Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
If you head to any Chinese supermarket, you’re likely to find a range of different flavoured mochi in the fridge section. I love plain mochi without any filling, especially in pandan flavour. I tend not to buy the mochi with red bean paste or green bean (mung bean) paste or with the skin coated in coconut flakes.
Gyoza The Ultimate Dumpling Cookbook by Paradise Yamamoto is a simple and easy to learn dumpling making book for all beginners! His step-by-step instructions with photos and tips are so useful and his dumplings are surprisingly easy to make once you learn a few basic techniques! There is no head scratching nor complicated techniques to follow. I also love that he is so creative with his recipes that will suit the western younger generation’s taste buds, please picky eaters and gyoza connoisseurs alike!
