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.

Italian Wedding Risotto

This recipe is a delicious take on Italian wedding soup. Creamy parmesan risotto topped with garlicky pork meatballs and greens. We really enjoyed this dish and it was easy to make.

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.
