Egg tofu is really fiddly to cook with because it is just so soft. That's also what makes it so darn tasty. To 'harden' up the tofu, it is often fried to give it up a bit of a crust. It is then more easily added into dishes without fully disintegrating. This dish is a … Continue reading Fried egg tofu with pork
This clams recipe is very quick to make and is so full of flavour that it is perfect with rice. Cambodian food always packs a big flavour punch and this 'cha leah' is no different. My husband and I had something similar in Siem Reap. I say it's similar, but not quite the same as … Continue reading Cambodian stir fried clams recipe (Cha Leah)

I suppose that's why I never cooked it myself. It was always a thing that he … Continue reading Chicken tikka masala (590 calories per serve)
This toasted tomato rice recipe was such a hit with my 2 year old daughter that I've decided to keep the recipe in the interwebs. My daughter loves rice so long as it is plain and has nothing in it. There have been times where I've set down a plate with rice, some meat and … Continue reading Toasted tomato rice recipe
Although we're technically at the final couple of weeks of autumn, I already feel as though winter has arrived. What I love most about winter are all the soups I get to enjoy and I absolutely love creamy soups such as this one. Although I have used pumpkin in this soup, the base is pretty … Continue reading Creamy pumpkin soup (282 calories per serve)
Honey soy chicken wings are my go-to when I unexpectedly have chicken wings. It's a funny story but I thought I had defrosted some chicken drumsticks but they turned out to be chicken wing pieces.
