Today, I made fried stuffed tofu and chicken fritters. The stuffing is the exact same mixture I use to make the chicken fritters, so whatever you have left after filling the tofu, just fry it up (in fact, I typically double the filling so I can make more chicken fritters!). Yum! 😁 2 (19 oz) […]
Main Dishes
Homemade Char Siu and Kolo Mee
For dinner yesterday, I made a simplified version of char siu (Chinese barbecued pork) and kolo mee, a simple dish of noodles tossed in a mixture of light, flavorful seasonings. Too delicious to stop eating! Enjoy! Make the barbecued pork: 1/2 cup light soy sauce 1/2 cup honey 2 tablespoons cream sherry Approx 2 to […]
Kway Chap (Flat Rice Noodles with Pork Stew)
This is another popular street food in South East Asia – something I would not have considered making at home if I live there. Traditionally, the stew consists of pork and various pig organs but for simplicity and convenience, pork tenderloin or other pork cuts would suffice and be as delicious! Enjoy! {Adapted from Spice […]
Chicken Egg Rolls
The deep-frying saga continues today, lol. Another thing I craved recently is fried spring rolls. I ended up making egg rolls instead since I didn’t feel like going to the Asian store to buy spring roll wraps. I have to say I am pretty impressed with the Nasoya egg roll wraps – everything you need […]
Fried Chicken Wings
Made some fried chicken wings yesterday using the seasoning mix my sis sent me a while back. Soooooooo good! ❤️
Tuna Salad
I actually put this together late last night before I went to bed, anticipating that we would want something easy-peasy for lunch today and I’m all out of leftovers, lol. Delicious! 2 (7 ounce) cans tuna (I use Chicken of the Sea Tuna Chunk Light) 3/4 cup mayo 2 tablespoons sweet relish 1 stalk celery, […]
Fried Radish Cake and Porridge
I had fried radish cake (made this a while back and froze it and promptly forgot I have it until a couple of days ago, lol) and simple porridge with stir-fried green beans and roasted peanuts for breakfast. Comfort food indeed! ❤️ Radish cake recipe is from MyKitchen101en.com. Porridge is simply made from rice (I […]
Shrimp and Avocado Sushi Bowls
We enjoyed homemade shrimp and avocado sushi bowls this evening – all the deliciousness without the hassle of making actual sushi rolls. 😁 Make the rice: 2 cups short-grain rice (I use Kokuho Rose Rice) 2 cups water 1/2 cup sushi vinegar (I use Nishiki Sushi Vinegar) Rinse rice with water until water runs almost […]
Chicken Pot Pie
Despite it being such a hot day, I had a hankering for chicken pot pie (with a cheesy crust by the way) this evening, lol. Again, I decided to bake the pot pies on the grill….. no way was I going to turn on the oven inside the house. We sweated while we ate, hahaha […]
Macaroni Salad and Fried Chicken
I am so in the mood for warmer weather, not that I ever need an excuse to eat fried chicken. 😉 Dig in! Recipe for the macaroni salad can be found in the Macaroni Salad and Grilled Soy Sauce Pork post while the extremely simple fried chicken marinade is listed below: Approximately 2 pounds chicken […]
