How to Make Homemade Tau Fu Fah (Soy Pudding) That Doesn’t Fail
ByJackieM June 11, 2024June 12, 2024
This is a post covering some troubleshooting and tips for your next batch of homemade tau fu fah. It’s not a recipe post, since I’ve already previously shared the recipe: Here (making it from scratch) – https://jackiem.com.au/2019/07/24/how-to-make-tofu-pudding-taufu-fa/ and here (using the shortcut version) – https://jackiem.com.au/2022/05/11/how-to-make-easy-taufu-fah-sweet-tofu-pudding/ and since I don’t monetise the content on this site,…

10 Ways The Thermomix Is Great For Asian Cooking
ByJackieM January 15, 2021January 15, 2021
In all the years I’ve cooked Live On Air, I’ve elicited more comments about the Thermomix TM5 behind me than all my other kitchen gadgets and utensils put together. I usually brush these off by telling my audience that it’s really just a multi-function kitchen unit and that I mostly use it as a glorified…

How To Make Yee Mein (Fried Wheat Noodles)
ByJackieM September 3, 2019April 30, 2020
Yee Mein (Cantonese) aka fried wheat noodles come in two varieties that I’m aware of – there’s the thinner, darker version that some Malaysians know and love, and there’s the more famous thicker, lighter-coloured version that’s used in premium Chinese restaurant dishes like crab with ginger and shallots. This recipe is for the latter. I’ve…

How To Make Tofu Pudding (Taufu Fah)
ByJackieM July 24, 2019August 20, 2021
Taufu Fah (ie. Tofu Pudding) is a simple Chinese dessert (usually served warm) that’s a favourite of many Malaysians. It wasn’t until fairly recently though, that I started making it from scratch at home, and I’ve found it to be pretty easy and quick to do. It’s also “accidentally vegan” – in other words, without…

How to Make An Easy Nut-Free Carrot Cake
ByJackieM September 11, 2018February 19, 2022
I rarely bake because I’m not much of a cake eater, but I have on occasion had to use up some leftover carrots, in which case my go-to option is to bake it into a carrot cake. This recipe was originally sourced from the Thermomix recipe community, but I’ve made so many adjustments that it…

How to Make Sweet Potato Onde-Onde and Black Sesame Paste Dessert
ByJackieM October 3, 2017September 22, 2025
Fair warning – the audio in this Live Asian Kitchen is badly out of sync. I only realised because I had to force myself to watch the replay so I could remember the ingredient amounts for these recipes (fun fact – I have a general phobia about watching myself on camera). Sweet Potato Onde-Onde…

How to Make Baked Asian Cheese Tarts
ByJackieM May 31, 2017July 11, 2020
#TelstraFail Season 2 Episode 4 (Final) – after two days of back-and-forths with Netgear, the manufacturer of the modem connected to my Telstra service, I was told that it was definitely a faulty modem. Good news was that Netgear said they would replace it; bad news was that I had to go through Telstra. Hell…

How to Cook Steamed Fish with Preserved Vegetables
ByJackieM April 20, 2017July 10, 2020
I don’t know if it’s the Chinese in me that makes me especially partial towards steamed fish (steamed most things, as a matter of fact) but even if you’re more used to having your fish battered and fried, do give these recipes a shot. They’re quick, flavoursome, easy to make, and kind to your waistline…

How to Make Laksa Kelantan
ByJackieM April 11, 2017July 10, 2020
This is definitely a keeper; I’d only eaten it once before, during a short trip to Kelantan a couple of years ago. I made a tweak in the type of fish used (as is often the case, what passes for cheap and readily available in Malaysia isn’t always the case here in Australia), and I…
