We love going to Dim Sum and order the Gai Lan, but I was never able to recreate it at home. My Mama normally blanch the vegi, but I tend to over cook the greens that way. Well this recipe produced the best gai lan I’ve ever cooked, thanks to Steaming Kitchen‘s website! 1 pound…

Chives with ground beef
I never know how to stir fry chives well… Feel like tonight I overcooked it again, but don’t have enough recollection of how the texture is really suppose to be when garlic chives are well prepared.

Shrimp with Snow Peas
Holy cow, I finally figured out how to make a shrimp dish properly like the higher end Chinese restaurants! The taste of this dish was so darn good I am still salivating thinking about it… Apparently a little preparation ahead (marination) is the key for plump and unfishy shrimp. 2/3 lb. fresh shrimp MARINADE: 1…

Stir Fry Bean Sprouts
Had a super busy day today, with not much grocery to work with, I decided to just whip up something simple for tonight’s dinner.

Stir-fried Broccoli Hong Kong Style
Normally when I stir fry broccoli, it’s just minced garlic, broccoli and some chicken flavored seasoning. Today I wanted to try something a bit different, other than the sauce ingredients, I realize “SUGAR” is actually important. The result was quite good! Ingredients: 1 pound broccoli Sauce: 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons oyster sauce 1 tablespoon…
