Sweet and Sour Tofu 糖醋豆腐
The most popular Chinese takeaway dish, I am sure is Cantonese Sweet and Sour Pork. The are sweet and sour (ok!) and is so perfect with a bowl of rice. This time I use tofu instead, make the whole dish lighter and healthier, yet same delicious!
The most important thing of this dish is the sauce, you don’t need much ingredients and mix it according to your own taste. Trust me, follow the recipe and you can make as good as you had in Chinese restaurants 😉
Cantonese Steamed Sponge Cake 馬拉糕

This steamed sponge cake is airy, moist and delicious. Make with brown sugar that make it taste richer. I tried so many recipes and this one is the best so far. Very easy to make and hope you love it too!
Cantonese Shrimp & Pork Dumplings/ Wontons 港式鮮蝦豬肉雲吞
This is one of the most classic, popular and delicious Hong Kong food – Shrimp dumplings (wontons). You can find many Chinese noodles shops in Hong Kong that sell these shrimp wontons with noodles. They are so delicious and nowhere you can find better wontons but Hong Kong.
Every household has their own wontons recipe, so I share mine that is actually my mum’s recipe. I love to sit there and wrap a lot of wontons (maybe 60 pieces) , then I can freeze it for my quick meal. So easy to make, add some black fungus can give an extra texture. Hope you enjoy it too!
