A period of living in the Far East and learning about the various local cuisines, led
Dikla Hayun
to start a cooking blog called Bending Sticks, in which she shares recipes for local dishes from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and even Korea.
After teaching us to make a Japanese burger, Takikumi Gohan - a meal of rice with salmon in one pot and also a basic recipe for proper sushi, she moves to Hong Kong with a corrupt pastry that combines East and West.
The family pastry, which has motifs reminiscent of lasagna from Italian cuisine, is made from stir-fried rice and mushrooms with Chinese seasoning, baked in tomato sauce and creamed with lots of mozzarella.
"It's a classic dish served in local cafes (cha chaan teng), which got their influence from the English who ruled Hong Kong. The dish is usually prepared with meat (chicken or pork ribs), but I made the vegetarian version and used the king of the forest mushrooms whose texture bites. And they are an excellent substitute for meat. "
