My sister brought over her famous beef tenderloin, which brought back some fond memories of the delicious Thai beef salad I used to order years ago. The warm tender beef and the cold crisp vegetable were a perfect combination with tangy spicy dressing.. (I do not have the beef tenderloin recipe, but the dressing is…

Baked Asian Ribs
I wanted to try another method to cook the spare ribs, found this recipe online that calls for baking instead of braising. I didn’t marinate the ribs beforehand, took about 2 hours in the oven at virtually no work, and the end result was not too shabby! 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce…

Braised ribs on clear noodle
Apparently my family will eat up any dish poured over clear noodles, and this one had the perfect combination.

Napa Cabbage & Tofu
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.
