I always steamed sea bass after buying it before. Today, I made a tender tofu and sea bass stew that was even more flavorful and delicious than steamed. The whole family raved about how fresh, fragrant, and tender it was. This tender tofu and sea bass stew features sea bass and tofu as the main ingredients: the fish pieces are marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, pepper, scallions, and ginger until fragrant and flavorful, then simmered in a clay pot with pan-fried tofu until slightly golden brown. Onions, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns (with a touch of spicy chili peppers) bring out a rich and savory aroma. The texture is tender and smooth, and the broth is perfect with rice—a hot and satisfying meal for the whole family.
Freshly made takoyaki are perfectly round, with a crispy, caramelized exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Each bite bursts with crunchy squid tentacles and succulent shrimp, coated in a rich, sweet and savory teriyaki sauce and smooth, creamy mayonnaise. The bonito flakes tremble gently in the steam. You just can't stop eating them! Recently, my little one asked, "I haven't had takoyaki in ages!" Usually, a box only has six pieces, and I'm always counting them carefully. But at home, I can have takoyaki freedom! Half a pound of flour makes 24 pieces—enough to satisfy everyone! Watching my little one proudly showing off the plate, face covered in sauce, this mom thinks: This cooking skill is off the charts!

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!
Stir-fried chicken drumsticks with white mushrooms is a flavorful and simple home-style stir-fry. Tender chicken drumsticks are cut into small pieces and quickly stir-fried in hot oil until golden brown and fragrant. They are then stir-fried together with sliced shiitake mushrooms. The sweetness of the mushrooms and the savory aroma of the chicken blend together perfectly. The shiitake mushrooms soak up the meat juices, becoming tender yet bouncy, while the chicken is smooth and juicy. A drizzle of light soy sauce enhances the flavor, making it savory and delicious. Every bite is a perfect collision of mushroom and meat flavors, making it both appetizing and satisfying.

This dish is a vibrant, savory‑bitter stir‑fry that balances the distinctive earthiness of white bitter melon with the rich, umami depth of dried tiny shrimp. The melon is thinly sliced, lightly salted to tame harsh bitterness, then stir‑fried until just tender. Scattered throughout are bursts of concentrated shrimp flavor and tender ribbons of scrambled egg, which help to soften the melon’s bite and elevate the overall texture. Fragrant garlic, onion (or sometimes tomato), and a hint of seasoning round out the flavors, creating a harmony of freshness, mild sweetness, and satisfying umami. Served hot, it’s a nourishing and flavour‑forward dish meant to be enjoyed with steamed rice.
