Hong Kong Fried Noodles
If you have never had Hong Kong fried noodles before, well then, good. I only say that because you are going to love this recipe. The Hong Kong fried noodles are essentially a crispy fried noodle that when coated with an awesome stir fry and gravy, they get slightly softened and are perfectly balanced with […]
Spicy Garlic Noodles
The other day I had this vision of slurping noodles. I have no idea why. I was probably hungry, and as my oldest has been devouring ramen noodles lately, noodle slurping was just on my mind. This was around ten in the morning mind you. So when I got home I looked around and noticed […]
Char Siu Banh Mi
You might not be familiar with the title of this post and you are probably thinking ‘what the hell?’. Don’t worry, that’s why I am here. It basically translates to ‘awesome sandwich’, or better yet ]Chinese barbecue pork tucked into everything amazing with a Vietnamese sandwich. I wanted to make this sandwich for a couple […]
Spicy Chinese Chicken
My wife and I are big fans of stir fry meals, and I would image that probably many of you are as well. I think the beauty of the stir fry is that not only are they diverse, but heck, you get to use a great wok over high heat, right? Some of my favorite […]
Pizza Nachos
I am a big fan, well, I think my entire family is, of nachos. It’s one of those meals, yes, I said meals, that is easy to throw together and everyone can build their own. We probably have nacho night once every couple of weeks, and it is one of those meals where the kids […]
Dan Dan Noodles
I am a big fan of Asian cuisine. Whether it be Thai, Chinese, or Vietnamese, just count me in. There are plenty of dishes that I could rattle off that I simply love, but there is one dish that I love that is consists of noodles, minced meat, a bit of gravy, and fresh herbs. […]
Chinese Pork Chow Fun
I shop at my local Asian market about once a month. It’s a small store with only a few aisles, but it pretty much has all of my staples, whether they be pancit bihon, sauces or chili pastes, fermented shrimp, bao, lemongrass, or something other. Upon my recent visit, I decided to browse where a […]
Yu Choy
I know, I know. Yu Choy, I choy, Bok choy. Seriously though, yu choy. It’s new to me, and I love it. A couple of weeks ago I rode my bike to the local farmer’s market here in town. It is something I love to do most every Saturday morning while the market is running. […]
Shrimp Rangoon
Many of you have probably had crab rangoon at your local American Chinese restaurant. I place and emphasis on the word American as many Chinese restaurants probably would never include these on their menu. However, us Americans found comfort when we did see them on a menu, and have frequently ordered them upon most any […]
Shrimp Rangoon Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I’ve probably told this story a time or two, but when I moved back to Milwaukee, one of the first restaurants my wife and I ate at, only taking a moment to open the door to our new apartment, was a Chinese/American restaurant on the east side of Milwaukee. The restaurant was slow on that […]
Wonton Soup
A couple of years ago while traveling the east coast, one of our cousins was nice enough to ask my son if he wanted to travel to New York City with him to tour Yankee Stadium. It was a no brainer for my kid, who at the time was only seven years old. I don’t […]
Crispy Pork Belly
It was not too long ago when a new Asian market opened up a few miles from our house, and as always, I was pretty darn excited. Granted the distance was the same to this new store as it would have been to any other Asian market in town, but this one was special. This […]
Chinese Pea Shoots
If there is one thing I love while eating at a Chinese restaurant, it has got to be stir fried pea shoots. It is not very often that you see them on a standard, Chinese menu either. I believe I first encountered pea shoots while eating dim sum, many years ago, and as I wanted […]
Chinese Beef and Broccoli
Recently we have had several conversations around good Chinese food in the Milwaukee area. To be quiet honest, there is not much out there in terms of really great Chinese food. Often times I think Chinese food means a lot of different things to every person. For example, my idea of great Chinese food typically […]
Super Bowl Party
It’s that time of year. The annual celebration to see who is the best in the National Football League. The Super Bowl. New Orleans Saints versus Indiana Colts. As I am a Green Bay Packer fan, I am not really too concerned who will win this game, however I am concerned how happy it makes […]
Bok Choy and Stir Fry Sauce
Roughly three weeks or so ago, a new Asian market opened up near my neighborhood. I cannot tell you thrilled I was to know that I actually could cut my commute in half when I needed a special Asian ingredient. The location of this store is in Greenfield, Wisconsin, near the intersection of Highway 100 […]
Chinese Salt and Pepper Pork
For some reason, I have really been craving great Chinese food. I keep thinking about the sauces, flavors, and diversity in most Chinese dishes. Whether they are simple greens cooked in garlic and oyster sauce, noodles, or meat dishes, I cannot get the thought out of my mind. So I had to do something about […]
Shrimp and Pineapple Fried Rice
Recently I made my rounds to my two local favorite ethnic grocery stores in the area; El Rey and Lanxiang. I go to these establishments nearly once a week to pick up some really common ingredients that the local food marts charge you an arm and a leg for. Examples being limes, shallots, avocados, and […]
Char Siu or as I know it as “Pink Pork”
Even before starting my job at the Law School, I would frequent a Chinese restaurant on campus known as China Garden. As generic as the name sounds, and as most Chinese buffet restaurants sound, China Garden was actually pretty good. For under seven dollars, you had your choice of the common items like egg drop […]
Pancit Canton
My surrounding family consists of primarily Filipino decent. Many of my dishes are stemmed from flavors of their dishes, and much of their food is really good, especially the snack-like items like lumpia, and pancit bihon, and sisig, only to name a few. I am always trying to extract stories and other information from family […]
Kung Pao Chicken
If you know me, I love hot and spicy food. I just love it. I love the flavors of chilies, and the results of those flavors on my pallet. I have been thinking of the usual go to Thai dishes lately, however I wanted something different, however Asian inspired. I immediately scanned some of my […]
Won Ton Soup
We all love this soup. It is one of those go to dishes in most Chinese restaurants. Typically served in a large plastic container from your local take-out, this soup is really comforting. Sure, my family gets take out from time to time, but not that often. If we do order Chinese, we order from […]
Barbecue Pork
Let me know your thoughts on this recipe. I love meat on a stick, I truly do. I think it is one of those foods that when you have it, that you love the experience of eating meat off of the stick, or one that you want to go back for more. Well, this is […]
Cantonese Pork Ribs
I will admit that my wife’s cousins make some really great Asian inspired pork ribs. As I scanned my refrigerator and freezer for ideas, I immediately saw a slab of pork ribs. I don’t know about you, but when I see something like a rack of ribs, chicken breasts, or event a head of broccoli, […]
Spicy Garlic Chicken
This garlic chicken recipe is really simple to make, and after you try it, you might think to yourself, why is it garlic chicken, when it only calls for a a tablespoon of chopped garlic? Now as you think of that, you will also be thinking of how wonderful the texture and flavors are in […]
