Yet another Mrs Sambar recipe. I did do the grilling but I’ve been told that does not count for recipe credit. I may express my feelings through interpretive dance. Well, onwards and upwards, to the recipe! Recipe : 1/4 sweet onion 1 in ginger 1 tbsp minced garlic 1 cup Flat Leaf Parsley bunch stems…
Grilled Mediterranean Veggies
| This is a Mrs Sambar recipe. It’s simple but it tastes amazing. It was a collaboration because I stoked the grill. That is pretty much all I did, but hey, I can take credit for some things. Recipe : 2 Tbsp Zataar (available at most middle eastern stores) 3-4 Tbsp Olive Oil 1 Tbsp Garlic…
GyuDon – Aaron & Claire’s version
| So I saw GyuDon that Aaron (A-A-Ron) posted, and it sounded amazing. We did end up changing the proportion a bit, so here I record that, but giving full credit to Aaron & Claire. This is definitely their recipe. Also the onsen egg was interesting but not a huge success. Next time I think I’ll…
Salted Fish Kailan/Gai Lan
| Salted Fish Kailan (or Gai Lan depending on the romanization) is one of our all time favorite dishes from our time in Malaysia. I’ve tried over the years to recreate the salted fish kailan we used to order, but I’ve run into every kind of trouble from not being able to find good salted fish…
Counting the joy in every battle
| Today, we went to church, in person for the first time in a long time. We shared communion. Albeit masked and socially distant, it was a great moment to see old friends and enjoy a sense of community again. Speaking to friends today, I was joking around, that I feel a bit like Job because…
Instant Pot Japanese Curry (Beef)
| We love Japanese Curry. Golden Curry, Vermont Curry, Java Curry, it’s all good. We don’t hate, we appreciate. I thought its worth document this basic recipe. The previous one for using the cajun trinity is a bit overwrought. Keep it simple. Key considerations : Thinly sliced beef (VERY THINLY SLICED) – this can be procured…
Basic Bacon, Low and Slow
| Recently, I’ve come to realize that even the simple things matter. Don’t neglect the little things, they make a big difference. Bacon is one of those things. I’ve tried a lot of ways to make bacon – in the microwave, on the stove (hot and fast), in the oven, in the toaster oven. Of all…
Sautéed Asian Inspired Purple Cabbage

Sourdough Oat Pancakes!
| Yes, thats an exclamation, we were surprised it turned out as good as it did. The thought of adding oats to pancakes came about because of a recent edict from the pediatrician. We were asked to add more fiber to the kids diet (without making the non parents squeamish, lets just say it was to…
Instant Pot Japanese Chicken Curry with Cajun Holy Trinity
| We tried an experiment to make Japanese Curry in the Instant pot with the Cajun Holy Trinity (Celery, Onion, Bell Pepper), and it came out excellent. Using the instant pot cuts down on the simmering time, and using chicken to makes ever so slightly less unhealthy.
