Recipe • Vegetarian Kung Pao Chicken

Hi! Here is another quick recipe post, Vegetarian Kung Pao Chicken.
I cooked this dish using Woh Hup's Shiitake Mushroom Oyster Flavoured Sauce which is a substitute for oyster sauce, so it is suitable for vegetarians, non vegetarians and those who avoid shell-food.
As I try to cook this dish vegetarian style, I omitted garlic and scallion too.

Recipe • The Very Versatile Anchovy Soup Stock!

Image
I cook chinese style vegetable soup pretty often. It's a good way to increase the kids' vegetables intake and convenient for days when I only whip up a soup and meat dish. Most importantly, the boys love drinking their soup when it's cooked with this stock! This stock is suitable for many types of Chinese soup, example: Chinese Spinach meatballs/fishballs soup Wolfberry Leaves egg drop soup Yong Tau Foo soup Cabbage soup Shrimp-Pork dumplings soup Winter Melon soup & Cai Xin or Xiao Bai Cai soup too! I often get queries on what is the soup base when I post photos of such soup, so I think it's high time I give this delicious and versatile soup base its own space in this blog! Also, I hope my own kids will get to follow this recipe here and cook their favorite "mummy's soup" in future and be able to reminisce the taste of their childhood!
