I’m so proud of this dish! It looks amazing…and I cooked it mainly because I wanted a low carb meal and I made Hollandaise sauce. Really easy to do too. If you haven’t realised, I’m quite the lazy efficient cook. Ingredients: 1 salmon fillet steak 1.5 cup kale 2 cups cauliflower 3 tbsp Hollandaise Sauce 1 clove garlic, minced salt to taste Method: Cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces so that they’ll fit into a food processor. Grind it until it looks like rice. Heat up a pan, add olive oil and cook your salmon fillet on both sides until...

Gyu Nami inspired Gyudon
I didn’t want to cook a simple steak with vegetables and some sort of carb so I was inspired by the Gyudon (beef bowl) by Gyu Nami to come up with this dish which can be easily replicated at home. But unlike Gyu Nami, I didn’t use wagyu and it turned out really yummy so I reckon that you can use any type of beef, as long as it’s meant for a steak or roast. It’s not a difficult dish to do but requires a bit of wash up because you will use several pots and pans to cook each...

Quinoa with Chicken and Asparagus
I know, I know…this doesn’t look like much but it tasted amazing! It was so simple to cook as well, which is great during this pandemic where we’re all stuck at home but still lazy. I was tempted to call this a 3 ingredient dish…but…if you count garlic and oil, it’s really not 3 ingredients, right? Hahaha. Ingredients: 2-3 pieces of chicken thigh 1 large asparagus stalk 1/2 cup quinoa 1 cup water or stock 1 clove garlic, minced salt and pepper to taste Method: Heat up a saucepan with oil and when hot, fry the garlic till it’s almost...

2 Ways to do Noodles
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. What is kefir? It is essentially cultured, fermented milk which has a thinner consistency...

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...

Drowning Our Covid-19 Woes & Celebrate Life at Home
My friends and I have joked that since alcohol kills viruses, why not start drinking more so that we’ll disinfect ourselves from the inside? While that’s not how it works…it really doesn’t hurt to have a little tipple or more at home while supporting local businesses. Great time to stock up on the wines and spirits (all puns intended) too!
