Crispy Korean BBQ Chicken Wings I had a whole list of yummy things to make in the holidays, but I was obviously living my best life and didn’t get to this one. I have an old recipe from 2017 of Korean BBQ chicken wings here but have been meaning to re-do it once I had […]

One of the many reasons I love Asian food is how ingredients are treated with utmost respect. Most of the flavour comes from the ingredients themselves and they haven’t been “messed” with too much. It’s almost like the least cooking of the raw ingredients the better! This makes for absolutely easy cooking. There might be
I am obsessed with this salad! Warmer days mean eating salad 24/7. I prefer making salad to cooking veggies, not sure if it’s a texture thing but I love love love a fresh, crunchy salad. This is as fresh and crunchy as they come. What’s even cooler about this salad is the myriad of ways

It was so hot in Cape Town that I didn’t feel like eating food or meat. I wanted something light that was still tasty and had all those umami flavors. This is Vietnamese inspired, as I wanted to make a more traditional dressing but did not have fish sauce. You can add whatever veggies you

I made these noodles two weeks ago. To be honest, I didn’t know what it was going to be when I started cooking. We had gone out and got home quite late and I ended up cooking in a rush which resulted in me taking some sauces and things out of the fridge and throwing
Asian food is one of my favorite cuisines (besides Italian and Indian). The simple combination of sesame oil, soya sauce, rice vinegar and chili hits all the right spots.
