I’ve cooked beef several times. Same with spaghetti so I don’t think I need to repeat the method. Simply said, beef was cooked the Heston Blumenthal manner where I used a searing hot pan and flipped the steak every 15 seconds till it became medium rare. As for the spag, aglio olio means lots of...

Stir Fried Chinese Spinach in Fermented Beancurd Sauce
Those who live in South East Asia will be relatively used to this version of a stir fry. It’s not your usual Cantonese version of oyster sauce or plain garlic. I suppose that it’s more Teochew or Hokkein. Also, its fermented beancurd. Not fermented soybeans. The taste is more like miso but 10x more pungent...

Special Gyudon For Dinner & Plum Vodka
That’s my special Gyudon. I decided not to put most of the beef into the egg mixture AND I used tenderloin instead of sukiyaki beef. The steps are similar to my recipe for oyakodon except that I now separated the soy sauce mixture (mirin and soy sauce) from the beaten eggs and used my new...

Sliced Beef with Asian Mushroom Sauce
It’s not the most visually appealing dish that I’ve cooked so far but this is one of the most delicious that I’ve cooked. This is NOT a stir-fry so for this dish, please use sirloin/tenderloin/rib-eye steaks. In my case, I used tenderloin. What else would you need? Ingredients:3 steaks3 shitake mushrooms, sliced1 clove of garlic,...

Fusion meal – Prawn Risotto with Japanese rice
I didn’t want to open up my new bag of risotto rice so I went with a short grain rice to cook this dish although I reckon you could do this with Thai rice as well. This dish is gluten free and low in fat – perfect for us single ladies. The cooking time is...

Gluten & Wheat-free Baked Seafood Pasta with Mentaiko sauce and Spinach
Doesn’t that look gorgeous? Best of all, it’s gluten and wheat-free, which is good for those with endometriosis or those who are gluten/wheat intolerant. I found an organic food shop which also carries rice penne so I bought that and used this recipe to cover up that very granular taste of the pasta. So, what...

Less fattening Truffle Fries with Parmesan
I had a craving. Cravings MUST be fulfilled. 🙂 Yup, any excuse to have fries. Especially Truffle Fries!! My version is slightly less fattening because I didn’t deep fry my fries. I baked them. This recipe is really easy because I didn’t make my chips from scratch, which I’ve done before when I was a...

Baked Miso Salmon with Baby Spinach Salad
I wasn’t very hungry and despite my truffle fries craving, I decided to be healthy. All fats in this dish are good ones! 🙂 No frying involved and everything was completed within 20 minutes!! I recently bought a bottle of white truffle oil so pardon if the next few dishes have truffle oil in all...

Sunday Brunch – Scrambled eggs with pan fried/grilled vegetables and toasted baguette
Sunday = brunch 🙂 I’ve already blogged about scrambled eggs and I don’t think you’ll need to know about toasted baguette (so yum when it’s cripsy and hot) so I’ll be blogging about the vegetables. We had cheese fondue on Saturday (ripped Nigella Lawson’s recipe) so we had a bit of leftover vegetables so for...
