Thai Toasted Rice Powder
If you have ever had any good Thai dish such as larb, or nam tok, you will notice, well if you are looking closely enough at the, that it uses a rice powder. Believe it or not but the Thai toasted rice powder is an essential ingredient in a handful of Thai recipes, and it […]
Mexican Picadillo
It was not too long ago when I started to think of a vacation we took years ago to South Carolina. It was a great family trip, and even cousins from the west coast decided to join us as well. Let me just say we had a great time, especially at dinner time when everyone […]
Cinco de Mayo Recipes
If you are looking for something to make to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, here are some wonderful, and easy recipes. Click for the recipe, or you can find my collection of Mexican recipes at http://www.simplecomfortfood.com/category/mexican/. ¡Viva, Cinco de Mayo! …
Asian Style Hard Boiled Eggs
A few years back, I decided to give pickled beet eggs another opportunity. When growing up, I recall my parents, and relatives going nuts about how good they were. While I went through the process of cooking them and then letting them take a nice, long bath in the beet juice, I was looking forward to […]
Peruvian Chicken
I work in an open office space with four of my colleagues. I consider ourselves to be a very tight team, and we know each other pretty well, meaning we share stories of growing up, and funny stories about our kids, among other things. Those other things often revolve around technology and food. As we […]
Roasted Squash Risotto
Risotto is one of those dishes that is not only sexy, but is also comforting. It is a dish that once you have had a good plate of it at a restaurant that you will want to create on your own, and you can. In the past, I have made mushroom risotto which was really delicious, […]
Rice Stuffed Meatballs
I am a guy that does not plan his meals during the week. I think the only time that might occur is on a Sunday, and only then do I think of using what I cook on Sunday as lunch leftovers for the upcoming work week. As example, this past week I had a hankering […]
Arroz Caldo
Arroz caldo. Now that’s a funky name isn’t it? If you know any Spanish, then you would know this as rice soup. As I asked my wife, “did you guys grow up eating arroz caldo?”, she seemed confused and never heard of it. I said “C’mon, you’re Filipino and never heard of arroz caldo, you […]
Spam Fried Rice
Some time ago I decided to come up with a recipe known as the Spam burger. To say the least, it was amazing, and it was my first real attempt at having Spam. Yes, I am now 40 and have never had Spam prior to that burger. Say what you will. There was something truly […]
Sticky Rice Recipe
If you have ever walked into an Asian grocery store, the first thing you probably notice is the mounds and mounds of bags of rice, typically located near the entrance. They offer a variety of rice, and one of my favorites is the jasmine rice. We eat rice about once or twice a week at […]
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. […]
Preserved Lemons
I have been on a real citrus kick lately. Maybe it is the season, but I have been going through a lot of lemons and limes. For the last couple of weeks I have been juicing close to nearly 40 limes, only to pour a bit of the juice into smoothies or weekend cocktails. The […]
Paella
It was not long ago when I purchased my first paella pan. It was one of those purchases I was truly excited about. See, I had a plan, as usual, with that pan. When it arrived at the house, my wife had said something like ‘what the heck is that?’, and my response with my […]
Beef Massaman Curry
Approximately once a month, if not more, my wife and I get a real craving for a curry and coconut mixture, typically with a bit of chicken, peas, and other vegetables that is served over rice. It is a dish, especially this time of year, that is extremely comforting. Some of my favorite Thai curry […]
Thai Peppered Beef
I know I should probably be posting Christmas and holiday recipes right now, but I am not. Instead, I am posting about beef, and Thai beef to be more clear. I have no idea why I came up with this recipe, but I am pretty certain that I wanted something a bit salty, and something […]
Caldo de Pollo (Mexican Chicken Soup)
As many of you are probably already aware, I love Mexican food. Heck, I like most all ethnic food that I have ever tried, but Mexican cuisine, and well, Thai, really stand out for me. There is something to be said of its simplicity while at the same time having a very complex flavor. Take […]
Kimchi Fried Rice
My wife is very lucky to have me. Hehe, just kidding. I do the food shopping in the house, and every other day I am at the store. I often reflect back to when I remember my dad going to the store, almost every night for a small basket of food items. Now I know. […]
Pork Ribs with Salsa Verde
Let me begin by saying this dish is actually called ‘Costillitas de puerco con salsa verde’. I say this only because I first encountered this at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Milwaukee, El Rey. See, normally when I frequent El Rey, I typically order the same thing; a horchata with 2-3 tacos al […]
Middle Eastern Hot Sauce – Shatta
I know that I have posted that my coworkers and I literally start a conversation on the topic of food, around 9:45 every morning, almost every day. No lie. As busy as we are and as many requests that we service every morning and afternoon, it is really nice to discuss something that everyone enjoys, […]
Smoked Pheasant Breast
That’s right, I said it, smoked pheasant breast. Pheasant is something you do not normally see when you go grocery shopping, however, I was lucky enough to be provided one from a hunter, a hunter I have yet to meet. They call him “Boot”, and as he has been following my site for some time, […]
Thai Omelette
I believe the first thing I learned to make in the kitchen was probably eggs. My parents worked the first shift while growing up, and my brother and I were on our own in the morning. Reflecting back on it, I think that by waking up, getting ready for school, and walking less than two […]
Chicken Biryani
The flavors of Indian food, in my opinion are so addicting. I use the term Indian very loosely in this recipe as many countries have their own version of what is called biryani. Biryani in its basic state is simply a dish containing meat, fish, or vegetables and rice that is flavored with some really […]
Filipino Giniling
I love hearing my wife tell stories of how she grew up, in particular some of the Filipino food items that they would eat. My wife is part Filipino, and since being married to her, I have become very interested in Filipino cuisine. I will admit, you simply do not see a whole lot of […]
Mexican Rice
I frequent my local taqueria (taco shop) about once a week and I am always amazed of what the locals are eating. I am really uncertain as to what they are eating, but most of the locals are ordering from in front of the glass, and not from the menu. The items behind the glass […]
Albondigas Soup – Mexican Meatball Soup
Soup season has started once again in my household. It is early fall, and the falling of leaves from the trees typically indicates that it is time to hunker down with a nice bowl of comforting soup. It was this past weekend where I was going to make chili for my wife. She loves chili, […]
