Hubby is the master at fried rice, but since he’s out of town and I wanted to cook something quick for tonight’s dinner, I’ve decided to recreate this dish. Little girl’s hesitant for me to blog about the secret ingredients (sugar and Maggi sauce), but I don’t think hubby would mind for you guys to…
Chinese Steam Bun (花捲)
This is a special posting, little girl and I had the privilage to learn how to make 花捲 from my parents today, I don’t have the specific recipe of the dough yet, will post as soon as my Mom sends it to me. The following are the pictorial steps of how they were made.
Vietnamese Lemon Chicken
I bought some organic chicken thighs on sale and thought about cooking the tried and true ginger chicken for tonight’s dinner. But when it came time for cooking, I wanted to try something new instead. Boy am I glad I did! Viet cooking combines more layers of flavor, and this is definitely one that is…
Thai Basil Beef
Cooked every single day this week, I am getting pretty good about estimating what to buy and use up all perishable within 4 weekdays. The sweet basil plant in my organic garden has been growing like crazy, so little girl happily cut a bunch down to help me with flavoring this dish. Definitely a keeper!…
Pepper Pork
This is the other dish I made tonight, got such wonderful praises from hubby and little girl. The sauce is the same as Hong Kong Style Brocolli, a little bit of marination to prep the pork in advance made it even more flavorful. 2 green bell pepper, cut into bite size 1 pound of pork…
Spice Rub Baby Back Ribs
Sorry guys for the lack of postings lately, it’s not that I haven’t cooked, but I am running out of ideas for new dishes. It so happens that I completed a big website project this afternoon, so there was some breathing room for recipe searching. I’ve modified the original recipe, because it was very very…
Slow Cooker Pork Ribs
Hi All, I have not gone to the grocery store for a few weeks for a proper shopping trip, since the fridge is still functioning at 50%. Instead of wallowing in my agony, this has become an opportunity for me to make do with whatever we have in the freezer and pantry, and it sure…
Tofu Noodles w/ Asparagus
My Mama gave me a bunch of real skinny asparagus, I thought about baking them with salt, pepper and olive in high heat for 10 minutes, but didn’t think it would go well with the other dish for tonight’s dinner, so instead whipped this up, real simple and tasty, although little girl didn’t particularly enjoy…
Sa Cha (沙茶) Pork
Was chatting with my Mama and discussing new recipe ideas, she brought up this delicious dish we both had at my cousin’s birthday party, and told me how she cooked her version after going home. I’ve added bamboo shoot to mine to make it even more healthy, hubby said it was good but definitely needs…
Japanese Seaweed Salad
I grew up loving all types of seaweed dishes, but Japanese seaweed salad was not introduced to me until the last few years. As many of you might know, they are super pricey and there’s never enough to go around. Last weekend I decided to buy a package of salted seaweed, found a simple salad…
Slow Cooker: Asian Beef Stew
Are you tired of seeing me utilizing slow cooker once again? I was discussing this cooking method with my Mama last weekend, and she was surprised that the finished dishes tuned out so flavorful, since both her and I had the misconception that using Crock Pot would dilute the finished broth… Maybe I talked my…
Slow Cooker: Short Ribs
Since the slow cooked pork shoulder turned out well, and there were 2 logo design projects that needed to get finalized, so I decided to find another crock pot recipe. This one was modified since I didn’t have any cabbage around, so Napa cabbage was used instead, which watered down the sauce and made it…
