Crispy skinned salmon is by far my favourite way to eat salmon. But today is not about salmon, it's actually about broccolini. So I learnt something new today .... and I felt like such an idiot too after I found out. I felt so naive and ignorant. Anyway, so the new thing I learnt today … Continue reading Crispy skinned salmon with cannellini bean puree and broccolini, tomato and olives
Wontons are such a versatile dumpling. They can be used in soups, dry noodles, served with chilli oil, fried or boiled/steamed on their own. They are actually really easy to make so long as you can be bothered to wrap them up. I prefer them best in a dry noodle. Check out the recipe here. Serves … Continue reading Basic pork and prawn wonton (248 calories per serve)
I haven't been cooking in close to 6 months, pretty much for as long as I have been pregnant. I was feeling too nauseous and sick in the first trimester and then mum came in the second trimester so I got pampered with her cooking. With my husband being away as well, I've had to … Continue reading Garlic butter prawn linguine with cherry tomatoes (507 calories per serve)
Burmese fish curry goes very, very well with rice so it's difficult to eat when you're on a low-carb diet. Actually, most Burmese foods are made to be eaten with a lot of rice and there's even a word for it. In Burmese, they call this "htamin main" which means somethign so good that it … Continue reading Burmese fish curry

I haven't had scallops for a very long time so I thought I'd just grill some on a low-carb base of cauliflower mash. It's not as creamy as my creamy cauliflower puree but it's got slightly lower calories. Serves 4 Prep time 15 mins Cook time 15 mins Ingredients 600g cauliflower (approx. half a large … Continue reading Grilled scallops and cauliflower mash (278 calories per serve)
I love san choy bow, which is a minced pork dish that is usually sered in lettuce cups. However, I had some green cabbage in the fridge that I had bought when it was on sale at the supermarket which would also go well with the pork. So here's a san choy cabbage! Serves 4 … Continue reading San choy cabbage
The name sounds super exotic and complicated but it really isn't. I love eating this either with pasta - I used fettucine on this occasion - or dipped with bread. Buon appetito!

This pipis recipe is very simple and easy to make. I don't cook pipis often, mainly becasue it's quite expensive. It's usually about $20/kg and half of its weight is in shell anyway. While this recipe uses pips, feel free to use other types of clams. Serves 3 as a side (approx. 250 calories per … Continue reading Stir-fried lemongrass pipis recipe
