Served in lettuce wraps, it makes a wonderful lunch that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. The first time I made this recipe, it was because I had some leftover baked chicken breast and pre-shredded coleslaw mix that I wanted to use up. I wanted an Asian-style recipe that would utilize those ingredients, and I came across the idea of preparing moo shu. It was so good, the flavor combination so unique, that I have made it many times since....
Nando’s Chicken Copycat – and exciting news!! A few months ago, I got an email that I never dreamed of receiving. {Abbreviated} “Hi Nagi. I’m Rebecca, the editor of Super Food Ideas, Australia’s top selling food magazine….I love the way you write – friendly, understanding and self-deprecating; and also your recipes are fab. It got me thinking, is there some way that we could work together? I think your recipes would be perfect for my readers…....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Chicken and rice – elevated! What makes this lemon rice so special, you might ask? Well, it’s like cooking the rice in triple strength chicken stock because the chicken is cooked ON TOP of the rice. So it gets the full benefit of all the juices from the chicken seeping into it while it cooks. Add the fresh flavours of lemon and boom!...
Pastitsio – Greek pasta bake Pastitsio is so much more than just another pasta bake. A step up from Baked Spaghetti and – dare I say it – even America’s famed Baked Ziti (which regular readers know I hold in high esteem!), this is Greece’s version of classic Italian Lasagna. We love how it slices neatly with the layers clearly visible, and the striking tubular Greek bucatini-style pasta. We love how the rich red wine, tomato and meat sauce is spiked with cinnamon and cloves, giving it uniquely Greek personality rather than “just another meat sauce”....
They are so delicious and they make a wonderful addition to any meat or poultry dish. I love pickles. I think they add so much flavor to almost any meal. Store-bought pickles are great, but making your own at home is so much fun and the result is wonderfully flavorful. Pickled red onions are very easy to make. I make them often because I really enjoy their unique flavor. I like them even better than these very tasty (and easy to make) quick pickles....
I like to make a big pot of it because it keeps well in the fridge for several days. I suppose you won’t be shocked to learn that soup is my favorite lunch to have during the winter. It’s one of life’s pleasures, for sure - savoring a bowl of steaming hot soup (or drinking hot chocolate!) on a truly cold day, one of those days where no matter how many layers you wear, you can’t seem to get warm....
The best part of this dish? The sauce. This stuff is the Mother Of All Flavour Bombs! Any Singaporean will tell you the sauce is the beating heart of Singapore Chilli Crab. It’s an explosion of seafood flavour, less spicy than the name suggests, subtly sweet, deeply savoury. Sauce excellence at its finest! Singapore Chilli Crab You’ve heard about it all your life, you might’ve even tried it on its home turf in Singapore....
Served with the cooking juices for dipping, they make for a hearty, satisfying meal! I’ve been making these tender chops quite often lately. They are really good! And surprisingly, even the Picky Eater agrees to eat them. Perhaps because they are so melt-in-your-mouth tender. She vehemently refuses lamb steak, for example. My favorite meat is beef, but I also really like lamb. I love lamb ribs and lamb shanks. Roasted leg of lamb is wonderful, and the leftovers are great either reheated or cold....
And while they admittedly require some patience, the wonderfully creamy and flavorful result is well worth it. This is one of those recipes that you immediately fall in love with. Once you try it, chances are you will never want to go back to dry overcooked eggs! Especially since it’s not more difficult to make - it just takes a little longer. But these eggs are so amazing, their mouthfeel so wonderful, I think they are well worth it....
My sticky Chinese pork belly has long been one of the favourites on the blog. I’ve made it for Chinese banquets, served strips of it on sticks for buffets (empty dish in 5 minutes flat – I should have made more!), a gluten-free version, using tamari (just as good), served as Gua Bao, and now I’m turning it into a burger!! Why is this sticky pork belly so good? It’s all in the 3-stage cooking process: It’s one of those recipes where silence takes over the room for a few minutes, just while people take in those first bites....
This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....
I made this cheesecake a couple of weeks ago based on a freelance recipe I did last year. I was craving crispy candied pecans (it’s a good idea to make double the amount needed for this cheesecake, just for snacking purposes!) and this recipe jumped into my head. A few adjustments later - to give it more of a winter feel with some warming spices, and also to convert to gluten free for my mum-in-law, and yessss!...
It’s hot. It’s humid. The sun is out in full force, the sky is a pristine, postcard perfect blue. Christmas jingles are playing in the background. Glasses are instantly frosted with condensation the moment chilled wine is poured in. And it’s mandatory to use stubby holders* for beers – not just for practical reasons, but because it’s oh-so-Aussie. Our Christmas’ are the polar opposite of the traditional White Christmas. It’s smack bang in the middle of summer....
Once you have the bread slices, you add the cheese and cook the sandwich in butter into golden, cheesy perfection. When my husband and I embarked on a low-carb diet, I started looking for ways to recreate our favorite foods. It’s not always easy to do, but I keep trying until I reach perfection (or at least keto perfection). This keto grilled cheese is one of my successes. It’s so good!...
Before I start going on about sugary crunchy sprinkles over tart apples (Yum), I wanted to say a big thank you to Bon Bon Break Magazine for publishing my No-Bake Strawberry and Vanilla Cheesecake. I was so excited when they asked me if they could feature it in their online magazine. Please take a look, they’ve got loads of great recipes as well as sections on crafts, parenting tips, gardening and loads more....
Serve with sauteed cabbage or sauteed green peas and kale mashed potatoes. Easy baked pork steak recipe The secret behind these oven-baked pork steaks is the delicious marinade, this is about to be the best pork recipe you’ll ever try. The marinade marries the pork so well and the result is nothing but amazing. Especially for those who enjoy meat in general. The marinade is super easy to make and you’ll probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now!...
Only a few more days left before we all stop our crazy over-eating and drinking and turn into health freaks. That’s the plan anyway. More exercise, less stuffing-my-face and all of those other things that will make me feel like i’m doing a good job of this adulting thing. Do you have any New Year’s resolutions? Here are mine: Until that time…….. I’m going to enjoy the chocolate and the cocktails!...
They are actually substantial enough to serve as a filling lunch or even as a meatless dinner. The combination of mushrooms and eggs is a classic one. There are several ways to go about it, but my favorite is to stuff portobello mushrooms with eggs and bake them in the oven. These breakfast mushrooms are a gorgeous and filling dish. I make them quite often because everyone always raves about them....
You only need a handful of everyday ingredients and minimal effort to make this delicious homemade vegetable soup. Brussels sprouts soup with potato recipe What better way to welcome the new year than to start with a soup recipe, right? After the holiday season where we tend to go wild with all of the goodies, hello chocolates, dips, and wine. It’s always nice to have some clean eating resolutions. I get you, moreover, you probably have some Brussels spouts left from Christmas and the New year as well....
Let me show you how to make this super easy recipe in four steps. Boil, Saute, Mix and serve. I love to serve Tuna pasta with homemade garlic bread. Tuna Pasta Recipe When I was eating this canned tuna pasta, the words that kept ringing in my ears were “The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without any grief” Prov 10:22. Before you ask, I don’t know why these words came to me, but I reckon the simplicity of today’s post played a part to it How easy can easy be with tuna pasta dish....
