TAPSILOG

Filipino breakfasts will always be my favourite. And who knew how simple they were to make? Tapsilog is no different. A nice overnight marinade, thrown onto the stove in the morning, and fried up with some sunny side up eggs. Always.

STIR-FRIED PEA SHOOTS WITH GARLIC

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!

SOURDOUGH FOCACCIA

Need to use up some leftover sourdough discard? This recipe for sourdough focaccia bread is very simple and delicious and luckily, it makes a lot! Don’t forget the balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

LOCO MOCO

Oh my god, loco moco is one of my favourite Hawaiian foods, EVER. Besides poke, it was one of the first Hawaiian dishes I had ever tried when I visited Hawaii for the first time way back in 2005! It has fond memories in my mind and I’m so happy to recreate this dish from scratch 15 years later!

ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEATBALLS

Ahhhh, who doesn’t love a classic Italian-American meatball? There’s certainly an art to it. It’s more than just meat, breadcrumbs, and Italian seasonings. Trust me. It’s two-day process.
