KITCHEN — Steph Sia

This has got to be my favourite vegetable dish at dim sum. My stir-fried pea shoots with garlic is surprisingly so easy to make that you’ll have to have dim sum at home one day!

VEGETARIAN TOM KHA

Who doesn’t love a hot and sour soup? Tom kha is probably my favourite version in all of Asia. I made a vegetarian version subbing out the chicken for tofu in this light and spicy dish! Best served rice and and lime - and a lot of it!

POQUI POQUI

In need of a new breakfast idea? Try poqui poqui. It’s a Filipino scrambled egg dish with mashed eggplant and tomato. Lots of aromatics involved here and it’s very delicious with a bowl of garlic rice! Who says you need meat at breakfast time?

PIZZA

I made a pizza! Well, 4 pizzas to be sure that the first 3 weren't flukes. And I’m not the biggest pizza fan but this was a total hit. To be honest, I was a little sad when it was finished! Pizza for 4 meals was a little ridiculous but oh-so-good.
