[Recipe] Vietnamese Affair at Home – Vegan Banh Mi

After my trip to Vietnam this summer, I had fallen in love with the banh mi! A local told me that Vietnamese can have banh mi any time throughout the day, either as breakfast, lunch, dinner or even late night snacks. Vietnamese descends makes up the majority of the Asians here, in Montreal, and I couldn't wait to try out this vegan banh mi recipe developed by a friend of mine from school, and she's a registered dietitian, so you can count on her ;)

[Recipe] Guilt-Free Banana Bread

Since school is over, now I have more time for baking, especially healthy baking. Most of the time, people associate baked goods with high fats, and sugar-loaded. I'm not a fan of it, but I still like baked goods, so I like to explore for healthy alternatives for some ingredients or just healthy recipes, in general. I'm a newbie with baking, so I'm starting off with the most basic and classic one - banana bread! It's quick and easy that I guarantee every first time baker can do it. Oh! Have I forgotten to mention that there's no butter and no refined sugar?

[Recipe] Creamy & Chewy – Mushroom Israeli Couscous Risotto

The weather is getting colder, daylight is getting shorter, meaning winter is closer! I tend to crave things that are more rich and creamy, and one of them that I would crave for during the winter is risotto. Classic risotto is often mixed with cream, cheese, and butter to create the creaminess and richness, which is also very high in calories! Moreover, Arborio rice is very starchy, and contains simple carbohydrates, which will will provide quick energy for your body, but very low in vitamins and minerals. What can we replace but still obtain the similar texture and flavor?

[Recipe] “Nut” the Ordinary Tart – Nutty No Bake Kiwi Tart

Kiwi is one of my favorite fruits, and I have to have one every single morning. I guess most of the people would think that kiwi comes from New Zealand. In fact, kiwi was originated from China, and was known as the "Chinese gooseberry"! Besides consuming it alone, kiwi is perfect for baking or cooking too!

[Recipe] Oh-so fluffy – Buckwheat Soufflé Pancake

Pancakes used to be my favorite type of breakfast when I was a kid, especially those classic buttermilk pancakes. As I'm older, I become more of a french toast person. Japan, one of my favorite countries in the world, is known for their creativity, including food. Pancakes are quite popular in Japan. Since the Americans can make "cronuts" (aka croissant + donut), why can't the Japanese put soufflé and pancake together? It maintains the versatility of pancakes, but also has the airiness of soufflé. Definitely perfect for brunch, afternoon tea, or tea.

[Recipe] Pizza for One – Pesto Ricotta Pizza

Since there was left over doughs and pesto from the Pesto Cheese Balls, we thought "why don't we make a pizza?" The dough that we used was pizza dough anyway, so it was perfect! The thought of making this pizza was definitely impromptus, but it turned out to be our favorite besides the Earl grey chocolate braid.

[Recipe] Better Than Regular Buns – Pesto Mozzarella Cheese Balls

Besides the Earl grey chocolate braid, my friend and I also made these fluffy, cheesy pesto balls as our "appetizer".

[Recipe] Easy Piecey – Earl Grey Chocolate Nuts Braid

My friend and I had been following Tasty for a while. The videos that they made for each recipe seem so simple that anyone can do it. Therefore, we decided that it is time to try it out! We chose 3 recipes that intrigued us the most, and this Chocolate Almond Braid was one of it, however, with a twist. ;)

[Recipe] Traditional Taiwanese “Bando” Dish – Mud Crab Sticky Rice (紅蟳米糕)

Mud crab sticky rice (紅蟳米糕) is a traditional, classical dish in the Southern Taiwan. It was first served during the "ban do", which is Taiwan's unique roadside banquet. Back in the old days, it is a ritual to have wedding banquets on the streets, at the side of the road. It's an original and unique part of Taiwan's culinary culture.

[Recipe] Taste of Southeast Asia – Kaya toast with Homemade Butter

Kaya toast is probably one of my favorite Southeast Asian snacks. If you have never heard of "kaya", it's pretty much like a coconut jam. It's a spread, which is made out of sugar, coconut milk, eggs, and pandan leaf, hence the green color. The word "kaya" means rich in Malay, hence represents the texture of the jam. It's creamy, smooth, and full of flavors.
