Lobster Chorizo Stir Fry
For the past week, New York City seems to have been encased in an ice box. With Friday’s light snow gripping the frozen cement, the weekend was an excuse to stay in bed and keep warm. However, that wasn’t to be so. Sunday morning was the New York Half Marathon and since my boyfriend decided…

Lamb Chorizo Dirty Rice Mix
This past weekend, which was absolutely beautiful compared this week which has been below freezing (I’m thankful there has been no snow, which would have made the work week miserable), my roommate and I were planning to go to a knitting store down by Union Square. When we got out the train, the smell of…

Baked Pine-nut Encrusted Tilapia
After attending cooking class at Rustico where I learned how to make pine nut crusted branzino, I really wanted to create more dishes with that technique. I don’t have branzino but I always have a stash of tilapia around so I decided to make a simple dinner with those pine nuts thought in mind.

Mint Lemongrass Shrimp Soup
My mother used to make me this mint shrimp lemongrass soup when I was younger so I would stay hydrated. It’s not fattening and the soup is simple enough to make.

Mint Tea
Mint tea is something I’ve grown to love whenever I go to a Moroccan restaurant, specifically Cafe Mogador. My friend showed me it’s really simple to make and you can make it hot or cold depending on season.

Snow Crab and Asparagus Risotto
I am one of those typical Asians who grew up eating rice all my life. I could not imagine not having rice for an entire week. When I went to Italy for over two weeks, all I had was pasta and meat and I was getting homesick and tired of the food. When I finally…

Steamed Egg
A lot of time, many of my recipes are halved or used very little egg. And I’m left with all this egg! I couldn’t possibly throw it away! So I normally save the egg to make steamed egg. I find it’s the poor people food because it’s mostly water. My mom makes this all the…

Spicy Tuna Stuffed in Panko Crusted Squid
One of the things I love about tuna is that it can taste like meat if you cook it right. So when I originally tried this menu Spicy Tuna Stuffed Squid Tempura by Jennifer Yu of Use Real Butter (by the way, she has AWESOME photos on her website!), I thought, wow, it was amazing!…

Wild Flower Lime-ade
I love flowers. There’s no doubt about that. I’m intrigued by them, drawn to them, and probably in my last life, I was a flower myself. One of my gifts happened to be a wild hibiscus flower in syrup (or you could also purchase it at Macy’s Cellar). Since it’s summer (though today is a…

Fire Roasted Vegetables
Living so close to Costco has been amazing and difficult. Amazing that food is so available but difficult with what I want but can’t/shouldn’t have. The task with living in New York is carting everything back and finding places to store them. How does one bring it back? I’ve yet to use what I call…
