Home-style Tofu Recipe (Tofu with Mushrooms)

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) If you love tofu, I am sure you have your favorite tofu dish–be it Mapo Tofu, claypot tofu, steamed tofu, or fried tofu. While many people think that tofu is tasteless and plain, I love tofu very much. Tofu can be very versatile and delicious, if you know how to pair it with…

Teriyaki Chicken

(Check out the new Chicken Teriyaki Recipe) Please welcome My Cooking Hut (please check out her curry laksa post) back as she guest posts yet another droolsome dish: Japanese teriyaki chicken and shares her teriyaki chicken recipe with us. I believe I don’t have to elaborate too much what Teriyaki Chicken is. This ever so popular Japanese dish is really…

Japanese Rolled Omelet (Tamagoyaki)

Japanese Rolled Omelet (Tamagoyaki)

I have gone Japanese food crazy lately. It all started after my recent trip to Tokyo. While I always have food crushes, this time it’s more substantial. I am motivated to learn more about Japanese cuisine and to understand the basic techniques of making Japanese food, precisely Japanese home cooking. My current love affair with Japanese food has gotten me…

Ramen Noodle Salad Recipe

Ramen Noodle Salad Recipe

Truth be told, I don’t cook as much as you think I do. And, perhaps much to your disbelief, I don’t eat as good as it appears to be. Well, not every day. Like many of you who has a busy and hectic lifestyle, I eat too much unhealthy food, for example: instant noodles or ramen. My pantry is constantly…

Miso Ramen Recipe

Miso Ramen Recipe

I am not sure what it is, it could be the heat outside, but I just don’t have much of an appetite lately, especially for lunch. Lunch is tough because I am definitely not a sandwich and salad type of person (I frown at the very thought of them), but Chinese food and Malaysian food with rice, stir-fry’s, curries and…

Fried Rice Vermicelli/Rice Sticks/Rice Noodles Recipe (炒米粉)

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) As a Chinese, I’ve never had to think hard when it comes to buying noodles at the market. Noodles are a staple in Chinese cuisine; the varieties of noodles available are just like pastas to the Italians–they come in different sizes, shapes, colors, texture, and forms. There are rice vermicelli, yellow noodles, green…

Ginger and Black Fungus Chicken Recipe (姜丝云耳鸡)

Ginger and Black Fungus Chicken Recipe (姜丝云耳鸡)

Ginger and black fungus chicken is a plain and humble dish that anyone can whip up in their kitchen, and most importantly, it’s delicious and goes well with steamed rice. This ginger chicken dish is inspired by a recipe from “Thai Cooking Made Easy,” a must-have Thai cookbook in my opinion. I have no doubt that the recipe is originally…

Fruit Salad Recipe (with Baby Shrimps and Toasted Coconut)

Fruit Salad Recipe (with Baby Shrimps and Toasted Coconut)

I am back to the normal posting cycle and most importantly, the comfort of my home. Let’s just say that I am just very happy to be home, so much so that I was practically lying there on my bed and couch for the whole weekend–doing nothing and consuming only Indomie instant noodles but still feeling utterly happy. Happiness lies…

Spinach and Tofu Salad with Japanese Sesame Miso Dressing

Spinach and Tofu Salad with Japanese Sesame Miso Dressing

My cheekbones have gone missing. I have been looking for them in the mirror–during day time under natural sun light; indoor under soft tungsten light; in the office with bright fluorescent light–but they are nowhere to be found. They have indeed gone missing. What I see in the mirror–and most evidently from my travel pictures–are fats, or fat cells, as…
