Chinese culture is very familiar to us Filipinos. We love to eat Chinese food such as siopao, siomai, congee and mami. We see a lot of Chinese Restaurants in all cities. No doubt, Chinese food is one of the most easiest cuisine we could ever cook.
Let's celebrate Chinese New Year with GOOD FOOD! and let's welcome the year of the rat with a big bang.
Fish are delicate so be careful not to overcook it. Fish fillets should not be cooked too long or at too high temperature or it will become rubbery. You will know it’s cooked when it flakes easily at the touch of a fork.
Fish is also a must during Chinese New Year celebrations because it is known to symbol of luck and good fortune.
Soy sauce is considered as one of the most important ingredients in Chinese cuisine. Although named as such, it is not a sauce but is referred to the liquid that is extracted from fermented soya beans. It has a distinct taste referred to as "xiān wèi" by the Chinese.
Top grade soy sauce is made from the finest soy beans, washed and steam-cooked in high pressure cooker. It is fermented in huge tanks under the sun, which is believed to contribute to additional flavour. The entire process has to be meticulously done to achieve a top quality product.
Good quality light soy sauce has a light reddish brown color and is slightly translucent. It is generally used for seafood, white meat and most vegetables, and in soups and stir-frying. On the other hand, dark soy sauce is deep red and can easily stain glasses. It is ideal for roasting, braising and marinating.
Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce is made from premium soybeans and wheat flour. Used by households as well as professional kitchens around the world, it is brewed according to the traditional and natural method which gives a rich soy flavor and aroma that will delicately enhance the taste of any dish.
It is a must-have for those who love to eat dimsums – a great partner for that siomai!
Sesame oil is an organic oil made from toasted hulled sesame seeds. It is usually added at the end of cooking to highlight the flavor and enhance the aroma. Some use MSG as seasoning while cooking. But in most Chinese and Korean cuisine, a few drops of sesame oil sprinkled over the dish before serving does the trick.
Sesame oil is said to be rich in poly and monounsaturated fats – the type of fat that can lower serum cholesterol. Plus, it contains two powerful natural antioxidants, sesamol and sesamin. Some also use sesame oil to soothe skin irritations and in cosmetics as a softener.
Unlike other oils, sesame smokes and burns easily so it is not suitable for stir-frying. If to be used at home, it is usually bought in small bottles and consumed before its expiry date, as it loses its strong aroma.
Lee Kum Kee Sesame Oil is made from selected roasted sesame seeds, Lee Kum Kee Sesame Oil is carefully blended to retain strong sesame flavor and is indispensable in any dishes.
Adding a few dashes of sesame oil to dishes just before serving or marinating meat will accent the overall taste and help intensify the dish’s fragrance.
