I recently shared my Air Fryer Char Siu Recipe and received much feedback on the ease of cooking BBQ roast pork without the oven. Since Lunar New Year is quickly approaching (you have 3 weeks to plan!), I figured I would share another easy air fryer roast meat recipe. This is an extremely popular ...

If I was asked to name a few of my favorite Asian desserts, I'd provide you with this list: Coconut JellyGinger Milk Custardand Taro Tapioca (or Sago)!!! I've provided my recipes for the first 2, so I figured I would check the last one off so that you can experience the creamy goodness ...
Chinese Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry Recipe (西芥蓝牛肉)
Fried rice, chicken wings, French fries and egg rolls are NOT the only items you can order off of a menu at a Chinese takeout joint! Food from these establishments once had a bad rap for potential MSG, high sodium content and/or being too caloric. However, I must add my two cents: as with all ...
Chinese Herbal Soup with Silkie Chicken & American Ginseng (or Dong Quai)
If you grew up in a Chinese household like I did, you're probably very familiar with herbal soups and medicinal teas whose aromas are so powerful that they can fill up an entire home AND linger for some time. Oddly, I've always enjoyed herbal soups and teas, and quite enjoy the bitterness 😬. Not to ...

Chinese Steamed Fish Recipe (蒸鱼)
If you were raised in a Chinese household, you've had steamed whole fish! I've had countless steamed fish growing up, as my parents (who are both AH-MAZING home cooks), would often add it into the spread of dishes that they cook for dinner. It's also quite simple to make and a dish that likely ...
Spam and Egg Macaroni Soup Recipe (午餐肉通粉)
I don't eat Spam very often, but when I do, it brings me back to Hawaii, where they are known for Spam musubi!! I was about 5 months pregnant when Steve and I were there, which was a bummer because I couldn't indulge in any sashimi or poke bowls. I even did a bit of self-controlling with Spam, since ...
Eggplants & Minced Pork w/ Garlic Sauce Recipe
I love throwing in some ground meat to add a bit of savoriness to a dish, neither do I mind the extra protein and fuller tummies in my household 🥰. If you've seen or tried my Soft Tofu with Ground Pork Recipe, you know exactly what I mean! When I stumbled on this amazing recipe from Omnivore's ...
Coconut Jelly Recipe (椰汁糕)
If you haven't noticed, one of the few things I've missed the most as a result of this quarantine is dim sum. I've tested recipes for Siu Mai, Ha Gow, Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce and Egg Tarts. I'm not going to end this marathon without making my childhood favorite: Coconut Jelly! As kids, my ...

This is a very light, yet saucy dish to atop your ...
Flank Steak with Onions & Peppers Stir-fry Recipe
I recently purchased a bag of bell peppers from Costco just for the hell of it. You guessed it, it's the large pack of 6, constituting 2 yellow, 2 orange and 2 red peppers. I don't even cook with them very often, but figured seeing the colors each time I open my fridge would inspire me to concoct ...
