dessert that works great for any time of the day… and especially when you are down with a cold.
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!
