Shrimp Toast is all about its crispy crust, golden-brown shell, with the perfect amount of bouncy, chewy shrimp paste. A flavorful mixture of ground shrimp is spread onto slices of white bread. You can then air-fry, pan-fry, or like what we are doing today – deep-fry them. I normally like to pair it with the Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, but I was out of that at home. I used Kewpie Mayo with sprinkles of paprika instead, and it turned out surprisingly delicious.

Today, I will be making an easy Cured Meat Rice using solely the Panasonic Rice Cooker SR-JMY188. And a simple and delicious dinner will be finished in no time.

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon, and it becomes a tradition for me to make mooncakes since two years ago. This year, I upgraded my recipe for making Snow Skin Mooncakes, so the skin will still be chewy and mochi-like even after 3-4 days in the freezer. In terms of the filling, I am making a simple shredded coconut paste with purple yam lava.

I recently got my hands on some high-quality XO sauce, and I decided to add them to Spicy Chili Oil Wonton. It is an easy, 20-minute dish, and the key to this dish is to find great chili oil. I used a mixture of XO sauce and chili oil, but you can also use your favorite chili oil only. I also used frozen wontons in this recipe, but you can also make fresh ones.
