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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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. …

A few weeks ago, I learned that most of the world is pronouncing Ikea the wrong way. We met a Swedish woman who told us that Ikea is pronounced “Ee-kay-ya” in Sweden, not “I-keeya”. Random fact of the day! Speaking of Ikea, we used to drive forty minutes to the other side of the city …

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 …

Stew: (verb, transitive) To cook by simmering or boiling slowly The word conjures up images of a warm, homey kitchen and steaming bowls of hot soupy goodness. Stew (in all its hearty forms) is the perfect meal for a loud, laughing family or a quiet night curled up in front of the television. I’m guessing that almost every …

Sometimes, inspiration comes from strange places. The inspiration for this recipe came from a strange (and mildly embarrassing) place indeed – a Japanese cartoon (specifically, Skip Beat!, episode 15). Okay, okay…it may not sound cool for an adult in their early thirties to watch anime, but it did result in a wonderful recipe that has …

What do you do with the left over ingredients from other recipes? Like the 5 egg yolks sitting in a cup after you’ve made meringues or the two sad stalks of green onion sitting in the vegetable tray? What about the few pieces of steamed broccoli that no one wanted to finish last night or …

Okonomiyaki – a mouthful of syllables, but also a mouthful of goodness. If you have the chance to eat at an okonomiyaki restaurant, go for it! It’s best to go with a few friends. We had this opportunity during our trip to Japan – and it was great fun. Basically, you get to choose a …
