Japanese Egg Sandwich
I love tamago sando. It’s so so easy to make yet so delicious and packed with flavor. I would always request my mom to make this sandwich as a kid and eating this sandwich always brings me childhood memories of nostalgia. :)
Biscotti
This was my very first attempt at making biscotti. I love these twice-baked crunchy cookies that pair so well with coffee! One of the best thing about making them yourself is that you can adjust them to your preference. Do you like a super hard crunch or instead a crispy exterior with a slightly soft center?
Hoe-deopbap
Hoe-deopbap (회덮밥) is basically the love child between bibimbap and poke. It has the homeyness of bibimbap but with the addition of raw fish! It’s awesome because you don’t have to cook anything over heat (besides the rice) and it is so fresh and delicious. I prefer to spell it as Hwe dup bap though. Haha.
Shiso Orange Ice Cream
I had a phase where I loved to make different flavors of ice cream. I struggled a lot, encountering ice creams that were too icy or flavor combos that were unpalatable. One flavor combo that I randomly made and fell in love with is this one. Shiso and orange. It’s so good! If you like mint ice cream and citrus, you should definitely give this one a try. :)
Raspberry Cake
I baked my own birthday cake for my birthday… haha. I made this exact same cake for another friend’s birthday a month ago and decided to make a video on it. It is SO. MUCH. WORK. But thankfully, my friends and family said they liked the taste of the cake. Hopefully, they weren’t being nice just because it was my birthday haha.
Greek Salad
I had a phase where I made this salad every week. I am in love with acidity in food and so this salad with red wine vinegar and pepperoncinis just hits the spot for me. You can also add cucumbers and tomatoes as well!
Belgian Waffles
Pancakes or Waffles? Though I love both, I have to choose waffles! Those pockets were made just for syrup! Waffles also have a nice delicate soft interior with a contrast of a crunchy exterior. What I especially love about waffles is the fact that you can freeze any leftovers so that you can have waffles anytime! I love Belgian waffles because they’re thicker than usual waffles which accentuates the juxtaposition between soft and crispy.
Roasted Broccolini
I love this dish because it’s quick and easy to make yet so delicious. I referenced Alison Roman’s Roasted Broccolini and Lemon with Parmesan recipe but don’t really follow the amount exactly. The parmesan melts and creates a nice crispy layer while the lemon brightens up the dish all highlighting the flavor of the broccolini.
Compost Cookies
I first had a compost cookie when I visited my cousins in New York and they introduced me to Milk Bar. I was surprised. Chips and pretzels in a cookie? But I loved it. The salty crunch adds such a depth to the sweetness of a cookie. It was a flavor profile that, at that time, I was unaware of. These cookies, also known as kitchen sink cookies, are one of my favorites (and also my mom’s!).
Brussels Sprouts Slaw
I came up with this recipe when I was thinking about what to bring to a potluck. I love honey mustard, acidity, creamy and Brussels sprouts, so I settled onto this Brussels sprouts slaw! This slaw is best enjoyed the day after it is made.
