Sunny Sauer-Cabbage

Posted by Kitty Z  

This started out as leftovers, but looked so pretty cooking up, and tasted so nice, that I had to post it here. The ribboned carrot turns plain old cabbage beautifully golden, hence the "Sunny" part of the recipe. Sauerkraut gives this... MORE»

P'at Lassi (Indo-Korean Yogurt Drink)

Posted by Kitty Z  

P'at is the Korean name for the azuki bean, the source of the "sweet red bean paste" often used in Asian desserts. They have a delicious rich flavor which I find matches well with the creaminess of an Indian-style lassi. You should be... MORE»

Another Singaporean pickle recipe from the "Nonya Favourites" cookbook; these are a delicious twist on dill pickles. They're spicy in the sense of being spiced; if you like more heat, add more chili powder. I have also successfully... MORE»

A different twist on the chocolate granita, this one uses milk, giving it a bit of an ice-cream-like taste. Sixty grams of sugar gives a nice dark chocolate flavor, if you're looking for more of a true "milk chocolate," you may want to... MORE»

Something a little different for your tuna salad, since my mom sent me a jar of cranberry horseradish recently, and now I can't stop eating it! It's good on everything, including tuna salad. If you can't find it, this recipe for Recipe... MORE»

Bittersweet Chocolate Granita

Posted by Kitty Z  

I've been looking for chocolate granita recipes; this is one I found on Oprah.com. It's not too rich, as the flavor is pretty much all from your cocoa powder (so it'd be worthwhile to use a good brand here). But it is very simple to put... MORE»

Thursday Night Tofu Tacos

Posted by Kitty Z  

I like to make tofu tacos every once in a while, just for variety (plus it's a lot cheaper than beef!). I usually make them a bit differently every time; this recipe is a combination of three other veg taco recipes, and I think it came out rather... MORE»

Mini-Applesauce

Posted by Kitty Z  

I made up this recipe when I had apples that were about to go bad, but not enough to make applesauce the usual way. Because the apples are steamed, not boiled, you can reduce this down to even one apple with no problems. MORE»

Spicy Pineapple Pickle (Acar Nenas)

Posted by Kitty Z  

This looked too interesting to pass up! It's not too pickly, with just a tablespoon of vinegar, but deliciously sweet and spicy. From a cookbook, "Nonya Favourites," which I picked up in Singapore. The book suggests serving this with... MORE»

Posted by Kitty Z  

Koreans are encouraged to mix whole grains with their rice, both for the health benefits and to encourage farmers to grow crops other than rice. Generally one or two grains are added, but this is a great mix of nine grains & pulses. Usually... MORE»

Better Chai from a Chai Tea Bag

(10 reviews) Posted by Kitty Z  

The directions on my chai tea bags say, "steep 3-5 minutes, then add milk." The result is not very good; it's watery and not spicy at all. This recipe is my "rescue" for chai tea bags. It's not exactly chai like you get in... MORE»

Blue Pineapple Fried Rice

Posted by Kitty Z  

This started out as a humble leftover stir-fry, but has taken on a life of its own. If you don't like blue food, replace the red cabbage with a vegetable of your choice. Serves 4 as a side dish, or two for dinner with fried egg on the side. MORE»

Mrs. Ewing's Creamy Cocoa

(1 reviews) Posted by Kitty Z  

From "Chocolate and Cocoa Recipes," circa 1908. Several of the cocoa recipes in this book use this method of half milk and half water, thickened with flour. I tested this one, and it is creamy, though definitely different from all-milk... MORE»

Toasted Oatmeal

Chicken, Corn, and Couscous Salad

(1 reviews) Posted by Kitty Z  

I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's magazine; originally it did not include the chicken but I wanted to add something so it could be a meal by itself. If you'd rather not have the chicken just use another 1/4 cup couscous and another 1 cup... MORE»

Irish Steamed Chocolate Pudding

(1 reviews) Posted by Kitty Z  

I don't know how Irish it is, but I was told it was when I got the recipe, and it is delicious (and much more impressive then green sugar cookies). Don't be intimidated by the old-fashioned two-hour steaming, it's not difficult, just sounds so. MORE»
