We’ve just said bye bye to February and all the Chinese New Year festivities. March is here. We are almost one quarter of the way through the year 2018.

Dan dan noodles (or 担担面) originated from Sichuan Chinese cuisines. This dish is a very popular dish in many Chinese, Cantonese as well as Chinese dim sum restaurants, favourited especially by those (including the guy and me) who love spicy Chinese food and those who aren’t too bothered by the level of oiliness in the food.


I couldn’t believe this recipe actually works! It was a recipe that I got from a newspaper cutout many many years ago. There were only four ingredients and less than ten steps. Looks really simple – too simple to believe. And this is what I get – a whole tub of golden butter crisps! It worked amazingly well and tasted really crispy!


I got really excited when I saw this recipe being shared on FaceBook. No self-raising flour, no rice flour. Really? Can this finally be my life-saving recipe to create Huat Kuehs that can really ‘huat‘ (rise and bloom)?


I haven’t touched my dutch oven for a long time now. It’s been sitting quietly inside my kitchen cupboard, waiting patiently for my return. At long last…!
