Fujian Rice Dumpling 福建肉粽子
There are many types of fillings you can add. Really comes down to personal preference. Some common ones, other than the ones in this recipe are: soy beans, peanuts, mung beans, dried oysters, abalone and dried shrimp. You can wrap it many different ways. The way I do it is called the 4-pointed Zhongzi 四角粽子 (sì jiǎo zòng zi). But all you really need to make sure of is that your filling doesn’t fall out. Wrapping is the most difficult part of this recipe. But you can always just wrap it in a rectangular shape as a worst case scenario. It will still taste awesome! If you’re new at this, I suggest that you get extra leaves and enough string. This way, you can pick the leaves that are wide, long and have no holes.

Fortune Turkey 富貴火雞
The original form of this dish is for chicken and not turkey. The Fortune Chicken I had made came out perfectly! And so, my friend, who loves turkey, suggested that I try making it with turkey. So, after much thought, I decided to take on this challenge and make a Chinese turkey dish. After two failed attempts, the third time really was a charm! The turkey meat was tender, moist and juicy! You can stuff the turkey with pretty much anything you’d like. Just make sure that anything you stuff is already cooked since the turkey is in the oven for only 2.5 hours, the stuffing will not be cooked through, it will only be heated. If you can substitute the pork belly, with crispy bbq pork from a Cantonese bbq store. I can tell you that this is not an easy recipe, but the turkey was amaaaazingly good and impressive!!!

Chinese Long Beans with Shrimp Paste 蝦醬炒豆角
I used Chinese white long beans for this recipe. You can also use Chinese green long beans or green beans for this recipe. Chinese white long beans are slightly sweeter, meatier and has a higher water content than Chinese green long beans. I personally prefer the white ones over the green ones.

Dong Po BBQ Pork 東坡串燒肉
If you don’t like pork belly, you can use other cuts of pork, chicken or beef. This would taste even better on a barbeque! Marinate overnight if you have time. However, I find 4 hours is also fine.
