You know what’s so great about making homemade fried rice? It’s a one-pot dinner and you can pretty much add whatever you have on hand, whether it’s frozen peas, carrots, or corn. Best of all, it’s quick, healthy, hearty, and there’s always leftovers for work the next day. What more could you…

Don’t you just love quick, weeknight meals that are completely homemade, taste fantastic, yet they take less than 30 minutes to make? This simple tuna puttanesca is just that, which is perfect for those exhausting long weekdays where you just don’t feel like cooking. I couldn’t believe how…

After making Christmas dinner for 15 people, I have not been in much of a mood to cook. But then again, I refuse to spend money on eating out when I have ingredients at home that need to be used up in a timely manner. The ground beef that I bought for this recipe was about to expire in a…

I absolutely love alfredo sauce. It’s so creamy and rich and probably quite fattening but if you make them at home, you can control the fat content a bit and use fat-free evaporated milk and/or reduced milk as well. It saves you some calories and you won’t notice a difference, especially with…

When Jason comes down from SF to visit me in LA, I like to send him off with huge portions of freezer-friendly foods because once he’s back up north, he won’t have time to cook. So I began to look for hearty meals that would provide him with plenty of sustenance and nourishment as he’s pulling…

I love “clean-out-your-fridge” recipes where you literally clean out your fridge by using up all your leftover veggies from your fridge and freezer to create a pretty darn good recipe. That’s what this was. After making Pioneer Woman’s fantastic Tofu Lettuce Wraps, I still had at least 3/4…

Here’s a sad fact I just learned today. I don’t know how to cut and peel a mango. I’m sure I could learn a thing or two from some YouTube videos but after 24 years of existence, I just don’t know how to do it. See, my mom always took care of the fruit cutting for me. She’d peel the apples,…

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been super obsessed with anything that involved the word “bars” - Dalmatian Bars, Key Lime Cheesecake Bars, White and Dark Chocolate Cream Cheese Chocolate Cake Bars - and oatmeal - Baked Oatmeal, Oatmeal Cookie Granola, Oatmeal Chocolate…

I recently learned that you’re supposed to consume 12-ounces, about 2 average meals, per week of different kinds of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury. This came as a bit of a shock to me because as much as I try do clean-eating, I really wasn’t incorporating any kind of fish into my…

Did you guys catch the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy last night? 17 minutes into the finale, I was seriously bawling my eyes out. That was quickly followed by anger, annoyance, and frustration. I won’t really get into the details of it since I know there are some people who haven’t watched…

Having a day off of a 5-day workweek sounds like a mini-vacation but I actually spent the entire day cooking and doing some major cleaning around the house. Ever since I started working, there is just no time to clean! But seeing that I had some down time, I busted out the vacuum, the swifter, and the 409. It’s seriously baffling as to how dust accumulates so quickly! No matter how often I clean, there’s just so much dust that piles up on every thing around the house! Ugh.

Ever since I started food blogging 13 months ago, I’ve rarely repeated any recipes. I definitely have some favorites that I’d like to try again here and there but I love trying new things, and I like to use the opportunity to post something new for the blog.

But one of the things that is in constant repeat at our house is pancetta fried rice (recipe to come soon). That and now this dish. This was my second time making this actually - the first time was months ago when I was visiting Jason in San Francisco. We absolutely loved it, and I made sure to recreate it so I can share it with all of you guys.

It’s an amazing dinner dish that comes together so quickly, but it’s still fancy enough to make when you have company over. All that needs to be done is to create the homemade teriyaki marinade, soak the salmon in this marinade for about 30 minutes or so, roast the salmon and then drizzle some of this fantastic Sriracha cream sauce on top. Yes, you heard me, I said Sriracha “cream” sauce. How mouth-wateringly amazing does that sound? The whole ensemble is wonderfully sweet with just enough heat in every bite. Just writing about this is making me crave this, and I just had it on Sunday! I might need to do an emergency grocery run so I can make it again tonight!

Remember when Jason was in SF and I was posting a lot of clean-eating, meatless recipes? Yeah, that all changed the minute he arrived in LA. We’ve been happily grubbing on these cheeseburgers, some fries, a whole pizza, and many of these finger-licking wings.

To add to this artery-clogging food list, I made some crazy fried shrimp the other day with a chili paste based sauce, which is similar to the Sriracha cream sauce I posted the other day but this one isn’t as sweet and instead, has more heat involved.

Now you should know that this isn’t your ordinary fried shrimp dish with some sauce drizzled on top. No, these shrimps (Is that the plural of shrimp?) are double coated in a spice-filled panko topping mixture, which ensures that crunchiness once they come out of that piping hot oil. Plus, the spicy chili paste sauce is the absolute perfect dipping sauce for these babies. I’ve tried them with homemade ranch, roasted red pepper cream sauce and Sriracha cream sauce and none of them compared to the former. (Yes, we had another taste test of dipping sauces, which is extremely important research as Kathryn from london bakes pointed out.)

As much as I love all these comfort food type dishes I’ve been making lately, I really need to incorporate some clean-eating recipes here and there. My waistline is not happy, and my skinny jeans are just TOO tight!

Would it be wrong to blame Jason for this?
