Japanese Egg Sando
Growing up, I never liked egg sandwiches. Today though, I’m a massive fan of the dish. But I require two conditions: 1. The bread has to be freshly toasted – and the thicker the better. 2. The mayo has to be Kewpie, or I’d give it a hard pass!
Smoky Avocado Cheese Dip
Here’s a dip to serve at midday, to use as a spread for your sandwich, or to have as a snack to accompany an aperitif! You’re definitely going to want to make some homemade tortilla chips to go with it (recipe below!)
Spiced Seafood & Fennel Stew
My loose interpretation of a Tunisian fish soup, Chreime. It's usually made with the day's catch, and whatever vegetables one has on hand.
Roasted Red Pepper Dip (Muhammara)
Muhammara is a dip/spread that is creamy, smokey, savoury, and slightly sweet at the same time!
Blueberry Crumble Cake
An easy 3-layer Blueberry Crumble Cake (vegan) using soy milk, some baking pantry staples, and frozen blueberries. Great for those new to baking.
Takikomi Gohan
Takikomi Gohan loosely translates to 5-ingredient seasoned rice, as it is usually made with roughly 5 ‘toppings’. I made this using a salmon fillet I had in my freezer, but feel free to use whatever you have around!
Provençal Roasted Lamb
I don’t usually cook or eat large portions of meat like this and I was nervous to even try, but this turned out great (if I may say so myself!) and I’m definitely keeping this in my arsenal. This is super easy, I promise. I wouldn’t be doing it otherwise!
Date & Nut Energy Balls
These date and nut energy balls have become my new favourite snack for an afternoon pick-me-up! You only need 6 simple ingredients and they’re soo easy to make.
Curried Chickpeas
Here are some tips on what to look out for when snacking. And if you want to try making your own at home, you can check this recipe out!
Thai-Style Baked Wild Salmon
Oily fish like salmon contain a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help to maintain a healthy heart, so try to include them in your diet on a weekly basis. Here’s an easy recipe for Thai-Style Baked Wild Salmon to try out at home!
Mushroom Soup
Low-effort high-reward, creamy-without-cream mushroom soup that you’d want to keep in your arsenal of go-to recipes!
Asian Guacamole with Wanton Crisps
Get your hands on some avocados and whip up this super simple and delicious Japanese-Inspired Guacamole served with crispy gyoza skins!
Vegetarian Ramen
Dishes like ramen usually take a lot of time and effort to make, especially if you want to achieve a rich and creamy broth. Here’s a quick trick that requires no meat bones, and only 30 mins of your time. I know, I too thought it was too good to be true, especially with the amazing flavours it yielded! For the effort it takes, I’d even say it trumps traditional ramen broths.
Soba Noodle Salad with Prawns
This was a recipe created for Fairprice Finest’s ‘Finest Festival’ where they highlighted the art of Lagom, a Swedish philosophy for living a balanced life. Lagom means: Not too little. Not too much. Just right.
Herbal Ochazuke
This bowl of Ochazuke definitely goes up there on the list of my comfort favourites along with dishes like Teochew porridge and Pao Fan. I must really like something about softened, watered down rice…
Tropical Zest Mocktail
What better thirst quencher than coconut water, and what better way to flavour it than with some of our best local herbs. I paired it with Pukka’s Mint Matcha Green for the cooling effect from the spearmint, which I find is also a great decongestant.
Lychee Mint Cooler
Pukka has just launched their new green tea range that uses matcha grown in Jeju-Do, a World Heritage Site in South Korea. I’ve created some recipes with the delicious range, and here is one using the Mint Matcha Green.
Cashew Cream Breakfast Bowl
If you’re into cold western-style breakfasts but don’t stomach dairy very well early in the morning, this cashew cream bowl would be a great option for you.
Gratin De Crepes (Stuffed Baked Crepes)
This was one of my favourite recipes made over the Circuit Breaker (read: lockdown) period. It requires at least 1 pot, 1 pan, and 1 baking dish (which is a lot for Ms One-Pot Meal here), but the recipe is simple, and the results are incredibly rewarding – so rewarding that it justifies all the dishes you whipped out.
