Chocolate Raspberry Wonton Parcels

February 13, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

Yesterday I played with my food. With Valentine’s Day coming up and a bunch of wonton wrappers coming up to their expiration date, I thought why not come up with my own Chinese New Year/Valentine’s Day treats? What a payoff! These are easy and baked, not fried so I indulged in more than one. I […]

Anna Olson’s Ginger Sesame Snaps

February 12, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

When I lived in Vancouver I tried all sorts of authentic Chinese desserts like egg tarts and moon cakes from their Chinese markets but I never warmed up to them. When I would walk into one of their bakeries I usually went come with meat buns instead! I went on an online hunt for what […]

My Fakeout “Plum” Sauce

February 10, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I am sure by now if you have been reading my blog for any length of time you will know that I am crazy about sauces. For me, a meal without a sauce does not compute. I made some homemade baked spring rolls and wanted to make my own dipper for it. Traditionally people use […]

Baked Spring Rolls

February 10, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

I was not sure it was going to be possible for me to make spring rolls for my month of Pan-Asian cooking because I do not deep fry. So I was very exciting to find Cooking Etctera’s Baked Chicken Spring Rolls recipe. I printed it out and got to work: Yup, lots of chopping and […]

Michael Smith’s Chicken Dumplings

February 9, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 14 Comments

Our journey into Asian cuisine continues this month with Michael Smith’s Chicken Dumplings. I have also made a shrimp version of this dish which is even tastier but I know not everyone eats seafood and the original recipe using chicken is very delicious. The best part about this recipe is it is super easy! Minimal […]

HOMEMADE Sweet and Sour Sauce

February 8, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 21 Comments

We have had debates around here about what “from scratch” means but when it comes to homemade, the whole point of this post is I could make it at home. And so can you! I have always wanted to try making my own sweet and sour sauce. I am one of those people guilty of […]

Veggie Potstickers

February 4, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Well it is about time for me to get to some Chinese cooking isn’t it? Dave Lieberman’s Veggie Potstickers are the first dumpling-type treats I ever made. Getting to see him make them and show me just how to do it got me over my anxiety of making something that seemed so difficult and made […]

Hot and Sour Soup

July 4, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Believe it or not, it is still cool and dark and dreary enough here to be craving the comforts of soup. One of my favourite soups that I am super picky about is Hot and Sour Soup. I am very sensitive to heat and yes, I do want a little kick in this soup but […]

Beef with Broccoli

July 3, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

I love Chinese food. The non-authentic kind. The kind that comes out of paper containers that is delivered to your door. My issue? My husband is very allergic to MSG so if we want Chinese food, I have to make it myself. I got this book out of the library that has Chinese-restaurant-style recipes, unfortunately, […]
