Soft shell crab bun(Airfryer) 炸軟殼蟹包 (氣炸煱)

Today when I shopped at H-Mart. I found a box of soft shell crab for sell $39.99 per box. It has 6 crabs in a box. I originally want to deep fry them by using a electric deep fryer. But I want to try to use Air Fryer method first and it turns out not bad at all. I think I will also try traditional deep fryer next time. 

For the bun, I purchased it from Freshco Freezer section. It comes with 10 per bag and each bag $5.xx. You just need to take out the bun and steam it for a few minutes. They are ready to serve! 

Please view my YouTube demonstration on how to make Soft Shell Crab Bun with AirFryer!! Enjoy! 

巴斯克焦香芝士蛋糕 (氣炸鍋) Basque Burnt Cheesecake (Air fryer)

Last week when we had Bubble Tea at our friend's Boba Boy Kerrisdale store, I saw Castella Cheesecake is selling Basque Cheesecake (6") for $15. I like their cheese tart, and I think their cheesecake should be good too. And of course, it is not bad. I like the caramel taste from the burnt cake top. And cheesecake is creamy and moist. And then I think I can make a cheaper cake than Castella. And I have all the ingredients at home. So I decided to make my own. And my hubby and daughter love it and it is very easy to make. 

This recipe is Airfryer method. I chose to use Airfryer is because the weather is hot in Vancouver to stay in kitchen with oven is on. Airfryer releases less heat than a traditional oven.  And I am glad that to say my cost is no more than $6❤❤. Please watch the video below that I made for this recipe post!

Sound weird ehh?? Yes it is the first impression that I first tried the Salted Egg Yolk Ice Cream Bar recently. I will say it is similar to Ice-Cream with Salted Caramel. If you like sweet with a hint of savoury taste, you will love this dessert for sure. And if you love salted egg yolk, you will definitely need to try this. 

This recipe is a no churn version. So don't worry if you don't have a ice-cream machine.
