So, I whipped up this super easy and healthy lunch for myself. Ingredients:1 fish fillet (you can use salmon/dory/snapper)1 serving of soba...

Dumplings Cooked 2 Ways
As mentioned in my previous post with the recipe on Pork Dumplings, I finally cooked them in 2 ways – fried as pot stickers and boiled, served with a healthy cabbage soup. The top shows the pot sticker version while the bottom shows the boiled version. The parents preferred the fried ones while I enjoyed...

Pork Dumplings (aka Pot Stickers/ Jiao zi)
My best friend made pork dumplings last week, posted it up onto Facebook and made me ‘itchy’ to try my hands at making them. So I did! They don’t look the prettiest and I have to say that the wrapping is really THE most difficult part of this whole dish and if you’re lazy, just...

It’s a full-on brunch which has a poached egg on a slice of wholewheat toast and topped with smoked salmon and homemade Hollandaise sauce. To make it a little healthier...

Wannabe Kale Frittata with Beef and Cherry Tomatoes
This is a wannabe frittata because I didn’t add cheese nor did I bake this dish and it could be called an omelette except that there’s more kale than egg. I found this dish incredibly tasty and stir frying the kale will eliminate any bitterness that is inherent in the veg. This recipe serves 1....

Stir Fried Shirataki with Kale, Beef and Cherry Tomatoes in a Peanut Sauce
I reckon you guys will be seeing a few more recipes with Kale from me because I recently purchased a whole bunch of it and after reading all the benefits of it, I think I might eat more Kale. Apparently, 1 serving of Kale contains only 30 calories and has enough vitamin C to last...

Replacing Eggs In Baking
If you’re a lazy cook/baker like me, there will be times when you realise that you have missing ingredients just when you’ve taken out the flour, chocolate chips and what nots. Most likely, you’ll find out that you have run out of eggs. We tend to take it for granted that our egg tray is...
