Chinese Broccoli Pork Rolls

My dear readers, apologies for not posting for one whole month, thank you all for tirelessly visiting the blog even when I’ve been away, I really appreciate it! Other than being busy with work, my family and I actually went on a 10 day vacation to North California, we saw many beautiful sights and ate [...]

Stir Fried Shredded Beef (From my friend Moureen)

I always admire ladies who are able to coordinate their lives even with a super busy schedule. My friend Moureen is definitely someone who can balance being a great Mom and run a successful frozen yogurt business, while still cook hot meals on a daily basis! I had lunch with her and another good friend [...]

Stuffed Fried Tofu

I remember eating pork stuffed tofu back at Taiwan, my Mama would braise them in soy sauce, though tasty, they were always a bit on the salty side. I bought some large fried tofu and decided they would work well as an ingredient for this recipe, the bean sprouts made things much lighter, which meant [...]

Korean Style Pork Chop

It’s always good when the family’s buzzing around me when I am cooking, I assume it’s because the smell draws them there! Well this is a very simple dish to prepare, just need to remember the marinate the pork chop the night before to ensure the flavor soaks through… 10-12 pieces of thinly sliced pork [...]

Orange Beef

Hubby and I took the little girl to temple last weekend for Chinese New Year, this has become a tradition of ours, to pay respect to the Gods and wish for a year of health, peace and happiness. Afterward we normally would pick out 3 oranges from the temple to take home, by ingesting them [...]

Black Pepper Pork

Happy Chinese New Year! The Year of the Rabbit started off on a real cold note, we are awaiting for some snow, though so far the weatherman hasn’t been accurate (What else is new right?). I decided to cook something hearty for tonight, the black pepper really gave this dish a kick, though my little [...]

Black Bean Ribs

Normally I use the “1, 2, 3, 4, 5” recipe to braise ribs, but since the beginning of the year I’ve been on a “let’s try something new kick”, so of course tonight it no exception. The only issue is I can’t figure out how come the original recipe called for only 10 minutes of [...]

Indonesian Style Beef

This is a guest post from my buddy Moureen, she is a wonderful cook and is very well versed in many styles of Asian cooking. I am not familiar with Indonesian/Malaysian food, though from the very limited experience I’ve had, the dishes tend to be a lot more flavorful than basic Chinese dishes (no offense [...]

Shaken Beef

I’ve watched hubby eaten Vietnamese shaken beef, but can’t seem to recall whether I’ve ordered them specifically at restaurants. Beef cooking is sort of a mystery to me, I am not big on eating bloody food, and always order my steak Medium Well (I know, what a waste of a good piece of meat!). Cooking [...]

Sweet soy sauce beef

I bought a bottle of sweet soy sauce last week, this is a very interesting product because my Mama has never used it in her cooking, I’ve never even heard of it until my buddy graciously gave me her sate recipe, and it called for sweet soy sauce. Well now I am finding all kinds [...]
