General Tso’s Chicken
| August 15, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Make-ahead, MEAT, Recipe |
Partially taken (the batter/frying part, mostly) from The Bitten Word’s General Tso: Takeout vs. Homemade showdown, partially of my own invention, and partially out of laziness (packet of general tso sauce mix I found in the back of the pantry). It’s not that I didn’t want to follow a truly homemade recipe for this…
Hoisin Pork & Asparagus Stir Fry
| July 21, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Main Course, Recipe |
So my cousin Abs introduced me to this wonderful YouTube thing called “My Drunk Kitchen,” and let me just say, Hannah is amazing. She’s funny; she’s drunk; and she makes shit to eat. It’s awesome. I’ve watched so many (all 6 I guess is more accurate) of her videos that I feel myself morphing into…
Seared Scallops with Asparagus and Asian Noodles
| May 16, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe |
Let me tell you a little secret: sometimes I don’t want to cook. Yes, that’s right. No matter how much I love to cook, how much I love to eat, and how much joy I get out of feeding people (this is true, actually, one more check in my “nerd” column), sometimes I just can’t…
Chinese Beef & Broccoli
| May 10, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, MEAT, Recipe |
There is something about Americanized Chinese food that I just wholeheartedly love. Panda Express (that sickly sweet, breaded orange chicken), local take out joints (crab rangoons; eggrolls; chinese-style wings), and steam table “chinese” restaurants all hold a certain sway over me. In general, my eating habits have somewhat expanded and been refined these last…
Asian Meatball Stir-Fry with Brown Rice
| March 15, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, MEAT, Recipe |
The meatball. Had you asked me on the street this morning what I thought about meatballs in general, I probably would have given an answer along the lines of meh. Yet some introspection has given me pause – for someone who claims to feel not strongly about them, I sure make a lot of them. Of…
Glazed Chicken with Soba Noodle Salad
| March 9, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, MEAT, Side Dishes |
Or, how I stopped worrying and learned to accept that, sometimes, I will make a bad recipe. Well, you can’t say it’s not pretty. Perhaps that’s why I was drawn in by Real Simple’s Sweet & Spicy Chicken with Soba Salad recipe. And, truly, it wasn’t that bad. But, I did discover one thing vis-a-vis this…
Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
| March 7, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Main Course, Make-ahead, Recipe, snacks |
What is it about Asian food that is constantly alluring? Be it high-end sushi, take-out Thai noodles, or steam-table Chinese, I am thoroughly addicted to Asian food. It’s what I crave (OK, it’s one of hundreds of foods that I crave with regularity) and I can’t ever get enough (ibid.). Maybe it’s the exotic flavors…
Spinach & Mushroom Ramen Soup with Egg Rolls
| December 22, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Main Course, Recipe, Vegetarian |
I’m sick. Full disclosure: I hate being sick. Not only do I hate the tired, dazed, snuffling, coughing, achy feeling being sick brings to the body, but I also resent being sick on top of it. Thus when I’m sick, I’m also pissed off because I’m sick. This wonderfully mature quality of mine makes me a…
Pad Flippin’ Thai
| November 18, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe, Vegetarian |
If you are at all like me, and, who knows, maybe you are equally unusual, then you probably find yourself in a dillemma once in a while, when the urge to consume is strong, but the energy to cook or be inventive or create is loooooow. What to do, what to do, when you just…
Chinese Chickey
| September 16, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe |
Isn’t that All Clad pan pretty? Although I learned why the original recipe called for nonstick….cornstarch is sticky! Goodthing I like to deglaze…. I love Chinese food–everything from the sweet, fried, greasy, carb- and MSG-loaded fare at such delicate eateries as Panda Express to the authentic, strange, funky, fermented, pickled, spicy-as-all-hell meal (only one so…
