The best thing you can do with leftover rice – make fried rice :). This dish is always a savior for me when I have no idea what to cook and have some rice in my fridge (also, when I want to clean my fridge a little bit). I love how versatile it can be, you can play with ingredients and find the best flavors.
Today’s dish – nasi goreng (it literally translates to fried rice). The key to this dish is a sauce and old rice.
Gado gado (literally translates to “mix-mix”) – delicious indonesian salad. In this dish you can use different veggies, what you have in your fridge. The main star is peanut sauce, it transforms salad to a very fulfilling meal. These salads have very different textures that just work perfectly together: softness of eggs and boiled potatoes, crunchiness of tofu and prawn crackers, juiciness of fresh veggies and sauce creaminess.
For the vegan version don’t use eggs and replace prawns crackers with thin rice crackers. You can change ingredients, however, I think potatoes and tofu or tempeh are essential.
Simple home dish, most of the ingredients you already have in your pantry. If you are too lazy to prepare meatball sauce, you can use store bought marinara and it will take even less time to prepare this meal.
Gnocchi is gaining popularity these days and now you can find many great recipes with amazing sauces and methods on how to prepare them. Personally, I have 2 favorites and today’s recipe is one of them. Mushrooms with spinach are a great duet and accompanied with cream it becomes even better. This dish is vegetarian and gluten free ( if you use gluten free gnocchi), but it’s very easy to make it vegan. Just replace regular cream with soy cream, use olive oil instead of butter and vegan “cheese” instead of parmesan.
Today I decided to write an easy pizza recipe. I could talk about pizzas and my love for them for hours. When I was younger I worked at a place where I ate pizza everyday for lunch and I didn’t get sick of it.
This recipe is simple so everyone should be able to make it. I have and use a dough mixer in my kitchen ( I am so happy for it), but you can do everything by hand. Before owning the mixer I used to knead dough by hands. Maybe this recipe is not authentic, but trust me – with good ingredients you can make great homemade pizza.
his dish is a meat lovers dream. It’s warm and heartily stew with chorizo and minced beef. It has mild spiciness and definitely warms you from the inside. I learned that leftovers of this stew go so well with pasta, as a sauce :).
As we know, sometimes the simplest things are the best. This post recipe is an example of it.
Choripán – easy to make and soooo delicious! It’s popular street food in Argentina. The name of it translates to main ingredients: chorizo and bun (pan in Spanish). This sandwich is usually served with chimichurri and salsa criolla.
Quinoa is another food that I really like. These seeds (yes, technically it’s seeds) have neutral flavor, that means you can play with different spices and ingredients this way creating new flavors and a lot of different variations. Quinoa origin is South America and you can find many great dishes with them.
While deciding what to cook I was between two choices: empanadas with quinoa or quinoa risotto. Risotto won, but only because I had some leftover boletus in my freezer :). Today’s dish is very easy, fast, gluten-free and most importantly very delicious and nutritious.
Today’s dish fainá is a flatbread that is super popular in Argentina and Uruguay. This flatbread is related to italian farinara and its recipe was brought by italian immigrants. Because it is made of chickpea flour it’s gluten free and with different toppings it can be not only the snack, but also the main dish.
Today’s recipe can be eaten as a main dish. Fainá with chorizo and blue cheese are great alternative to regular pizza. The flavor of chorizo and blue cheese are intense, but they just go perfect together. I am sure that this is not the last time I’m making it, and actually I have a few ideas how I want to prepare it next time.
Although San Bei Ji originated in China, this dish is very popular in Taiwan. What I like the most about it is the simplicity. You need just basic ingredients and all the flavors come together just perfectly. This time I made three cup chicken with Japanese rice wine, but next time I will definitely try to make it with Shaoxing wine.
