When corn is in season, my family always requests this dish. It's a crispy, sweet tempura made from fresh corn. The origin of this recipe: I once saw a TV show featuring tempura made with fresh corn and wanted to try it at home. It's crispy and seasoned only with salt, which makes the corn taste incredibly sweet. This is a favorite recipe that gets requested every corn season.

I've been eating these croquettes all the time but the ones I make always taste a little different from my mother's. I was going to ask her how to make it, but I haven't still asked. She made it for me recently and I realized that the difference comes from the amount of potatoes used. I think my croquettes are now similar to the ones my mom makes?Make sure to extract the water from the ingredients. Shape the potato mixture while it's still hot and let it cool down before coating and dredging it. Recipe by Donpintan

Falafel is a deep-fried ball, or a flat or doughnut-shaped patty, made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, or both. Herbs, spices, and onion relatives are commonly added to the dough. It is an Egyptian dish as well as a very famous, pseudo-national, Middle Eastern dish, that most likely originated in Egypt. The fritters are now found around the world as part of vegetarian cuisine, and as a form of street food.

Pastel is a typical fast-food Brazilian snack which is something like an enlarged deep-fried gyoza dumpling!!! In fact, it is said that pastel originated when Japanese immigrants living in Santos adapted this dish. Any kind of filling goes well. A common pastel is filled with either cheese, ham, or ground meat, and then deep fried in vegetable oil.Hints for choosing ingredients: Use the freshest ground meat and parsley as possible. To bring out the flavor of the meat filling, be sure to season with coarsely ground black pepper! The key to making a pastel crunchy, is to flip it over a number of times while deep-frying, until it becomes evenly golden brown! I found "Easy Pasta" brand fresh pasta sheets at Costco.

I haven't made these for years, but recently I've started again to see if my grandkids liked butternut. My granddaughter loves them.

Delicious comfort food meal!!

My sister-in-law asks for this all the time when she comes around. She eats 3 eggs worth on her own. It's our most popular meal.The key is to beat the eggs vigorously and to use a splash of oil. Adding 1 tablespoon of water makes the omelets soft.Note: I've reduced the amount of salt to a third. That's because there's certain kinds of salt that's stronger than other. Recipe by Beru

These chicken strips are similar to ones we get from a restaurant here in Texas we recognize by it's signature yellow box!

My mother used to make these croquettes for me a lot.They're my husband's favorites, so he requests them all the time.You can use just half a frying pan full of oil to fry these croquettes. Drain the oil very well after frying to ensure a light crispy finish.You can use vegetable oil to sauté the onions too. For 6 croquettes. Recipe by Pandakosan

Delicious and super easy!

This is a family favorite that I've been making for a long time. You can enjoy it with a tartare sauce-like mixture of mayonnaise (3 tablespoons) + grainy mustard (1 to 2 teaspoons).In Step 1, if the odor of the oysters bothers you, soak them in milk for a while after rinsing them in water. In Step 2, put the cake flour in a plastic bag and coat the oysters in the flour. Shake off any excess flour.Also in Step 2, use fresh panko for plump, soft fried oysters.In Step 3, if you fry the oysters for too long, they will shrink. Just fry them briefly. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I got a lot of sweet potatoes as a gift, so I made them into croquettes: my children's favorite.The texture depends on what kind of sweet potatoes you use. If you don't like it flaky, adjust thickness with milk or fresh cream. I tried to keep the other ingredients to a minimum to highlight the natural taste of the sweet potatoes. Recipe by kazz72

#mycookbookI like adding carrots and ginger to my falafel to give it a little bit of sweetness and extra spice!

I thought that the flavors of two fermented foods, Camembert cheese and kimchi, wouldgo well together. Light flavored chicken breast meat is transformed into something filling and rich tasting.If you don't want to brown the cheese, once you put the cheese on the chicken just put a lid on the frying pan. Take care not to let it burn.Chicken breasts differ in size to adjust the amount of cheese accordingly. For 10 pieces. Recipe by putimiko

I have always preferred homemade fries to the shop brought ones. They take a little bit more effort but they are worth it.

When deep-frying, use enough oil to fill the pan 2~3 cm deep at least. and transferring on a wire rack to drain oil and release steam makes them crispier and healthier. Croquettes are very popular dish in japan many people like and delicious with Worcestershire sauce.

Falafel is a traditional Arab food made with white chickpeas and is served with hummus or garlic sauce.Falafel sandwich is served in pita bread with some veges n salad leaves

As far as I can remember, my aunt's mother, or uncle's mother-in-law, makes the best yam cake (pardon on the family tree complication, LOL!). It is like I'd died and gone to heaven with every bite. The texture is very smooth with a pack full of flavors, unlike those commercial factory made ones. I tried to replicate her yam cake but no where near her standards.Perhaps, I do prefer my yam cake to have more bite which is why I chose to dice the yam finely rather than puree it. I also added a secret ingredient which adds another funky tone to the flavors. Well, it isn't a secret anymore as I am sharing this recipe with you fine. Dried scallops! I am not sure about this claim, but traditionally a Chinese sausage is usually used. I personally do not like the smell nor the taste of a Chinese sausage tho, which led me to choose an alternative (dried scallops) instead. Little did I know, that alternative is the game changer.I do not know the origins of this cake tho. It is largely available in any Chinese dim sum eateries and rumors have it that every single eatery in Hong Kong has each's unique style of making, some are semi-crunchy and some are, like this recipe, steamed for a period of time. Guess you have to find your own preference of yam cake. Without much delay, let's get started with the recipe.
