Have you had Asian chickens before? When it comes to whole chickens, my family and I have always chosen Asian chickens. Here in British Columbia, you can find different types of specialty Asian chickens that are raised locally. When it comes to enjoying fresh Asian chickens, my family simply steams it. By steaming it, you will also extract some chicken broth full of the chicken essence. Mama Lam takes it to the next level by making a sauce with the chicken broth, pour it back onto the steamed chicken so it absorbs all the flavours. Here is the recipe.
Just a week ago we celebrated Chinese New Year, welcoming the Year of the Ox. And like every other CNY, it's the perfect the opportunity for us to cook and eat a lot of good food and observe our cultural traditions. This year, Mama Lam made a Poon Choi / Pancai / Big Bowl Feast / 盤菜.
It's Chinese New Year (CNY) a couple of weeks ago, and us Chinese know how to celebrate -- eat, feast, and repeat. Of course, there are many regional Chinese New Year traditions throughout China, and being from HK, the HK tradition is what I'm most familiar with. On New Year's Eve I was invited to a feast with food expert Lee Man, and it just heightened my appreciation for my culture. Calling it a feast, obviously it was a multi-course dinner with an abundance of food. We are all about good meanings when it comes to choosing the dishes or even naming them for CNY. On Instagram I showed a glimpse of what that means with the CNY dinner made by Mama Lam this year. It's being realized here once again at Golden Paramount in Richmond.
Being Chinese, make stir-fry is in our blood. This time, we had a pack of Johnsonville Italiano Sausage Meat. It's most expected to be a pizza topping, or being made into meatballs. Because we also got some fresh snow peas out of my mother-in-law's garden, we decided to make a stir-fry.
