My First Hot Pot Experience And What You Should Know

March 27, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

It is embarrassing to admit that I never got to try Chinese Hot Pot (very similar to Japanese Shabu-Shabu) during the three and a half years I lived in Vancouver. I would walk by hot pot restaurants over and over and wonder about their deliciousness from Victoria Drive’s sidewalks, mere steps from my apartment. It was […]

How NOT To Make Pad Thai

August 22, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

Looks good, right? Sadly… No. This was my first attempt at making Pad Thai for my Foodie Bucket List and I did so much wrong! Was it edible? Absolutely. But there were so many mistakes!!! Instead of hiding them in shame I am going to make sure you do not make them too. Tamarind Paste To […]

Asian-Inspired Instant Pot Short Ribs

May 1, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Would you believe me if I told you that I have never made short ribs before? Not only that, I made these astounding short ribs for just $2! That’s right! Reg was working late one night so it was just me for dinner. I took these $2 boneless short ribs priced to clear home with me […]

Fabulous Five Ingredient Peanut Dipping Sauce

May 4, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

Oh how I love sauces! But they can’t be just any sauce. They have to be the RIGHT sauce.  I bought these beautiful hand-crafted pork and chive dumplings from an Asian market in my hood.  I steamed them and then created a dipping sauce with my “light” soy which ended up being considered light in […]

Chatelaine’s Easy Vietnamese Beef Pho

March 14, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

I came across this recipe for Chatelaine’s Easy Vietnamese beef pho and was intrigued. I have eaten this delicious beef noodle dish a few times since I moved to Vancouver and am even taking the Craftsy class Vietnamese Classics: Pho, Noodles & Beyond with Andrea Nguyen. The fact that there is a class dedicated to this particular dish shows […]

How To Make The Japanese Soup Broth Dashi

November 20, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

I came across the term dashi thanks to the Craftsy class Building Flavorful Soups, Peter Berley. Such a good class, I learned so much! I had always wondered why my miso soup did not taste like a miso soup from an authentic Japanese restaurant and dashi is the reason. It is a soup broth traditionally made […]

Black Bean Green Beans & Listening To My Inner Foodie Voice

October 15, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie Leave a Comment

Last night I made Dining Car Beef and Red Onions from Helen’s Asian Kitchen: Easy Chinese Stir-Fries cookbook. It was the first official disappointment. It was extremely meh. What ended up giving it flavour was the black bean green bean dish that I put on the same plate.  I was inspired by one of her recipes […]

Easy Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

October 2, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie Leave a Comment

Thank you to Celeste at allrecipes.com who helped inspire me to come up with my own recipe for teriyaki sauce. Her recipe makes a ton so I scaled it back a little to make it my own. Reg and I were separated for our 15th wedding anniversary for very sad reasons. As a result, I went back […]

Helen Chen’s Pork Shreds and Napa Cabbage

September 29, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 1 Comment

I adapted this recipe from Helen’s Asian Kitchen: Easy Chinese Stir-Fries to create this noodle dish. It was originally Pork Shreds with Bean Thread Noodles and Napa Cabbage but I can not find bean thread noodles anywhere, despite the aisles and aisles of noodle products in my hood. As a result, I created this dish with fresh ramen […]
