Thai Basil Pesto

Posted by jdubs on November 17, 2013 · Leave a Comment 

When life gives me Thai Basil… apparently I make pesto. I recently moved to a cozy neighborhood in Singapore that boasts a fantastic wet market.  I go there every weekend to stock up on local produce, meats and fresh flowers to adorn my apartment.  Most of the produce and meats come from Indonesia or Malaysia, … Continue reading →

Miso Soup

Posted by gooseva on September 23, 2012 · 1 Comment 

Miso soup is probably one of my favorite little dishes ever. It’s my go-to during a hangover, when I don’t feel so well, or when I just want something warm and savory.

I researched various recipes, trying to minimize the unhealthiness of the dish. I came across this one, which was essentially just baking with spices, and decided … Continue reading →

Easy Asian Bake Salmon

Posted by jdubs on June 4, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

Salmon is so easy to prepare, and even the simplest of ingredients can bring out so much flavor.  Usually my roommate and I will just take a salmon fillet, season it with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and cover in bread crumbs and then pan fry it on a skillet.  So quick and easy!  However, we … Continue reading →
