Festive Roast Duck with Duck Fat Roast Potatoes
•
This amazing Western-style festive roast duck by Jamie Oliver has been my go-to recipe whenever I feel like having duck at home. I recently made this for our usual end of year get-together in place of turkey, due to a complete shortage of turkey in the market this year.

Lepat Pisang
•
Achievement unlocked: lepat pisang! I generally love bananas and every form of dessert or snack we can make with bananas, and lepat pisang is one of my favorites. The thing is, this Malay kuih isn’t as common as some others, and quite often the ones I get are quite disappointing.

Chicken Miso Ramen
•
Rudy loved Japanese food. He missed sushi the most, as consuming raw/ undercooked foods was not advised when undergoing his treatments. As much as we could we still tried to have our Japanese food fix, and ramen was one of the things we wanted to have more of.

Chicken Chashu Fried Rice (Chashu Chahan)
•
I still had some chicken chashu leftover, but not much ramen left to use it as a topping. So I resorted to making the most common thing Asians would with leftovers: make chashu fried rice!

Ramen Eggs (Ajitsuke Tamago)
•
Having made the chashu as part of the toppings for my ramen, next thing to make are the eggs. I used the leftover chashu braising liquid as a marinade, but if this is not available and you simply want to make the eggs on their own, you only need just a few ingredients. Got…

Chicken Chashu for Ramen
•
One day 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. We definitely required toppings.

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: IKEA Copycat Recipe
•
It’s been ages since we’ve been to IKEA. Surely, window shopping or filling our carts with cool stuff we don’t need is fun, but the highlight of our IKEA trips is usually lunch at their cafeteria. Typically, 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.
