Thai Stir Fry, plus a way to find exciting new Asian recipes!

So I had a bunch of miscellaneous vegetables plus chicken lying around, meaning it was high time for some stir-fry. I poked around for a recipe and was originally going to make this one. It was basic enough that I wouldn’t screw it up. Plus, after having visited the grocery store, I had all the [...]

Since I haven’t posted about red curry in awhile…here’s a post with red curry in it!

I just really like red curry. I haven’t had a chance to make it really recently, unfortunately, as all of my interesting ingredients are either sitting, unused, at my parent’s house in Richmond, or are sitting, hopefully being used, at various friends’ houses. I did make some curry recently using Jamaican curry paste and, while [...]

Yet More Adventures with Pad Thai

So I’ve been on a quest to make tasty pad thai. This quest was created when a bottle of pad thai sauce came into my possession. I will now document two attempts to make pad thai, one a bit more successful then the other. In reading about how to make pad thai, I got overwhelmed [...]

The noodles that tried so hard to be pad thai, but failed (deliciously)

Tofu with Peanut Sauce (aka More Protein Then You Ever Needed, Plus Some!)

I’ve been struggling, for many an eon now (and by ‘eon’, I mean ‘cooking session’), to make tofu such that I don’t feel like I’m eating teeny sponges. In theory, one can cook tofu such that it will be crispy, yet fluffy, on the outside, and delicious all over. I’ve had it like that in [...]

White Squash and Red Curry and Bad Pacman References

At some point in the not too distant past, this little bugger sauntered into my life: A mystery of a vegetable, indeed. I let it sit a few days, just to see if a yellow Pacman squash would wander in and try to eat it. When that didn’t happen, I figured that it was inevitably [...]

Mango with Sweet Rice

Yeah, so I had the worst diarrhea ever recently. I blame this stuff, personally. Mango and rice, seems harmless, eh? My bowels would disagree. Luckily, it was rather an average creation, so it wasn’t too painful to trash the rest of it. My mistake was merging a bunch of different recipes together into the form [...]
