Is there anyone else out there besides me who is obsessed with this chili sauce? I have been using the Huy fong sriracha hot chili sauce or "rooster" sauce for almost 6 years now. I put it on everything, and have noticed that some chain grocery stores are now carrying it on the asian food aisle.

My Taiwanese MammaMy Taiwanese mamma makes this for me every time I go home to visit, because I love it so much It's super easy and super tasty, and who cares about fat grams, anyway?
(Sorry about the vague ingredient measurements. Everything I learn from family members, I learn without measuring cups or spoons.)
Don't get grossed out by the phrase "pork belly."

Traditional Filipino Comfort Food
I've been feeling a bit under the weather (and it may have something to do with all the fun in the sun this past Memorial Day weekend...) so I made a traditional Filipino soup dish - I find it pretty simple and oh so GOOD when you need a little pick-me-up.
What you'll need:
(with help from Pinoy Mix)
1 whole chicken (cut into parts or choice cuts of breast, thighs or wings)
2 1/2 cups young papaya or chayote [I only used 1 chayote]
1/2 cup chilli pepper leaves
5 cups water [it depends on how much broth you want]
2 tablespoons ginger (chopped)
1/2 head garlic (minced)
1 medium onion (diced)
3 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons patis/fish sauce
pinch of salt and pepper (to taste)
rice (optional)
Directions:
1.

The Chinese Tea Egg seems really popular here..well here ya go another tea+egg recipe,also from China :Steamed Egg Custard With Tea
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Materials for each person
Eggs White 5 pcs
Longjing Tea Leaves 20 g
Seasoning
Salt 1/3 tbsp
Rice Wine 1/5 tbsp
Corn Flour 3 tbsp
Steps
1) Place tea leaves inside small size stewing container
2) Wash with hot water for few seconds, pour out water
3) Add in hot water to half full of container, cover cup lid and make tea
4) Take out tea leave from container when it turns cool
5) Add seasoning, egg white, stir gently and mix well, cover the lid
6) Place container into a steam case, steamed 10 minutes by low heat, serve
Remark
tbsp - table spoon
If you like concentrate tea's favor, use more tea leaves as 30 g.
It's not easy to get the steaming time right, or the egg custard get bubble and hard.....
It's not easy to get the tea volume right too, or, the egg custard is too soft as soup.......
