Century Egg Porridge (皮蛋粥)

Making porridge, especially this Century Egg Porridge (皮蛋粥), is a quite simple and easy process despite it’s sophisticated appearance. The key is to have the perfect ratio of rice and water. The ratio depends on your preference. I like to have porridge on a thicker side, so my ratio of 1:6 (1 cup of rice to

Italian Sausage Penne Pasta

This time, I am sharing Italian sausage penne pasta recipe since I am craving for another pasta meal again.

Pan-fried Salmon Lemon Garlic

After my previous post about the super green recipe, Stir-fry Kale with Chicken, now it’s about Salmon recipe (Pan-fried Salmon Lemon Garlic), another super high protein food. Salmon contains very high protein with its high Omega-3 fatty acid and high Vitamin D content. With that, I think it is a very good idea to have

Galbi (갈비Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs)

How I craved for BBQ now… who wouldn’t – with all those advertisements on TV or grocery store inserts on the mail, marketing their food items for the upcoming Memorial Day. Well, I am usually not easy to be ‘swayed’ by marketing ads, BUT still, it is tempting to see all those images emphasizing mostly
