Published Apr 05, 2019 Updated Sep 05, 2024 This dish is loaded with juicy shrimp in a rich, savory sauce made with garlic and ginger. The sauce is thickened with corn starch and include eggs to give it a silky texture. I think whoever invented the dish is a smart marketing whiz, as it sounds so much more delicious with the word “lobster” in its name. Shrimp is always a great dish to serve, as the Cantonese pronunciation of 虾 (xiā) sounds like 哈 (hā), which means laughter or happiness....

Hi Bold Bakers! When it comes to Starbucks specialty drinks we all have our favorites. I’m a tall flat white kinda gal but when I’m feeling like a treat I get a Strawberry and Cream Frappuccino. During the Holiday season I’m all about Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate with extra salt. I don’t know how many calories it is and I don’t want to know. Ignorance is delicious bliss.

Published May 23, 2020 Updated Nov 03, 2024 Other than char siu bao, har gao (steamed shrimp dumplings) and sui mai, I also love steamed buns. I love the soft and pillowy Chinese steamed buns with fillings, known as bao (包) or baozi (包子). The fillings can be meat, vegetables or a combination of both. Eating a steaming hot and soft and fluffy steamed bun with a cup of Chinese tea is a ritual that often reminds me of how amazing Chinese food is....

At Bigger Bolder Baking, we want to make baking accessible to all, so we want to share some ways to bake on a budget....
