The first time I had this dish (in a dingy, basement restaurant) in Edmonton, I wasn’t quite sure how to eat it. I didn’t know then that the best way to enjoy the big bowl of noodles was to pour the dressing over the noodles, dig into the bowl with chopsticks and toss the vegetables …

Lemongrass Pork
When I think of Montreal (Canada), I think of family, French and…amazing Vietnamese food. I have very fond memories of eating in tiny family-run Vietnamese restaurants that serve nothing but pho - a tantalizingly aromatic soup seasoned with star anise and caramelized onion and filled with rice noodles, mint, basil and a tasty assortment of beef …

Monggo Stew with Crispy Pork
So…hello again! Here is my first post in AGES – and it’s for a recipe that may not look very pretty! But monggo (or mung bean stew) is a classic Filipino dish that is one of my favourite comfort foods. When made well, it’s thick and creamy with hints of smoky flavour from smoked pork, …

Spinach with Peanut Dressing
Yes, it’s been a while. The Christmas holidays were a whirlwind affair of parties and trips – not that I’m complaining. But now that it’s all over and done with, my clothes seem suspiciously tight. So in honour of all those attempting New Year diet adjustments, here is my first recipe of the year: spinach …

Filipino BBQ Chicken Recipe
This is my go-to recipe when I need to make a tasty meal but don’t have a lot of time to peel, chop, and fry in stages. It’s usually a dish I make on Saturdays when our house is full of friends and fun – and I don’t want to disappear into the kitchen for …

Tocino: Filipino Breakfast Pork Recipe
This is a favourite of our many house guests: tocino, Filipino-style bacon. Filipino breakfasts are amazing. There are few meals I love more than a good plate of garlic fried rice, fried eggs and sweet buns (pandesal) with one or more of the following Filipino breakfast meats: Filipino sausage (longanisa), Filipino bacon (tocino), Filipino breakfast …

Easy Pad Thai Recipe
Pad Thai is amazing. It’s delicious. Sweet, salty and sour all at once, it’s been a longstanding favourite of ours. We tend to be quite picky as well; we prefer the home-cooked variety of Pad Thai that is only found in independent, small family-run restaurants (rather than chic but westernized versions in larger, slickly decorated …

Pearl Balls: Delicious Steamed Dumplings
Pork with rice – staples of our Asian diet. And this delightful little dumpling is a microcosm of that diet – marinated minced pork rolled in rice and steamed until perfect! I started using this recipe back in 2003, when I wanted to make full use of the large bamboo steamers we bought in Chinatown. …

General Tao Chicken Recipe
This is the recipe that everyone always asks me for. It’s also the one recurring dish that finds its way into most of our buffet dinner parties – and it’s always the first to disappear as well. Our guests have given the dish names of their own: sticky chicken, General Tso chicken, and “that yummy …

The Best Filipino Adobo Recipe: Chicken and Pork Stew-Fry
Dare I make such a claim? And what on earth is a “stew-fry“? Well, first of all, let me qualify my claim before any purists jump on me – this is by far the best recipe for the best chicken and pork adobo that I have ever tried. And I have tried MANY. I’ve tried simmering, slow-cooking, pressure-cooking, frying a …

5-Spice Tofu Recipe
I used to scoff at tofu. In my mind, tofu could never be more than tasteless, mushy blocks of pasty white goop. But that was before I was introduced to the large variety of Asian tofu dishes . I had taho (silken tofu in caramel sauce) for breakfast in the Philippines. Agedashi tofu (recipe by …
