Silken tofu baked to perfection with a delicious thick honey sesame sauce, perfect over white or brown rice or vegetable fried rice (tipsychocochip recipe)! – – I’m all about that silken tofu. All the food bloggers that I read swear by cooking with firm or extra firm or super-duuper-extra-extraordinarily-firm. Sure, it makes life easy in the kitchen. But I just don’t like to eat it. Silken tofu I can eat all day. You know all those things that they say “melt in your mouth”? Well, silken tofu literally melts in your mouth. Silken tofu is not the easiest ingredient to work with. If…

Nikuman (肉饅), literally “steamed bun with meat filling”. It’s a savory pork filling tossed with cabbage, scallions, soy sauce, and seasonings wrapped in a fluffy steamed bun! – – I’m going on an Asian kick! I made it to the asian grocery store this weekend, and have many yummy things coming your way! Check out the updated photos for pad see ew, sweet stir fried noodles tossed with chicken, bean sprouts, and baby bok choy! But these nikuman are pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. They really hit the spot for me this weekend! Tasty, savory, and fluffy–all…

This is one of my favorite go-to party recipes! It’s super adaptable, perfectly cheesy, tasty, and easy to throw together a bit before a party. I made this on the menu for my 25th birthday party this weekend! In spite of turning a quarter century old, we brought in the next age of my life with exactly what we always do–some drinks and games! And of course some yummy munchies! On the menu included this pull apart bread, roast beef horseradish party sandwiches, and corn salsa, the last brought by my good friend K! It was super tasty and a…

It was a bit of a late dinner today. Crazy day for me. T was headed off all the way through DC to the other end of the Orange line today, so he had to get up early and was out the door before I even got up. He told me early, so it should have been no big deal, I just had to take a few extra minutes to walk Kenichi. Lo and behold, of course, that when I came back in from our normal morning walk, Kenichi decided to run for freedom. I chased him probably a quarter…

I made this for a quick dinner today, and it was tasty and looked just like the pictures over at damndelicious! I made them for dinner with some fried rice to whip in some veggies, but these would also be perfect as an appetizer! Make the meatballs a little bit smaller for an appetizer, but would be a good small party recipe. If you had more than around 6 people I’d double the recipe (but in either case would still serve another app or two)! Honestly, I don’t even have much to say about this recipe because it’s so straightforward.…

Here is my classic turkey burger recipe, with a little dijon thrown in for some flavor! I classify this recipe as a “simple” one since I have most of the ingredients around the house, and the ones I usually need to shop for include: ground turkey, gruyere, and scallions! Less than 5 ingredients, so I call simple. Just toss everything in a bowl, and make sure to mix together thoroughly, but only until just incorporated unless you want some tough burgers! I’ll let you in on my secret for well-cooked burgers when you’re making them on the stove! I like the…
