Quite a lot of people probably have instant noodles in their kitchens now…stocking up perhaps due to the #StayHome policy of most governments. I only have the noodles without the seasoning, because too much MSG is bad for you. So while there are a few blogs out there that show you how to ‘upgrade’ your instant ramen, I’m going to show you how you can create totally new dishes that are healthy and easy to cook. Great for those days where your family is sick of rice or pasta. I’m only going to mention the ingredients for the toppings since...

k-Grain Kefir Probiotics
With the COVID-19 virus pandemic, more than ever we need to boost our immunity to best defend ourselves against any potential infection. Did you know that our guts contain 70% of the cells in our immune system – where there is a complex relationship between gut bacteria and immunity. That is why the effectiveness of our immune system depends on a healthy gut, and that is why there is increasing importance to eat a variety of probiotics and one source of this would be from kefir.

Ugly Meatball Spaghetti
This recipe is pretty similar to the hamburger one, except that I changed the olive oil to sesame oil and I didn’t add in any onions. You can choose either recipe to follow for the meatballs. What I like about both the meatball and beef patty recipes, is that you can prep these in advance and store them in the freezer for future uses! Great for meal preps too. Some other options to make your sauce more special: Add a tablespoon of garlic chillli sauce or Korean gojuchang (red pepper paste) to give it a kick Add half a cup...

Laziest Mac & Cheese
This is for us lazy cooks and students! I’m not a student by the way. Hahaha. But this dish is perfect for those days after work where you forgot to take out the meat or fish to thaw. I used almond milk instead of dairy milk but feel free to use whatever milk you prefer. I only used almond milk because I can’t drink too much milk and with the amount of cheese inside, I went with a nut milk. You can check out the video below or simply refer to the written recipe below. Ingredients: 1 serving Pasta (can...

Souffle Omelette
Now that we’re all staying at home, it is the perfect time to try out new recipes or techniques. So I’ve been seeing this on the internet for some time and I really wanted to try it while giving myself the excuse that I’ll be giving my arm a workout (LOL). Great thing about this dish is that you don’t really need a lot of ingredients and it’s really quite easy…provided that you don’t over whisk your eggs or burn the omelette at the stove. You can check out my video below or read the recipe as well. Ingredients: 3...
