  • Tom Yum Soup with Kale and Shrimp

    Mr. D (aka David with an E) decided that he wanted to go on a mostly gluten-free diet. Knowing him (and many of the men in my life), I didn’t expect he’d be eating well cooked meals unless you consider yogurt 3x a day, awell cooked meal. So I decided to help out by preparing…

  • Tempura Shrimp & Vegetables

    Boxing Day, which is typically a British holiday in which you open Christmas gifts, arrived quite warmly, cool breeze and partly cloudy weather. It is a rest day but we are invited to have lunch at an ex-UNEP employee’s home near Karura Forest.

  • Day 26: Pho Cabbage Salad

    I love soups in the summer despite the heat and humidity. I always could go for a bowl of pho or ramen. So I decided to make a salad with a “thin” broth.

  • Day 20: Hoisin Shrimp Salad

    Well, it’s another Friday in the office. This dish, due to the daikon, had quite a smell so I took it out to eat in the bleeding sun, burning onto the gray concrete. Where is a shade when you need one during lunch? Oh, right behind that cheesy Melt shop.

  • Day 17: Mango Shrimp Noodle Salad

    After a great first day at SmashingConf at The Times Center is hot, sweaty NYC, I wanted to come back to a nice cool salad that didn’t require too much heat. This salad is a nice cold dish and can be prepared in advance. Only the noodles and shrimp is needed to be cooked. And…

  • Day 14 Dumpling Cabbage Salad

    The weekend started with a bright beautiful clear morning. It was the perfect day for a walk to the farmer’s market where I got some more vegetables. I’m finding that as I’ve gone through all these salads, I’m buying and eating more vegetables. It’s a great feeling when I go to bed and I don’t…

  • Day 4 Berry Citrus Salad

    I love hot weather. It’s one of my favorite season. But I won’t lie that it’s a bit unbearable without an AC. And since I can’t afford to waste my money on electricity, there’s no AC in the house. So all the heavy cooking/baking tends to be done in the early mornings when it’s still…

  • Chili Basil Shrimp

    I’ve run out of food in my refrigerator! All I had was a measly bag of shrimp, some fish, and chicken, and some really bad vegetables. I went to my balcony and saw basil and researched some idea and found a simple enough recipe.

  • Mixed Citrus Salad

    This recipe was inspired when I went food shopping and I saw this giant fruit. Was it a grapefruit? No, it was something called pomelo. I’ve never had one before and it was so intriguing that I couldn’t resist not buying it.

  • Mee Katang (Khmer Seafood Stir Fry)

    When I used to live in Lowell, MA, surrounded by many Khmer food, I used to have my brother order out Mee Katang special from Red Rose. It is like fast food but with vegetables and meat. I was fortunate enough to watch my mom cook it at home that when I left, I was…
