Peanut-Coco Vegetarian Wok

By
peanut vegetarian wok tofu

Peanut-coco Vegetarian Wok is a well known recipe, also so simple and fast to make, a great made under 20 minutes dish. It’s one of those few really fulfilling vegetarian dish, plus it’s filled with healthy veggies. The kids won’t feel they are eating a bunch of vegetables, since the creamy peanut-coco sauce will distract them from it. I, personally, have done this dish many time with chicken, but I’m trying to cut on the meat for the sake of my planet, and done my recipe with a curry-mango flavored tofu instead. To my own surprise, the tofu, which I’m still learning to love, gave the dish a new dimension, a better one even than the boring chicken pieces. I’ve bought a pre marinaded tofu piece, which turned out to be a big success for my relation with tofu and gave this dish a whole new fruity and healthy dimension. Carbon steel Woks I love…

Stir fried beef and mushroom in chinese wine

By
Chinese wine beef and mushroom noodles

Stir fried beef and mushroom in chinese wine with udon noodles is so tasty, this rice wine is a bold, tasty compliment to any chinese dish. It smells way more powerful than normal grape wine and its taste is way bolder too, it’s closer to a fortified wine in taste. Without saying you need to be careful not to put too much of it. Yesterday, I went to my favorite asian market because I needed a refill of this, hard to find, vietnamese fish sauce. I can not recommend it enough, the vietnamese one is made with only fish and taste different than the thai fish sauce they sell in most stores. Once in there, I love to pick up something new, so this time, I’ve decided to experiment with this rice wine called Chen nian hua tiao Chiew. Let me say… after my first dish with it, this is going…

Coconut chicken noodles

By
Coconut chicken vermicelli

Feeling like a fresh, light, summer meal? Get those rice noodles out and let’s make a simple wok dish. The coconut chicken recipe is really similar to a yellow curry sauce, but this one is for lazy people, you can use weather the yellow curry paste but I simply used the curry powder. That powder is actually a British invention to reproduce the orient flavours. The powder usually contains curcuma, ginger, turmeric, coriander, fenugreek, pepper, cardamom etc. It a mix of at those asian flavours in one pot, some powders are spicier than others, the ingredients tends to change depending of the company. I use this curry powder on popcorn, with butter, it’s delicious! Coconut meat constipate while the coconut water is a natural laxative, how perfect is that? A perfect balance within a single coconut. In the recipe, coconut milk is used, but it could be switched to coconut cream, to make it fatter,tastier and smoother.…

Caribbean chicken & pineapple wok

By
spicy chicken pineapple woktop

This recipe is a bite into the tropics, brings you right to those caribbean islands, also is a great recipe for those people on eternal diet, like myself. You can spice it up to your liking and with whichever is your favorite hot pepper… mine are the habanero peppers. My husband happen to grow them and I obviously have too many, so I dehydrate them and make powder out of them. I’m not usually a big hot pepper lover but this one is special… the habanero has that fruity taste to it. I encountered with this hot pepper in Martinique, a caribbean island. Since then… I add it to many of my spicier recipes, like the spicy “ratatouille” spaghetti sauce with a bit of habanero pepper, it’s fantastic or I do “spicy cod fritters” which is a “typical” meal from the Antilles. They eat those balls like candies over there,…
