This was an experiment to use up some of the leftover lamb roast. It was okay, but the lamb didn't really mesh well with the other flavors. Next time I might try a more Mongolian blend of spices, but for this set of veggies and seasoning, I'd suggest ...

I found this recipe in "Picnics, Potlucks, and Barbecues" Taste of Home special magazine. Here is a link to the original recipe for Sesame Pork Kabobs. I used less onion, increased the garlic a bit, and used fresh ginger. This was decently good, but I think it ...

The recipe for Sweet, Sticky, Spicy Chicken from Allrecipes has been making the rounds on a message board that I frequent, and it's become a staple of quite a few of my friends. I made a few changes, of course. First, I used skinless boneless chicken thighs instead ...

Gyoza are Japanese dumplings, usually stuffed with some combination of meat and vegetables. This recipe is adapted from the excellent World of Dumplings by Brian Yarvin. They were very tasty. Next time I think we'll steam them, though, to save a few calories. Not that it ...

With the warmer weather tonight was another grilling night. I made my version of galbi, Korean style grilled beef, which I've blogged about before here. I increased the quantities of soy sauce and sake a bit just to get better coverage on the meat this time around. ...

Gong Hey Fat Choy!
Happy Chinese New Year!
We had egg drop soup and a lovely veggie filled pork stir fry for dinner tonight. Neither of us was much a fan of the egg drop soup, so I'm not going to post the recipe. The vinegar that the recipe called ...

This is a basic stir fry. Sometimes I use asparagus or green beans instead of broccoli, or chicken or beef instead of the pork. It's a quick and easy well balanced meal that Shaun and I both enjoy. We didn't bother with any rice tonight since we ...

Shaun and I both love hot and sour soup. It's a hearty yet healthy soup that makes a great meal starter. This recipe is an amalgamation of several that I've tried over the years, and this version was just about perfect. I didn't marinate the tofu, but ...

This was an easy and quick dinner that used up some leftover rotisserie chicken from Costco. It was very tasty and just about perfect. I used this recipe by Jaden Hair, substituting about 6 oz of cooked chicken meat for the shrimp, omitting the corn starch, and omitting ...

Yet another Joy of Cooking recipe. This one was rather bland. Not bad by any means, but just not very interesting. We had this with some jasmine rice and zucchini sautéed with sesame oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. I boiled the leftover marinade for 10 minutes ...
