This year I took it easy and had a mix of homecooked and food delivery/premade meals.
.
I picked up the peking duck a week ahead and kept it in the freezer since they’re located far from my house. For those curious if it was good after being in the freezer, YES! You just gotta prep it properly for freezer (pancakes lay flat with parchment or plastic between each piece, and make sure everything is in airtight wrapping/container). Let it thaw in fridge a day ahead. To prepare: wrap the meat part in aluminum and lay out the skin on baking sheet, put everything in the oven at 350 for 15-20 min. Let pancakes thaw to room temp (1-2 hours) Warm pancakes for 10 seconds, covered (keep it in its separate layer packaging from when it was prepped for freezer). Keep covered with warm towel til ready to roll duck. Plum sauce can be thawed at room temperature, heating optional.

Homemade dumplings! Finally made rose shaped and regular ones for frying and soups. It was actually pretty fun to make and not as daunting as I thought 😋 best part is making enough to freeze for days I don’t feel like cooking.

Giant Bánh bôt loc anyone? 😆 This is equivalent to about 5 normal sized ones. My first time making it. I was too lazy to make tiny little ones, so I super-sized it! For those who don’t know, it’s stir fried shrimp and pork belly, placed inside of tapioca dough, then boiled or wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. Served with fish sauce and scallion oil.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! It’s always tradition

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! It’s always tradition to indulge in these yummy mooncakes each year, and this year I bought these from a local lady who makes them at home. Her mooncakes are not overly sweet, unlike most mooncakes I’ve had, and the filling and crusts were perfect 👌 I am definitely a returning customer! Her specialty are the mixed nuts and fruits. She doesn’t have a website, but any local friends interested in ordering from her next year, let me know! 🥮
