The reason for using softened butter is that you want to beat the butter (also called “creaming the butter”), either with sugar or without, and it’s very hard to beat a cold stick of butter. Why beat the butter? To get air bubbles into it which will expand when baking. The best thing to do to soften your butter is to put it out on the kitchen counter for a half hour before you have to use it....

What Are Freeze-Dried Raspberries? The frosting makes this cake shine! It’s a bright, tart, and undeniably-raspberry-flavored frosting made with ground freeze-dried raspberries. Freeze-drying is a method of preserving the raspberries by freezing them and removing water with a low-pressure vacuum. They become light as a feather while preserving their tartness and sweetness. Pulverize whole freeze-fried raspberries in a food processor or spice grinder into a flavorful berry dust. Freeze-dried raspberries can be found at most grocery stores these days, usually in 1- to 2-ounce packages....

Try it with Chinese Chicken Wings, Asian Glazed Salmon or Asian Chilli Garlic Prawns (Shrimp)! Vermicelli Noodle Salad Asian cuisine doesn’t really have the equivalent of Western “go to” side salads like Coleslaw, Rocket and Parmesan, or Garden Salads.

It’s one of those sides that I called a two-in-one, being that it’s made with vermicelli noodles, which helps fill out the meal instead of having rice on the side, plus plenty of crunchy fresh vegetable....

What’s So Special About Pasta Water? When boiling pasta, you may notice that the water becomes progressively cloudy as it cooks. This is excess starch released by the pasta and it’s the reason you should save some of the water before draining. The starch acts as a binder and, when combined with fat like butter or oil, creates an emulsion. This emulsion pulls all the elements in the sauce together and helps create a creamy sauce that doesn’t get too dry, which better coats the noodles....

Wontons are small dumplings wrapped in thin wheat flour wrappers. They are usually boiled and served in a broth or sauce. For this recipe, I make a chicken broth with garlic, ginger, and scallions. The filling in my wonton is a basic one, aromatic without being overwhelming: ground pork, ginger, garlic, scallions, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, salt, and black pepper. It’s bound with egg and cornstarch. I consider wontons to be a weekend project, one where you can get Zen with the repetitive motions while chatting with family and friends....
