Hi Lily,
ReplyDeleteI am Jenny, the Msian in Germany) yes... I am looking at your blog again! Can you tell me, what kind of cooking wine you are using to cook all your foods? Any difference of rice wine and cooking wine? What brand? Thank you
jenny
ReplyDeletei like the single pagoda brand of hua tiau, and sometimes any brand available. Shaoxing cooking wine is ok too. i buy mui kwai loh for roasting meat - no particular brand.
You are most welcome to visit anytime! Too bad, we can't go over the last time my hubby was in Longmont.

Hi Lily,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering why do you need to deep fry the crab? Does it make it more favourable? Can i opt out doing that... i'm scared of the splattering oil... sob sob

ReplyDeleteyou could cook the crab straight but deep frying it seals in the juices of the meat.
