My dumplings making class at the Civic Kitchen in San Francisco was so much fun. The students managed to make some really delicious dumplings.

Last weekend I offered a dim sum sampler class at HGS Home Chef in Hillsdale NY. We had a blast trying to fold the shrimp dumplings. Most came out well but a few were less successful. Spring rolls came out beautiful.

My Family’s Mushroom Soup with Asian Pear Is a Cozy, Nourishing Dish in Winter This mushroom soup with Asian pears is a soothing Chinese soup that combines earthy mushrooms with the subtle sweetness of Asian pears, creating a perfectly balanced sweet and savory flavor profile.

This savory and slightly sweet winter soup is perfect for a cold winter night. Go out and get some Asian pears and your favorite mushrooms to make this soup!

Just before Christmas, we went to this new place by Simpson Wong on the Upper West Side. @kancil.nyc is a modern interpretation of food from Malaysia with some #hakkacuisine influence. What a great combination it is. Go try it out!

Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib Soup)

Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib Soup)

Bak Kut Teh, translated to β€œpork rib tea,” is a soup made with pork ribs, lots of garlic, white pepper and star anise in a soy sauce broth. Although medicinal herbs are often added, I like this simpler version with just the basic ingredients.

Corning Museum of Glass has been in our bucket list for a long time. We finally get to visit this weekend while visiting in the Fingers Lake Region for the eclipse. What a spectacular museum.

Austrian food was perfect as the cuisine to highlight the wonderful cold weather wines like riesling and gewurztraminer of the Fingers Lake region. And Dano’s Heuriger did not disappoint.

After a week in Sun Valley, I made a quick turn around to Hillsdale General Store & HGS Home Chef in Hillsdale, NY to teach another cooking class there. This morning we made my signature dish Red Cooked Pork. What a great group of students. We had so much fun.

Last cooking class at Sun Valley Culinary was dumpling making. We made lots of dumplings before the class for the students. What a week it had been.

Tonight’s cooking class was Chinese Soups and Stews. We made Red Cook Pork and Chicken Soup with Asian Pear. Since stew and soup making takes a long time to make, we indulged in a wonton appetizer at the start of the class.

Tonight at Sun Valley Culinary Institute we hosted a multi-course Chinese Banquet. It was a sold out event. I had so much fun working with everyone at the school.
