10 Ways The Thermomix Is Great For Asian Cooking

ByJackieM

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

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.

How To Make Tofu Pudding (Taufu Fah)

ByJackieM

Taufu Fah (ie. Tofu Pudding) is a simple Chinese dessert (usually served warm) that’s a favourite of many Malaysians.

How to Make An Easy Nut-Free Carrot Cake

ByJackieM

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

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…

#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.

How to Cook Steamed Fish with Preserved Vegetables

ByJackieM

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…
