Here’s another dish using Hong Kong noodles, this one using salted black beans. Chicken and Bell Peppers with Hong Kong Noodles (青椒鷄雲吞麵, Ceng1 Ziu1 Gai1 Wan4 Tan1 Min6) and Beef Curry Hong Kong Noodles (咖哩牛肉炒雲吞麵, Gaa3 Lei1 Ngau4 Juk6 Caau2 Wan4 Tan1 Min6) are previous recipes using these noodles. Hong Kong noodles are thin egg noodles and the literal translation in Cantonese is wonton noodles. While there aren’t any wontons in this dish, these noodles are typically used together with wonton in a soup broth, hence their name, and that leads to no end of confusion if you use the literal translation. So you’ll find dishes named in English referring to thin egg noodles, Hong Kong style noodles, and even vermicelli (whose use isn’t quite correct). Needless to say, the noodles are just really thin and are really good in a stir fry.
Enjoy!

Grilled Butterflied Lamb Leg

Copyright © 2013 Douglas R. Wong, all rights reserved.

Here’s another butterflied leg of lamb recipe. The previous version, Grilled Mesquite-Smoked Garlic Rosemary Lamb, used different spices and two grilling methods to prepare the dish. This version uses an Asian based marinade and direct heat to grill the dish. The amount of chili garlic sauce can be varied according to taste – use more if you like spicy, less if you don’t. If done correctly, the outer layer of the lamb will be crusty and the inner meat medium-rare.
Enjoy!

Mussels and Ground Pork with Snow Peas (荷蘭豆貽貝豬肉, Ho4 Laan4 Dau6 Ji4 Bui3 Zyu1 Juk6)

Ground pork with mung bean vermicelli (also called bean threads) is a classic combination, just those ingredients together make a dish. Adding snow peas and mussels is my customization to the recipe. You can eat the dish all by itself or serve it over rice.
Enjoy!

Chicken and Chinese Broccoli Noodles (芥蘭鷄乾撈麵, Gaai3 Laan4 Gai1 Gon1 Lou1 Min6)

Here’s another variation of Noodles in Sauce (乾撈麵, Gon1 Lou1 Min6) and is very easy to make. The combination of chicken, Chinese broccoli, and oyster sauce is very tasty. If you’re really in a hurry to eat, you can just use oyster sauce alone to make the sauce, but the other ingredients add more flavor, so take the time to prepare the complete sauce.
Enjoy!

Curry Tomato Beef Heart Chow Mein (咖哩番茄牛心炒麵, Gaa3 Lei1 Faan1 Ke4 Ngau4 Sam1 Caau2 Min6)

This recipe was updated on 02 Jul 2015. Some instructions and ingredient quantities were changed.
Here’s a variation on Tomato Beef Chow Mein (番茄牛肉炒麵, Faan1 Ke4 Ngau4 Juk6 Caau2 Min6) recipe using beef hearts instead of the usual beef flank. Also instead of using fresh beef hearts, I used Grilled Spicy Beef Hearts (燒烤辣牛心, Siu1 Haau1 Laat6 Ngau4 Sam1). The beef hearts give an added crunch to the dish. The tomatoes came from my garden and this batch didn’t hold up to stir frying very well, so I got tomato skins in the finished dish rather than tomato wedges!
Enjoy!

Grilled Curry Pork Chops (燒烤咖哩豬排, Siu1 Haau1 Gaa3 Lei1 Zyu1 Paai4)

Copyright © 2013 Douglas R. Wong, all rights reserved.
This recipe was updated on 13 May 2015. Some instructions and ingredient quantities were changed.
This recipe uses thin pork chops with the skin on. The pork chops usually bought in a supermarket have the skin removed, but pork chops with skin can be purchased at Asian markets. If pork chops with skin cannot be obtained, then use the pork chops without skin from the supermarket. To prevent the pork chops from cupping, the skin is cut in two places before marinating and cooking. Thin pork chops, ½-inch (15 mm.) wide, are required since the cooking method uses a hot coals to quickly grill and brown the pork chops, with the curry powder adding a nice flavor to the finished dish.
Enjoy!

Grilled Spicy Beef Hearts (燒烤辣牛心, Siu1 Haau1 Laat6 Ngau4 Sam1)

Copyright © 2013 Douglas R. Wong, all rights reserved.
This recipe was updated on 30 Jun 2015. Some instructions and ingredient quantities were changed.
Here’s another dish using beef hearts, this time grilled in a spicy chili sauce. I bought the beef hearts already sliced at my local Asian market and they slice the beef hearts thicker than my neighborhood supermarket. The beef hearts are also always available at the Asian market, unlike the supermarket. I didn’t (and couldn’t) eat all the grilled beef hearts, so the leftovers were used for another dish.
Enjoy!
