This was a quick-fix if you happened to bring home some char siu pork or (Chinese BBQ pork) from the Asian market. And you really should do that. It’s good stuff and good to have on hand, if for no other reason than to make this wrap. It was deeeeeeeeeeelicious! Continue reading

I hope you are familiar with the Asian chef, Ming Tsai. He did a series on PBS and he had a restaurant in the Boston area, Blue Ginger. Anyway, this is based on a recipe from one of his books. They are so good, sloppy and just plain delicious. I think they’re better the next day. Continue reading

This is a really nice side dish for an Asian-inspired dinner. Well, for any dinner, really. I love spring onions. They are like giant scallions, but more onion-y and maybe a bit sweeter. At any rate, they’re darned delicious. Continue reading

Think schnitzel, with Asian flavors. Why not? It’s crispy. It’s complex. It’s delicious. Did I mention that it’s best marinated ahead of time, so there’s minimal last minute prep? Now, I have your attention…. Continue reading

Ramen noodles are good. I don’t care what anyone says, they are a quick and easy lunch, snack or as here, dinner. The folks over at epicurious.com recently published something on Korean ramen, that messes with the cooking procedure. They could be on to something…. Continue reading

Summer rolls are an absolute favorite of The Goddess and her peeps. They are the perfect summer dinner on a scorching hot day, but really I can eat these any day, any time, any season.

The kind of thing you can whip up (or roll up) after work, in a flash. Continue reading
