I always think that salmon dishes are elegant and beautiful. I also think that salmon and orange are a good match! One of the first meals that my husband cooked when we were newly weds was salmon with orange cream sauce. It was delicious! I keep telling him that he must make it again but [...]

Raspberry Almond Parfait

As some of you might already know, my family loves Costco. We love shopping there for fresh fish and vegetables. We also love it when they sample delicious food and new products. One of new products that we tried out there recently was “Fage” Greek yogurt. It was creamier and less sour than most yogurt. [...]

Spicy Yakisoba with Chicken

Do you like noodle dishes? I do. Maybe a little too much. If I was forced to choose eat only one kind of food for the rest of my life, I think I’d choose noodles. Really, any kind of noodles. Rice noodles, chow fun noodles, udon noodles, Korean ramen noodles, I can’t even list all [...]

Post image for Sweet and Sour Grilled Scallops w/ Bean Sprouts {Healthy Option}

I am a big fan of sweet and sour everything. However, I don’t make so much of it because my husband is not a huge fan of vinegary sweet and sour sauce. This recipe calls for rice vinegar wine which is a lot less stronger than regular vinegar. It is also less pungent.

Post image for Fresh Spinach, Orzo and Chicken Soup

I. love. orzo. I had never tried orzo until a couple of years ago when I found a wonderful parmesan orzo recipe (I should make it soon so I can share it here). Orzo looks like rice but it’s not. It’s actually a kind of pasta noodles. It’s little so it’s great in soups. This [...]

Buchimgae is probably one of my favorite Korean appetizers ever! There are so many different kinds of buchimagae in Korea, made with different types of vegetables such as zucchini, potatoes, kimchi, garlic chives, etc, or seafood such as shrimp and fish…. Today, after a long walk with my children, I was so hungry and decided [...]

Post image for {Korean} Bibimbap

Bibimbap is a widely popular Korean dish around the world. Bibimbap literally means “mixed rice”, mixed with lots of vegetables such as spinach, bean sprouts, zucchini, turnip kimchi, and gosari (I have no idea what it’s called in English). Sometimes they also add some bulgogi (Korean barbequed beef) too, which is probably my favorite kind. [...]
