Earlier this year when I visited Japan, I got to take a cooking class and learned some easy recipes as part of the kaiseki (or multi-course) meal we created.
I finally got around to using some of the skills I learned and ingredients I bought in Japan when I made two sides dishes — an […]

I’d seen this recipe in the Martha Stewart magazine a few years ago and pinned it to my Pinterest account. But like most things I pin, I never got around to trying it.
So with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought these pretty pink-lemonade thumbprint cookies would be perfect for […]

This is probably not the first time you’ve seen a whole roasted cauliflower dish. I’d say restaurants have been doing it for the last five years.
Lately I’ve been seeing a second wave of interest in whole roasted cauliflower, this time from a lot of home cooks on Instagram. I’m a big fan of cauliflower, […]

So I’m not going to claim that the idea of matcha tiramisu is terribly original, but I will say that this is a dish that I just guessed in my head about proportions and for making it the first time, it was a complete success!
I’ve toyed with the idea of making matcha tiramisu for […]

You’re not a good Chinese boy unless you’ve grown up folding a few wontons, the shrimp and pork dumplings often tossed into soups, or how I like to eat it with thin noodles and soup.
Our Mom always made me and my siblings fold wontons, which we’d then have for lunch. We did the basic […]

Tsukune is a popular yakitori dish in Japan, eaten often during happy hour with a cold beer. There are different traditional ways of serving it, notably with a raw […]

It all started with purple cauliflower I saw at the farmers’ market.
I’ve cooked with them before, but I knew from experience that heat causes the cauliflower to lose their brilliant purple color. So I decided to pickle them. It was my first time making pickled purple cauliflower (say that 10 times fast), but they […]

I recently started roasting potatoes in my skillet and found that 1) it’s a nice, easy clean-up instead of a roasting pan and 2) the potatoes get a more crispy edge frying on the skillet in the oven.
Then that reminded me that this is probably also the first step in making a good hash, […]

Some nights when I’m looking for a quick dinner, I often go with the typical standbys like pan-roasted salmon or any kind of stir-fry.
But recently I remembered I had a bag of lap cheong (Chinese sausage) in the freezer, and that made me crave one of the first dishes my Mom taught me to […]

With rainy days, I’m typically at home cozying up to my blanket on my sofa watching Chef’s Table on Netflix. And just for added ambiance, it’s always nice to be braising meat in the oven for that enticing aroma.
For that, beef cheeks are one of my favorite go-to cuts when I can find them […]

A few months ago for my birthday my brother got me a 10-inch Staub cast iron skillet, which looks so sleek with its dark cast iron interior and French red enamel exterior.
But I actually never got around to using it until this weekend, when I decided to make a frittata inspired by a delicious […]

I recently did something I haven’t done in years — deep fried chicken!
Regular followers of this blog know I have an aversion to deep fried foods, and generally avoid making them and even ordering them at restaurants. But last weekend I was going to a potluck with my food blogging crew — Sandy of Foodhoe’s Foraging, […]

This upcoming weekend is the July Fourth holiday and as the original “Brexits,” why not celebrate with … salmon!
I know, not the most likely of proteins for an independence day table, but I love salmon so much I find any opportunity to grill it. In fact, I made this exact same recipe during the […]

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve done a cooking video, so when I realized I still had a package of pickled mustard greens in the refrigerator, I decided to whip up one of my favorite Northern Chinese-style dishes and filmed it for you all!
You’ll see this pork with pickled mustard greens noodle […]
