Growing up, hot and sour was my favourite soup. My mom used to buy these hot and sour soup mixes and I would boil them in hot water and add a beaten egg. This soup has all the flavours I love, the slightly spicy and satisfying sour taste. Also I LOVE the vegetables in the soup. It certainly helps me to get some vegetables in…
Update: I actually made some changes to the recipe. Originally I used tapioca starch for the Korean Mochi Bread but I found Cassava flour which worked so much better. If you haven’t already guessed it, I love desserts that are bit chewy and slightly sweet. This sesame Mochi bread is definitely up my alley. I’ve seen these been sold in Korean supermarkets. They are usually…
I’m a Korean drama fan, I used to binge watch Korean drama in my high school and university days. I also would study while watching Korean drama. Definitely don’t recommend, but I survived. I was obsessed with Korean food and I also watched a lot of Maangchi videos for Korean food. I loved cooking korean food when I lived alone because I can make single…
A quick lunch/dinner for those lazy or busy days. This spicy sesame noodles will definitely keep you going.
Braised eggplant with tomatoes is one of my favourite dish that my mom used to make. This dish has a slight tangy taste that is very addicting with rice. My mom actually taught me this recipe when I moved out and it’s one of the dishes that I now cook quite often in my kitchen. This dish is also completely vegan as well! Braised eggplant…
I’m a huge fan of Asian dessert. They are not too sweet. Ginger milk pudding is one of them. It is a classic Cantonese dessert that I love making at home. There are few Cantonese dessert restaurant here in Greater Toronto area and this dessert is always featured on the menu. At restaurants, they charge about 4-5 dollars for this dessert! However, this dessert only…
I spent a part of my childhood in Beijing and my mom is from Beijing. One of the dishes my mom made was fried bean sauce noodles with this fried bean sauce. If you had Jajangmyeon from a Korean Chinese restaurant, it has origin to original Zha Jiang Mian. However over the years the recipe had changed and now they are completely different. The Chinese…
Recently I’ve discovered a new drink. It was at a Vietnamese restaurant and they had a drink called Salty Lemonades. I ordered it and it was delicious. Lemonades are a quintessential summer drink. I was never a big fan of it until I tried a salty lemonade at a Vietnamese restaurant. I know it’s pretty weird but bare with me, this drinks grows on you….
Today I’m making a easier version of the classic Gamjatang using my instant pot. When I was in high school, I used to take music and band lessons in Richmond Hill. My parents would always go to a T&T supermarket and they had a stall that would sell Korean Pork Bone potato stew (gamjatang). It was the highlight of my week. When cooked on stove…
Pumpkin pancake is one of my favourite dessert. It can be easily made and stored to be eaten at a later time. While pumpkin is more available in the Autumn, if you are able to buy in year round, you can make this anytime. It has natural sweetness so you don’t need to add a lot of sugar to it. It’s also a great snack…
