Wontons with Yuzu Mayo Shrimp
These Wontons with Yuzu Mayo Shrimp are crunchy, savoury, creamy, spicy and tangy all in one incredible bite. The filling features succulent shrimp, creamy mayonnaise, spicy chili garlic sauce, tangy rice vinegar and aromatic brightness of yuzu juice. I serve these with an easy and delicious dipping sauce — just 4 ingredients of mayo, honey, soy sauce and yuzu juice. Sooo good.
Chinese Shrimp in Tomato Sauce
Large succulent shrimp tossed in a sauce of aromatic scallions and ginger, umami soy sauce and tangy sweet ketchup. This dish begs to be served on a bowl of steamed rice!
Shanghai Spring Rolls
These SHANGHAI SPRING ROLLS are exactly the kind I grew up eating so they are, hands down, my favourite type of spring rolls! My paternal Shanghainese grandmother used to make it and my dad makes it. We usually make a big pot of simple meatless congee to go with it for a weekend lunch everybody looks forward to!
Sticky Rice Cakes with Salt-Cured Yolk + Peanut Butter Filling + Zwilling Giveaway { gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free }
Does it seem like I went to crazy town with this one? Yes, I made a filling out of salt-cured egg yolks and peanut butter and sweetened it with maple syrup. I stuffed it inside a dough made with glutinous rice flour (aka 'sweet rice flour' not to be confused with 'rice flour'!), coated them in peanut crumble and pan-fried them. They turned out suuper addictive! We could not stop munching on this warm, chewy, salty-sweet snack! So the lunacy was justified...hence I urge you to continue reading. Plus also there's a giveaway I want you to know about :)
