Baked Spring Rolls

February 10, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

I was not sure it was going to be possible for me to make spring rolls for my month of Pan-Asian cooking because I do not deep fry. So I was very exciting to find Cooking Etctera’s Baked Chicken Spring Rolls recipe. I printed it out and got to work: Yup, lots of chopping and […]

Michael Smith’s Chicken Dumplings

February 9, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 14 Comments

Our journey into Asian cuisine continues this month with Michael Smith’s Chicken Dumplings. I have also made a shrimp version of this dish which is even tastier but I know not everyone eats seafood and the original recipe using chicken is very delicious. The best part about this recipe is it is super easy! Minimal […]

HOMEMADE Sweet and Sour Sauce

February 8, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 21 Comments

We have had debates around here about what “from scratch” means but when it comes to homemade, the whole point of this post is I could make it at home. And so can you! I have always wanted to try making my own sweet and sour sauce. I am one of those people guilty of […]

Veggie Potstickers

February 4, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Well it is about time for me to get to some Chinese cooking isn’t it? Dave Lieberman’s Veggie Potstickers are the first dumpling-type treats I ever made. Getting to see him make them and show me just how to do it got me over my anxiety of making something that seemed so difficult and made […]

My Super Simple Miso Soup

February 3, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

I must admit something, this is not authentic Japanese miso soup. It does not have dashi, green onions or tofu in it but it is my every-day version of this delicious and healing soup. My mom introduced me to miso soup years ago at an area called The Grange in downtown Toronto. I had never […]

Spicy Peanut Noodles with Steak

February 2, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 11 Comments

I was inspired to make this dish thanks to Five Ingredient Fix’s recipe for Chilled Peanut Soba Noodles. I changed a lot of elements to the preparation of this dish but it is still super easy and requires few ingredients. It has a Thai-flare to it so I thought it would be the perfect place […]

Gung Hei Fat Choy!

I love this display in my grocery store. Makes me miss Vancouver where we lived in an area I called Little Chinatown, where I could pick up anything and everything for cheap every day! …Which means “Happy New Year” in Chinese. We are not quite there yet but it is not far away! This year […]

Tutorial: Steamed Black Bean Chicken and Mushroom Buns

August 26, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

Back in May I learned how to make steamed barbecue chicken buns. A new cooking technique for me and ever since I made those buns I have been wanting to make more! This time I skipped the mixer and made the dough mostly by hand with a little help from my food processor. I also […]

Learning new cooking techniques

May 6, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

So light and airy, this buns ended up being worth the effort (Note: information in this post has been updated thanks to my fabulous sister Shannon The Movie Moxie! Thanks for filling in the gaps Shannon!) I love bread. I am CRAZY about bread. It is my diet nemesis and I do not care. I […]
