Been a few years since I have been mumbling to learn how to make a Bak Chang from scratch, wrap them nicely too. And I have been wanting to get my hands on some recipes or even my grandmother's. Unfortunately, my grandmother have been producing kinda different results from what it used to taste. Maybe it is due to her, afraid to eat too saltier etc, resulting in worried about adding too much seasoning. And also an encouragement from my dear fren, she managed to coax me into trying the most difficult feat - Doing them!
I browse a bit, look at other people recipes and find tt it is either too much work, weird ingredients or I simply don't like the combi, I decided to come up with my own.
