I had some store bought crab meat stuffed talapia, and some fried rice, thought fried tofu would be a good addition to dinner. 1 box of tofu 1-2 tablespoon of oil 1 stalk of green onion, angle cut slices 1 tablespoon of shredded wood fish Spicy dumpling dipping sauce Cut the tofu into big pieces,…

Made 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Pork for dinner, needed something light to accommodate the meat dish, decided to throw this together with my own recipe. BTW while cleaning the cabbage, I found a dead worm in between the leafs, yeah, not very pleasant but definitely a good reminder to clean vegetables well before cooking….

Another green dish, stir fried with Vietnamese pork paste patties, which is a family favorite. My dog circles me around and tried to snatch whenever I am not looking! 1 tablespoon oil A bag of baby bean leaf Vietnamese Pork paste pattie, cubed 3-4 tablespoon chicken stock 2 teaspoon chicken flavored seasoning 3 garlic, minced…

So we ordered some salt and pepper tofu yesterday from Chinatown, it was tasteless! I decided to make it better today with the left over, sort of doing my part in “recycling”. 1 chili pepper 1 small onion 1/2 tablespoon oil 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper…

Found some old Chinese cook books while visiting my parents last weekend, this dish is actually something we order in restaurants or serve for special occasions, but the recipe didn’t look difficult, so I decided to give it a try tonight.

My little girl loves imitation crabs, since they are made with white fish, this is a good way for us to get the recommended weekly servings. Super easy to cook and there was none left for tomorrow’s lunch. 1 pound fresh spinach 1 bag of imitation crabs/lobsters 4 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable…

Dinner tonight was a big hit! I made a variation of Ma Po Tofu, just a bit of spice to accommodate my little girl, she has a life time to train her taste buds to take the original super spicy recipe! Ingredients: 1 block silken tofu (19 oz box) 1/4 lb ground pork 3 tablespoons…

Normally I would serve toasted asparagus with pan seared salmon, sort of an American Dish (My little girl says that’s something I can challenge Bobby Flay with, she’s quite the flatterer!) Tonight I decided to serve it Asian style, the result was really quite good, and following the cooking time indicated in the recipe, the…
