Spam. Not the spam you get in your email inbox every day, but the “spiced ham” or canned pre-cooked meat that is very popular here in the United States and around the world. Everyone knows that Spam is not healthy food; we feel sorry for our health as we consume it, but let’s just confess that many of us actually…
(Note: Tofu is spelled as “Tahu” – the Indonesian spelling instead of “Tauhu” in the cookbook.) My friend Andrea Nguyen at Viet World Kitchen has recently released a new cookbook “Asian Tofu: Discover the Best, Make Your Own, and Cook It At Home.” It’s one of the cookbooks that I really look forward to because I love tofu and tofu-related…
Traditionally, Lo Mein is a popular noodle style in Hong Kong where noodles are boiled, drained and then stirred in with clear broth or on the side or with a house special soy sauce. The ‘stirred noodles’ are served with vegetables, wontons, and meats such as BBQ pork, Cantonese beef stew, etc. However, the popular chinese take-out Lo Mein here…
Many years ago, I visited Cambodia and fell in love with the country, its people, architecture (think Angkor Wat!), the exotic and absolutely delicious cuisine. I am so glad that my Malaysian friend Leemei Tan at My Cooking Hut has recently released a cookbook “Lemongrass and Ginger” and there is a Phnom Penh Noodle Soup recipe in the book. (Phnom…
Indian cuisine is renowned far and wide for its rich flavors and generous use of bold spices. However there is one particular Indian dish that has gained prominence not just for its bold flavors but for its cooking method as well. And that is none other than the world-famous Tandoori Chicken. The name Tandoori Chicken is derived from the “Tandoor”,…

Even the Chinese term for salad (沙拉 pronounced sha la) is derived from the pronunciation of the English word. So what is it that makes the Chinese Chicken Salad Chinese? The ingredients, of course!…
March, which also happens to be National Noodle Month is drawing to a close and I have just the noodle dish to end the celebration with a bang – Cold Sesame Noodles. This noodle dish of Sichuan origin is perfect for springtime and summertime, especially when it starts to get hot working in the kitchen. It is also a refreshing…
As I have mentioned in my Beef Panang post, I have saved a couple of juicy pieces of top sirloin sponsored by my friends at TX Bar Organics for an upcoming recipe, which is this one. Top sirloin is a very versatile cut of beef that can be enjoyed as a nice juicy piece of steak, sliced up for a…
When I requested my friends at TX Bar Organics, North Cal for their most suitable cuts of organic grass fed beef to showcase my Thai beef Panang curry post, they instantly delivered several choices, all beautifully vacuumed-packed in an ice box, and distinctively labeled. After careful deliberation, I decided on chuck roast (click on the picture gallery above), which by…
The wonton has to be one of the most versatile food ever to be created. First of all, the stuffing, which is traditionally seasoned minced pork, can also be a combination of shrimp and pork, ala Cantonese style shrimp wontons.
