I’m Aihoa! I created Food with Aihoa to share my food experiments and favorite recipes.
This is not your ordinary bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. I woke up this morning craving a breakfast sandwich and made this quick and delicious sandwich with toasted French bread, pesto, cheddar, scrambled eggs, prosciutto, and arugula.
I'd make a vegetable joke, but you guys might not carrot all. Pickled carrots and daikon are a signature addition to Vietnamese dishes. If you've ever had Vietnamese food, you've probably caught a glimpse of this colorful condiment. These crunchy pickled vegetables are best known as an addition to banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), but they're a tasty snack all on their own and they also go well with spring rolls, vermicelli dishes, savory crepes...the list goes on!
This dish is so good, it's pre-pasta-rous! Juicy pork and fresh arugula are served with a heavenly homemade lemon sauce in this pasta dish. It's the perfect balance of flavors that we just can't get enough of.
Keep calm and curry on with these delicious beef curry puffs! These oven baked beauties are great as appetizers or snacks. They're savory, a little bit sweet, and filled with fragrant curried beef tucked into a flaky, crisp crust.
This take on mizeria may not be perfectly true to its Polish roots, but my Polish boyfriend certainly approves! Made with crunchy, refreshing cucumbers and creamy sour cream, this cucumber salad is the perfect way to cool off and enjoy those last days of summer.
Winner winner, chicken dinner! Pan-seared chicken smothered in marinara sauce and topped with gooey melted mozzarella. Every bite of this chicken is full of flavor and is sure to become an instant weeknight dinner favorite.
This jiggly, wiggly custard of silky, sweet deliciousness was adopted by the Vietnamese during the French colonization of Vietnam in the 19th century and is a common dessert. In northern Vietnam, it is known as bánh caramel, kem caramel or caramen and in southern Vietnam, it is known as bánh flan or kem flan. The difference between Vietnamese flan and European flan is Vietnamese flan is usually smaller and steamed rather than baked. Vietnamese flan also uses coconut as an ingredient and is drizzled with black coffee when served.
You've never had salmon quite like this before. Chris has been telling me that he can make the most delicious hot smoked salmon I've ever had and boy, was he right. This hot smoked salmon is absolutely drool worthy. While Chris's recipe does require some extra time and patience, the results are well worth it because this hot smoked salmon is the most delectable, subtly smoky, melt in your mouth salmon you will ever have.
This quick and easy lemon parmesan asparagus pasta is so simple and fresh that you’ll be making it over and over again! It's the perfect amount of delicious lemony goodness (just the way Chris and I like our lemon dishes!) and can be served as a light and healthy main dish or side dish.
I love the combination of spicy red Thai curry paste and coconut milk. The curry paste and coconut milk are essential to this red curry chicken noodle bowl, so don’t skimp on them! I normally use red curry paste to make these egg noodles in chicken curry sauce (Chris's favorite) but had some left over that needed to be used up so I decided to experiment with this noodle bowl. Much to my delight, this turned out to be an excellent recipe that I'll keep handy for times when I need a quick fix of chicken and noodles, but with a kick. I used bell peppers, carrots, bean sprouts, and scallions, but feel free to use whatever veggies you have available.
Not all chicken recipes are fast. Whether you serve them with a salad, sandwich or plate of pasta, these crispy chicken cutlets coated in breadcrumbs and pan-friend to golden perfection make an almost instant dinner. They're crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Just keep in mind that unless the chicken breasts are quite small, slice them crosswise to make cutlets. A large chicken breast may be enough for 2 to 3 servings.
