This is a very simple Chinese steamed buns recipe. I used to steam the buns with my bamboo steamer set over a wok. But recently I discovered that my 30cm-bamboo steamer sat snuggly over my 8 quart Instant Pot. I gave it a test run and immediately fell in love with this method. I liked... Continue Reading →
Durian Mochi 榴槤糯米糍
My husband and I are both a big fan of durian. However, the price for fresh durian is way too much in Toronto. We could only enjoy them every time we visit my in-laws in Hong Kong. My friend sent me a pack of frozen durian as a gift last month and I didn't open... Continue Reading →
Soft Peanut Butter Cookies 花生醬軟曲奇
The big bottle of peanut butter sitting in my pantry was going to expire soon. I turned it into cookies in order to use it up more quickly. These soft cookies are crisp around the edges, soft in the center and filled with some crunches of peanut. I made them slightly bigger than usual (34... Continue Reading →
Milo Oatmeal Raisin Cookies 美祿燕麥提子乾曲奇
After sharing my Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe last week, one of my readers asked if she could omit the ground cinnamon as her kids didn't like cinnamon.

Chocolate Chip Cookies 朱古力粒曲奇
I've developed a recipe for Dark Chocolate Chip Soft Cookies more than three years ago. The use of bread flour and melted butter gives the cookies a soft and chewy texture. With a more traditional version this time, the cookies are more on the crunchy side. In fact, the softness could be adjusted by varying... Continue Reading →

These no-bake protein energy balls are loaded with nutritious ingredients such as flaxseed, chia seeds and oats. Natural peanut butter is used as a binding agent. They are naturally gluten-free, egg-free and can possibly be dairy-free (and hence, vegan) too if the chocolate chips are either omitted or replaced by cacao nibs or vegan chocolate...

Chocolate Chip Muffins 朱古力粒鬆餅
I prepared some chocolate chip muffins for my kids as after school snacks yesterday. My elder daughter would break off the crispy muffin top and devour it right away, leaving behind the bottom part (how smart is that!). My younger son simply ate the whole thing in a jiff as usual. Homemade baked treats made... Continue Reading →

My type one diabetes has led me to the exploration of diabetes-friendly desserts prepared with sugar substitutes. However, many of the results were... Continue Reading →
