Chinese comfort food

The comforts of Chinese cuisine can be found right in San Francisco! Today on Easy Chinese: San Francisco I'll be demonstrating the art of the hand-pulled noodle with Chef Jiang (above) at San Dong Noodle House and making my exceptionally comforting chicken soup. Next up, I'll be creating a sticky dish inspired by family traditions and direct-from-London, my best mate and tea expert Don Mei takes me for a proper tea. To cap it all off, desert! in the form of a Lychee Raspberry Crumble. Delicious! Tune in to the Cooking Channel. See you there. Ching x

Cooking up Cantonese Cuisine

Today I'm excited to be with the king of Cantonese cuisine, Chef Bill Sy (above), at Manila Oriental Market where we'll be sharing a warm bowl of Mixed Seafood Congee with the customers. At the Art Institute (below) we'll be enjoying cherished Cantonese dishes, tips and techniques and we'll make whole fish two ways for a hungry crowd. Then back to the kitchen where I'll create a delicious Canton-inspired, satisfying fruit dessert. Tune in to the Cooking Channel! Enjoy, Ching x

Yin and Yang - the great Chinese Philosophy

My mother tought me the 'yin yang' philosophy of Chinese cooking and it continues to be a foundation in the dishes I create... which is why I'm so excited about today's Easy Chinese: San Francisco show. I'll be balancing my culinary chi at Serendipity Farm (below with farmer Jamie) with Oyster Chicken and Bok Choy Stir Fry. I'll be meeting Josh Jones and his Latin Jazz Ensemble (above) at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts - what a beautiful place - I'll be trading my Grilled Coconut Lobster (below) for a tune! See me on the Cooking Channel, Ching x

Chinese food is great for a party!

I love parties and there's something very therapeutic about preparing party nibbles too. On today's Easy Chinese: San Francisco my Auntie Mei-Lin is having a retirement party in San Francisco's South Bay - here we are (above) partying with the crew! I'll be stocking up at Oakland's bustling Rockridge Market Hall - the only European-style market in San Fransisco - to make tasty Sweet and Sour Pork Sliders, Crispy Salt & Pepper Squid with Asian Salad, Pork and Prawn Boiled Wontons and some delicious Mandarin Martinis to wash it all down. Tune in! Ching x

Ribs to die for!

I love a BBQ at any time of year - and today is no exception! Tune into the Cooking Channel to see my decadent barbecue menu including my favorite BBQ Yellow Bean Chicken and Sticky Soy and Orange Beef Rolls. I'll be dropping in on the Bad S BBQ Team (above) in San Jose, where I'll be taking over the grill and brightening up the party with a refreshing Lychee Mojito. Doesn't the table look awesome? And those super sticky ribs! (below) Can't wait! Ching x
