If you’re looking for something sweet, savory and creamy, you need to combine all the sauces on these delicious rice noodles. Eat with tooth picks for the ultimate Hong Kong street food experience.

Where to Buy Rice Noodles

You can buy these rice noodles at most Asian grocery stores. They are prepared fresh (not refrigerated) and stored with other rice noodles (flat noodles, pho noodles, and more!). There’s not a good alternative for these rice noodles because they are so soft and delicate. Most noodles are chewier (from the flour and eggs) and are a different size than these rice noodle rolls.

Ingredients You Need For Your Cheung Fun:

  • 1 pack rice noodle rolls
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 tbs oyster sauce

Peanut sauce:

  • 2 tbs peanut butter
  • 3-4 tbs water, slowly mix in*
    • *adjust to how thick and thin you like your peanut sauce

Sauce toppings (add as much sauce as you like):

  • hoisin sauce (be careful to not add too much or else it gets really sweet!)
  • peanut butter sauce
  • soy sauce
  • xo sauce
  • green onions, sliced
  • toasted sesame seeds

Steps to Make the Cheung Fun

  1. Cut rice noodles in 3 inch pieces. Add them on a plate and pour 1 tbs oil and 1 tbs oyster sauce on top.
  2. In a large pot, boil water and place steaming tray. Once the water is boiling, add your rice noodle plate to steam. Steam for 5-8 minutes until rice noodles are hot.
  3. To make peanut butter sauce, add 2 tbs peanut butter in a bowl. Slowly mix in 1 tbs of water (up to 4 tbs) in the peanut butter until its your desired consistency. It should be smooth without clumps!

Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past sum Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past summer! So much has changed since then. I went to NY when I just graduated college and was introduced to the food scene for the first time ever thanks to my dear friend, Tina (hi girl!). Then, I went back this past summer and fell in love again with the food. I think New York does a modern take of asian food very well (doesn’t compromise the original flavors). Don’t get me wrong, there’s very tasty authentic food for really cheap too! One of my favorites is May Wah Fast Food in Chinatown where they serve delicious Taiwanese chicken rice for $6.50!

Check out my new blog post of the best places to eat in NY (in my opinion of course!!) [https://cookwithdana.com/best-places-to-eat-in-new-york/]

If you’re local to NY/visiting and tried one of the restaurants, send me a photo! I love to see and live vicariously through u.

We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-In We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-Inspired Dinner! We ate basil pork belly, braised soy sauce eggs, taro & pork belly (made by my dad!), shrimp toast, pork chops, and mango sticky rice for dessert. I made the dessert with my boyfriend, Theo and it took 10 minutes! We used @eatinnovasian Sticky White Rice mixed with sweetened coconut milk. Then, placed ripe yellow mango on top for a delicious thai-inspired dessert :) Swipe to see our food tasting reaction. #ad

Here’s a quick recipe on how I made the mango sticky rice - 

Ingredients:

- @EatInnovasian Sticky White Rice (half pack)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar (adjust to your own sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe yellow mango, sliced

Directions:

1. Heat up coconut milk with sugar and salt. Stir frequently and cook for 3-5 minutes. Cool down.
2. Heat up sticky white rice according to package directions.
3. Once the rice cools a little bit, add ¼ cup of the coconut mixture and mix together. Plate the rice with sliced yellow mango. Pour leftover sauce (as much as you’d like) on the mango and rice. 

Please note that this is not the same as thai mango sticky rice, but a great hack to get a quick, easy, & delicious thai inspired dessert :)

So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, Homecooked, is launching today! The book includes 15+ written recipes and video tutorials so you can watch exclusive, delicious, and calming video content all at once🤩! You can shop the cookbook in the link in my bio or go to cookwithdana.com/shop

All the recipes mean a lot to me because they were the foods that my parents made for me as a kid. As I've gotten older, I started appreciating these dishes more because they remind me of home! Most importantly, I wanted to pass down authentic recipes and share the meaning behind some Chinese traditions to my kids and virtual friends (hehe you!) 💜   If you grew up in a Cantonese household and you miss some 'homecooked' food, you have to make these recipes ◡̈  (I got Sai Yeung Choy Tong there for my canto gang!)

I've been cooking with my family this past year in the kitchen to taste test and film how to make their best dishes. We tweaked and MEASURED (IYKYK) all our recipes to ensure that you can have a taste of our home. Some of my favorite recipes in the cookbook are cha siu, crab with vermicelli, and pork & chive potstickers! It would mean the world to us if you cooked these recipes as well. 

Hope you get to cook an authentic Chinese feast or learn more about Chinese culture with Homecooked♥️💛 

If you wondered how the aesthetics are sooo 👌🏼, or you've already seen how BEAUTIFUL they look, all credit to my SUPER TALENTED friends @aiireeyo @lifted.and 

Also thank you for the ones the liked my first post hehe I messed up 🤣 and reposted again.

Check out my reels to see the ginger scallion lobster recipe and video. I used fresh lobster and fried the ginger and scallions in @cookwithyouyou tea seed oil! I love using the oil when cooking food in high heat (for that wok hei flavaa 😉)
