I’m Aihoa! I created Food with Aihoa to share my food experiments and favorite recipes.
This pork roast is made with simple ingredients, is perfectly seasoned, and melts in your mouth from being slow cooked all day. The savory gravy on top makes this recipe amazing!
This Haianese chicken and rice dish is made with ginger scented, perfectly poached chicken and fragrant, seasoned rice. I typically like to serve this dish with chili sauce, soup, and a side of herbs and veggies. It takes a bit of effort to make this dish at home, but trust me, the results are worth it.
Cilantro and lime is a classic duo that I personally just can't get enough of. This creamy cilantro lime chicken pasta is extremely easy to make and requires minimal preparation. All you need is aromatic cilantro, fresh lime juice, and garlic to bring out the flavors of the chicken.
Lemongrass pork chops are a fundamental dish in many Vietnamese restaurants. Lemongrass is a great herb to marinate meats with. It gives the meat a hint of lemon and mint. This particular recipe tastes like you spent hours, but in reality, you only have about 10 minutes of active preparation.
My boyfriend woke up today and decided he was going to make soup. If you know me, you know that I love soups, so naturally, I was very excited for this. I'd like to note that this is one of his first soup endeavors, so anything could happen. The result - a rich coconut lemongrass chicken noodle soup that's the perfect combination of sweet and savory, with hints of lemongrass.
Pad Thai is a noodle dish originating from Thailand. In Vietnamese, this dish is called Hu Tieu Xao (Stir-Fried Noodle Dish). This is a flavorful Pad Thai recipe that anyone can make. It's quick and easy and comes together in just under 30 minutes. This recipe uses Pad Thai noodles, eggs, and chicken as its primary ingredients, and is flavored with a deliciously tangy Pad Thai sauce made of fish sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime, and sriracha.
Fish soup was one of my favorites growing up. It's light and fragrant with the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and umami flavors. My mom would make so much that there would be enough for us for about half the week. Don’t worry, this is a scaled down recipe for 2, but you can always make more!
This slow cooker soy vinegar chicken is absolutely delicious. If you like soy sauce, you'll definitely love this recipe. The meat is tender and the sauce is flavorful. This is one of those recipes that gets better as it sits so you can even make it the day before.
Part of the fun of writing this blog is that my boyfriend enjoys cooking and is all for being featured on this blog! This is Chris's last minute sweet chili tilapia. The primary flavor as you would guess is sweet chili. The addition of the cayenne pepper and paprika give this recipe a nice kick, which we really liked.
Orzo is good in soups but is also great for serving instead of rice or as a side dish. This lemon orzo with Parmesan and peas recipe is the perfect combination of lemony Parmesan goodness and can be paired with your favorite meat or veggie to create a meal or served all on its own.
This savory egg sandwich is my adaptation of egg sandwiches my mom made when I was growing up. It's simple, yummy, and quick to make. It's more or less a savory omelette in sandwich form and is one of my go-to breakfasts whenever I am in a time crunch in the morning. You can use any bread/toast you prefer. I typically make this with regular toast or an English muffin.
Rich and smooth just the way cheesecake should be. The raspberry swirls against the white chocolate look gorgeous (and taste even better!) and make this cheesecake a great pick for bringing to family gatherings or special events.
