There is a super famous Galbi Jjim restaurant near me and the line is usually 3+ hours.. Now during quarantine, I miss their food and decided to make Galbi Jjim! Since this was my first time making Galbi Jjim, and my housemates all love this dish from the nearby restaurant, I was under great expectation from them to cook it YUMMY. Didn’t want to mess up, I followed Chef Paik’s recipe (linked below) STRICTLY using a scale to measure sauce ingredients by grams 🙂 Result turned out awesomely tasty!

Red Chili Oil is frequently used in many, many Chinese cuisines, especially Szechuan food such as mouth-watering chili chicken 口水鷄, handmade noodle 手杆肉燥面, Chili dumplings 紅油抄手, cucumber salad 涼拌拍黃瓜. It is not hard to make at home either!

Trying to find a way to consume self-rising flour, I decided to conduct a food experiment on using self-rising flour and all-purpose flour with the exact same ingredients, under 2 different overnight rising conditions: room temperature vs fridge. These 2 variables (flour and rising condition) gave me 4 different pizza dough with 4 different texture. Sharing my food experiment process, results, observation here! Also attached the pizza toppings I used 🙂 Enjoy!

First time my roommate BAKED potato fries for me, I was dumbfounded… The potato fries that is universally liked but considered somehow unhealthy…can be baked instead of deep fried?! Previously I have a few failed trials on baking fries, this time I finally succeeded and would like to share my failure and my success through this simple, easy recipe.

Cantonese, most of us, LOVE SEAFOOD. When cooking seafood, we usually preserve the original flavors and use as little spice, add-on ingredients as possible. Even just steam shrimp/prawn without any ingredients, than dip in soy sauce, garlic sauce, pepper sauce will make an awesome, common dish in restaurants and at home. Today I am sharing steam garlic shrimp that goes a little bit extra, a bit prettier~

Made garlic naan for two reasons: I need to get rid of self-rising flour :p I am making chicken tikka masala for dinner, so might as well try this to go with that! No yeast? Use self rising flour! No tawa or tandoor? Cast iron pan will save the day. It’s hot enough and maintain the temperature for a while; non-sticky pan temperature could fluctuate faster. Having make pasta dough with flour and egg, chinese noodle dough with flour and water, I am surprised to learn that Indian naan dough use flour and yogurt; yogurt instead of milk or egg or just water!

Continue my journey on Indian food again with chicken tikka masala, which is one of the top 3 mentioned dishes mentioned most by my friends. After watching more than 5 YouTube videos on Chicken Tikka Masala, I decided to follow Tasty’s video for ingredients and Get Curried’s video for cooking process.

Did not have too much time to cook lunch, I decided to make fry rice. But just fry rice again seemed a little bit..dull. So I decided to challenge myself to make this tornado egg to put on top of rice! I made three times ( with 4 eggs in total) today, improved little by little, still not perfect! Fry rice is inspired from poke bowl, added in mentaiko besides pea, corn, celery and sausage. Vinegar and sesame oil as final touch up.
