So, I prepared this dish specially for Hari Raya even though I am not celebrate it but it kind of reminds me of home…more

 

Wonton shrimp blossoms


From: Once upon a plate

I first tasted these treats at a bridal shower several years ago ~ they were so
good and so popular, I knew I had to get the recipe. I scribbled it
down on the back of an envelope, and have been making them at least
once a year ever since…more

 

Sweet and Sour Fish


From: Blog Chef

Are you getting tired of the same old sweet and sour chicken or pork?
If so you might want to give this recipe for sweet and sour fish a try.
Sweet and sour fish is breaded fish in a delicious sweet and sour sauce
with an assortment of fruits and vegetables. You can basically use any
kind of white fish for this recipe such as tilapia, halibut, bass, cod,
ect. It is always good to try and find nice meaty fillets if possible.
I would recommend frying the fish in a deep fryer because in my opinion
they just come out better than pan frying. However, if you do not have
a deep fryer, feel free to give it a try in the wok. The fruits and
vegetables going into this dish include pineapple, tomatoes, green
peppers and onions. If you are in a rush and would prefer to use store
bought sweet and sour sauce that would work as well. Serve on top of
white rice…more

Vegetarian Gyoza (potstickers)

I started with my recipe for making regular gyoza, subbed in quinoa for the pork, added shitake mushrooms for a boost in flavor and an egg to help bind everything together. If you’re horribly opposed to a meatless dumpling you could always turn this back into a less animal friendly recipe, but I really do urge you to give this a try. Aside from the fact that Quinoa is cheaper, healthier, and greener, I actually like these better than their meat containing counterparts…more

 

Black Pepper Chicken

The Chinese restaurant buffet here that we frequent served a very delicious black pepper chicken. We just discovered it recently and both my hubby and I loved it very much. It was on the sweet side and the marinade and flavor just perfect. Since I was trying to think of something different to cook with the chicken breast that I took out, I remembered this dish. Also remembered that I had some black pepper premix in my fridge, which resulted in my version of black pepper chicken. Got to say theirs still tasted better, but this was not far behind. :P The sauce was very good with rice..more

 

Green Curry Shrimp with Noodles

This recipe pairs the green curry with shrimp and delicate rice noodles, and with a tang of cilantro is a simple recipe with a complex taste. This recipe is also much lighter than the red curry we make (though that probably has to do with the lower-fat coconut milk and the addition of chicken broth)….more

 

Vietnamese-Style Spring Rolls with Shrimp

These are a staple for us. Granted, they are a bit time consuming and the spring-roll sheets are tricky to work with (Taylor handles them like a master!), but it’s a healthy, refreshing dish perfect as an appetizer or as a stand alone meal. We like to serve them with rice noodles or other asian noodles…more
