Savory Oatmeal with Crouching Tiger Spicy Tofu

chow — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 06:42:13 +0000

Today, I guinea-pigged for you my hare-brained idea of Chinese food leftovers as a topping for savory oatmeal. I will now be eating all of my leftovers like this. It’s tasty, quick and so simple and easy. Enjoy your favorite Chinese food the day before, something with a flavorful sauce. Either dine-in, take-out or homemade. [...]

Savory Oatmeal

With the end of fresh summer fruits, I’ve been wondering what to put on top of my oatmeal. I can’t eat it plain. I had heard about savory oatmeal being similar to jook (also known as congee or rice porridge), and with cooler weather finally setting in, it’s time to give it a whirl. But [...]

Vegan Chocolate Muffin From Pamplemousse

chow — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 02:11:56 +0000

Vegan Chocolate Muffin, from Pamplemousse Pâtisserie et Café in downtown Redwood City. As their one and only vegan pastry item, it might as well be a chocolate muffin. Nice chocolate flavor but it didn’t seem quite like a muffin. It was more like eating a little chocolate cake. Not that I’m complaining or anything. But [...]

Sunny Side Up Tofu “Egg”

chow — Mon, 30 May 2011 03:06:47 +0000

For breakfast today, I made a vegan version of a sunny side up “egg”. I stumbled upon this method of cooking tofu quite by accident. Too lazy to properly steam silken tofu for dinner one night, I instead just microwaved it on top of rice. It came out looking kinda like fried egg whites to [...]

Homemade Vegan English Muffins

A few days ago, I got to scarfed down homemade vegan English muffins. They were so fluffy and tender! Of course I didn’t make them, that would be like some sort of crazy baking miracle. Although, technically they aren’t baked. They’re cooked in a skillet. My sister made a batch of regular English muffins for [...]

Sweet Potato Hash From The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook

chow — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 03:48:30 +0000

After pigging out on donuts, I’m getting back on track with The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook by Dr. Neal Barnard and Robyn Webb. It’s the latest cookbook I’ve received for review from the publisher. The first part of the book covers how a plant-based diet can improve your health and the science behind it. [...]

Leek and Mushroom Quiche

chow — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:51:57 +0000

After my fun-filled trip to the French bistro Bouchon, I feel like a quiche. I couldn’t have their quiche but I sure can make one myself. It’s actually a fairly easy recipe. For one thing, I used a pre-made crust. Because let’s face it, I’m not a baker. I can’t bake to save my life. [...]
