Hey guys, hope you are doing well! This week, let's use some of the custard filling we made last week and turn it into a sort of old-school dim sum, steamed crystal cake (水晶饼).
Let's get started.

This week, I want to post two recipes to complement our Baozi video. So in the north, bao zi shops are more of a eatery than a grab & go. Besides baozi, they'll have some simple dishes like mixed vegetable and some congee (sometime soup too) for people to have a...

As I said, we'll end up randomly choosing three people for the gift-box and mailing it out to you.

Steph told me a few months back, after the nth failed attempt at Char Siu Bao, "if I ever nail this, I think I might actually cry".
Char Siu Bao's been really tough. Steph started learning and testing them about October last year - there's been dozens and dozens of batches of these guys... with a ...

There’s this idea that I’ve heard people repeat that kinda irks me. When talking about great food cities, there’s this line that “of course Hong Kong/New York/Tokyo/[insert expensive city here] have the best food. The rent’s so high that only the most outstanding re...

Short answer: Kind of, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
Long answer: I know that when we cook Sichuan food... our insistence on using Caiziyou, a virgin cold-pressed rapeseed oil, can sorta feel like it's bordering on the sadistic.
