This simple Miso Pork & Green Bean Stir Fry was on the table in literally minutes and was so darn delicious. As with all Stir Fry, have all your ingredients ready to go (I like to imagine I am doing a cooking show) so that you can quickly throw everything in the...
If Korean Fried Chicken is on the menu in a restaurant, I find it very difficult to ignore. It is the same story with the rest of the family, so usually we will order a serve of those delightfully crunchy, sticky, spicy, tasty little morsels to share before we hit...
This is my new favourite ‘Fakeaway’! I absolutely love a Chicken, Wonton & Noodle Soup when I visit our local shopping mall as it never feels like fast food. I think I like this version even better as I know exactly what is in it and it did feel a...
I recently saw a version of this delectable Peking Chicken dish on Instagram and new instantly that I had to cook it. What I love about this dish is that being chicken, it is way more accessible to the average Joe than the traditional Peking Duck. Duck is harder to...
I received a couple of Jars of Organic Miso Paste from my friends at Umami Pantry. The Miso, among other products are all Australian made, certified organic and vegan. They asked me to cook with their Miso products and truth be told, I haven’t had loads of...
One of the fast foods I love and crave the most is a good Asian style noodle soup. We have a local place at two locations within a 10km radius and if I am hungover, cold, hot, happy, sad or all these combined, I make a beeline and order either the Chinese BBQ Duck...
With the onset of Spring it is time to eat a little lighter. This simple Steamed Salmon with Ginger & Shiitake Mushrooms certainly hit the brief. Low fat, full of flavour and deliciously fragrant, it was a breeze to make, even the most basic of cooks could knock...
I call this my ‘Quick’ Chicken Laksa as it is a cheats version of what I would normally make, as I try as often as possible to make my own paste. In reality, sometimes I just don’t have the time, or the ingredients to make my own and I always keep a...
I am a firm believer that adapting a recipe from its traditional version is what cooking is all about. It is how food evolves and improves and while there is nothing quite like the original, a new take is always a welcome change. Change is good. My version of Pork Mee...
This one was a bit of an experiment and holy moly, I sure was pleased with the result. I used a poaching technique that I found on the website of Australia’s most successful food blogger, Nagi from Recipe Tin Eats (jealous much). I didn’t use her recipe...
*Revised Recipe* This Sesame Salmon recipe has been on my website since day dot and I am kicking myself for not cooking it more often. For some reason we have this notion that to put a crust on something or stuff something is a difficult process, when in fact it...
So I recently cooked a Japanese pork belly and udon noodle broth (recipe will be coming soon) that I really wanted to use pickled Daikon (Japanese radish) in, to add a little sharp freshness. The problem was, the only Daikon I could find was absolutely monstrous and I...
