Canh chua cá is an iconic Vietnamese sweet and sour soup made with pineapples, tamarind, tomatoes, and catfish. It’s sweetened with pineapple and its sour component comes from tamarind.
One of my favorite ways to repurpose leftover duck? Make roast duck noodle soup! Tip: if you reheat the duck in an air fryer, the skin will come out extra crispy and the meat super moist, just as if it’s freshly roasted!
Seared salmon fillets basted with a sweet and savory lemon infused honey, soy sauce, and garlic glaze. This is a must try!
These creamy egg noodles and meatballs are made with flavor-packed homemade meatballs smothered in savory, saucy goodness and served over egg noodles. So yummy!
This shrimp scampi is made with tender pan-seared shrimp in an incredibly delicious, yet insanely simple, garlicky bath of butter, olive oil, and splashes of white wine and lemon juice. What more could you ask for?
This versatile lemon chicken orzo soup is a one pot wonder loaded with lemony deliciousness. It's just about as comforting as it gets.
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.
Chicken salad, but make it curry! I was in the mood for chicken salad, but I also wanted chicken curry, so I figured why not both? I added curry powder, dried cranberries, and toasted sliced almonds to make this curried chicken salad and served it on a croissant over a bed of arugula.
Did you know you can make crepes with pancake mix and some ingredients that you'll likely always have available? All you need to makes these delicious crepes are pancake mix, milk, an egg, and some vanilla! Serve them with fruits if you're in the mood for sweet crepes, or meats and cheeses if you're in the mood for savory crepes.
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.
