I got the inspiration to make gochujang mayonnaise from Judy Joo’s “Korean Food Made Simple” on Food Network. And I thought that would be an excellent idea to boost the regular mayonnaise with an added punch of flavour. Fried food and mayonnaise always go hand in hand and since I had some squids in the […]

This dish is like chicken braised in a minestrone-like soup. It’s tangy, sweet and fresh which really refreshes the palate. I served it with a simple and healthy quinoa which you can pair separately or alternatively, add them into the stew itself for a wholesome one pot meal. Tomato Chicken Stew with Quinoa and Chickpeas […]

Inspired by my mother-in-law’s salted steamed minced pork, I thought I would do a leaner one with chicken and instead of using just salt, I added salted fish for a more robust flavour. In order to draw out the fragrance of salted fish, after I have soaked it in water and cut it into small […]

I remembered coming across a copycat KFC fried chicken recipe while flipping through a recipe book at the library a while back. And sometime last year, I was watching this food programme on TV that gave an insight on how KFC made their O.R. chicken. There wasn’t any overnight marination and they merely dunked the chicken […]

Last week, I had introduced the new Corningware Retroflam cookware to all of you and also gave my review after putting the Corningware Retroflam casserole pot to the test with a Rice Wine Chicken recipe. My experience of using the cookware was better than expected. To read more about it, click on The New Corningware […]

I was introduced to gluten-free baking recently and thought I would do a mochi baking experiment with glutinous rice flour as I was curious to know how oven-baked mochi would turn out to be. In order to reduce calories for this dessert treat, I substituted oil with extra pumpkin puree to give it more moisture. […]

Chuncheon, Korea is well known for its abundance of poultry farms. Hence it is not surprising that one of their most popular local food is the dak galbi which is a spicy stir-fried chicken dish with assorted vegetables (cabbage, onions, sweet potatoes, spring onions) and rice cakes. For my version, I added sweet potato vermicelli […]

Oyakodon is a Japanese dish in which chicken and egg are simmered together in a sauce and then served over rice. For my version, I used boneless chicken leg which I roasted in the oven to give it a crispy, golden brown crust and I served it with brown rice as a low-GI option. A […]

Japanese curry soba noodles? Perhaps curry udon or curry ramen is more common here in Singapore but since I’m so hooked onto soba noodles these days, I just want to give this combination a try. The curry tastes so robust (I like S&B brand of Japanese curry sauce mix) and the gravy is good enough […]

This is a quick-fix pasta meal that is perfect for a weekday dinner. It mainly uses ingredients and seasonings that you probably already have in your fridge and/or pantry. I served the braised chicken with macaroni but you can use any pasta of your choice or with crusty bread if you like. Braised Chicken and […]

Do you sometimes crave for certain food after watching TV especially food or cooking programmes? I made chicken and waffles the other day because I had a huge craving for fried chicken and crispy waffles after watching an episode of Junk Food Flip on Food Network. And after watching a Korean drama on Channel U […]

I bought this new Eupa brand of waffle iron from South Korea off Qoo10 recently. Very happy with my purchase because my previous waffle iron was just rubbish – supposed to be non-stick and even though I still greased it with oil or butter, my waffle still stuck to both the top and bottom and […]

I got the idea of using crabmeat in fried rice after my mum commented that she made a crab fried rice the other day which was delicious. And so I went to the supermarket and bought a pack of cooked crabmeat (from the chilled fresh fish section). Though there weren’t much ingredients in this fried […]

A few days ago, I posted a Honey Lemon Chicken Recipe. Today, I’m sharing a quick and easy Chinese stir fry recipe in which I’ve also incorporated honey and lemon. This dish tastes sweet and tangy with a little heat from fresh red chillies. You can substitute the pork with either chicken or fish because […]

I was (and still am) so in love with this pasta dish after experimenting with a garlic and evaporated milk sauce that I had to cook it three days in a row, lol. But the husband and I didn’t get sickly of it! Though I might have called this pasta dish ‘creamy’, it wasn’t really […]
