Mix 1,2,3
boiling 4 and 5 then pour in to the 123 mixture, if not sticky then cook it a bit more

layer the gooie mixture 1/2 , then paste, then  remaining 1/2 then steam it, 10-20 min. until the texture is clear (translucent)

trick: pour a bit of hte gooie mixture into the paste and mix it, this will help the filler to stick better with the top and bottom cake layers.

快鍋做油飯

I follow mao mao ma's recipe with some variations.

I use small dry scallops so I have to double the number to 5-6 of them.  I also use small dry mushrooms to avoid cutting so I just grab a batch instead of using 4 big ones.  I use regular white wine and I used two sausages instead of just one.  The sticky rice used this time is the short grains, not sure if it will make a different if long grains is used instead.
干贝油饭 was quite a hit when Nb came home to join us for dinner this weekend.


各式鹵味

Marinated Beef Shanks plus eggs/bean curd using mao mao ma's recipe as base with some variation

I follow the recipe

茶香酱牛肉

pretty much except I was using one big beef shank, and I use a 鹵包 and two green tea bags to replace all the spices.

I broil the eggs and peel the shells and place 8 eggs in the broth/sauce plus 4 bean curds in the first batch, and then I take all of them out to cook the beef shank next.

The beef shank also did not set in fridge overnight, I just barely marinated it for  maybe 3 hours as I was in a hurry to cook everything.  It still come out pretty good.  I cook both batches for 35 min. setting in the instant pot.

Thinking of making more eggs and perhaps add chicken wings.  But chicken wings need to be cooked first in water then rinse in cold water. also want to make one
