Recipes with a spoonful of sugar.
Curry fishball is a very popular Hongkong Street food and household. Think bouncy fishballs, chewy pork skin, tender cuttlefish (and sometimes daikon)—all swimming in a rich, slightly sweet and spicy curry sauce. Every spoonful offers a mix of textures: the soft fishballs, the springy seafood, and that satisfying bite from pork skin. The curry is aromatic—packed with garlic, onions (or shallots), and classic Cantonese‑style curry spices—bringing warmth and depth without being overly heavy.
Silky smooth and softly chilled, this pudding glides across the palate like a gentle whisper. The creamy milk melds seamlessly with the delicate lightness of whipped egg white, creating a cloud-like texture that’s airy yet satisfyingly rich. A subtle sweetness and whisper of vanilla (or gentle floral notes) round out each spoonful, leaving a lingering softness that comforts and delights. Elegant and understated, this dessert feels like a tender embrace — perfect for ending a meal on a quiet, dreamy note, or for savoring whenever you crave something pure, light, and deeply soothing.
In Chengdu and Chongqing, ice jelly and hot pot are a golden pair. In summer, the crystal clear ice jelly is as smooth as white jade. It is drizzled with red sugar syrup, a spoonful of fermented glutinous rice, sprinkled with crispy peanuts, sweet and sour hawthorn slices, and a few soft and glutinous small dumplings. The moment it enters the mouth, the cool and sweet taste dispels the summer heat, and the multiple tastes jump on the tip of the tongue, refreshing from the tip of the tongue to the stomach, and one bite cures all the heat and fatigue. You can skip meals in summer, but you can never be without ice jelly. This bite of cool and sweet is an indispensable soul comfort in summer! Moreover, it is super simple to make, the required materials are easy to get at home, and the combination can be changed as you like, so you can easily reproduce this Sichuan and Chongqing summer delicacy.
A classic hearty dish from Sichuan and Chongqing's traditional outdoor banquets, "Jia Sha Rou" (stuffed pork belly with red bean paste) is a must-have for the New Year's Eve dinner table! Slices of fatty, tender pork belly are wrapped around smooth red bean paste, steamed with brown sugar and glutinous rice until soft and flavorful. It's sweet, rich, and not greasy at all, and the pork skin soaks up the broth, becoming incredibly tender and chewy. Its sweet taste is suitable for all ages, and it's always in high demand. A perfect dish for entertaining guests, whether at a traditional outdoor banquet or New Year's Eve dinner, it instantly adds a festive atmosphere to the table.
After encountering a mouthful of coconut milk jelly with a strong coconut aroma in Sabah, I turned into a kitchen "magician" and successfully reproduced this divine delicacy! I share two treasure recipes: a light version and the original rich version (mellow milky aroma). The rich version adds whipped cream and coconut milk, and the milky aroma is directly full, so dense that it feels like eating clouds. It feels sweet to the heart when you scoop a spoonful~ However, the rich version has a slightly higher calorie content. It is super happy to satisfy your cravings occasionally. If you want to eat it often, the light version is the happy choice without "belly burden"~ Follow my steps, open the coconut steadily, and the milk jelly is smooth, and you can easily get the same sweetness!
The crispy golden outer shell protects the peanuts, which steal the show with their softness and savory flavor. Each bite presents a unique combination of rich peanut flavor and the thin, crispy egg shell: the perfect balance of crunchy and soft textures. A sweet and savory aroma wafts out, evoking memories of warm, simple home-cooked snacks. A spoonful of these peanut eggs is ready to be a loyal companion for afternoon tea or a delicious dip in various casual settings, providing a familiar yet addictive taste experience.
Who says you can only eat grass when you're trying to lose weight? Look at my Vietnamese spring rolls, they're so eye-catching! The translucent rice wrappers are filled with purple cabbage, endive, shredded carrots, and plump shrimp. The colors are vibrant and they look amazing! The shrimp are a great source of protein, and the vegetables are full of dietary fiber. They're low in calories and filling. Dip them in the spicy and sour sauce and you'll feel incredibly satisfied with every bite. You can enjoy a weight-loss meal like this!
Golden rice grains are coated in a tangy and spicy sauce, garnished perfectly with seaweed flakes and chopped green onions. The first bite is a burst of tangy, spicy, and savory flavors on the tongue, the salty aroma of bacon blending perfectly with the tenderness of the egg. Each grain of leftover rice is distinct and separate, making every bite satisfying and delicious. This tastes exactly like the bowl I always order at Japanese restaurants. The portions there are pitifully small, disappearing in just a few bites. This bowl of leftover rice easily replicates the flavor, filling and substantial, offering excellent value for money.
