Hong Kong Food Recipes?

Question

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has recipes for some HK street food:
1. HK style waffles 格仔餅
2. HK style milk tea 奶茶
3. HK style french toast 西多士

Answer 1

Mmmm.......that sounds good right now! what about the smelly tofu? and food balls?

I think the 奶茶, there's actually tea bags you can buy that would taste alike.

the 格仔餅, you will need the actual waffles iron for it or it won't be the same!

and I think the french toast are the same (bread, dip in eggs, fry in butter) but the secret is the syrup.

Answer 2

Hong Kong Style Egg Tarts

INGREDIENTS
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter
1 egg, beaten
1 dash vanilla extract

2/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups water
9 eggs, beaten
1 dash vanilla extract
1 cup canned evaporated milk

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and flour. Mix in butter with a fork until it is in small crumbs. Stir in the egg and vanilla until the mixture forms a dough. The texture should be slightly moist. Add more butter if it is too dry, or more flour, if the dough seems greasy. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and press the balls into tart molds so that it covers the bottom, and goes up higher than the sides. Use 2 fingers to shape the edge into an A shape.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Combine the white sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain the eggs through a sieve, and whisk into the sugar mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla. Strain the filling through a sieve, and fill the tart shells.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown, and the filling is puffed up a little bit.

Answer 3

Hong Kong-Style Sea Bass:

1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger
3 green onions
1/2 cup vegetable oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pound fresh spinach
4 (6-ounce) sea bass or grouper fillets
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup dry sherry
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons sugar

Peel ginger, and cut into thin strips. Cut green onions into 2-inch thin strips; set ginger and green onions aside.

Pour 1/4 cup vegetable oil into a large skillet; place over high heat until hot. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, 5 to 7 seconds; remove and discard garlic. Add spinach to skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until lightly wilted. Spoon spinach onto serving plates, and keep warm.

Place fish in a steamer basket or bamboo steamer over boiling water; cover and steam 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Place fish on spinach; top with ginger and green onions.

Combine remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil and sesame oil in skillet; place over high heat until hot. Drizzle over fish.

Bring soy sauce and next 3 ingredients to a boil in skillet. Drizzle half of mixture over fish; serve immediately with remaining mixture.
