Definitely not one of my best, the recipe needs more flavor, it was pretty bland and flat, so I am on a quest to find a better Broccoli Beef recipe, share if you have one that’s flavorful! BEEF: □ 2 tsp. soy sauce □ 1/4 tsp. sugar □ 1/4 tsp. salt □ 3/4 lb. boneless…
Hot & Sweet Chicken Thigh
This dish was fairly simple and inexpensive, I can’t believe how flavorful it turned out. The white stuff on the bottom is rice noodles, mixed it with the left over sauce and little girl ate it up! Ingredients * 5 bone-in chicken thighs (about 1-3/4 pounds), skin removed * 5 teaspoons Crisco® Pure Olive Oil…
Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi
Looks like we are getting a lot of seafood on one night! I saw this beautiful fillet of Mahi Mahi at the market and had to purchase it, you’d be surprised I’ve actually never cooked Mahi before, this dish turned out well, but I would recommend saving some glaze for dipping, I poured the whole…
Spinach with imitation Crabs
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…
Viet Salt & Pepper Shrimp
Looks like I only cooked 10 shrimps here, but this is what’s left after dinner. The original photo was accidentally deleted on my iPhone, so i tried salvage the dish by gathering whatever was left over on the plate. Well you guys get the idea… Hubby and little girl absolutely LOVED this! Fairly simple to…
Ma Po Tofu
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…
Oldies but Goodies!
Had a highly busy but in-efficient day at the home office, so didn’t have a lot of time to find new recipes. Thought I would just cook some tried and true dishes, so here they are, Semi-Homemade Green Onion Pancakes, 1,2,3,4,5 (Chinese Pork Stew) and stir fried bean sprouts with tofu. Going to serve the…
Lion Heads
This dish turned out real well, although the family didn’t appreciate it as much as I wanted them to. My Mom would cook “Lion Heads” on special occasions, so I always thought it’s a difficult dish to make, who knew this simple recipe captures the essence of this traditional Chinese dish so well! Ingredients *…
Sweet Black Pepper Fish
This is a tried and true dish, I’ve cooked it about 10 times and the family always eat it up. Very low in calories and fat, but tons of flavor! Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 2 tablespoons sauce) Ingredients 1/2 cup water, divided 3 tablespoons sugar 2 1/2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce…
Coconut Flavored Almond Tofu
Went to the Asian market this morning and pass by these Almond Tofu powder mix. It comes in many flavors: almond, mango, coconut, etc. The steps are simple, mix the powder with some water and let boil, then add milk (I used unsweetened soy milk), and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Add some canned…
Chinese Beef Stew with Dry Tofu
After the big failure last night, I’ve decided Asian food is more up my alley. Tonight’s beef stew is an adaptation of something I’ve cooked before mixed with a new recipe. The taste is sweeter and really blended well with the dry tofu. Nothing’s more comforting than beef stew on a cold winter night! Ingredients…
Stir-Fried Asparagus With Ground Pork
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…
