Weeknight Tofu Steaks

Weeknight Tofu Steaks

In an attempt to reduce my meat and dairy consumption, I’ve been experimenting with Tofu recently. After a few texture fails, I’ve arrived at a process I really like. Bonus: it is incredibly easy. I buy 14oz packs of Nasoya Organic extra-firm tofu and cook […]

Weeknight Stir Fried Noodles with Lamb

Weeknight Stir Fried Noodles with Lamb

I’m a fan of (a) lots of veggies in my food, and (b) minimal dish use. So, stir fries of any kind are totally up my alley, specially when I have cold noodles sitting in the fridge, waiting to find their purpose in life. Crimini […]

Pho Ga

Thai Rice Soup with Pork Meatballs, Instant Pot

Thai Rice Soup with Pork Meatballs, Instant Pot

I recently bookmarked this recipe after seeing one of my friends rave about it on social media. It sounded perfect. Growing up as a child in India, congee (or kanji) was a comfort meal made for the ailing, so it took me a while to […]
