Fried Nian Gao aka Chinese New Year Cake 炸年糕

Fried Nian Gao aka Sticky Glutinous Rice Cake is a tasty snack we eat during Chinese New Year.  It is considered good luck to eat Nian Gao during this festive season as the Chinese believe eating Nian Gao symbolises raising oneself taller, higher, or wealthier in each coming year. 

This is my go-to recipe for deep-fried Nian Gao, the texture is crisp on the outside, and soft and chewy inside.

Salted Egg Yolk Crab Recipe 金沙咸蛋黄奶油螃蟹

Last December 2022, when we were back visiting our parents, my son went prawning with his cousins and “accidentally” caught 2 crabs. Brought back to my parent’s place, my sister and I cooked this for our family’s lunch. The buttery and savoury salted egg yolk sauce paired with the natural sweetness of the crab was so tasty. If you're a crab lover, this is definitely a dish that you will regret not trying!

Air-fried Crispy Chicken Karaage aka Japanese Fried Chicken 日式炸鸡块【免油炸唐扬鸡】

Karaage is a Japanese dish typically made with marinated boneless chicken meat and deep-fried. It's extremely popular and well-loved by children and even adults. Here's sharing a simple Japanese Karaage recipe that you can easily make at home without going through the messy deep-frying process. Just marinate the chicken meat, mix it with flour and let them cook in the air-fryer.

Same comforting taste, no oily mess:)

Homemade KFC | Air Fried Crispy Chicken 香料炸鸡【免油炸】

Homemade KFC... not Kentucky Fried Chicken, this is my Kid's Favourite Chicken (KFC) :P

A simple version of crunchy fried chicken marinated with aromatic spices, cooked in the Ninja Foodi multi-cooker without deep-frying to achieve the crunchiness with minimal oil used. This air-fried version tastes as good as deep-fried, and the best of all, it's all done in one pot that makes cleaning a breeze. The Ninja Foodi deep pot could prevent oil/ residues splatter all over the crisping lid making it easy to maintain and clean. No oily food and greasy stove-top! 

The Ninja Foodi multi-cooker that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one pot, it's super-efficient and time-saving. The heat distribution is even and it heats up real fast compared to my other air fryer. Besides pressure cook and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, and keep warm, just like a portable kitchen with a rice cooker, pressure cooker, air fryer, oven and stovetop functions, reasonable price, and highly versatile.
