Chicken Chashu for Ramen
•
We were gifted a set of DIY ramen, which came with 5 portions worth of noodles, broth paste and chili seasoning. I’d like to prepare this for the family, but obviously I shouldn’t waste the opportunity by serving a bowl of noodles in soup and nothing else. Toppings were definitely required.

Breadmaker Kicked-up Dinner Rolls
•
I wanted some bread to go with the Honey-butter Baked Chicken I made, so I decided to make some of my own. These fluffy, buttery dinner rolls are not too sweet or flavorful on their own, great for soaking up pot roast gravy or soups. I just wish I had some soup or gumbo…

Swedish Meatballs
•
Been ages since we’ve been to IKEA. Window shopping or filling our carts with cool stuff we don’t need is fun, sure, but usually the highlight of our IKEA trips is usually lunch at their cafeteria. We’d order the usual staples like the fried chicken wings, grilled salmon, and of course the meatballs.

Chicken Yakisoba
•
I really like yakisoba. Back when I was a student living in Nagoya for over a year, every few days we’d walk down the road to the neighborhood supermarket to get groceries, and prepare our own meals in the dorm kitchen. One of the things I’d pick up from time to time was a…

Mozzarella & Turkey Ham Stromboli
•
Many many years ago I made this lovely stromboli recipe from 500 Pizzas & Flatbreads. I was still such a newbie back then and my skills were pretty rough, so during my last attempt my stromboli were quite misshapen and uneven. What was certain, however, was how amazingly good these savory rolls were.

Curry Noodles
•
I love mi kari. I love them a specific way, where the broth is creamy but not too rich or thick, with a good mix of toppings but not overboard or trying too hard. I also like the broth to be flavorful and bursting with umami, which I imagined should come from some form…

Pressure Cooker Apple Cider
•
I’ve been meaning to make apple cider doughnuts, and I already added a box of apple juice in my Tesco cart the other day. Then after a few trips to the doctor’s by different members of the household, I realized I needed to take even more control over what ingredients I use, of what…

Pais Jagung Sabah
•
Rudy bought another batch of delicious jagung susu, and we still had a few left when Kak’mbang suggested that we make pais jagung, a sweet steamed corn-based kuih wrapped in cornhusks. What an idea!

Duck Fat Mashed Potatoes Recipe
•
We had friends over for steak dinner, and I offered to make the sides and starches. On the menu was my Bayou Chicken Pasta, breadmaker brioche, and I wanted some mashed potatoes to go with the giant steaks we bought. I’ve tried a few mashed potato recipes in the past, but most were really…

Pierogi (Polish dumplings)
•
My obsession with dumplings continues, and this time I stumbled upon a recipe of a less expected origin: Poland. I’m following @fatdadcooks on Instagram, and one day I saw him post a photo of pan-fried pierogies he got from a friend. Curious, I started looking up recipes for pierogies. Apparently there are so many…
