Recipes & Cooking : Asian Recipes
Greetings from Thailand! I am currently on an extended vacation and you can follow my adventure by following me on Instagram (lots of amazing photos!) Before I leave for the vacation, I have lined up a lot of new recipes and posts so Rasa Malaysia will be updated on a regular basis. I have also arranged for a few guest posts…
I cook and eat vegetables very often; veggie is a must-have item for a balanced Chinese meal. However, I seldom post vegetable dishes on Rasa Malaysia, and occasionally readers asked if I could share some vegetable recipes. The truth is—despite the fact that vegetables is a staple in my family—there aren’t that many variations, especially when it comes to Chinese cooking….
I’m so thrilled to be working with Anolon as one of the featured food bloggers for the “Anolon Cook and Tell” campaign on Facebook. I have long been a fan of Anolon gourmet cookware. I remember browsing through the website of Anolon and thinking to myself: “I really wish I could cook with all the gorgeous Anolon cookware set in…
There are very few cookbooks that I eagerly await; one of them is Naomi Duguid’s Burma: Rivers of Flavor. It’s always so refreshing to read a cookbook about a lesser-known country and its cuisine, and the award-winning Naomi Duguid did a smashing job with the new cookbook. The food photography by Richard Jung—whom photography I absolutely adore—is simply gorgeous and…
Southeast Asia mesmerizes me—the diverse culture, places, people, and food—it is my favorite region in the whole world. Born and raised in Malaysia and its proximity to the neighboring Southeast Asian countries make me appreciate the diversity and rich heritage of this land even more. I have traveled quite a bit in the region but one of the countries that…
I have never been to Laos but I have a Laotian friend when I lived in the Bay Area. I remember one of the potluck parties at the office, she prepared a delicious grilled chicken that got me hooked. The chicken was marinated with lemongrass and the fish-sauce dipping sauce was so delicious I got a second helping of the…
It’s Labor Day weekend this week and I am sure many of you are throwing one last summer party before Fall arrives and the weather becomes colder. I have shared many summer recipes with you this year and I hope you have had a chance to try them out. I have two more recipes that will complete this summer. Let’s…
It’s been scorching hot lately, I’m not sure if it’s global warming, but seriously, I think this is probably the hottest summer ever in Southern California. Anyway, last month, I made the Spicy Basil Beef Salad from the Cooking Light magazine and there is another recipe that I earmarked: Sauté Pork with Tomatoes. I hardly ever make pork chops at…
One of my favorite things to do is reading food and travel magazines. I usually go crazy when it’s summer as the newsstands are filled with all sorts of summer-themed magazines. Each with a mouthwatering cover and big bold text that pretty much screams “buy me and eat me.” Other than my regular magazine subscriptions, I usually succumb to these…
How’s your summer so far? I hope everyone has been busy firing out your grill, having endless pool parties, and more importantly, having a blast with your friends and family. If you’re looking for new barbeque recipes and ideas, I wish to tempt you with my upcoming Asian-style BBQ recipes. Let’s start with this mouthwatering lemongrass grilled shrimp, spiced with…
