Braised Pig Trotter with Dong Quai

This appetizing 'braise' has been nagging me since Chinese New Year when one of my sister-in-law bought an almost similar dish to reunion dinner this year. Labled in my mind as very rich in fats and flavour dish, I conveniently shoved it to the back of my mind but the craving seems to have won over the very weak mind lately.

Braised Beef Shin

Here's my first pre-natal recipe that I can bring myself to cook is "Braised Beef Shin". Beef shin has a soft chewy texture after braising thus making it a nutritious energy providing dish for weak expectant mothers, which at the same time also helps strengthen ligaments and joints.

Honey Lemon Chicken Wings

A lot of our Malaysian dishes are full of oil, fats and unsaturated oil. What can I say, 'fat' does make food taste better but my new toy has managed to help me lessen the fat and oil content in my meat, thus giving me a great opportunity to cook my favourite dishes with a peace of mind. My new kitchen toy is a super-heated steam oven, that steams, grills, roasts and bakes. Eat healthy 5 days week and enjoy restaurant food on weekends!
