Satay Skewers

Sauce

• Prepare a bain-marie (double broiler) by bringing a pot of water to boiling, then reducing the heat to low.
• Place a heatproof bowl over the pot, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
• Add the sauce to the bowl above the water. Gently heat the sauce for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating and to prevent any scorching or sticking.
• Add Sauce To Satay: Generously drizzle peanut sauce over satay. Your satay are now ready to be enjoyed. Relish in the combination of crispy meat and flavorful peanut sauce in every bite.
  • Note that the amount of Peanut Sauce used is to your personal taste.

Satay

• Before You Start: We suggest first gathering the following before you start to prepare your meal: frying pan, double broiler, mixing spoon, plate, paper towels, vegetable oil, water.
• Heat Oil: Fill a pan with enough vegetable oil to fully submerge satay; heat to 350°F, a suitable temperature for deep frying that ensures a crispy exterior without burning. If the satay are too long for the pan, cut them in half for easier handling.
• Cook Satay: Carefully place the satay in the hot oil. Deep fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown, indicating a perfect crispness.
• Drain Satay: After frying, transfer the satay to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. For beef satay, allow them to rest briefly after frying to let juices redistribute, ensuring a more flavorful and tender bite.

Dumplings

Steamed Dumplings

• Before You Start: Dumplings arrive frozen and take 6 – 8 hours to thaw in the refrigerator. We suggest first gathering the following before you start to prepare your meal: pot with steamer basket, water.
• Cook Dumplings: Place in steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam for 7 minutes. Carefully remove from steamer and enjoy hot. Enhance the dumpling’s flavor with the Soy Vinegar Dipping Sauce* included in your package.

Pan-Fried Dumplings

• Before You Start: Dumplings arrive frozen and take 6 – 8 hours to thaw in the refrigerator. We suggest first gathering the following before you start to prepare your meal: pot with steamer basket, water.
• Heat Oil: Over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of low smoke oil to a pan, coating the bottom without pooling and heat until oil is shimmering but not smoking.
• Cook Dumplings: Arrange dumplings in pan so they do not touch. Fry until the bottom of the dumplings are browned and crisped and then reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Add Water For Steaming: Hold the pan’s lid in one hand (as a shield) and carefully pour 1⁄4 cup of water into pan. Expect steam and sizzle; be cautious of oil splatter.
• Steam And Simmer Dumplings: Cover the pan with lid. Let the dumplings simmer and steam for 4-6 minutes (7-10 minutes if they are frozen). Check occasionally to confirm water remains in the pan. Once the water has evaporated, uncover and remove dumplings from pan.
• Enjoy these delightful dumplings hot. Enhance their flavor with the Soy Vinegar Dipping Sauce* included in your package.
  • Note that the amount of Dumpling Sauce used is to your personal taste.

Mr. Cheng’s Noodles

• Before You Start: In addition to the items in your order, you will need the following: pot, pan, water.
• Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add noodles, cook for about 40 seconds to al dente. Be careful not to overcook noodles to maintain the perfect texture.
• Strain Noodles: Once cooked, quickly strain the noodles to remove all the excess water, ensuring they don’t become soggy.
• Prepare Sauce: Heat sauce over medium heat in a separate pan for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and intensify, enhancing the overall taste.

• Enjoy the simple yet delicious flavors of Mr. Cheng’s Noodles, a perfect balance of tender noodles and savory sauce.
