Spicy Shrimp Vegetable Stir Fry with Udon

Seriously hungry this morning, I visited the refrigerators downstairs and pulled out whatever caught my fancy; zucchini, baby bok choy, red bell pepper, scallions, chillies, asparagus and black tiger gambas from the freezer. Having no idea at all what I … Continue reading

Inspiration for the lemon honey duck comes from Raymund at Ang Sarap http://angsarap.net/2013/05/08/vietnamese-style-grilled-lemongrass-pork/ and Daisy at Cool Cook Style http://coolcookstyle.com/.  I liked the lemongrass honey flavor going on with the marinade for Raymund’s pork and Daisy mentioned duck in a comment.  So that’s … Continue reading

Udon Shrimp Noodles

I love Asian noodles, especially fresh udon noodles.  One of my favorite sites, Rasa Malaysia, inspired me to try packaged, pre-boiled udon noodles, and drove me to substitute so many items that I’m sure this doesn’t taste the same but … Continue reading

Char Sui Quail with Two Salads

The refrigerator is almost bare of vegetables.  All I’ve got left is beets and spinach.  It seems such a hardship not being near a Sens style farmers’ market  My full bunch of celery served the cause today in a Martha … Continue reading

Le Petit Poussin

Whenever I see a poussin, I think of how much my mother loved to roast cornish game hens and how much we loved the days that she did.  It seems to me that little birds have a lot more flavor. … Continue reading
