I’m Aihoa! I created Food with Aihoa to share my food experiments and favorite recipes.
All in Dinner
I had some udon, chicken, and baby bok choy in the fridge and was inspired to make this quick stir fry. Honestly, it was a great idea. The result - this super simple, super comforting, and deliciously saucy udon with chicken and baby bok choy.
If you have some noodles lying around, you’re going to want to try this one. The acidic, spicy tang of kimchi is the star of this soup and is perfectly rounded out by earthy mushroom and rich chicken broth.
Once you start making these, I promise you’ll become addicted! Store bought tortillas crisp up perfectly when cooked and don’t taste like tortillas, but rather like the perfect thin crust pizza dough. These single serving tortilla pizzas have a salad on top of them with roasted mushrooms, arugula, and parmesan, finished with a spritz of lemon juice.
Cozy up to this slow cooked bacon, beef, and veggie stew any day of the week. It’s full of rich, bacon flavor and nutritious veggies. My favorite part is how tender the beef is. You can eat it all by itself, or serve it with some bread for dipping.
Another day, another noodle soup. Bún riêu cua (Vietnamese crab noodle soup) is one of my favorite childhood soups. If you’ve never had it, it’s a tangy tomato and freshwater crab based bowl of blissful soup with “riêu”, or meatballs, made of crab and usually ground pork.
Here's what you need to make this bacon chicken alfredo: bacon, chicken breasts, linguine, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, mushroom seasoning, and parmesan cheese.
Peanut butter noodles have turned into a frequent request in our house ever since I made my version. This is Chris’s take on the nutty dish. Let us know what you guys think!
This creamy chicken pasta is the happy result of being hungry after returning from a week away from home, not having done any groceries, and having only what was available in the fridge and pantry. Using some chicken, pasta and cherry tomatoes, along with some other miscellaneous items, we ended up with this deliciously creamy chicken pasta that we’ll definitely be making again and again.
Vietnamese chicken curry (cà ri gà) is a dish that I grew up eating as a child. It’s a bowl of cozy comfort packed with curry and lemongrass flavors. I could eat bowls and bowls of this with LOTS of freshly toasted baguette slices for dipping.
I don’t know about you guys, but lately, I’ve been looking for ways to use up all the things that have been lying around in my fridge and pantry. Today’s experiment is this kickin’ pumpkin pasta. The sauce is made with garlic, onions, chicken broth, cream, and of course, pumpkin purée. For an extra kick, I added a bit of Weber Kick’n Chicken Seasoning.
There’s nothing that quite screams fall like a hearty beef stew. This beef stew is chock full of tender chunks of juicy beef, carrots, onion, garlic, tomato, and a few good glugs of red wine. Pair it with some buttered egg noodles and you’ve got yourself a cozy, satisfying, belly-warming meal.
