Do you love celebrating Mid-Autumn with food that warms your heart and puts you in a cheerful mood? Do you want to discover new ways to indulge in sweet Taiwanese pomelo with your dinner or dessert? At U-Like, we believe that the Mid-Autumn Festival is all about family, warmth, and sharing joy. Therefore, we are pleased to present our favorite Mid-Autumn dishes that complement Taiwanese pomelo—easily prepared using our Classic Ceramic Woks and Pans and Heat-Resistant Casserole series.
Cooking with Taiwanese Pomelo During Mid-Autumn
In our kitchen, Taiwanese pomelo isn’t just for eating fresh—it’s a key ingredient for building balanced flavors. Its light bitterness and natural citrusy sweetness pair beautifully with meat dishes and traditional sweet soups. We find that cooking with pomelo helps offset rich flavors and brings a refreshing layer to otherwise heavy meals.
To retain that delicate flavor, we always use cookware that distributes heat evenly and doesn’t overpower the ingredients. That’s why we rely on our Heat-Resistant Casserole for gentle simmering and our Classic Ceramic Woks and Pans for quick, high-heat cooking.
Recipe 1: Pomelo Chicken Stir-Fry
A quick and flavorful dish perfect for a Mid-Autumn dinner
Ingredients:
-
300g boneless chicken thigh, sliced thinly
-
1 cup fresh Taiwanese pomelo segments (separated)
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
-
1 teaspoon sesame oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 small onion, sliced
-
1 tablespoon cooking oil
-
Chopped spring onions for garnish
Instructions:
-
Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil for 10 minutes.
-
Heat oil in a Classic Ceramic Wok or Pan over medium-high heat.
-
Add garlic and onions. Sauté until fragrant.
-
Add marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through.
-
Toss in pomelo segments and stir gently for 1 minute—just enough to warm the fruit without breaking it apart.
-
Turn off heat and garnish with spring onions. Serve with steamed rice.
We prefer this stir-fry during cooler evenings when something tangy and savory hits just right. The pomelo’s slight bitterness balances the umami from the sauces beautifully.
Recipe 2: Sweet Red Bean Pomelo Soup
A comforting dessert soup perfect after a heavy Mid-Autumn meal
Ingredients:
-
1 cup red beans, soaked overnight
-
5 cups water
-
½ cup coconut milk
-
¼ cup rock sugar (adjust to taste)
-
1 cup Taiwanese pomelo segments (chopped)
-
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
-
Drain soaked red beans and place them in a Heat-Resistant Casserole with 5 cups of water.
-
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until beans are soft (about 45 minutes to 1 hour).
-
Add rock sugar and salt. Stir until fully dissolved.
-
Pour in coconut milk and stir gently. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
-
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before adding the pomelo segments.
-
Serve warm or chilled.
This dessert is mildly sweet, creamy, and light on the stomach. The pomelo adds a fresh burst that keeps the soup from feeling too rich—making it one of our favorite ways to end a festive meal.
