【红豆沙】Adzuki Bean Paste

平时家里做甜点红豆沙是我很喜欢的馅料之一，所以经常做一盒在冰箱里，要用的时候就很方便。

我有时也会做不细致的带豆子颗粒的豆馅，做法和红豆沙差不多，省去搅拌成糊状的步骤，直接炒制即可。

Adzuki bean paste is one of my favorite fillings for desserts, I often make a box of it and keep in the refrigerator, which is very convenient when I needed it.

I sometimes also make the bean paste without grinding it into paste. The method is similar to making the paste, just omit the step of blending the bean into a paste before stir frying.

Yellow Dal Paratha 【豆糊烙饼】

I made Simple Dal/Yellow dal for dinner two days ago, and was left with about 2 cups of the dal in the fridge. Today, I turned the dal into high protein dough and made this leftover dal paratha, very tasty and healthy!

前两天做了简易绿豆糊吃，剩下的豆糊今天拿来和面，做了这款高蛋白又软宣的面饼，既好吃又健康。

【嘛嘛罗惹】Rojak Mamak/Pesembur

Rojak mamak/Rojak Mee/Pesembur is another common dish served at the mamak stalls in Malaysia, a type of roadside stalls owned mostly by the Indian Muslim community in Malaysia.

This dish truly represents the spirit of the country where it was created, a mixed of different flavors -- savory, sweetness and spiciness, with multiple items serving together, that is no wonder when a Malaysian tries to describe something of that sort, a mixed of different things, we called it the "Rojak", as an adjective!

嘛嘛罗惹也叫做，Pesembur，能加了面条一起吃，也可以不加。是马来西亚嘛嘛档（马来西亚印籍穆斯林开的大排档）有名的小吃之一。

这款小吃很有马来西亚的精神，不单止口味口感丰富，配料也是各式各样的，混起来却很协调好吃。就像我的祖国马来西亚一样，多元化，却也很融合协调。

【椰丝炸丸子】Cucur Kelapa/ Coconut Fritter

这款椰丝炸丸子没它的近亲马来炸虾饼和炸香蕉糕/丸子有名，却是另一款有名的马来街头小吃Rojak Mamak的标配。

就这么炸上一盘子就着奶茶就是很不错的下午茶和茶点了哦！

Not as famous as its close relatives Cucur Udang & Cucur Pisang, this Coconut fritter is one of the essential ingredients in the famous Malaysian Street Food Rojak Mamak.

A very good snack for afternoon tea on its own too!

【大米松糕】Rice flour Steamed Cake

大米松糕是我很喜欢的一款糕点，糯米粉和大米粉混合蒸出来的口感非常特别，加上红豆的特殊香气，味道更是特别香甜。

Steamed Rice Flour Cake is a type of steamed cake that I like very much. 

This steamed cake has a very special texture, a little chewy and fluffy at the same time. The special aroma of red bean paste also makes the cake taste even more fragrant and sweet.

【浥饭/油饭】Eik P'ng/Oil Rice

在闽南的民俗文化里，满月宴是庆祝家里新生命到来不可或缺的重要宴席。各家会按自己的能力尽量把礼仪都做全，为家中的新生儿办满月宴。 一般满月宴里一定会有浥[yì]饭，也叫“油饭”或 “香油饭”，寓意婴儿会健康成长。

浥饭是用豆腐干、虾米、香菇、肉等食材，连同糯米饭合煮而成，口味咸香，非常美味。

It is the folk customs of southern Fujian, to serve this Eik P'ng/ Oil rice at the full moon celebration for new born in the family. The Eik P'ng also called "oil rice" or "fragrant oil rice", it carries the meaning and wishes that the baby will grow up healthily.

This dish is made of dried tofu, dried shrimp, dried shiitake mushrooms, meat and other ingredients, together with glutinous rice. It is a very delicious rice dish on its own.

十全十美【盆菜】Poon Choi

【盆菜是一种混合了十几种食材的客家大菜，是源于香港新界元朗客家围村的传统菜式，深圳和香港新界的饮食习俗。是许多地区过年时的传统大菜】

今年除夕前我买好材料准备做盆菜团年饭时吃，结果却在除夕前染疫了。休整了十几天，算是完全痊愈了，趁元宵在即，就把盆菜做好，元宵节吃也很好哦！

Poon Choi is a type of Hakka dish made with more than a dozen of dishes/ingredients. It is a traditional dish from the Hakka Village in Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong, and the eating customs of Shenzhen and the New Territories of Hong Kong. 

It is a traditional Chinese New Year dish in many regions.

I intended to make this dish for New Year's Eve this year, and bought the ingredients in preparation for the event. Just to find out that I contracted COVID-19 before New Year's Eve. 

After resting for more than ten days and is fully recovered. While it is still within the 15th days of CNY, I decided to complete my Poon Choi to celebrate Chap Goh Meh !
