Asian chicken salad is one of my favorite salad meals. This recipe was based on one I saw on Ambitious Kitchen. My favorite recipe uses peanut dressing, but I loved the sound of the sesame ginger dressing for this one and had to try it. As usual, I made a few modifications to my ownContinue reading “Crunchy Sesame Chicken Salad”

Suan La Fen (Hot and Sour Noodle Soup)
We love pretty much all Asian food, especially soups, and this Chinese hot and sour noodle soup doesn’t disappoint. There so so many flavor components to this dish, and they come together beautifully. I wish I had another bowl right now. 🙂 Traditionally, this soup is made by placing all the ingredients and seasonings intoContinue reading “Suan La Fen (Hot and Sour Noodle Soup)”
Miso Ginger Salmon Bowls
I absolutely love miso. It has an incredible amount of salty, savory umami flavor. Miso and salmon go perfectly together and it is one of my favorite ways to eat fish.

Onigirazu is a variation on Japanese Onigiri (rice balls), that is more of a rice/seaweed sandwich with different fillings. These are less traditional and can be filled with lot of different things.

Chinese Roast Pork with Vegetables
This recipe comes from the wonderful Woks of Life. I pretty much love any recipe from that site.

Lemon chicken is a Chinese takeout favorite, and this recipe is basically my friend’s amazing sweet and sour chicken, but with lemon sauce instead of sweet and sour sauce. In this recipe the chicken is fried in a crispy breading made from cornstarch, but you could also used pan seared chicken breast instead if youContinue reading “Lemon Chicken”
