Goat Cheese and Colby Jack Sandwich with Kimchi, Spinach, and a Runny Egg

August 26, 2011 3 Comments

Guys, I just had the greatest sandwich ever for lunch — wheat toast, two kinds of melted cheese, spinach, kimchi, and a runny egg. So messy, so flavorful, so amazingly delicious. I’ve learned from reading my friend Sam’s food blog this year that a runny egg makes everything extra delicious. And, as everyone knows, kimchi…read more »

Loco Moco

Two of my college friends got married in Hawaii recently. (I know. So jealous.) Sadly, I wasn’t invited to the wedding — ahem, Sonia — but I’ve been facebook stalking the photo albums of the people who went, so it kind of feels like I was there too. Note to self: must go to Hawaii soon….read more »

Crab Rangoons

July 12, 2011 6 Comments

So last week I made crab rangoons for the first time. We were in Boston for 4th of July weekend, and one of our friends invited us over to make sushi. This, of course, meant crab rangoons were on the menu too. And crab cakes. And peach margaritas. I dunno, it made sense at the…read more »

Japanese-Style Strawberry Shortcake

July 10, 2011 13 Comments

Is it just me, or do desserts in Japanese anime/manga always look amazing? Whether it’s cake, pie or ice cream, everything is always so sparkly and elaborate, surprisingly realistic-looking, and just positively oozing with goodness. My stomach pretty much growls constantly when I’m reading food/dessert-themed manga. I’m a nerd, I know. Anyway. I’d always assumed…read more »

Hanbagu (Japanese Hamburger Steak)

June 5, 2011 Leave a Comment

So, my friend Spike and I have been having intense gchat conversations about what we can do with all the ground beef we’ve got on our hands.  We each saw family-sized packs of ground beef on sale at the grocery store a couple weeks ago and couldn’t resist getting in on the deal. Seemed like…read more »

Scallion Pancakes (Cong You Bing)

May 21, 2011 4 Comments

Any time Dan and I get Chinese delivery, we make sure to get an order of scallion pancakes and crab rangoons. They are equally delicious, but I always feel kind of bad eating (and loving) crab rangoons. I mean, they’re fake Chinese food! As a good Chinese person I feel like I should turn my…read more »

Chinese Dumplings (Jiao Zi)

March 2, 2011 1 Comment

Hey, remember when I said I was going to make jiaozi and baozi and tons of other Chinese goodies for the New Year? Well that didn’t happen. I meant to do it, I really did! But  first I had to cook for my Superbowl party, then Valentine’s Day snuck up on me, and I had…read more »

Wonton Cups with Spinach and Mushroom Ricotta Filling

February 7, 2011 1 Comment

Happy Superbowl Sunday, everyone! And…happy 1 year anniversary to my blog! To celebrate both momentous occasions, I spent the better part of the afternoon cooking: crab quesidillas, pizza dip, fresh guacamole, and…wonton cups with spinach and mushroom filling. Why wonton cups? Well, I got really into cooking-themed books last year, and these cups were mentioned…read more »

Kimchi Bokumbop (Kimchi Fried Rice)

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! All last week I had grand plans to make jiao zi (dumplings) and dou sha bao (steamed buns with red bean paste) and other Chinese goodies, but somehow I never got around to it. Fortunately, the New Year is supposed to be celebrated for 15 days, so I’ve still got…read more »

Salt and Pepper Chicken

December 23, 2010 1 Comment

Anyone who went to college in the Boston/Cambridge area has ordered from Quan’s Kitchen at least once. Generous portions of greasy Chinese food, low prices, and delivery until 1am — what more could a college kid want? Pulling an all-nighter to study for a test? Order some Quan’s to keep your energy up. Hungry after…read more »
