2011 Chinese New Year Dinner

February 13, 2011

Chinese New Year this year was a pretty busy one because we had a couple of gatherings with friends to celebrate. It has been really hard to celebrate here on the actual day because we do not get a holiday like in the Asian countries. Instead we celebrated on the weekends and indeed we feasted! [...]

Rice Dumpling (Bak Zhang or Jung)

June 28, 2010

Dumpling festival was 2 weeks ago and I am finally posting my photos. sigh….when will I ever get back on track. Oh well, I guess I will accept the fact that as much as I like blogging, it will always take a backseat after the family. What about you? How do you balance family and [...]

Lettuce Wrap

Somedays especially the weekends when the family wants just a light dinner, we usually end up making lettuce wrap.

For us, it is usually chicken with lots of vegetables like carrots, celery, mushroom, bell pepper and [...]

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We had the most beautiful weather on Sunday. It even got a little too hot which was a little surprising since the weather was supposed to be cloudy according to the weather forecast. It is days like this that I am glad that the forecast is wrong. Sunny days [...]

Bibimbap

November 13, 2009

Now that the weather is getting colder, I find that I have been craving for Korean food a lot especially the dolsot bibimbap (mixed rice in a stone pot) and soon-do-bu (spicy tofu soup). I guess the hot and spicy just hits the right spot on these cold winter nights. Since it is very expensive [...]

Mapo Tofu (Spicy Tofu with Pork)

July 22, 2009

I have to confess that I definitely prefer baking over cooking. Cooking is not my forte and I also cook by instinct, to the dismay of my friends. It used to and probably still drives my friends crazy when they try to get a recipe from me and all they get are “a little bit [...]

Kalbi Beef

September 8, 2008

During those pre-cooking days before I discovered that cooking is actually not too difficult and scary, we used to eat out a lot. One of our favorite haunt is the Korean restaurant. I love all the banchans while the hubby love all the meat especially Kalbi and Bulgogi. Nowadays we still eat at the Korean [...]

Claypot Chicken Rice

September 6, 2008

It’s not the prettiest looking food but definitely very delicious! Another attempt at making claypot chicken rice. A huge improvement over the previous attempt but still not quite there yet. I think it’s the missing salted fish that is causing this dish to be different from the ones that we eat outside. However ever since the day [...]

Grilled Steak

September 2, 2008

Another day on the grill. This time we have steak. I like to keep my steaks simple. So usually it’s just a sprinkle of seasoning like the McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasonings on the steak before putting it on the grill. For vegetables, I have corn and green peppers. For dessert, one of my favorite – [...]
