Once in a while, I like making healthy breakfasts, for example, banana pancakes with maple syrup, topped with my favorite berries. Nothing beats waking up and having a feel-good breakfast that is loaded with all the nutrition one needs for the rest of the day–protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and more. I am not a big fan of traditional pancakes; I…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) Called 生菜包 in Chinese, or “Sung Choy Bao” in Cantonese, lettuce wraps are basically minced chicken (or pork) wrapped up in fresh iceberg lettuce leaves served with hoisin dipping sauce. Lettuce wraps are tasty and very refreshing and come complete with a crunchy texture of the cold iceberg lettuce leaf. They are healthy…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) This past weekend, my neighborhood Albertson was having an egg sale for only 99 cents a carton. When I saw the ad, I immediately thought of Chinese tea eggs. My uncle recently gave me a block of aged Chinese pu-erh tea (普洱茶) and it’s perfect for tea leaf eggs (茶叶蛋). I am a…
Vietnamese cuisine is gaining popularity in the United States and the world, so today, I invited Todd and Diane of White on Rice Couple to share a delicious Vietnamese recipe with us: Goi Cuon Thit Heo Nuong (generally known as “Goi Cuon”) or Vietnamese fresh spring rolls with a killer hoisin peanut dipping sauce (my personal favorite!). Please welcome White…
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…
I’d never tried Vietnamese food before I came to the United States. There was no Vietnamese restaurant in my hometown and Vietnamese cuisine had never crossed my mind. Then, Thai food was the only exotic food I knew. I first tasted Vietnamese food when I was attending graduate school in the Midwest. Stuck in the middle-of-no-where AKA Fargoland, Vietnamese food…
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…
I love Nobu’s black cod with miso, but it’s not easy to find fresh black cod in the market, at least not in my neighborhood. So I used Chilean sea bass instead. I love Chilean sea bass–the flesh is always so moist, tender, silky, and sweet. I also love the texture and the mouth feel of Chilean sea bass…it’s absolutely…
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…
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…
