A running list of the things I want to learn how to cook

  • Shanghai Buns - soup in a bun!
  • Potstickers from scratch
  • Fried Lo Bo Gao (Turnip/Daikon Cakes)
  • Lemon Chicken
  • Cream of Corn Fish (a favorite of my grandmother's and mine at Sam Woo's)
  • Chinese Sponge Cake (like the one Nai Nai used to make)
  • Man To: those soft white buns that Nai Nai would have steaming over the stove
  • Red in Snow cabbbage and pork noodle soup
  • Honey Walnut Prawns (our all-time favorite Chinese restaurant standby)
  • Saw Bing: the flat sesame studded pancakes that we stuffed with Pork Sung and Chinese Cruellers
  • Taiwanese Shaved Ice
  • Watermelon Tapioca soup
  • Clay pot casseroles, the ones that always have napa cabbage stuffed in the bottom in wonderful broth
  • chiffon cake: you know those fabulous light soft and silky cakes you can get wrapped in wax paper at Chinese bakeries? Yup. This is them. This is it. This they are. Whatever.
