I’m Aihoa! I created Food with Aihoa to share my food experiments and favorite recipes.
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.
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.
There’s never a bad time to make these addicting shrimp and crab toasts. Featuring a savory shrimp and imitation crab mixture on top of crispy, golden sliced baguette, these tasty little toasts are perfect for any occasion. Plus, you can make the shrimp and crab mixture ahead of time. The imitation crab adds a subtle sweetness, which I like, but you can use real crab if you’d like!
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.
This kimchi bacon udon stir fry is so easy to make and so satisfying! In this dish, kimchi shines as a component of the dish, rather than as a condiment. The dish is full of heat and balanced with tangy kimchi and subtle sweetness from raw honey. For all you spice lovers out there, this dish is hands down a must-try! And the fact that kimchi is full of probiotics and is good for you makes this stir fry a tasty no-brainer for your next meal!
