Satay Pasta Salad

This is a bit of a fusion dish, a beautiful marriage of pasta salad and Indonesian satay sauce. My recipe for the sauce is based on Little Green Dot's recipe, so if you want something more authentic check out the original. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does!

Satay Soup with Buckwheat Noodles

This recipe is a bit 'northeastern China meets Southeast Asia,' but I'm so glad the two did meet, 'cause the results are delicious! I used Jeeca's lovely recipe as a base, but obviously made a few changes to bring forward some Thai and Chinese elements. Recipes are only ever guides, not laws, so feel free to play with mine as well if you like!

Bibimbap Basics

Bibimbap is a widely loved Korean favorite both in Korea and abroad and while I cannot claim that what follows is Korean, the sauce and beef largely come from this excellent recipe (albeit with some modifications). The recipe below is just one possibility of many (there are all kinds of bibimbap), but has a taste of Korea (the sauces and overall style) and northeastern China (the cumin-flavored vegetable dish) while also being North American in some of its ingredients (the ground beef and peas and carrots). It reminds me of past homes and friends and was an instant favorite from the first time I made it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
