The first time I tried Burdock Root or Gobo (牛蒡) was a salad in a Japanese restaurant in Taiwan. The Gobo was sliced so razor-thin and fine (thinner than matchsticks!) and the salad was really refreshing good as appetizer.

Kimchi noodles is supposed to be noodle soup in my understanding. I may be wrong, so you tell me. But in a way, does it really matter? The dry-version can be really interesting as well. Imagine. It is like having bibimbap but replacing the rice with cooked noodles, then the noodles tossed in a kimch (Read more...)

Udon Noodles Soup with Chili Sauce

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013

This post is a reprint of a post by tigerfish that originally appeared at Teczcape-An Escape to Food.

It is kinda funny (and strange) whenever I see Dad and Mom squirts chili sauce from the bottle (be it SIN SIN or MAGGI brands) to their rice noodle soup.

One time, we asked -"why spoil the natural light-tasting homemade broth?" Well, of course, if the soup broth was made from homemade stock, avoid (Read more...)

And you know what? I will cook this soup again when stir-fried Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli) gets boring once in a while. Truth is: the same stir-fried Gai Lan can't be posted repeatedly in (Read more...)

Never be stingy on tomatoes, here I said.

An aura of insecurity fills the the kitchen one day....

Not a single tomato at home!

Mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses packed with vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting antioxidants.


Ever since I made this clear mushroom soup, I wanted to make it again. Better still, make it a regular regime.
