Sumptuous Meals at Home Made Easy with Ya Chou Foods

Noodles, dim sum, Taiwanese sausages and mantho are just some of the familiar Taiwanese dishes we love, but enjoying these comforting flavors at home may be a bit difficult with the on-going quarantine restrictions. From sourcing the fresh ingredients to long hours in the kitchen, there has to be an easier way. And yes, there is...

Emerging new consumer habits continue to define the quarantine experience where dining at home, the rise of the food delivery culture and increased online usage become the norm rather than exception, But going through your long list of usual food delivery options can lead to flavor fatigue and burn-out. 

Why not prepare authentic Taiwanese dishes at home instead? Ya Chou Foods makes it easy with their extensive range of fresh frozen product offerings including noodles and dim sum that you can take straight out of the freezer to your pot, pan or steamer and to your plate in minutes. Authentic flavors without the fuss, that's what you get from Ya Chou Foods (for more on the authentic Taiwanese offerings of Ya Chou Foods, see my previous posts, Dining in the Next Normal: Rich and Authentic Flavors, Packed Frozen and Straight to the Pan by Ya Chou Foods on their popular bestsellers and Steamed or Fried? Mantho, Betso-Betso, Cheng Pao and More by Ya Chou Foods on my first experience with Ya Chou Foods).

Real flavors and authenticity are what sets countless food delivery options apart in a cluttered market that's continuously evolving in this new normal. Using the freshest ingredients and traditional recipes, Ya Chou Foods recreates classic Taiwanese flavors throughout its extensive product line-up to satisfy any craving without leaving home. Packed frozen, all you have to do is bring out the pot, pan or steamer and your hearty Taiwanese meal will be ready in just a few minutes. The added convenience means you don't have to spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen so you can enjoy your meal.  

Ya Chou Foods combines freshness, quality, authenticity and convenience in all their packaged products. Packed and sealed, you can stock-up and store a wide variety of tasty offerings in the freezer for the long quarantine days and simply pull out a pack for your next meal at home. Noodles or dim sum and traditional Scallion Pancakes, there's just quite nothing like enjoying these favorites fresh from the home kitchen to your dining table. 

The Onion Pizza by Ya Chou Foods is Ya Chou Foods' take on the traditional Taiwanese Scallion Pancake, packed frozen and ready-to-cook. Simply sear on a hot pan until lightly browned and crisp, and it's done. The savory pancake is the perfect side to your Taiwanese feast at home, delivering fresh flavors with every bite. 

Soft and mildly chewy with a delicate crispness around the edges, top your Onion Pizza by Ya Chou Foods with fresh spring onions or leeks with your favorite dipping sauce. The fresh and clean notes of the onions cut through for a distinct flavor followed by the rich nutty notes of the pancake.

And all it takes are just a few minutes to prepare this traditional Taiwanese dish at home. That's what makes Ya Chou Foods different from the usual food delivery options as you can enjoy all the rich and familiar notes at its flavorful peak straight from pan to your plate. It's innovative offerings like these that bring back real flavors to the home kitchen.

Mention Taiwan and Taiwanese sausages pop up. Pan-fried or grilled, the fragrant Taiwan Sausage by Ya Chou Foods with its sweet and smoky flavors just transforms any meal at home either for breakfast, lunch or dinner with its savory richness. Perfect too when grilled and served with an ice-cold beer.

You'll find this popular staple in the streets of Taipei, often grilled and served in skewers. And now you can serve it at home too. Top it with thinly sliced slivers of fresh garlic for that Taiwanese touch and it's ready for the table. 

Each bite is announced by audible snap followed by the sweet savory richness of the succulent pork with mild smoky hints. Just a tad sweeter and juicier than the usual Chinese dried sausages with its predominantly salty finish, the plump Taiwan Sausage delivers a burst of unctuous notes draping the palate with its bold flavors. The fresh garlic adds a layer of contrasting and sharp notes to temper the rich porky profile of the sausage for balanced flavors. 

And it's also a great option for breakfast at home, served with garlic fried rice and a pair of sunny-side up eggs. And don't forget the slivers of fresh garlic. 

And just like all of the offerings from Ya Chou Foods, you can fire up your Taiwan Sausages straight from the freezer to the pan or grill and to your plate in minutes. Home-cooked meals add a comforting vibe and warmth to any dining experience and when you can prepare a sumptuous meal that's easy without the fuss, that's an even better deal. Now you can with Ya Chou Foods.

One of my favorite offerings from Ya Chou Foods is their selection of noodles. The fresh frozen noodles of Ya Chou Foods are included in my top noodle picks during the quarantine (more on my post here at Dining in the Next Normal: Let's Talk Noodles...). From plain noodles which you can use for soups or dry noodle dishes to variants packaged with special sauces, Ya Chou has just the right pack for you. Each pack of the flavored noodles comes with three servings of fresh noodles and three sachets of sauces for a complete meal. The savory noodles from Ya Chou Foods include Fried Shallot Noodles, Spicy Bean Noodles and Minced Pork Noodles, each one with its own distinct flavors.

From the freezer, simply drop a pack of noodles in a pot then drain. While still hot, pour the sauce, mix well and that's it. Great as is, the bite and mouthfeel of the noodles with its springy texture release intense flavors from the flavored sauce. Make it a real meal by topping it with fresh leeks and Vegetarian Dumplings, also from Ya Chou Foods.

I've tried the Minced Pork Noodles with a variety of toppings, including dumplings, meatballs and even slabs of bacon but the crispy pork belly just works perfectly.
