Recipes with meat
Burmese beef curry is one of my husband's favourite dishes. He can eat several serves of this in one sitting. You can use whatever type of cut you like but the best is using brisket off-cuts from my husband's smoking sessions. It has the perfect balance of meat and rendered fat with the tomatoey base … Continue reading Burmese beef curry
Mexican chicken and mushroom is so called because of its spices. I don't think it's a Mexican dish at all. When I was in high school, I worked at a food court outlet that sold almost everything. We did kebabs, wraps, sandwiches, tacos, nachos, tostadas, dim sims, chips, coffee, breakfast. One of the dishes that … Continue reading Mexican chicken and mushroom
Mongolian beef stir fry is so addictive and is one of those foods that make me eat a lot more rice than I should. That's what makes it so dangerous calorie-wise.

I hadn't made spicy mapo tofu in a while so when I made it again (with a few tweaks), it really got me hooked all over again.

Creamy chicken and mushroom pasta is one of the most comforting meals in the world. You can have it with any kind of pasta such as fettucine, ravioli, rigatoni, penne, etc. I chose spaghetti for this mainly because I went to Costco that one time and bought an insane amount of spaghetti. It was a … Continue reading Creamy chicken and mushroom pasta
This celery stir fry with pork is so quick, easy and versatile. I use this as a base recipe for my fridge clean-outs. I like it with celery the best with its crunchy sweetness. I often have celery in the fridge as it's cheaper for me to buy the entire head, instead of individual stalks. … Continue reading Celery Stir Fry with Pork
Swimmer crabs were on sale for a price I could not refuse. The crabs were, however, quite small. My husband remarked that had they been harvested from Australia (instead of somewhere in Asia), they may even have been too small, legally. I actually didn't know what to make with these but I did want Singapore … Continue reading Singapore style chilli swimmer crabs
