Deep-fried Mussels

Recipe by: blackswan

Reviews(1)

I found some really nice & cheap mussels at the supermarket & was in a mood for some unhealthy indulgence. I love those at Mos Burgers but at a price of S$3.30 for 5 pieces, it's much more economical to D.I.Y. The tray of mussels I bought today was just S$1 for 500g. There were about 18 pieces. Wow! Of course, I've no doubt the quality difference but at just a dollar for some fresh mussels, it's good enough. After all, I'm gonna deep-fry them anyway.

Double Cooked Pork with Green Chili Pepper

Recipe by: JIN

Be the first to review it!

This is a famous home-style dish from Sichuan province. The pork-belly steak is boiled, sliced and then stir fried with sweet flour paste, chili paste and green pepper, providing a great aroma and a medley of flavors. Although the dish is made from pork belly, it is not greasy because the fat is fried out. This dish goes well with steamed rice.

These duck breasts are the nicest I've ever cooked. You'll find yourself putting your knife and fork down between mouthfuls. And it's also very quick and extremely easy to make. I enjoy serving these duck breasts with roasted seasonal vegetables.

These are a fun dessert to make if you have plenty of time. Children can get involved, too. First you make a yellow mung bean paste, then form it into mini fruits. Then paint the fruit with food coloring and coat it all with agar. These delicacies keep refrigerated for 2-3 days.

Korean Rice Cake and Dumpling Soup (Duk Guk and Mandu)

Recipe by: Pat

Be the first to review it!

The Korean Lunar New Year is called Solnal and this soup dish is traditionally eaten on new year morning. According to my Korean friend Rachel, eating the soup symbolizes becoming one year older and the white rice cakes symbolize blessings and purity, and when cut into perfect rounds or "coins," represent money and prosperity.

Lo Han Jai

Recipe by: Pat

Be the first to review it!

I've heard this dish being called Buddha's Delight or simply jai. Traditionally served on the first day of Chinese New Year, this dish is in keeping with the Buddhist tradition of cleansing the body and that no fish, chicken or livestock are killed for food on the first day of the new year. Depending on your family recipe, there could be more or less ingredients including dried oysters, black moss (fat choy), fried tofu or cloud ear mushrooms. This is my friend Delia's grandmother's recipe.
