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.
Vegetable Bakwan offers a contrast of textures: a golden, crispy fried surface covers a soft, savory layer of vegetables (cabbage, carrots, leeks, celery), creating a balance of fresh and warm flavors. The quick mixing and frying process makes it practical as a snack or side dish, but attention must be paid to the consistency of the batter and the temperature of the oil so that the bakwan does not absorb excess oil or fail to crisp.
Tender pieces of peeled hairy melon stir-fried with rehydrated dried shrimp, garlic, ginger, and shallots, simmered in the shrimp-soaking liquid, then tossed with Chinese celery and finished with oyster sauce and salt for a savory, umami-rich side dish.
The salmon head with attractive color is roasted until golden and crispy, with the edges slightly curled up. The high temperature forces out the fish oil, leaving attractive amber lines on the skin, which is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The fresh fruit acid of lemon juice instantly penetrates into the fish meat, neutralizing the greasiness while awakening the taste buds; dip a mouthful of sesame salt, and the salty and fragrant particles burst on the tip of the tongue. Paired with a little wine and a drink with teammates, it is comfortable and satisfying. Watching teammates squint their eyes and praise "drunkenness and dreamlessness", at this moment, there is no need for gorgeous words, the happiness in the fireworks is quietly overflowing, and food and company are the most healing appearance of life.
A heart warming dish that is full of flavours, from the sweetness of the red wine, to the aromatic taste of the mixed vegetables and finally the tender oxtail that is full of collagen!
