Recipes with tapioca starch
A soft, sweet steamed mantou with rich brown sugar flavor, paired with a light, airy Ma Lai cake-style center. Made with yeast-raised dough and a smooth brown-sugar batter (with tapioca starch for bounce), it’s a warm, comforting treat that feels like a dim sum-style dessert you’ll want to eat straight away.
This recipe calls for savory-sweet beef rolls filled with enoki mushrooms and scallions. Thinly sliced beef is seasoned with ginger, garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper, tapioca starch, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar, then topped with lightly blanched enoki mushrooms and sliced scallions before being rolled tightly. The rolls are fried over low heat until golden brown, then topped with the remaining sauce (soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, spices, and flour) until it thickens to a glossy finish. Finally, a sprinkling of fresh sliced scallions and a dash of chili powder adds a touch of spice. The result is tender meat with a soft mushroom core and a sticky, umami-infused sauce—perfect as a party appetizer or main dish.
This tomato-cooked fish fillet dish highlights the contrast in texture between the surface of the fillet, fried to a crispy golden color, and the meat inside, which remains tender and juicy. The sweet and sour tomato sauce, slightly thickened by the tapioca starch solution, coats the fish evenly while giving it a fresh red glow. The aroma of sautéed garlic and ginger adds a warm and inviting layer of flavor, while the brisk tomato stew provides a natural freshness. Overall, this dish is practical for everyday use and easy to pair with warm rice, but requires careful marinating and frying to prevent the fish from becoming too dry, and careful stirring of the sauce to achieve the optimal consistency without clumping or being too runny.
