Seasoned Noodles with greens and dipping sauce


Every time we have this, it changes by a bit, usually whatever that is fresh on hand. This time there was some teryaki chicken and more fresh garden greens

This could be made into a wrap as pictured in the second pic or mixed to together as in the last picture.












 Vietnamese style crispy rice snack







my vegan lunch the other day:
lightly fried crispy tofu, steamed broccoli with hummus, salt and pepper cherry tomatoes and mango for dessert
dinner that night:
homemade rice noodles by mom

some more steamed broccoli with chili sauce,
teriyaki fish cakes
and lightly sauteed garlic cherry tomatoes







 I made dessert today, was rather lazy so did something quick. It took 5 mins.

Baked more brownies for my friend

Herb Chicken served over Peach Mango salsa and butter chive sweet corn ^_^








Fudge Brownies
A friend requested brownies, so I legit made like 5 different batches of brownies....
I kinda don't ever want to see a brownie now ...
over dose on brownies and am still recovering!!!
Does it look fudgey enough?








Banh Beo

A vietnamese dish that is usually served at breakfast










Banh Uot Cha Lua & Cha Ca

Banh Uoc (steam rice noodles mom made from scratch)







Cha Ca

Cha Ca (fried fish cake mom made from scratch.)









Banh Uot Cha Lua & Cha Ca

the noodles, fried fish cake, cha lua, fried shallots, bean sprouts and sauce...
another of my favorite, this is not the true version, just what we had on hand that day










Seasoned Noodles with dipping sauce and greens

Probably one of the simplest meal we love to enjoy, but it was so awesome you couldn't stop eating it. You need some season noodles, fresh greens and sauces of your choice.
 











Fresh Fiddle heads
available only in the northeast of the U.S.A. for 2 or 3 weeks in the beginning of spring. They are shipped to everywhere but people in places like California pay around 19.99lb per lb...here we get them from the source so around 2.99lb or 3.99 a lb unless you have some in your backyard!!!

They are very similar to asparagus, though if not cleaned well or cooked long enough you can get food poisoned from them. I trimmed and washed these like 10 times already, but they still needed a few more washes







Banh Khoai Mi (Yucca Cake)

Yucca Cake we made the other night...you might think that it's strange, but the shreds of fine yucca replaces the flour in this recipe. think finely shredded coconut, that kind of consistency.

it mildly rich, soft, crisp and lightly sweet...my mom isn't into sweet sweets

Beet Soup
One of my favorite soups
It very clean and light made with beets, potatoes, chicken and carrots







 My creation the other day, it was suppose to be a garlic and tomato mussels and clam pasta dish, but somehow it became a fusion dish. It was excellent, perfect for drinking and snacking.













Lisette farewell party:

I made some Lo Mein, which is like her favorite thing to eat
Chicken wings
Vietnamese Egg rolls  (Cha Gio)

Simple roasted sausage and veggie stew:

I was in the mood for Italian today so I made a
roasted mix tomatoes (heirloom & vine-ripe) with mix veggies and herbs topped with sweet Italian sausages

It sort of like a simple roasted sausage and veggie stew...
First time I made it, it came out really nice...
there was no recipe basically whatever that was fresh on hand.
