This is a easy Hong Kong style dish that my mom use to make for lunch on weekends or if I was at home sick. The ingredients are simple: broth, elbow macaroni, some meat (leftovers from dinner or Spam), some veggies (whatever’s around). Sometimes she would fry an egg and put that on top. Eating…

Pressure Cooker Pork Carnitas
I really am going crazy with this pressure cooker. It makes my favourite, usually very time consuming, recipes into 1 hour meals. I was in the mood for some carnitas and didn’t want to pay for any, so here goes my version. I purchased pork shoulder because it has great flavour, and pork hock (not…
$12 Sandwich
Do you ever go to a bistro for lunch and see a sandwich that looks tasty and say “$12?! What the what?!” It happens to me pretty often. With a little bit of foresight, those sandwiches could be had for a couple of bucks. Good quality deli meat, roasted veggies, it doesn’t take much. Obviously,…
Easy Somewhat Homemade Meatballs (with spaghetti!)
I’m sorry about the terrible photo. I left my camera at home and I took this on my phone. If you can’t eat dairy, you probably don’t eat meatballs (or you do, and feel the pain later). This recipe is easy and dairy-free, and totally delicious. I got the idea for using sausages from some…
Slow-cooker chili
Holy cow, I’ve finally done it! The worst food photo ever seen by human eyes! Hearty, filling and warm, this is the easiest thing to make in the world. All you need is a few ingredients, a slow cooker, 15 minutes to prep the stuff and 6 hours to let it cook by itself. And…
Basic fried rice
Fried rice is another one of those recipes that use up all the leftovers in the fridge. All you really need is rice, soy sauce, veggies, protein and oil. You can have an endless amount of combinations. I have yet to make a combination that tastes bad, but that doesn’t mean this recipe is infallible….
Chinese-style pork, broccoli and brown rice with pickled cucumbers
I’ve sort of been craving Cantonese pork ribs lately, but really didn’t want to mess with the bones at work, so I went with pork chops. Sorry about the grossness of the picture. It’s biking season and everything sort of got bashed around. Chinese-style pork Ingredients: 2 pork chops, sliced into strips 1 tbsp dark…
Chicken and bean tacos/rice
No exaggeration, I got a phone call from my coworker, demanding that I tell her what I was having for lunch, since it smelled so delicious. Let me tell you, it tastes as good as it smells. Ingredients 1 chicken leg (or big chicken breast, whatever), skin separated and reserved, meat diced 1/2 red onion,…
Wild Rice Stuffed Turkey Roast – Dinner edition
Today’s lunch was leftovers from our Easter meal, so here’s the dinner I made for my family-in-law on Friday. Please note, I made WAY too much food. All this was enough for maybe 10-12 people. Also, this recipe is not for the lazy, you need to be ambitious for this! Working time: 1-1.5 hours Cooking…
Crunchy Chicken Salad Sandwich with Raw Kale Salad
What do you do when you have one chicken thigh that you want to spread over two lunch servings without making some sort of stew thingie? Chicken salad sandwiches!! But first, let’s start with the kale salad, as I made that while the chicken was cooking. Raw Kale Salad I love this salad because it’s…
