One of my favorite things about cooking Asian-inspired food is a lot of the dishes I enjoy are gluten free and dairy free. Especially when you use liquid aminos in place of soy sauce (most grocery store soy sauce contains wheat). You can serve it to your friends and family, and they’ll never realize they’re
Fall cooking season is upon us! Normally, I stand at the stovetop, carefully sautéing one skillet full of chicken and one full of fragrant onions and peppers for what feels like ever. But now? Now I’m all about slicing and dicing and sticking those yummy fajitas in an oven safe baking dish and going about
It’s probably obvious…that Chinese inspired meals are my go-to menu most nights. I just can’t seem to help myself. It’s normally pretty fast to whip up and tastes like Five-Spiced nectar of the gods. And it’s also a fantastic way to use up extra veggies in the fridge when staring at ANOTHER broccoli dish. No offense,
Curry is one of my food addictions and I don’t care who knows it. I especially love a good, spicy curry during the cooler months, when all you want is a nice bowl of something warm and filling. This version of Chicken Tikka Masala is close to the original, but is a little different because
To welcome in the start of my favorite month, I made some curry and coconut rice last night. But what good is all that rich, smooth fully-spiced tomato-based sauce if you don’t have something savory to sop it up with? Well, it’s still really freaking amazing, but there’s always room for improvement. Especially when it
It seems like wherever you look there’s always some sort of “Secret” sauce recipe floating around the interwebs. From McDonald’s to In-N-Out and every restaurant that serves up burgers and sandwiches in between, everybody’s got their own twist on a secret recipe. All that said–and I’m obviously biased–I really love my own secret sauce, and
This week has been all about yummy Asian-inspired dishes in our house, so I thought it might be nice to post one of my favorite go-to spicy sauce recipes. That way you can add it to whatever dish or appetizer you’re making this evening. Pot stickers, dumplings, chicken, beef, shrimp and rice…the list is truly
Last night I was in the mood for something quick and easy, so I scoured the fridge for something with said qualities. A few seconds later, I emerged triumphant with pre-soaked rice noodles in hand and a smile on my face. After a crazy day of writing, I’d forgotten that I’d actually planned ahead for
Szechuan-style beef lo mein may only be a thing that exists in my fantasies, but with a little creative thinking and fearless flavor combinations, anything is possible. I’ve never met a steak I didn’t like, and, not unusual for me, I was DYING for Szechuan. My food motto? The hotter and spicier, the better. Taking
Asian takeout has always been one of my family’s favorite foods–Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, etc. It all started back with my grandmother’s love for Chinese culture in particular, and the hours she used to spend learning and trying to replicate her favorite dishes. Her dim sum was TO DIE FOR, Y’ALL. I so wish
