Tom and I probably should start coordinating our posts:) — here’s his. I made this omelet as a special treat for myself for Mother’s Day….
I probably shouldn’t call it omuraisu except that it does have rice inside the omelet, a practice that I automatically associate with Japanese cuisine. Our Filipino omelets are […]
These spring rolls/eggrolls/lumpia were not made by me. A friend made it for a picnic gathering, and we all partook of the delicious fruits of her hard work. I have featured lumpia in a previous post, though rice paper was used there. You can follow the same recipe, but use spring roll […]
The children are missing their fried fish, but for now, I am playing it safe. I haven’t bought seafood from any of our Asian markets here for the past three weeks, and the ones I have are clearly marked “harvested in US waters”. It’s getting mighty sad, this current state of affairs. […]
Obento is the term the Japanese use to describe a packed lunch box. It is a very broad term that encompasses a great variety of refinement.
If I asked you to picture in your mind a car, some of you would see a fast red Ferrari, some would see a family sized Honda, and still others […]
Another dish that comes from the excellent book by , Cradle of Flavor. It is very similar to Filipino ginisa, so people familiar with that dish will definitely like this. The main difference is that this uses coconut milk. I made a few substitutions based on what I had here, but the […]
This soup isn’t from any particular Asian cuisine — just a melange of stuff that I found while looking for something to make a quick lunch for the kids. Served with a sandwich or roasted vegetables, it’s great for a light meal that can be prepared in under an hour.
To prepare the broth:
1 large […]
The Japanese have a passion for beer that is slowly overtaking Sake. Almost all of the beer sold in Japan is from domestic breweries and most of these are from the big 4. These major breweries are Asahi, Sapporo, Kirin and Suntory.
Japanese beer is legally classified by it’s ingredients. There are a large selection of “Real” […]
This is one of my favorite Japanese snacks, and now my little one’s as well. It is very easy to make, as long as you don’t obsess about it being perfect:). This one in the picture was the nicest one that came out. The others were lopsided or had leaks and generally […]
Bistek, for “beef steak”, is a favorite Filipino dish. It is typically made using tender steak cuts, sliced thinly and marinated in soy sauce and kalamansi, then fried briefly as to maintain tenderness, and served with onions (and sometimes, potatoes) — also fried — along with its marinade, reduced to a syrupy salty sauce. […]
Mother’s Day was celebrated earlier this year, and the absence of crowds made the day so pleasant that we have decided to make this our new tradition. Since it was “my” day, I got to pick where we were dining.
Asiana Korean Restaurant is about 20 minutes North from the heart of Cincinnati, so that […]
