Through my new Foodie friend Nami at Just One Cookbook I joined Food Buzz a few days ago. It’s been so wonderful to see all the postings and passionate people who are willing to build such a HUGE community and share their recipes/experiences! I am feeling even more motivated to cook new dishes and think…
Marinated Tofu (side dish)
Tofu is a very big part of my life, being lactose sensitive, I do try to use soy products and dark green vegi into my dishes so the family can get enough calcium. Marinated tofu is a very simple side dish to prepare, it literally takes no more than 5 minutes and we all enjoy…
Asparagus & Tofu
I know there are not that many good vegetarian recipes on my blog, because most of the time I just toss vegi with some simple seasoning (fish sauce, soy sauce, or chicken flavored seasoning) and call it a day. I believe Chinese people like to let the natural flavor of the vegetable shin through instead…
Pad Thai!
Can you tell from the title of this posting that I am VERY excited about the recipe? I have been a little under the weather and didn’t want to prepare anything too labor intensive, there’s a page in my Redbook Magazine with modified Pad Thai recipe, I’ve been eyeing it but had no idea what…
Asian Style Chicken Tenders
Promised my little girl to enjoy the fresh air and play with her buddies (while I chat with my buddies: The Moms) this afternoon, I was looking for an easy chicken recipe for tonight’s dinner that doesn’t require a lot of preparation. This turned out real well, and I’ve decided baking is a great way…
Crab Cakes
Since the big can of crab meat is open and only 1/3 of it has been used, I decided to use the rest last night. My generous neighbor had mentioned he makes simple crab cakes, so I decided it’s time to give it a try. Gotta tell ya, these are almost as good as the…
Tofu with Crab Meat
So my very generous neighbor gave me 2 big o cans of crab meat yesterday, though I had a hard time finding a good Asian recipe that has lump crab meat as a main ingredient. Somehow tofu came into my mind and this certainly was a good combination! Very easy to prepare also… Ingredients *2…
Steamed silken tofu with shrimp and egg
I saw some recipes online where people use round shaped tofu, it always intrigued me and wonder where do they get such cute looking silken tofu… Well apparently most Asian markets do carry them, I just never paid attention! It’s hard to see in the photo, but I actually bought a tube of silken tofu…
Kung Pao Chicken
Sorry for the lack of posting in the last few days, work has been swamped so I chose sleep over blogging late at night. Well the good thing is I didn’t let work get in the way of cooking, in fact I find food preparation so relaxing now a days, it’s really a good way…
Korean Style Pork Chop
It’s always good when the family’s buzzing around me when I am cooking, I assume it’s because the smell draws them there! Well this is a very simple dish to prepare, just need to remember the marinate the pork chop the night before to ensure the flavor soaks through… 10-12 pieces of thinly sliced pork…
Fish Paste Rolls
Trying to come up with a good night’s meal after not making it to the super market was no easy task. Good thing I remembered there’s a tub of frozen fish paste I have been meaning to experiment with, bad thing was it’s a crazy idea to do something so “experiment-ish” on a Monday night!…
Steamed tofu with topping
Yum Yum Yum! What an easy, healthy and delicious recipe! Being Chinese and grew up eating tofu, I understand how versatile soy products can be. After moving to the U.S. over 20 years ago, it always puzzled me how most Americans have a hard time stomach the idea of eating tofu for pleasure. Well whether…
