Japchae (Chap Chae)

Japchae (Chap Chae)

Japchae (also spelled as chap chae) is the first Korean dish I tried. Believe it or not, before I came to the United States, I had never had Korean food. Growing up in Malaysia with all its glorious local cuisines and family’s home cooking, I seldom tried other cuisines…plus there weren’t many international restaurants back then. I first had Japchae…

Gyoza Recipe

Gyoza Recipe

Gyoza is Japanese-style dumpling. Originated from Chinese jiaozi (dumplings), gyoza has become a mainstay of Japanese cuisine, a staple that is very popular in and outside of Japan. In the United States, you can find gyoza at Japanese restaurants and Asian-themed restaurants. There are four ways of preparing gyoza: steamed, boiled, deep-fried, and pan-fried. I am especially partial to pan-fried…

Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken

I am sure you all remember Sukaina from Lick My Spoon who recently shared her naan recipe with us. Today, she is sharing yet another popular Indian recipe that we all love–butter chicken. Butter chicken is often served at Indian buffet restaurants and it’s easily my favorite Indian dish. I always ask for an extra serving of naan to sop…

Naan

Naan

I’ve been eating lots of Indian food since I got home in Penang and it dawned to me that I don’t have some of the most basic Indian recipes on Rasa Malaysia, such as naan—the much loved fluffy Indian bread. I am so glad that Lick My Spoon‘s Sukaina is willing to write a guest post on Rasa Malaysia and…

Taiwanese Scallion Oil Noodles (葱油拌面)

Taiwanese Scallion Oil Noodles (葱油拌面)

Living in Southern California, in the city of Irvine where lots of Taiwanese expatriates congregate, I’m spoiled by the many great Taiwanese restaurants and eateries. One of my favorite things to eat during the weekend is Taiwanese-style breakfast/brunch where simple fare such as soy bean milk, fried you tiao (Chinese crullers), scallion pancake, and noodles are served. Taiwanese food is…

Most people like playing with their food, and hand roll sushi, or temaki sushi is one of the fun and delicious ways to enjoy sushi. Temaki sushi basically means sushi which are hand-rolled, where you assemble the sushi filling of mostly fish or shellfish, and then rolled with nori (seaweed) sheets into hand roll sushi. Hand roll is great for…

Thai Chicken Curry with Bamboo Shoots

Thai Chicken Curry with Bamboo Shoots

On my Rasa Malaysia Facebook fan page (“like” me if you haven’t), a reader asked me how to prepare Thai-style chicken curry with bamboo shoots, like the ones commonly served at Thai restaurants here in the United States. It was a coincidence that I had some leftover bamboo shoots in the refrigerator so I made a small pot of  Thai…
