Homemade Shrimp Cakes

Shrimp crackers are chewy and tasty, but also very nutritious. Mixing them with minced meat can enrich the flavor and make the texture thicker. My youngest son doesn’t like eating shrimps, so in order to ensure that he doesn’t miss out on this delicious and nutritious food, I have to be a bit more thoughtful. Shrimp cakes can be obtained by fighting for them at home! 😂

Cantonese-style Water Chestnut, Sugarcane, and Lamb Stew

During the Spring Festival, with many people gathering and the freezing weather, I'm too lazy to be busy around the stove. Every time, I rely on this big pot of Cantonese-style lamb rib stew to solve the problem. A dozen pounds of meat is enough for about twenty people, it's worry-free, and makes a great impression. It always receives rave reviews! The lamb ribs are stewed until tender and fall off the bone, incredibly flavorful. The tofu skin, soaked in sauce, is soft yet chewy. The carrots are sweet and refreshing, and the water chestnuts with sugarcane add a refreshing touch. Every bite is authentic and rich Cantonese flavor. The hot pot bubbles away, the aroma filling the air – it's intoxicating! Nutritionally, it's packed with nutrients. Lamb ribs are rich in protein and iron, excellent for replenishing blood and warming the body. Angelica and angelica root remove the gamey smell, enhance the aroma, and warm the body. Hawthorn helps cut through the richness and aids digestion, while carrots and water chestnuts provide ample vitamins and dietary fiber. This pot is not only a tempting feast for the taste buds, but also full of nutritious and health-preserving ideas. When it's freezing cold, sitting around this pot and eating it together will warm your body and your heart. It is a classic Cantonese dish that combines deliciousness and health!

Chinese yam meat pie with egg

The white soft-boiled egg, with green chopped green onion and bright red wolfberry, and the golden soup make people very appetizing. The yam makes the meat pie more glutinous, the soft-boiled egg is runny and tender, and the sweet soup wraps the original flavor of the ingredients. This dish is nutritionally balanced and is especially suitable for people who need a balanced diet (such as children and the elderly).
