Made some #chicken#curry for our family #dinner tonight. Made it medium spicy as my middle brother doesn't like super spicy. We're having it with jasmine rice.
Drawing on happy memories, like the chance to go back to Malen's for their unforgettable beef caldereta and discovering this spacious, pretty cafe in Imus, Cavite that serves good coffee (branding is impressive, too).
#RiceVermicelli with chives & fried eggs; nuoc cham sauce poured over it. Our breakfast today. We'll likely have it for lunch too, with some Chinese greens clear soup.
Day off. Plans are to get caught up on seeds sowing, get food transplants into beds/bigger pots (2 pea types & loganberries), aerate composts, sift soil & prep pots.
Going for a nature walk nearby, after tasks are done. Lovely sunny morning; it'll be a beautiful day 🌞😎
Scrumptious discovery: This grocery-bought bangus sisig (brand is Fisher Farms) makes for a tasty soft taco filling.
The savory, chunky bits were balanced by the sweet and tart sauces we topped it with: mango hazelnut jam, Dijon mustard, and caramelized onions. Perfect for no-rice meals!
Cutting & chopping propagated #GreenOnions to use with Teochew beef & meatball soup. We have 2 jars on our kitchen windowsill that we harvest from. We grow them outdoors too.
So, I tried my hand at bak chor mee last weekend. And while it's not as delicious as the bowl I had from Maxwell Hawker Center in SG, this satisfied my craving.
First of all, so many new followers over the last week, that’s a bit scary, but welcome to my cooking adventures! 😅 My tastebuds like Japanese, Indian and East Asian cuisine and after falling in love with food at a Bangladeshi friend’s house I simply started cooking from recipes at some point and this opened up a new world for me. I hope I can inspire at least a few of you to try out either some of the recipes I keep trying myself, or to simply sample something completely new should you stumble across something that you have never tasted before in your supermarkets or even better on a market. I usually attempt to find a suitable recipe online. I’m also not afraid to substitute hard to get ingredients with local ones, reading up on what might be a good match. You have to work with what you can get or find in your fridge. 😄 I think most of my cooking is fusion food, where you combine products and ideas from different food cultures to make them your own.
The meal in the photo was a typical “what you find in the fridge” affair. There were many fresh vegetables that needed to go: okra, pak choi, napa and red cabbage, carrots, spring onion, half a jar of shiitake mushrooms, and also some soy mince based niku soboro (seasoned minced meat to eat with ramen or whatever you fancy). With this my son and I prepared the meal:
🥢 okra with ginger/soy sauce
🥢 Asian coleslaw with a sesame dressing
🥢 freestyle mixed fried vegetables with gochujang
🥢 niku soboro
🥢 Japanese rice
🥢 chopped peanuts and pine nuts were added as well
Harvested some of our Chinese chives & bean sprouts. Fried them up with lots of garlic & sprinkles of salt n pepper. It is simple, tasty & healthy. Cooks up in less than 5 minutes.
Tonight, I made the family Chinese cabbage soup, with lean chicken, fish balls, lobster balls & green onions. We eat with steamed basmati rice. Basmati is better for Mom than other rices due to lower GI score - she can only have rice in small amounts now. I'm trying to get her Type 2 diabetes management under control & customized diet helps Mom a lot.
Hey #foodies, I'm rehydrating some red #adzuki beans to make something with sweet red bean paste in them, but realized I don't have anything specific in mind yet
What's your favourite item/dish/treat featuring #redBeanPaste ?
Made myself some fried #asparagus & #Teochew style soy garlic fried #porkChops (cut after cooking). Eating them with steamed jasmine #rice. Today's #lunch in a bowl.
#DiabeticFriendly#salad for me, Mom & my youngest brother. It has red & green cabbages, spinach, 2 kinds of lettuces, cucumbers, Thai mint & lean boiled chicken. We pour nuoc cham sauce over & add chili sauce to individual taste.
So happy to have finally succeeded in recreating the crispy winged gyoza in Netflix's Izakaya Bottakuri! Huzzah!
Attempted this before twice using potstickers I prepared--and failed at both times (I blame the old pan). I used store-bought gyoza this time to lessen the disappointment in case I fail.
Love & Thai restaurant in #Fresno, #California is open in a different location.
A baseless accusation grounded in a #racist#stereotype about #AsianFood using dog meat brought a 6 month barrage of #harassment so heated Rasavong, 41, closed down its previous location over fears for family safety.
