Adventures in a Chinese- American Kitchen
Hi! I'm back in the kitchen with another recipe. This week is a true classic: Cookies. Not just any cookies.... Gochujang cookies. Yep, another installment of "getting canceled in Korea" >< What is gochujang? Gochujang is a spicy, slightly sweet Korean fermented bean past that is traditionally eaten with meat or in soups. Much to … Continue reading Gochujang Cookies
Hi! I'm back with a recipe. I've made quite a few types of fudge, but none of them are remotely appropriate for sticking to healthy eating goals. This past week, there was no analysis homework, plenty of protein powder and free milk in the fridge. What else was I supposed to do with 10 extra … Continue reading Low Sugar Protein Fudge
Hi! Remember my goal of one post a week? Not going to happen >< I planned to take this semester easy. That plan went down the drain a week in when I got the opportunity to audit…. Another maths class…..specifically, Analysis 2 Do I HAVE to go and pay attention? Nope. Am I spending 10+ … Continue reading Where I’ve been
Happy Chinese New Year Everyone! I wish everyone a productive and prosperous Year of the Rabbit. For those who do not celebrate, Keep up the good work on those 2023 goals! That's all for today. Enjoy the holiday. Bye!
Tomorrow is the first day of my last semester in Uni. So, why not end the break with something easy and indulgent. What is more easy and indulgent than fall off the bone ribs. A good family friend of ours makes amazing ribs with a brown sugar rub (翠花排骨). I could follow their recipe, or... … Continue reading Teriyaki Ribs
Another day, another recipe! I've been wanting to experiment with something more technical and with leftover wings and sausage in the fridge, why not put the two together. I present: Sausage stuffed chicken wings. These are perfect as an appetiser or paired with waffles and some syrup or crema as a lighter play on chicken … Continue reading Sausage Stuffed Chicken Wings
Happy new years! I hope everyone is off to a great start. My word this year is CS. As much as coding give me a headache, I need to stop procrastinating. On the culinary side, I’m proud to say that I am very much on trend. The NYT listed “chaos” as the number 1 food … Continue reading Kimchi Hollandaise
Sorry for the late post.... This is the last one in the series After 5 days in Maui, we had been to front street, hung out at the beach, little bro went surfing and failed to go up a volcano twice. There were plenty of good bites, but still hadn’t had a single bite of … Continue reading Maui Eats pt. 4: Nalu’s South Shore Grill
More Front Street eats! The plan was to go to Star Noodle. No seats available... Sal and Pepe? Nope. I was about to give up and head back to Paia, but little bro pointed out Down the Hatch. I initially dismissed it as a bar, but looks are deceiving. A quick search turned up a … Continue reading Maui Eats pt. 3: Down the Hatch
We spent the third day in Maui enjoying the views. Initially, I was a bit disappointed that our hotel was so far away from good food (think Mama's Fish House, Sam Sato, Nuka...). Turns out there's a goldmine only 20 minutes from the hotel on Front street There's shops, art galleries, ocean front views for … Continue reading Maui Eats pt.2: Paia Fish Market
