I had other plans for my ground pork, but my oven disagreed and died on me. Drat. The baked dumplings will have to wait for another day. The stovetop still works, though, so I went for a quick stir fry. This turned out quite well, especially for ...

I've been craving my hom bao for over a week now. I stir fried up the filling a couple nights ago, but didn't get around to making the dough, and ended up just eating some of the filling on its own. Today, I just picked up a can ...

I made my hot and sour soup for dinner tonight in an effort to fight off this cold that seems intent on settling back in for another round. I used 8 cups of chicken broth, 2 eggs, firm tofu (rather than extra firm), and a little more of the ...

A different take on orange glazed chicken - this one from Fine Cooking. This recipe has an Asian spin, and was much better than last week's attempt at orange glazed chicken. I upped the veggies as always, as well as increasing the orange zest, and served this with some ...

This is another take on Asian turkey meatballs. The additions of hoisin, soy sauce, and ginger really made them even more flavorful and delicious. I roasted about a pound of shiitake mushrooms that I'd wiped clean and stemmed right alongside the meatballs and warmed up some roasted summer ...

An easy and healthy dinner tonight using shiitake mushrooms and snow peas from my CSA boxes :-) This is infinitely adaptable to your tastes in meats and veggies. The sauce has a bit of a kick from the red pepper flakes, so omit them if you prefer. ...

This recipe is inspired by this one from Weight Watchers. It was okay. The components were all good, but the sauce was way too thin and didn't stick to or flavor anything else in the stir fry. Next time I'll cut down on the water and add a ...

This was a very tasty take on lettuce wrap thing. My version was inspired by this recipe. I've done Chinese chicken lettuce wraps that are a big hit in our house, and I think these will become a regular too with a little modification. The chicken wraps have the cornstarch ...
