Chicken Soboro Don (Ground Chicken Rice Bowl)

January 18, 2022January 4, 2022 by TC

Starting Japanese cuisine cooking from the beginning can take a lot of initial work, but what I am quickly learning is that a lot of Japanese recipes and home-cooking staples are dishes that can easily be meal prepped. That is to say… you can cook a lot at once, store the leftovers, then serve the … Read more

Pork & Cabbage Stir Fry

January 2, 2022 by TC

Starting Japanese Cuisine month off is a VERY simple dish of stir fried pork and cabbage. Truthfully, this is a dish that exists across many ethnic cuisines (Chinese, Korean, to name a few) and fits well in to my “cooking basics” list as a variation of the default stir fry option. Stir fries like this … Read more

January 2022 – Japanese Cuisine Month

January 2, 2022 by TC

I’m starting off this 12 months of cuisines with one of our favorites: Japanese food! Why Japanese food? Outside of the “because it’s tasty” reason, I already have some familiarity with Japanese cooking, so it makes Japanese cuisine a good starter-month for this 12-month challenge. Japanese food is also often considered healthy, with its focus … Read more

Food Explorer: Craftsman & Wolves

January 2, 2022January 8, 2021 by TC

Craftsman & Wolves is a nationally famous bakery in San Francisco, known for their French-inspired patisseries and flavor explorations. In other words… rows of mouth-watering but untouchable treats! It’s rare to find a bakery that bothers to cater to a dietary-restricted audience (I mean to be fair… if you are going to a bakery then … Read more

Experiment: Guava Cheese Tart

January 11, 2021December 20, 2020 by TC

I bought guava, from Walmart of all places. It came in a small box of 8 and was very inexpensive. This was a surprising find, especially in the Bay Area where fresh guava is not common at all (at least not in stores like “Whole Foods” and “99 Ranch.” But I think it might be … Read more

First Try: Pupusa de Arroz

December 15, 2020 by TC

Pupusas are one of those accidental but life-changing “street food” discoveries that, as someone who cannot eat flour or corn, is now part of my routine eat-out food options. It’s not easy to find a Salvadorean restaurant that delivers during this Covid work-from-home situation (we have 1, but their open hours are sparse). So after … Read more

Homemade bubble tea (from a kit!)

November 22, 2020 by TC

I got this surprise bubble tea kit in the mail for a work team event and absolutely loved the results! I am and still will be a fan of the many bubble tea shops out there (and in the Bay Area there are a lot to choose from) but the results of that socially distanced … Read more

Breakfast Sausage Spice Mix

January 14, 2022September 22, 2020 by TC

Skip the pre-packaged version and make breakfast sausages (or patties or just simple ground meat) full of that breakfast sausage taste without the unwanted additives and excessive sugar. After making this, I definitely prefer it over any restaurant or diner version hands down!
