Quick and easy to make tender garlic shrimp

These shrimps are really easy to cook, and only take a few minutes to prepare. They are so smooth and tasty. The shrimps at home love them so much that every time they are served on the table, they stare at them and use their chopsticks to eat them very quickly. Basically, they are all gone as soon as they are placed on the plate. The empty plate rate is ridiculously high. They are simply the "general who always wins" on the table. There is no time left. Every time they are cooked, they are all gone. There is not enough to eat!

Homemade Stir-fried Springy Rice Cake

Rice cakes are a versatile culinary delight. In Sichuan and Chongqing, they're used in hot pot and can be added to rice wine-fried eggs for a unique flavor. Compared to Korean rice cakes, this Chinese version is my favorite; it's more to my taste. If Sichuan and Chongqing bacon aren't available, don't worry! Substituting fried eggs and ham (which works perfectly) creates a unique and delicious experience. The golden fried eggs, with their charred aroma and the salty, chewy ham, stir-fried with rice cakes and vegetables, create a rich and harmonious flavor. The fried rice cakes are imbued with the aroma of the ingredients. A bite of them is soft, chewy, and the salty, fragrant flavor spreads across your tongue. It may seem ordinary, but it's incredibly satisfying. I'll instantly fall in love with this simple yet delicious Chinese rice cake.

Wealth and good fortune! Cold preserved eggs

The nutritional value of preserved eggs comes mainly from the nutritional components of the preserved eggs themselves. They are rich in high-quality protein, which is unique to eggs. Every 100 grams contains about 14 grams. After being pickled in alkaline conditions, part of the protein is broken down into amino acids (such as glutamic acid), which makes the flavor more prominent and has a higher digestion and absorption rate. It can provide the body with the basic nutrients needed for tissue repair and immune function.
