I only started using shallots since November of this year. To me, they look like red onions in garlic form. Mo sent me an article a few days ago about ten things every cook should do in his/her kitchen and using shallots, lots and lots of shallots was one of the ten things.
Are shallots special [...]

Ok, I’m a little bit sick of pasta. I will continue my pasta cravings tomorrow or Sunday. I’ve been looking for a recipe for my leftover corn meal from the polenta pizza I made on 2/23/09. And what do I love to eat? Shrimp!
It’s kind of ugly but your taste buds will be blown away!! [...]

2 TB olive oil
1 TB butter
Half a medium onion, diced
5-6 [...]

Soondubu Jjigae
This is my third attempt at making soondubu jjigae and I am satisfied with it. The first two times, I made the spicy level to “suicidal nuclear explosion” which made it almost impossible to eat. This time I made it mild and I finally used the dried kelp I brought over from Hong Kong. I [...]

Hawaiian-Style Kalbi Ribs
I LOVE eating baby back ribs. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I usually make them Chinese-style in two ways; one with dark + light soy sauce, and the other with Chinese vinegar (black) + brown sugar.
This is a sweeter adaptation of the Korean-style ribs. This way of cooking keeps the ribs moist so it’s not going [...]

Cantonese-styled Steamed Fish
清蒸魚
The Cantonese way of steaming fish is one of my favorite dishes in Chinese cuisine. The taste is light and clean. In Hong Kong, steaming is only done on live fish but since I live in the middle of Texas and there are no live fish (that I find acceptable), I buy the following to [...]

Mezze Penne alla Arrabiata
It’s been awhile since I’ve had homecooked pasta so I made my arrabiata sauce again, adding mushrooms, spinach, and minced pork. I love using Thai basil so I substituted that for the regular sweet basil. I ran out of red wine (not even 0.25 cups) so I used white wine for the remaining 0.75 cups.
[100% [...]

Capellini alla Arrabiata
One of my favorite pasta sauces is arrabiata. It has an intense taste, with a touch of spiciness, and I think it works perfectly for any long pasta. The first time I noticed that I was eating arrabiata was at Enoteca Vespaio, one of my favorite places to eat in Austin.

My arrabiata includes:
portobello mushrooms
baby spinach [...]
