KITCHEN — Steph Sia

CHICKEN ADOBO

It’s been possibly a decade since I have made chicken adobo. 10 years is a long time. It’s a mashup between my mother’s, my friend Michelle’s and my own version of this classic Filipino dish. So much better than the original!

BEEF AND VEGETABLE STIR FRY

Stir fries are such an easy meal to make. I used to make them a lot when I was younger when I first started cooking at the age of 10. It’s also something that I believe people new to cooking tend to cook. Hey, it’s easy! And since I’ve been trying to teach my boyfriend how to cook. It’s so crazy how I am this huge food nerd and I have a Burger King-loving boyfriend who hasn't ever cooked a day in his life! I thought I’d start off nice and easy with a beef and vegetable stir fry.

GINATAAN KALABASA AT SITAW

Woot, another Filipino dish I can cross off the list! Who knew how easy Filipino dishes are to make from scratch? I made ginataan kalabasa at sitaw - a butternut squash and long bean stew cooked in coconut milk and shrimp paste.

HIYASHI CHUKA UDON

My fave…but with udon noodles! If you haven’t had hiyashi chuka udon, what are you even waiting for?

SOM TAM

One of my favourite salads to make in the summertime: som tam! Crunchy, salty, spicy, sweet, sour, umami - all of those things are absolutely present in this dish. It’s a total crowd pleaser and it’s guaranteed there won’t be any leftovers surviving after trying this.

BEEF CALDERETA

I’m still in disbelief that I made beef caldereta! My dad used to always make this dish for me as a kid it was definitely #1 for Filipino dishes. It’s rich, it’s savoury, it’s totally comforting…it’s my own version. So excited to share this with you all!

CHAMCHI SOONDOOBOO JJIGAE

A Korean one-pot meal that’ll make you wish you had doubled the recipe. One of my favourite Korean dishes ever, chamchi soondooboo jjigae throws all the great things in a hot spicy stew to make some serious comfort food, complete with steamed white rice. Yasssssss.

SAN BEI JI

Yay, I made san bei ji - Taiwanese three cup chicken! It was just as easy as I had expected and even more flavourful than I had anticipated. Make a lot of sauce and rice with this one - you won’t be sorry!
