Hello there! I have been craving Curry Chicken ever since Nami from Just One Cookbook shared her recipe a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately my pantry lacked several of the ingredients that were needed, to make do I had to look around for something else to accommodate what I had on hand. This Curry Chicken…
Crab Fried Rice
Been a crazy couple of days, Mother’s Day didn’t turn out as relaxing as I hope it to be, but a Mother’s life is suppose to be filled with activities and excitement anyway, so no complains here! This week’s schedule is jam packed, with design project deadlines and my little girl’s first grade classes coming…
Early Mother’s Day Lunch
My Mama is an avid cook and she’s very proud of the fact that I’ve taken an interest in it the last couple of years. We chat on the phone pretty often, most of the time the topic of “what are you making today?” comes up, and we exchange tips of what to do in…
Asian Style Cream Corn Soup
Did everyone have a great weekend? We did quite a bit of Spring cleaning, and I’ve decided instead of hiring the cleaning crew once a month, I will clean a part of the house each day, and just have the professionals work their magic on a quarterly basis. This way we should save some money…
Taro Tapioca Soup
Little girl and I had a relaxing afternoon, while she played with her little buddies, the Moms hung out while sitting on the lawn (We refer to this as “Grass Date”, pretty much a play date on grass…). Planning ahead, I had put some ribs in the slow cooker since around noon, so the main…
Steamed Fish
Frozen Basa fish fillets are a stable in my household, they are inexpensive, tasty, and absolutely none of that weird fishy smell that I can’t stomach. This recipe is adapted from Rasa Malaysia, my family did find it to be on the sweeter side (we have more of a savory taste when it comes to…
Stuffed Fried Tofu
I remember eating pork stuffed tofu back at Taiwan, my Mama would braise them in soy sauce, though tasty, they were always a bit on the salty side. I bought some large fried tofu and decided they would work well as an ingredient for this recipe, the bean sprouts made things much lighter, which meant…
Fried Gluten (烤麩)
Every other Sunday I take my little girl to visit my parents and hang out with her cousins. Now the kids are a little older, instead of having to watch over them to make sure no one gets in trouble, the adults actually have some time to catch up and relax. My Mama is a…
Beef Noodle Soup (150th Posting!)
My parents make a killer Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, it normally takes a whole day of prepping and cooking, just the thought of eating it makes my mouth water! I have been searching for an easier alternative that’s also tasty, my goodness this could be the one! My husband normally complains about the amount of…
Tofu Seaweed Miso Soup
Here I am with an empty fridge again! Planned on heading to HEB right after picking little girl up from school, but the Texas heat helped change my mind, so this evening was time for some creative cooking. Good thing is there was a box of Chinese Spaghetti in the freezer, also frozen green onion…
Stir Fry Noodles (Chow Mein)
I had a crazy afternoon, with tax filing and client interfacing, before you know it it’s 6pm! Little girl kept on telling me it’s time to cook, but I was pulling my hair out trying to tie up some lose ends before dinner time. Finally I decided to just cook something super simple. Inspired by…
Peppered Pork
Peppered Beef or Pork has always been kind of a mystery to me, are we talking about the bell pepper or are we talking about the black pepper? Since I’ve not figured this out yet, tonight’s dinner included BOTH! This is a very simple dish that requires less than 30 minutes from start to finish….
