Angry Birds Onigiri Lunch Box
An idea struck me when it was my son’s lunch box day on Fridays. Jon loves Onigiri, so I decided to make him an Angry Birds Lunch Box! Angry Birds, the popular & best-selling mobile game, has taken the world by storm. The game is about these birds who’re angry because their eggs were stolen by a bunch of green pigs. Since they can’t fly, they’ve to use a giant slingshot to catapult themselves to destroy those…
Easy Thai Pork Noodle
There’s been a lot of talk lately about cutting our meat consumption, (either for your health, or money savings, or for the planet) but if your family is anything like mine, they tend to expect meat for most dinners. Rather than doing vegetarian meals, another way to reduce the amount of meat you eat is to just have less of when you do have it. So this is a “light” meat dinner. It doesn&…
Char Siu Pork
Reader Deb, of Deb Cooks…, sends us this recipe, which I thought was perfect to share with you guys. Pork tenderloin is a favorite of mine–it’s tasty, healthy, and quick cooking–and I’m always looking for new recipes for it. I love the idea of serving this with Chinese Pancakes. Deb writes: I have been making this delicious dish for quite a few years now. In fact my love of c…
Shrimp and Asparagus Noodle Salad
Next in our series of ‘overlapping meals‘, here is a wonderful Asian inspired main dish salad that is quick to prepare on a hot summer evening. I love this cross between a pasta dish and a salad! This was inspired by Vietnamese Noodle Salads, but it draws on similar sauce and techniques from our Pad Thai. It uses some of the same ingredients as well (use up the rest of your noodles, and more of yo…
Basil Chicken (Gai Pad Krapow)
I’ve been on a kick of Asian inspired food lately (like this Easy Pad Thai!) and this one looks like an excellent choice… A simple Thai meal! Basil Chicken (Gai Pad Krapow) at No Recipes. Thai Basil Chicken is one of those dishes that fits squarely in the category of best-bang-for-your-buck. Not only is it a cheap dish to make, it’s incredibly satisfying, and takes almost no time to make. I dunno…
Spotlight: Easy Pad Thai
I adore Pad Thai… it’s one of my favorite comfort foods (ever since the time I had to go to the hospital to have my appendix out, but that’s another story…!) But I’ve never attempted to make it. Our friend Patricia at Brownies For Dinner has what looks to be a simple recipe for making it at home, that I just might have to try very soon! Patricia Says: I have had a love-hate relat…
Bibimbap with Veggies & Flank Steak
Bibimbap is a Korean dish whose name literally means “mixed cooked rice” or “mixed meal. I made mine with Flank Steak, baby aspargus, baby bok choy, mushrooms, snap peas, onion and water chestnuts. Topped with a fried egg and served with sides of sesame seeds and sriarcha, Bibimbap is a flavorful and filling meal. Here’s what you’ll need For the Marinade/Sauce 1 pound flank steak 1 pear, gra…
Pretty & Easy: Asian “Stirfry” with Chili Sauce
A go-to meal in everyone’s repertoire should be a basic stir fry. And once you get the basics down, you can improvise and improve on it to your hearts content. Technically, this isn’t a stir fry, because I don’t really stir-fry the meat, but you get the general idea. And of course, the chicken used here could be other meats, shrimp, tofu, or whatever you have on hand. I started with a little…
