My Mother’s Famous Chinese Egg Rolls
Posted in *MY FAVORITE RECIPES*, Appetizer, Asian Inspired, Chinese on April 5, 2007 | 10 Comments »
These are my Mother’s famous Egg Rolls. I think every cook should have a dish they perfect and be known for! We grew up in North Platte, Nebraska in the ’70s, and these babies were the talk of the town. My Mom, who spoke no English, made friends through feeding people Chinese [...]

The other day, I stopped by Sweetbay Supermarket by my home and found a bunch of Chinese Long Beans. They come in long bundles - typically they are 12″ - 30″ long, hence the nickname, “Yard Long Beans.” The best tasting Chinese Long Beans are young, 12″ - 16″ long. [...]

I’m cooking once a week for a friend whose family is on a No-gluten, No-sugar, No-soy diet, All-organic diet. Their little 4 yr old daughter has cancer. They are going in this diet to try to prolong her life as much as possible. Sugar feeds cancer, and the Soy interferes with her medication. [...]
Garlic-Brandy Prawns
Posted in *MY FAVORITE RECIPES*, 30 Minute, Asian Inspired, Chinese, Easy, Fusion, Seafood on March 18, 2007 | 2 Comments »
This is my favorite way to eat prawns! It only takes 15 minutes to make and the brandy adds unexpected sweetness and depth of flavor. By the way, prawn and shrimp are one and the same. Mom taught me how to make this.
Prawns vs. Shrimp: Its the same thing. No difference. I just [...]
Easy Chinese Fresh Vegetables (Yu Choy)
Posted in 30 Minute, Asian Inspired, Chinese, Easy, Gluten Free, Healthy, Vegetables on March 13, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Yu Choy looks a lot like the Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan), except that the Yu Choy stalks are skinnier and the flowers are yellow (Gai Lan has white flowers). This vegetable is tender, the taste of the leaves are very much like spinach leaves, even though it is part of the mustard family. [...]
Tapioca Pearls with Sweet Coconut & Cantelope
Posted in *MY FAVORITE RECIPES*, 30 Minute, Asian Inspired, Chinese, Easy, Fruits, SE Asian, Sweets on March 12, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Looking back through my blog stats, this is by far the most popular recipe searched. There aren’t a lot of Chinese cookbooks that feature this recipe, I wonder why? Its such a beautiful, exotic dessert.
This is a recipe from my Mom - she used to serve this in the summer time to cool [...]

Lettuce Wraps with Minced Pork, Mushroom & Baby Corn
Posted in 30 Minute, Appetizer, Asian Inspired, Chinese, Easy, Gluten Free, Healthy, Meat on March 4, 2007 | 1 Comment »
This is a great way to have a fun, hands-on dinner. You can substitute the ground pork with ground turkey or minced shrimp for an even healthier meal.
Baby corn is sold in cans – by itself, the taste is bland, however it adds a great texture to your dish. The corn can be [...]
