Recipes with pepper
Salt and Pepper Calamari is a crisp, punchy squid dish coated in a 1:1 flour-and-cornstarch mix, fried until lightly browned, then tossed through sizzling minced garlic and chopped parsley. The finish is all about the bold kick of freshly ground Sichuan pepper, black pepper, and salt—fragrant, spicy, and seriously moreish.
I’ve shared shrimp cakes with pork before. This time, I’m mixing fish with shrimp, which has a more similar texture and richer nutrition.
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! 😂
This dish of "Braised Pork Ribs and Potatoes" is simmered over low heat with rock sugar and a variety of sauces, giving the ribs a bright red color and tender meat. At the same time, the potatoes that are fried until slightly golden absorb the rich sauce, making them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a rich taste. The finished dish exudes the sweet aroma of sauce and the fresh fragrance of onions and garlic, and is very delicious when eaten with rice; however, the simmering time must be properly controlled, otherwise the ribs or potatoes will lose their ideal taste due to being heated for too long.
Imagine a steaming hot skillet arriving at your table — the air alive with sizzle and warmth. At the centre, a cloud of fluffy rice nestles beneath a melting pad of butter, while thin ribbons of beef begin to sear and caramelise at the edges. As you stir, the grains take on a glossy coat of savory sauce, mingling with bursts of sweet corn and the faint crunch of scallions. The result is a hearty, comforting platter that crackles with heat — smoky beef, buttery rice, and fragrant pepper blending into a satisfying harmony. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that still feels indulgent and fun, it’s a simple dish with a dramatic presentation that warms from the skillet up.

A dusting of cracked black pepper cuts through the indulgence, adding a sharp, aromatic spark — a counterpoint that teases the palate before the next decadent bite. With the first taste, you sense the contrast: crisp and tender, sweet and savory, indulgent yet balanced — a dish that feels luxurious, comforting, and effortlessly elegant all at once.
