Cantonese-style Steamed Fish
  Ingredients (serves 2-4) Fish (as many as you can afford) 8-10 slices of ginger Spring onion Coriander (optional) 1 tomato (small, optional) 2 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons light soy sauce 1/4 cup water Steps 1. Clean the fish and make diagonal cuts along the skin. 2. Put 1/2 of the ginger slices that you've prepared and 1/3 of the spring onion on the plate with the fish. You can stuff a few slices in the fish's abdomen(which should already be sliced open). 3. Steam for 3 mins. Remove the ginger slices and spring onion from the fish and pour away the water from the steaming. 4. Add the remaining ginger slices and spring onion and continue steaming the fish for 3 more mins. Add sliced tomatoes if you wish. 5. Use a chopstick to check if the fish is cooked. If the chopstick can go through the fish smoothly, then it is cooked. If the fish is slightly on the thicker end, might need to steam 2-3 mins longer. Remove from heat and plate it. 6. In a separate wok, add oil, light soy sauce and water. Once it bubbles (10-20 secs), remove from heat and drizzle the sauce onto the fish. 7. Add coriander and serve.

Air-fried Chicken Wings

Make some diagonal cuts on the chicken wings. This would allow the marinate to seep in adequately and ensure that the insides are cooked later. 2. Mix the chicken wing with all the other ingredients in a ziploc bag. Seal the ziploc bag and put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Occasionally take the ziploc bag and mix around. 3. Air-fry the chicken wings at 180 degrees for 10 mins. Flip and continue air-frying at 160 degrees for 8 mins. (Note: Do not place the chicken wings on top of each other!

 Ingredients (serves 2) 2 tablespoons oil 1 large or 2 small tomatoes 1 cup chicken stock 2 cups water (or more chicken stock) 2 teaspoons light soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon white pepper salt (to taste) 1 egg (beaten) 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons/30ml water) spring onion (finely chopped, optional) coriander (chopped, optional) Steps 1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a soup pot over medium low heat. Add the tomato chunks and stir-fry for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes are softened and start to fall apart. 2. Add in 1 cup chicken stock, 2 cups water, 2 teaspoons light soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper and salt to taste. 3. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat so that the soup is simmering with the lid on. 4. Now quickly beat the egg in a small bowl and prepare the cornstarch slurry in a separate bowl. 5. Use a ladle to slowly swirl the soup in a whirlpool motion. Keep swirling as you pour in the cornstarch slurry until well incorporated. 6. Now pour a thin stream of egg into the middle of the whirlpool as you slowly swirl the soup. This is how you get that pretty egg drop effect. 7. Serve hot or at room temperature. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro, if using.
