I love Sweet and Sour anything, so it was one of the first things I adapted for the Low Fodmap diet! Today, after perfecting my recipe, I am very happy to share with you these Low Fodmap Sweet and Sour Pork Meatballs!
Low Fodmap Dandan Chicken
Since starting the Low Fodmap diet, I often crave curries, stir-fries, and Asian food in general and this Low Fodmap Dandan Chicken has made it into my fortnightly rotation. It is so good that I could actually eat it every week!
Low Fodmap Wonton Soup
I am so happy to share this Low Fodmap Wonton Soup with you today! It is such a comforting dish. One of those dishes that make your soul sing.
Low Fodmap Pork Wontons
Today I will show you how to make some delicious Low Fodmap Pork Wontons. I have discovered wontons late in life (way too late) and after getting hooked to them, I was diagnosed with IBS.
How to Cook Long Grain Rice
I know that this post on How to Cook Long Grain Rice could seem silly to some, but I can assure you that there are many people out there who do not know what the best way to cook long grain rice is. I was one of them until I met my husband.
Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork Meatballs
Sweet and Sour anything is my go-to dish whenever I eat Chinese food. I have always liked sweet and sour sauces… even in Italian cooking. So, when I saw these meatballs, I couldn’t resist and I had to try them. And boy, was I glad I did! They were a super hit with my family…
Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry
Sweet and Sour anything is my favourite Chinese dish. In fact, I really love my Sweet and Sour pork fritters and the other day I was severely craving them. The fact is that, after having my gallbladder removed, I am trying to avoid deep fried food (at least for the time being ;-)). That’s when…
Sticky Chinese 5 Spice Wings
You can never have enough chicken wings recipes! That’s one of my favourite mottos. They are great for entertaining and for footy night and I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t like them. Today’s recipe is delicious: sticky, sweet, spicy, tangy and hearty thanks to the Chinese 5 Spice Mix. These wings are baked…
Chicken Spring Rolls
The other day, I decided to make Chicken Spring Rolls at home. I love spring rolls, but I often find them quite greasy and oily. That’s because they are not fried correctly, so they become soggy and absorb too much oil.
GINGER SESAME CHICKEN
I always have chicken tenders in my freezer… they are very versatile, quick to cook and they always please the whole family. I love the fact that they are always moist and not dry. I have never seen these in Italy, where you either buy breast or thighs (or the whole chicken). I stumbled upon…
FORTUNE COOKIES
Tomorrow we celebrate the Chinese New Year: 新年快乐! As I live in a city with a huge Chinese community, I feel it right to celebrate this special day, even though I do not have any Chinese heritage. In fact, one of the places where I took my parents when they were visiting us from Italy,…
FRIED NUTELLA
Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day 2013″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”. I usually don’t follow “national or world food days”… not because I have something against them, but I usually forget and cannot keep track of all of these special occasions. …
ADORA’S PORK WITH GARLIC, ONIONS AND CHILLI
I love this recipe! I have discovered this beauty on Adora’s Box a little over a year ago (thank you Adora!) and the whole family got hooked. Needless to say, I have made it many times already as it is the perfect midweek dinner: quick, but delicious! I have slightly modified Adora’s recipe as I…
HONEY CHICKEN
I must admit I had never eaten honey chicken before moving to Australia. I do not recall seeing it on the menu of any Chinese restaurants in Milano and I am not even sure whether it is an original Chinese dish. All I know is that I was hooked to it from the first time…
LEMON CHICKEN
Lemon chicken is one of the dishes I like to order when we have Chinese take-away. I love all sweet and sour dishes and whenever we order Chinese food, I always find myself ordering at least one! I have already posted about how to make your own Orange Chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork, so…
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
Today we celebrate the Chinese New Year: 新年快乐! I am not Chinese, nor do I have Chinese relatives, but I live in a city with a huge Chinese community, so I feel it is the right thing to celebrate this special day. To do so, I made some special sugar cookies… they are eggless and have…
CHAR SIU AND CHAR SIU BAO
Our Daring Cooks’ December 2011 hostess is Sara from Belly Rumbles! Sara chose awesome Char Siu Bao as our challenge, where we made the buns, Char Siu, and filling from scratch – delicious! When I saw this month’s challenge I was really happy as I had already made Char Siu once and we had all liked it, so…
SWEET AND SOUR PORK FRITTERS
Sweet and sour pork has always been my favourite Chinese take-out food. I am sure I have already said this, but I am a big fan of anything sweet and sour. It must be my Sicilian genes (it is a common cooking style over there) or my love for vinegar… whatever the case I never…
MOO SHU WITH CHINESE STEAMED PANCAKES AND HOME-MADE HOISIN SAUCE
The October Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by Shelley of C Mom Cook and her sister Ruth of The Crafts of Mommyhood. They challenged us to bring a taste of the East into our home kitchens by making our own Moo Shu, including thin pancakes, stir fry and sauce. When I saw this I was a bit…
ORANGE CHICKEN
I am a big fan of tangy and savory dishes and a couple of weeks ago I felt like eating Chinese food. So I thought… why not put the 2 things together? I had some oranges on my kitchen benchtop, so I did some research on the internet and came across a very interesting recipe…
FRIED RICE – RISO ALLA CANTONESE
I must admit I have discovered Chinese cuisine only recently. Growing up in Italy when I did, you would not come across too many “foreign” food restaurants. And… I am not old: I am “only” 33! Ethnic restaurants (as we call them in Italy) are becoming more and more popular nowadays, so I would say…
