Pan Asian ribs
This recipe is my love note to Pan Asian cuisine. The vibrancy, freshness, and acidity in the ingredients and flavor profile of Asian cooking, especially Southeast Asian cooking, is synonymous with summer for me.
So let’s make this delicious, juicy, and surprisingly light summer dish to serve at your next party.
Mustard asparagus
Summer is almost here and it’s time for fresh veggies! I love to prepare asparagus in my cast iron pan. This way of cooking preserves the vegetable’s natural crunchiness and adds a deliciously oily sear/char that brings our the earthy grass flavor that asparagus is so well known for.
Three ingredients are all you need. Really good stone-ground mustard, garlic, and asparagus - let me show you how to make this recipe in less than 10 minutes.
Failproof fried rice
Wonder why your fried rice doesn’t taste like a restaurant’s? Wonder no more, I got you boo.
This recipe has a few main ingredients that we’ll walk through guaranteeing you a plate of fried rice that talks the talk and walks the walks.
Karaage- Japanese fried chicken
If you know personally, fried chicken is what I want to be buried with when I die. Forgo flowers, forgo wreaths, just chicken.. fried chicken.
On that note, you’ll definitely want to try Karaage- Japanese fried chicken. As fast as it is easy to make, this dish is a winner winner.. chicken dinner. Let’s get to cooking!
Aloo ko achar
This one is for my Nepali friends who live abroad, we really miss aloo ko achar the most! The aromatic and spicy mustard and sesame flavors with the hearty texture of the potato really capture the essence of home-cooked Nepali staples. Served as an appetizer or a side dish chilled or at room temp, aloo ko achar is a staple at any Nepali dinner or celebration.
Kimchi fried rice
Kimchi fried rice with an over-easy egg on top is so good, nom my god. This rich, savory and sour dish is all you need when you are a bit hungover on a Saturday, or when you didn’t realize your bestie who is visiting you landed an hour early at noon and you forgot to make a yummy meal to welcome them.
Green with envy curry
This thai curry recipe is gonna leave your guest green with envy over your culinary skills! So easy to make, you can then share my recipe their envy to rest.
Delectably creamy and spicy, and so so fragrant from the lemongrass and Thai basil, you’ll be licking your plate clean!
Pani puri
This has to be the second most requested street food I make for my friends! Pani puri is an insanely popular Indian street food. I used to get in so much trouble for sneaking off to the market square all the time to buy pani puri.
It’s hard to describe the flavor profile. A little sour and spicy with a subtle sweetness from the tamarind paste- when served chilled this street food is so refreshing, herbaceous, and lip smackingly addictive.
