Cantonese style blanched lettuce

Cantonese style blanched lettuce is very popular because it is simple to make but can highlight the delicious taste. The "blanching" method uses boiling water or soup to quickly cook the lettuce, which retains its fresh taste and sweet juice to the greatest extent. The key is seasoning. Soy sauce, oyster sauce and a little sugar are added to bring out the freshness, and then hot oil is poured to enhance the aroma. The salty and fresh sauce blends with the sweetness of the lettuce, with rich layers without being heavy. It has a refreshing taste, can balance greasy dishes, and let people taste the original flavor of vegetables.

Chicken with Korean spices

This Korean-style chicken features chicken pieces that are deep-fried until golden brown, then coated in a signature Korean sauce—a combination of soy sauce, mirin, garlic, sesame oil, corn syrup, sugar, and dried chili flakes—that imparts a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor. The texture is tantalizing: the chicken is crispy on the outside, but the sauce layer remains slippery and rich. The aromas of garlic and sesame oil blend together beautifully, while a sprinkling of fresh scallions adds freshness and a pop of color. This dish is the perfect blend of bold Korean flavors and the familiarity of fried chicken—perfect as a special snack or a fun main course.

The steamed presentation makes this dish light and healthy, but requires about 15 minutes of marinating and exactly 10 minutes of steaming to ensure optimal absorption of the spices and prevent overcooking the fish.

Hong Kong Style Pineapple Bun

I never thought about making pineapple buns myself, in fact, I never thought I could do it. As for why I do this, of course it’s because of my baby son😅 The crispy pineapple skin, the soft sweet bun, and every bite has a light butter aroma. The recipe with less sugar and less oil makes this "evil" food feel a bit refreshing 😅
