ABC Soup | Easiest Chinese Soup (Under 1 Hour)
ABC soup is one of those classic everyday dishes that Singaporeans cook when first learning to prepare meals for themselves. It is so ubiquitous that the supermarket often sells its ingredients all cut up and ready for the home cook. While every home has a different version of this dish, most share some common ingredients - carrot, some form of meat, corn, potatoes, and onion. I’m not a fan of onion in this particular soup, so I omit it, replacing it with tomatoes instead. I like the way the tomato ‘melts’ into the light broth, imparting umami, a slight tang, and a reddish tint. The way I cook this at home now is influenced by the way my mom prepares her chicken soup - she cooks cut pieces of chicken in a dry pot until they start exuding oil, essentially frying in their own fat, until light golden brown. This step lends the soup so much flavour in such a short period of time that you can get a pot of really good soup without having to watch over it for hours. Instead of simmering, I boil the soup like my mom does to get more flavour into the broth quickly - if you have more time and patience, you could allow it to cook the entire day, but I often don’t plan ahead when I’m making soup.
ABC Soup
Serves 4-6
900g chopped chicken (any part will do but I like using the carcass and wings)
200g carrot, cut into coins
400g corn, cut into thirds
Water to cover
Salt to taste
300g peeled potatoes, cut into chunks
200g tomatoes (reddest and ripest you can find), cut into wedges
In a large pot that preferably accommodates the chicken in a single layer, add the chicken and set over high heat. Cook until the chicken starts to fry in its own fat and turns a light golden brown. Add carrot, corn, and roughly enough water to cover (don’t add too much water). Bring to a boil and add salt to taste. Continue to cook on medium-high heat for at least 15 minutes, covered. While the soup cooks, I’d prepare other dishes for the meal and cook rice. Add the potatoes and tomatoes and cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart and the tomatoes have completely disintegrated into the soup, about 15 minutes.

Zero-Skill Vegan Recipe! Quick Braised Vegetables w/ Red Fermented Tofu 南乳炆斋 Chinese Vegetarian
This true vegetarian dish - Quick Braised Vegetables with Red Fermented Tofu is also called Buddha's Delight (罗汉斋), and is made with reddish-brown fermented bean curd or tofu (南乳). You can add any vegetables that you like, but the most common are cabbage, fried bean curd skin, black fungus, and mushrooms are used. You can also add glass noodles and black moss to bulk up the dish.
When it comes to eating during the Lunar New Year period, Chinese commonly believe that more and more luxurious food is better. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, however, many households choose a vegetarian diet in honour of Buddha. Devout Buddhists go vegetarian on the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month to honour Buddha and accumulate good karma. Some people believe that doing so on the first day of the first lunar month will bring them even more good karma. Though it’s less common these days, on the night before the first day of Chinese New Year, families traditionally make a vegetarian dish called 守岁斋 (literally means guard year vegetarian dish) on the night before the first day of CNY. Chinese traditionally stay up late on the eve of the Lunar New Year as a practise known as 守岁 (guarding the year) to help prolong their parents' lives. We hope you'll enjoy this dish as much as we did. Happy cooking!

Here is what you'll need!
Chinese-Style Glazed Pork Belly
Servings: 2-3
INGREDIENTS
500 grams pork belly, preferably lean
1 liter water
4 slices ginger
1 spring onion, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed
15 milliliters oil
25 grams brown sugar
45 milliliters light soy sauce
45 milliliters dark soy sauce
30 milliliters rice wine, shaoxing
250 milliliters water
Cooked rice, to serve
Sliced green onions, to serve
PREPARATION
Cut the pork belly into roughly 1-inch chunks.
Bring the water to a boil in a pot, then add the pork, ginger, onion, and garlic, cooking for about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the pork from the water and drain it on a plate lined with a paper towel. Discard the remaining water and vegetables. After cleaning and drying the pot, heat it with the oil over high heat.
Place the pork back in, cooking until browned. The oil may pop and splash so be careful.
Add the brown sugar, turning the heat to low. Stir continuously until the sugar has melted, caramelized, and coated the pork evenly.
Immediately add the soy sauces and rice wine, stirring and cooking for about 5-6 minutes or until the liquid has reduced into a thick glaze.
Add the water, stir, and cover the pot for about 45 minutes. Make sure the mixture is at a low simmer, not boiling. Check and stir every 10 minutes or so and add water if the pot is getting dry.
When the 45 minutes are up, remove the lid, checking to see if the sauce coats the pork in a very thick glaze. If it is too runny, continue to stir, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced.
Serve immediately over a bowl of rice and sprinkle with sliced green onions.
