Vietnamese Summer Rolls with Almond Dipping Sauce. Appetizers and Snacks, Asian, Books, Giveaway, Seafood | 103 comments Congratulations Shannon and Amy J in SC! I’ve emailed you both with instructions on claiming your prize. During my friend’s visit last week, we decided one of the nights that we weren’t going to make dinner until after we put the kids to bed.

We had eaten a big lunch out and thought we could wait. Eric was out of town, so it was a fun girl’s night in sort of evening. Knowing how much my friend loves Asian food, I told her that we should pick a recipe out of The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook, a brand new cookbook written by Jaden Hair that I had just purchased. Once you get past the vegetable chopping, it’s really a very simple meal and perfect for social gatherings. The night we made them we used lettuce in the recipe as indicated, though not pictured here. Once you’ve done a few rolls it’s really not that hard at all and the taste is incredible and fresh.

Even though we’re still in the thick of summer here in L.A., I just couldn’t kick my craving for some Thai-style coconut curry. You know the kind—warm, creamy, packed with veggies, and loaded with spice.

Naturally, I caved and, blasting the air conditioning, sat down to a steaming bowl of curry and rice. I’ve tried many times to make curry at home and failed, but I finally formulated a recipe that is worthy of being shared. It’s very reminiscent of a panang curry that you would get at a Thai restaurant. This recipe makes a lot of servings, so feel free to cut the recipe in half or freeze some of the curry (like I did) for future cravings.

Enjoy! Combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, and broth in a large pot over medium heat.Stir in the curry paste, ginger, garlic, and onion. Makes 12 servings.

Sriracha Garlic Wings. It's hard to get enough of chicken wings, especially in the summer, and especially when there's some major sporting event on. For as long as I can remember I've followed the Olympics religiously. Swimming, track, gymnastics, tennis, diving, you name it. I'll follow prelims as well as finals and ooh and aah over all the heartwarming background stories of athletes I had never heard of two weeks prior.

(And being in Beijing for the 2008 games, in the center of all the action, was such a fun experience!) This time around I'm watching everything from my couch in Brooklyn. And for watching any kind of sports action from your couch, spicy chicken wings is practically a must-have. It's an easy and filling appetizer or, depending on portion size, full on-dinner. These Sriracha garlic wings can be made with common pantry ingredients. And I recommend having some good beer on hand to wash these wings down. Seared Ahi Tuna Steaks Recipe. Kung Pao Chicken « Trissalicious. Kung Pao Chicken September 6, 2012 by trissalicious Kung Pao Chicken A few weeks ago, my sister and I attended the 40th anniversary of our parish priests Father Joe and Father John. Both had been priests for 40 years and the community wanted celebrate this significant event with a special dinner.

The gentleman walked slowly to the podium and started talking about each of them. It made me realize that there was very little I knew of both of them. At the end of his speech, this gentleman asked us to reflect on the fact that whilst both priests had devoted their lives to serving the church and the community, no one was really there to take care of them. I immediately put a note on my calendar to invite them over for dinner one day. The thing is, prior to that speech, I had been seeing Father Joe every morning at the park where I walked my dog. One day, I passed Father Joe as he was stretching before his walk, and, as I had done for a number of years, said “Hi Father Joe!” “Yes Father!” “Me?” Black Pepper-Garlic Chicken.

Homemade Pork Buns! & I made that! Dear Pork, We meet again. This time things got intense. As per usual I was dabbling in vegetarianism, reading books like “Animal Factory” and “Eating Animals” and having thoughts like “I just can’t keep eating meat”.

Then I bought a groupon for Barnes and Noble. Dammit, I blame it on them. I was perusing the shelves, looking for just the right present to myself (I’ve imposed a cookbook moratorium on myself so this was a big day). First I marinated you in a magical sauce with all kinds of delicousness: five spice powder, hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce and much more. Then I laid you on a rack to go in the oven. And roasted you until you were all glossy and charred and happy looking.

From there I took it a step further. While you waited patiently, I made a dough, a dough not too different from my favorite hamburger bun dough. And then I encased you in that dough, giggling with every pleat. You made adorable dumplings. I let your dough rise until soft, and then I roasted you again. 1 TBSP sugar.

Aromatic Asian Burgers (Abalos Style) Recipe. Homemade Black Pepper Cheez-Its. Crunching on things helps me think. And I’ve been thinking a lot lately. My brain is full of life thoughts, to-do lists and stuff…all resulting in me being spacier than normal. My brain doesn’t have space to remember where I put my car keys. There’s other more important things to have room for! But seriously, WHERE ARE MY KEYS?! I have a million dollar idea for us. Here it goes: I want to invent noise stickers and attach it to everything important.

This is genius, no?! I’m pretty sure we can make billions off of this. Since we’re technically inventors now, we’ll be thinking a lot, hence our need for stuff to crunch on. Homemade crackers are about the easiest thing ever to make. The tricky part comes with the rolling out the dough. I wanted the cheez-its to be uniform so I broke out my measuring tape. I rolled it out and then cut it a 12 x 6 rectangle. Next, I used the blunt end of a skewer to make a hole in the center of each cracker. Homemade Black Pepper Cheez-Its Preheat oven to 350°F.
