Another simple and great homemade recipe. Simple ingredients and just a few steps to make an amazing meal. I love to serve it with mashed potatoes, for me it’s the best duet :). If you want a vegan version – don’t add smoked sausage.

DAN DAN noodles
Dan dan noodles or dandanmian – a noodle dish originated in Sichuan. It is one of the most famous Sichuan street foods. This dish is served with freshly boiled noodles in little bit spicy and savoury sauce with crispy minced pork and crushed peanuts. Noodles can be served dry or as a soup ( in Sichuan it’s usually served as a soup and in American Chinese cuisine dry).
Korean gochujang pork
Today’s dish was a surprise for my taste receptors. Finally I had a chance to try gochujang and I’m so happy that I did! Marinade was improvisation, but I will definitely save it. I will cook chicken, cauliflower, tofu in it..
Probably you already understood – this recipe is amazing, all flavors just work perfect together.
Italian meatballs
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.
Choripán
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.
Keftedes (Greek Meatballs)
Keftedes are fried Greek meatballs, usually served as appetizer and, also, as part of meze platter. Keftedes can be served as a main dish with tzatziki, feta salad and rice/potatoes.
I did a slightly healthier version, where keftedes are baked and not fried. However that doesn't mean that they are less delicious. Meatballs are still crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's so hard not to like them!
Moussaka (greek eggplant and meat lasagna)
Moussaka is greek version of lasagna. Instead of pasta they use my favorite eggplants and / or potatoes. This dish is very aromatic and should be liked by even pickiest eaters.
In my version I used only eggplant, this way the dish becomes a little bit lighter. And do not be afraid, it’s super easy to make.
GYOZA with minced pork
Gyoza has many variations. These dumplings usually are cooked with fried/steamed cooking method. First you fry them in a pan with some oil and when the bottom is crispy, you add a little bit of water, cover the pan and let them steam. This cooking method gives different textures: crispy bottom with juicy filling and soft top.
