Pork Chop with Scallion Oil 蔥油豬扒
Use this recipe for chicken or beef. Serve with rice, soup noodles, or rice vermicelli. I usually use the ready-made sweet soy sauce by Lee Kum Kee. You can make it by dissolving equal parts of soy sauce and sugar.

Hong Kong Style Borscht with Oxtail 牛尾羅宋湯
Hong Kong style Borscht 羅宋湯 (lúo song tang) is very unlike Russian Borscht. Hong Kong Style Borscht is basically a tomato-base soup with cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, celery and beef. Ideas to change it up: • Simply remove the beef and make it vegetarian • Add macaroni to make it a meal • Add lemon juice to get a refreshing tang • Braise short ribs with the soup and get a hearty meal • Serve with garlic bread, cola wings and a cold milk tea • Add cream, cream cheese or sour cream to make it into a creamy soup

Hong Kong Curry Beef Brisket 港式咖哩牛腩
I use a curry powder that I purchased in Hong Kong. Hong Kong curry is more similar to Malaysian curry than any other type and so a Malaysian curry powder will help you achieve Hong Kong style curry I used beef finger meat, which is the meat between the bones of the rib, in this dish. I find that this cut of meat has really good texture for braising. In Chinese butchery, we consider this cut also part of the brisket. You can also use the regular brisket. I find that a part of it is quite tough even after braising and so I don’t often use it. Simmering boneless short rib is also a good option. I have chosen to deep-fry my potatoes before brasing so that it can keep its shape better. If you choose not to deep-fry, cut your potatoes larger in anticipation of approx. 30-50% of it will melt into the sauce.

Egg Foo Young 芙蓉蛋
Other common ingredients to use are ham, chicken, ground meats, sausage, cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, asparagus, oyster, crab and anything you like with your eggs. Serve it with rice, fried noodles or in a sandwich. Gravy or not is up to you. But here’s an idea…Hot Egg Foo Young Sandwich! Just take 2 slices of buttered toast, put your egg foo young between them and pour the gravy on top! How’s that for fusion?!

Singapore Fried Rice Vermicelli 星洲炒米粉
Singapore fried rice vermicelli 星洲炒米 (Hong Kong style) is commonly made with bbq pork, shrimp, onions, Chinese chives, chilies, egg and curry paste. You can try a vegetarian version using pressed tofu instead of bbq and shrimp. Chicken or beef can also be swapped for pork. One of my favorite variations is to dice everything up and make a fried rice instead of fried noodles. Chinese chives are very expensive (the ones in this picture cost CADNULL for only 50 grams) and not always available in the west. You can use Chinese leeks or garlic chives instead. In Malaysian style Singapore fried noodles, they don’t use curry paste, but use a sweet chili paste.

Braised Pork Knuckles 紅燒豬蹄
I like to serve these Braised Pork Knuckles with preserved vegetables and ground peanuts. I had them in a Taiwanese restaurant like that and it was delicious! Serving them with gua bao (steamed white bun that is folded like a little hamburger bun) is not only fun but very yummy too! Peanut butter is my secret ingredient! Shhhhhhh!

Clay Pot Pork Patty Rice 冬菇肉餅煲仔飯
I used regular ground pork for this recipe, mincing your own will definitely give you better texture. I added shiitake mushrooms to the pork and I added a salted duck egg yolk in the centre of the patty. You can also add water chestnuts, preserved vegetables, dried squid, dried oysters, Chinese sausage or salted fish just to name a few. The sweet soy sauce I made for this rice is a quick and easy basic recipe. If you’re interested in a more complex and much more flavourful sweet soy sauce, see the sweet soy sauce recipe (steps 7 to 10) I made for Clay Pot Chicken Rice [https://auntieemily.com/clay-pot-chicken-rice/#recipe]. I made this using a gas stove. If you don’t have a gas stove, you can use a portable gas burner.
