I know, I know, does this even considered as vegi? Well the truth is I ran out of vegetables for the week, but wanted to make sure my family still has fiber in their diet, so voila! All I did was heat up some olive oil in the wok, then add the frozen corns, stir…
Stir fry Scallops
First time ever cooking scallops, so I was a bit nervous, didn’t want to overcook it, the recipe turned out ok, didn’t have as much flavor as we are used to, so I am going to modify it a bit in the soy sauce department. Also I didn’t realize scallops shrink so much once it’s…
Stir Fry Bok Choi with Chinese Sausages
Gotta get our vegi on every night, although my daughter hasn’t learned to appreciate every type of vegetable yet, hubby and I really like this dish. Wash Bok Choi thoroughly, cut into 1 inch sections. Dice 2 garlic. Slice up 4 Chinese sausages, I give the tips to my dog to eat, so he’s always…
Green Onion Pancakes (Semi Homemade way)
Bought some frozen green onion pancakes from the Asian market today, fried them up in a little bit of olive oil, this particular brand is pretty right on about the flavor, and nice chewy texture. High recommended (I-Mei Foods)

Curry Chicken
Bought a box of Hot Vermont Curry (House Sauce Mix Brand) at the Asian market a couple of months back, never remembered to use it. Since I didn’t have much to work with today, decided to defrost some chicken breast to tes this out. Directions: Cut meat or chicken, onion, potatoes and carrot into…
Stir Fry Bean Sprouts
Had a super busy day today, with not much grocery to work with, I decided to just whip up something simple for tonight’s dinner. Wash bean sprouts thoroughly, cut some fried tofu into triangle shapes (this is not necessary, I just prefer it this way because the sauce gets absorbed easier). Heat up some oil…
Pan Fried Salmon With Honey Sauce
Another super simple dish, I just defrosted some salmon, pan friend it (took about 6 minutes each side), pour the sauce on top, and voila! The family ate it up, and we all got a good dose of Omega-3 tonight! Ingredients 1 piece of Salmon 1 teaspoon of honey 2 tablespoons of soy sauce 1…
Stir-fried Broccoli Hong Kong Style
Normally when I stir fry broccoli, it’s just minced garlic, broccoli and some chicken flavored seasoning. Today I wanted to try something a bit different, other than the sauce ingredients, I realize “SUGAR” is actually important. The result was quite good! Ingredients: 1 pound broccoli Sauce: 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons oyster sauce 1 tablespoon…
Mom’s Cooking
Every other Sundays I bring my little girl to the Gramps to visit. Both of my sisters also bring their children for what we would like to call “Zoo Day at Grandma and GrandPa’s”. The term “Zootourage” has been invented to describe the kids. My mom would cook a feast for all of us to…
Weekend Bonus: Hibachi
The husband decided to take our girl and I to Tokyohana for some hibachi action, though the food was very flavorful, our chef was a in training, so we were a little dissapointed there was no food flipping and onion volcano. What made up for it was the house magician, he was thoroughly entertaining, the…
