Thai Mixed Mushroom Salad

  Thailand has some of the most incredible food in the world. I recently traveled there with my father and had many heavenly culinary experiences. One of the more notable delicacies was – and I know it sounds strange – ‘mushroom salad’. We were visiting Hua Hin and, in typical…

Bubble Milk Tea

I’ve finally made it. A homemade version of my favourite Asian drink! Before you start your happy dance (because, yes, I admit that is exactly what I did), check your local Asian grocery stores. In New Zealand I couldn’t find bubble-tea-worthy tapioca pearls. You want the specific ones for making this drink…

Chilli & Soy Chicken with Fried Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower rice doesn’t always provide quite the fulsome bite of the real thing. However, I find that in this form – loaded with stir-fried flavour and tossed with plenty of fat and protein – you can finish your plate and feel satisfied. If you’re low-carbing, what more can you ask for?…

Thai Mushroom, Beef & Prawn Lettuce Wraps

My family recently had a guest from Thailand to stay, Pueng, who was kind enough to teach me a few of her local dishes. Of course, this is nothing close to authentic – rather, it’s Thai-inspired. Nevertheless, it’s a nice way to experience Asian food if you’re keto or just…

Ginger Slow-cooked Pork Belly

Five spice. A mere sprinkling of this Chinese blend is all you need – imho – to create a subtle flavour that permeates the meat. In my experience, people are far too liberal with five spice, and I all too often wonder if I’ll ever stop tasting cloves. Seriously, that stuff is…

Spiced Carrot & Coconut Soup

Yes, I know. Soup doesn’t exactly scream, “EAT ME!”, but let me explain. This particular one is heady with Southeast-Asian aroma, is creamy and coco-scented, with enough oomph to leave you satisfied. Of course, a bit of thickly sliced and toasted bread alongside – laden with butter, may I add…

Slow-cooked Asian Pork Stuffed Capsicums

It may seem this recipe takes a long time to complete. While this may be true, waiting around for a slow cooker to work its magic is hardly tiresome. On that note – you know your slow cooker. The pork should be cooked long enough to fall apart when pulled,…

Lime, Sesame & Soy Glazed Chicken Nibbles

This chicken is easy. I’m not going to lie – stirring together some ingredients and baking them isn’t exactly a technical masterpiece, yet the result is something truly wonderful. Bronzed and glossy chicken, flecked with chilli and spritzed with lime . . . I don’t really think you can go…

Fragrant Fish Curry

I’d like to make a shout out to my wonderful aunt and uncle, who gave me some freshly caught and filleted kahawai. When my uncle asked if I’d be making a Peranakan dish, an idea blossomed . . . Thus, this curry was born. After my amazing experience with Food…

Chilli & Soy Prawn Skewers with Oriental Salad

My lovely cousin took me out for lunch on Sunday, where I had delicious prawn skewers. Ever since, I’ve been haunted by the feeling that I should recreate something similar in my own, culturally diverse kitchen. Prawns without chillies are lifeless. You may be an avid anti-spice advocate – but,…
