Mak Kimchi

Kimchi is so cheap to make, but I always felt like it was too high effort to bother with, and I've always just bought from the store. I decided it was time for me to buckle down and give it a try. Followed Maangchi's recipe loosely.

Black Sesame Soup

This is one of my favorite variants of tong sui aka sugar water. It's super easy to make and super delicious. I mean, how could it not be? Ingredients This is enough for one generous serving or two smol servings * 15g black sesame powder * 13g glutinous rice flours

dessert

Okara Butter Cake

...aka bánh đậu nành (Thanks, Jimmy). I found a sweet recipe to use the okara leftover from when I made golden soy milk and decided to give it a try. No waste, my friends. Thanks Van's Kitchen! Ingredients * 100g flour * 5g baking powder * pinch of salt * 2 eggs

beverage

(Golden) Soy Milk

My caretaker used to make huge batches of soy milk when I was a kid, and I was so in love with it because of how fresh and warm it was. She sweetened it at the time, but in this recipe, I'm going to go for the unsweetened

beverage

Mango Lassi

A grocery store near by had a killer sale on mangoes at 3/$1, so we stocked up big time to enjoy mango lassi, mango smoothies, mangoes straight up by the spoon... This drink is super delicious and pretty substantial because of the thicccccness the yogurt provides. Ingredients * 1 mango

Chickpea Tuna Patties

The SO has made the observation that I'm really into sneaking beans into random recipes lately. We do it for the protein, fam. If you recall the Sweet Potato Tuna Patties from last year, I would say this recipe is a huge improvement over that. Forget the sweet

Freezer Breakfast Burritos

The burrito is a classic from /r/SundayMealPrep. To be honest though, the tortilla calories turn me away from burritos, but seeing them everytime I go to reddit has made me want to eat some. Along with that, my stash of frozen [black bean and chicken taquitos] (https://quantumlion.com/

Vegan Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

A video by Nikki Limo was recommended to me by YouTube, and I was intrigued. I had heard tons about black bean brownies (maybe coming in a post soon!), but I didn't know chickpea cookies were a thing. You guys know how I feel about calories and plant-based

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

This is a high effort dish, but totally worth it if you're trying to eat fewer carbs or calories or are just trying to incorporate more vegetables into your diet or switch things up. I had been doubtful that this could actually be good for a while, so

snack

Skinny Dip (very misleading name)

Aeghrur will be very familiar with this recipe since it was a popular late night college snack that accompanied many Friday/Saturday nights of homemade mead and ghetto YouTube karaoke. We may never know why it is called skinny dip when it has no relation to being naked in a

Pi Day: Chicken Pot Pie

Happy belated pi day, my friends! To celebrate the great day, my SO and I put together a modified chicken pot pie that doesn't use any cream, and I would say this one is just as good as the full-fat version. Ingredients For the filling: * 4 carrots * 5

Stuffed Peppers

Peppers have been on sale lately, and we had a some remainders of ground beef sale sitting in the freezer from a couple weeks back (10 pounds at $.99/lb!!), so I figured it was time to try out stuffed peppers. I've only ever made these while playing

Chicken + Black Bean + Corn Taquitos

My no-sick streak since middle school finally ended at the beginning of February, as I was out with fever and non-stop mucus production. During that time, I binge-watched my fair share of grocery hauls and cooking videos on YouTube, which included a few on the taquito--a cousin to the taco

Garlic Knots (aka the easiest bread ever)

To pair with the zucchini rollatini, I whipped up a batch of garlic knots from skinnytaste. I usually hate dealing with dough, but this was amazingly easy. Highly recommend. Ingredients * 1 cup flour + extra for dusting * 2 tsp baking powder * 1 cup fat free plain greek yogurt * garlic powder * salt

Zucchini Rollatini

In their Vegetable-based Lasagna recipe, aeghrur, RZ, and Jimmy reminded me that I hadn't made any baked pasta dishes since the first meal I made at my current apartment. I wanted to take it a step further. They eliminated meat...what if I eliminate pasta? Back when I

Aloo Curry

I'm sure my fellow posters can share the love for Taste of India that I have. It was one of my favorite places to eat on on campus because I loved the spices, but also because I was able to get such a ridiculous amount of food for

Cheese Garlic Biscuits

Again for friendsgiving, we also made cheese garlic biscuits because cheese alllllll the things! This recipe sadly makes a small batch of only 12 biscuits that will be gone in no time at all. Ingredients * 1 3/4 cup flour * 1/2 tsp salt * 1/2 tsp pepper * 1/2

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

On most days, part of my commute home from work includes stopping in at Trader Joe's to pick myself up with a free sample (my favorite so far has just been the simple combination of crackers and cheese, interestingly), and during the Thanksgiving season, one of the samples

Udon

It's gotten cold lately, and there are few things more warming than a nice bowl of noodle soup. The SO and I went out for pho earlier this week and had packed up the leftover soup to take home so that we could save the deliciousness for our

Muesli

Shortly after graduation, the SO and I went on a cruise together (my first!), and one of my favorite parts of the trip was all the good food. Dinner was amazing because we would always go to the fancy dining location and eats tons because the waiter always gave us

Breakfast Sandwiches ft. Homemade Biscuits

Inspired by our 10PM McDonald's date a few weeks ago, where the person sitting at the table next to us was devouring a few McMuffins, I woke up this morning with the mission to create breakfast sandwiches. Ingredients * 1.5 cup flour * 3 tbsp butter * 1/2 tbsp

Black Bean Soup

This soup is my go-to whenever I eat at Panera Bread (which has happened maybe 5 times ever, hah), and I have been craving it for the past few years. For some reason, I never got around to making though because I never had onions on hand or just didn&

dessert

Chocolate Lava Cake

There are few things better than the combination of melty cake and ice cream. The craving suddenly hit me. Ingredients * 1 egg * 1/8 tsp salt * 1 tbsp sugar + excess for coating the ramekin * 2 oz chocolate * 1 tbsp flour * 1 tbsp butter Methodology Preheat the oven to 425F. Measure

dessert

Microwave Mochi

There are days when I crave something soft, chewy, and only slightly sweet. Mochi is the only thing that fits. Ingredients * 1/2 cup sugar (more if you prefer your mochi sweet) * 1.5 cup mochiko * 1.5 cup water * corn starch Methodology Toss the sugar, mochiko, and water together

Tuna Kimbap

This dish makes me think of middle school and high school because I had a friend whose mother would sometimes pack her kimbap for lunch, and then another friend and I would always be hounding over it, trying to get a piece. It's like a sushi roll, but
