Summer Chicken Salad

Asian Pasta Salad

yea…this is not a yellow trend or anything. It’s just because I’m Asian and I like to eat a lot. Today, I found last batch of everything Italian; pasta, prosciutto, salami in the pantry, but seriously I wasn’t in the mood for Italian. I migrated all of them to Asia by adding chilli, sesame oil, fish sauce, rice vinegar and lemon juice. This looks like a mixed child

Kha-Moo ( slow cook pork leg)

I crave this dish once in a while since living in New York because not every Thai restaurant has it on the menu. So, the inspiration for making this dish came from a conversation that I had with my dad over the phone. He always seems to know how to cook really well. He explained like an expert of how to make Kha-Moo ( slow cook pork leg), but he’s never made one himself. This is a true experiment from my dad’s imagination and my memories. I didn’t even know how it was going to turn out since I started making it. I waited for almost 5 hours to taste it and I think it was close enough and looked good for a first attempt. I know my dad will criticize how badly I chopped this piggy, but all I know is this is worth my time and effort.

my version of frittatas

My first successful frittatas from leftover pasta last night. I’ve checked many recipes for frittatas and tried to make it few times. Last night, all these little guys came out soft and fluffy inside. I feel lucky to be stubborn for cooking even though I’ve failed many times.
