My Chicken Fried Rice

February 21, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

First, this is in no way an authentic way to make Chinese Chicken Fried Rice. I have tried many recipes and well, this is just the way I prefer to have it. Second, no fancy photos or anything, just sharing the process since how can I do a month of Asian-inspired food and not do […]

Another Day, Another Pad Thai…

February 20, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 13 Comments

I am very, VERY picky about my Pad Thai. The first Pad Thai I had was at The Bamboo on Queen Street in Toronto eons ago and I fell in love. All those noodles! All that seafoodie flavour! Yup, I was in heaven. I have been searching for an authentic recipe ever since. This recipe […]

Hot and Sour Soup

February 18, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Recently people have been asking me how I can make so much food and I have answered, because I have to eat. I suppose most people do not make their own food but I do. I have been for years. I do take time off here and there but most of the time I make […]

Egg Foo Young

February 17, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

Truth be told, I have been feeling under the weather lately and yesterday was the worst. I was incapacitated by a change in the barometric pressure, a giant snowstorm was on its way, and a migraine hit me so badly I lost consciousness for hours on my couch. So what does this have to do […]

“They may look yummy but they don’t taste that way”

February 16, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 14 Comments

Ever since I made these Salad Rolls I have had this Northern Pikes’ song in my head! I fits perfectly with this foodie disaster. I wanted to try making salad rolls with rice paper because I have never worked with it before. I bought a package and my mom got me all freaked out by […]

My Fakeout “Plum” Sauce

February 10, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I am sure by now if you have been reading my blog for any length of time you will know that I am crazy about sauces. For me, a meal without a sauce does not compute. I made some homemade baked spring rolls and wanted to make my own dipper for it. Traditionally people use […]

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 […]

Weekend Frittata

February 6, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

As Tori suggested, I am going to continue my rebellious foodie rampage and go completely off the Asian-path for food this weekend. When I think of the weekend, I think frittata! I take all sorts of leftover ingredients and turn it into one bit eggy and cheesy pancake with turkey bacon on the side. My […]
