Always in the lookout for dinner inspirations on IG! So last week I found this dish – Kou Shui Ji (口水雞), which literally means ‘saliva chicken’. 🤣 The red-oil-based sauce which does take time to prepare is the key flavor to this dish. Combining with the sauce, the spicy, sweet, and savory surely wake up your senses. Somehow it makes you want to crave more, thus, the more proper name of this Chinese dish name is called “mouthwatering chicken”. 😋🐔
Aren’t homemade meals the best? Well, technically, it’s somewhat home cooked meal with the exception of the BBQ pork which was store bought.
Haven’t had bao buns in a while. After finishing up work, I had some time to make these cute little bao buns to go with the lamb slices. So soft and fluffy which makes this ‘riceless’ meal perfect.
This morning we were near in Mission District, and happy we made a stop at the BASA Fish Market to pick up some fresh sushi grade salmon. We don’t visit that area very often. I remember I used to BART over just to pick some up during lunch. So it’s been a while. My goodness…This is so good, almost drooling looking at the picture. I guess this is another reason why we don’t need to go out for our meals…
Following a recipe from IG reel using the air fryer for the (lemongrass) chicken and hers turn out much crispier (at least that’s what I heard from the audio). I’m not sure what happened, but regardless, it still tastes good!
I’ve been following this couple from Korea (Aaron and Claire) on YouTube and they make the simplest Korean food that taste so delicious! Today I’m trying out one of their recipes – the Gochujang noodles. The recipe doesn’t require much ingredients – but need the Gochujang paste of course. The vibrant color of the noodles made it that much more appetizing.
I love love clay pot rice and I’m always try to look for other recipes to make it. Recently I found one cooking with taro! I’ve never tried it and luckily had a small taro at home. Turned out the taro was a bit dry for the rice, but overall, it was a good recipe to try.
Didn’t feel like going out nor in the mood to make anything fancy tonight, so just whip up some spaghetti with marinara and call it a night. What was a surprise was to receive flowers from Ah Lo! It’s the most beautiful bouquet I’ve ever received.
Braised beef tendons with noodles for dinner tonight. We’ve been finishing up the leftovers the past few days, and so we’re excited to have something different!
Every year I host a big meal for Chinese New Year meal for my side of the family. This year my mom gave me some money for take outs so that I don’t have to up cook up a storm (like what I did here). Well, I had planned the menu so that I can prep some, cook some and reheat some. It’s no joke cooking for 30 people, but glad everyone enjoyed the meal. I say this every year, not sure If I’m able to pull this one again next year.
And for dessert…homemade red bean dessert with black sesame tang yuan…
Here’s the menu, with auspicious names of each dish.
