eggs, Onions, Rice, sesame oil, soy sauce, vegetables

Fried Rice is a favorite of The Latin Lover; well really, who doesn’t like fried rice?  It’s fried, after all.  This is the version I made yesterday, but it changes according to what I’m feeling and what I’m serving the rice with.  Rice is a blank canvas for flavor!  You will need cold rice, so plan ahead…there it is again!  Continue reading →

beef broth, ginger, Ground pork, rice noodles, vegetables

Gong Hey Fat Choy!  February 19th is Chinese New Year.  It’s the year of the Ram or Goat, so planning ahead, as that’s a good thing (I’m trying to remember this concept; it’s not going as well as I’d hoped), I’m giving you Asian-type recipes this week, so you can plan your own New Year’s feast to celebrate the year of the Ram.  This nice brothy soup, with a real melting pot of Asian flavors, is a great place to start.  It can be spiced up with chili sauce, served with or without rice noodles and can be made ahead.  The little meatballs are poached in the soup broth, rather than baked or fried, making it simple to prepare and almost a one-pot meal.  Continue reading →
