Another recipe from my lovely cousin in law! I happened to be defrosting a big box of chicken thighs, had been thinking about experimenting with the container of miso I recently purchased, and voila! Her surprise recipe email arrived in my inbox on the same day! The chicken turned out tasty, though I might want…

3 Cup Chicken! The name itself is interesting to me, and it brings back some good memories of when we were back at Taiwan, my Mama would cook it for us on cold nights. I decided to braise the chicken for 30-40 minutes to make sure the meat fell off the bones at the gentlest…

Normally I use the “1, 2, 3, 4, 5” recipe to braise ribs, but since the beginning of the year I’ve been on a “let’s try something new kick”, so of course tonight it no exception. The only issue is I can’t figure out how come the original recipe called for only 10 minutes of…

This is a guest post from my buddy Moureen, she is a wonderful cook and is very well versed in many styles of Asian cooking. I am not familiar with Indonesian/Malaysian food, though from the very limited experience I’ve had, the dishes tend to be a lot more flavorful than basic Chinese dishes (no offense…

I’ve watched hubby eaten Vietnamese shaken beef, but can’t seem to recall whether I’ve ordered them specifically at restaurants. Beef cooking is sort of a mystery to me, I am not big on eating bloody food, and always order my steak Medium Well (I know, what a waste of a good piece of meat!). Cooking…

I went to the new Asian super market last night,  not entirely impressed with the crowd, but the selection is better than the older market, so will definitely give it another chance on a weekday in the coming weeks. I have been looking up new recipes to try for this week, and tonight’s main dish…

I bought a bottle of sweet soy sauce last week, this is a very interesting product because my Mama has never used it in her cooking, I’ve never even heard of it until my buddy graciously gave me her sate recipe, and it called for sweet soy sauce. Well now I am finding all kinds…

So this is something I whipped up today, was planning to cook chestnut chicken but really wanted to do something different, so came up with something on my own. The result was surprisingly good, and almost effortlessly easy! I also went to the library to look up cookbooks for more inspirations, hopefully there will be…

Last year at my birthday celebration, my buddy Moureen made these wonderful chicken and pork satay,  her husband graciously grilled them for everyone to munch on; of course I begged her for the recipe and today they came to use. Because I don’t have all the ingredients, so the dish you see is the improvised…

Happy New Year everyone! This is my first new recipe for the year 2011, and a super simple one! During the holidays I brought my little girl to a neighborhood Japanese restaurant, she ordered Teriyaki Chicken and couldn’t get over how delicious the sauce was, so this is my attempt at recreating the dish. I…
