Jade Cabbage Rolls

Thank God it’s Friday! Two weeks working overtime is not fun, at all. Before I joined the new team, the estimation of the current project was all set, and sadly unrealistic…I haven’t been in the kitchen for a week, which is torturing me, especially after reading some mouth-watering posts in the reader feeds. After yesterday’s mess, I…

Pan Fried Tofu with Spicy Cabbages

When I woke up this morning, I knew I wanted to make this tofu dish, without my daily struggle of wondering what to eat. The first time I had this dish was back in my 5th grade, visiting a friend and his grandma made it for lunch. It was a hot summer and this spicy dish really…

Pan-Seared Green Chili Pepper

What do you do with only a bag of green chili peppers and several gloves of garlic in the fridge? Going out to get more food is not an option for me since I’m on pager duty and it will be frustrating to be paged when I’m happily doing grocery shopping, let alone the weird…

Purple Potato And Goji Berry Congee

So this week I spent most my time through the employee training program in the US and it happens to be my first visit to the US as well. It was not an easy trip. Our first flight was delayed. When we arrived at Charlotte NC, the connecting flight was already boarding. Unfortunately, we didn’t…

Pan Fried King Oyster Mushroom—The Jade Pillars in Heaven’s Shining Lake

This is a special weekend. Of course, it’s Valentine’s Day. In a few days, it’s also the Chinese New Year. We don’t have enough vacation to go back and meet with our families so it’s just me and wife this year. Monday is actually a holiday “Family Day” in Canada. I guess it’s close enough…

Spicy Quail Eggs in a Nest

Occasionally we buy some quail eggs, usually when we want a change from chicken eggs everyday. It was pretty rare back in the old days to. When my parents brought some home I was so delighted as if they bought me a present. I wonder how many times they used this kind of trick to…

Spicy Chicken Stew

Happy New Year! I made it, to form a habit of writing a post weekly! I’ll keep it up! Now for the new year, we try something new ;). Most spicy chicken recipe we tried involves a bit of deep frying, not very healthy, right? This one is different. It’s more like a stew, in…

Steamed Shrimps with Garlic

We didn’t get the chance to write the post yesterday since we were busy preparing the VISA applications. That’s right, my first visit to the US. After we were done it was too late and I didn’t feel like rushing through writing this recipe since it doesn’t match with the mood when you are making this…

Pan Fried Mushroom with Butter

It has been a challenging week. Fighting with code and software you don’t fully understand is like riding a roller coaster. It feels great when you finally get the idea but in the next couple of hours you could bang your head on the desk and keep asking yourself “what on earth did I do wrong?”…

Pan Fried Chicken Wings

There are lots of recipes for chicken wings and this is one of my favorites. It’s super easy and if you like the pure taste of crispy chicken wings, this is definitely the recipe for you 🙂 The original one is 盐煎鸡翅 from 下厨房. Ingredients: 1. 7 to 10 chicken wings 2. 1/4 tbsp cooking oil 3. sea…
