The ginger garlic pork noodle soup was a simple dinner I put together from stuff I had in my fridge and freezer. The components are straightforward but I used several Asian ingredients to really boost the flavor here. For the soup base I used chicken stock, to which I added some ginger, garlic, Korean beefContinue reading “Ginger Garlic Pork Noodle Soup”

Scallion Pancake Challah Bread
I was really intrigued when I saw a recipe similar to this on online. Scallion pancakes are often a staple in dim sum restaurants and they are one of my favorites. I’ve made them at home a few times too. They are layers of dough with scallion filling that are rolled out into circles andContinue reading “Scallion Pancake Challah Bread”
Thai Chicken Basil Rolls with Hoisin Dipping Sauce
These Thai basil rolls with ground chicken were pretty quick to make, but they have a lot of flavor from the Thai basil, cilantro, ginger, garlic, jalapeno and the dipping sauce. They were tasty and we all enjoyed them. I used raw/cook at home tortillas for the wraps for these and honestly I think theyContinue reading “Thai Chicken Basil Rolls with Hoisin Dipping Sauce”
Marinated Tofu Sushi Roll Bowls
This is totally my kind of a dinner and I could eat this all the time and be happy. Even though I called this a sushi bowl, there isn’t actually any raw fish. You could add some sashimi though and it would be amazing… I might do that actually next time 🙂 I love tofuContinue reading “Marinated Tofu Sushi Roll Bowls”
Marinated Tofu Bánh Mì
I’ve seen variations on a tofu bánh mì online occasionally and my family loves both bánh mì and tofu. I was still a *tiny* bit skeptical about whether this sandwich would really feel like a banh mi without the meat. I am happy to say that we really loved this, and didn’t feel anything wasContinue reading “Marinated Tofu Bánh Mì”

These are really healthy for you as mung beans have aContinue reading “Bindaetteok (Korean Mung Bean Pancakes)”
Lemongrass Green Curry Shrimp
Green curry combines the amazing flavors of shallots, garlic, ginger, cilantro, jalapeno, lemongrass, and lime and it a great compliment to many forms of seafood, especially shrimp in my opinion. This recipe uses both green curry paste as well as fresh aromatics to give a lot of flavor to the broth. Aside from shrimp, youContinue reading “Lemongrass Green Curry Shrimp”
Chinese Chicken Salad Wraps
Chinese chicken salad is one of my favorite salads. Especially the version with peanut dressing. This is a variation on that meal, where it is made into wraps. We really liked the combination of the peanut dressing and the chili mayo. These wraps had tons of flavor and lots of crisp, fresh veggies. It helpsContinue reading “Chinese Chicken Salad Wraps”
Asian Shrimp and Noodles
This dish is super simple to make, with a ton of flavor from the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil. It is meant to be served cold or room temp, so it can sit for a bit at a pot luck or on your table. You can sub in chicken for theContinue reading “Asian Shrimp and Noodles”
Grilled Thai Pork Tenderloin with Soba Noodle Salad
This grilled Thai pork tenderloin with soba noodle salad is one of my favorite meals we have had recently. I typically sous vide my pork tenderloin because it is a great method to ensure really tender, juicy pork. This grilled tenderloin was just as good though, and I will be making this often. One ofContinue reading “Grilled Thai Pork Tenderloin with Soba Noodle Salad”
