Recipes by Daniel Poon

	Osso Buco means “Hole of Bone” in Italian by Daniel Poon Tonight for dinner, we whipped up a classic Italian meal of osso buco using beef shanks, but it’s traditionally done with veal shanks (baby cow). The very first time I had osso buco was in Rome, and I realized how much I’ve missed out for not trying it earlier! Osso buco is slow braised with a combination of vegetables, stock, herbs,…	3 votes 1025 views
	Banana Walnut Bread… from Starbucks? by Daniel Poon Yes, as random as it sounds, I made Banana Walnut Bread from a recipe card that was provided at a local Starbucks that I went to a few months ago. I thought it was interesting that they were sharing their recipes to their customers. Here’s what they wrote on the recipe card:Hi,We’re making a change by using simpler recipes and taking…	3 votes 1 review 1909 views
	Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: A Thanksgiving Potluck & Contest by Daniel Poon We have been hosting a Thanksgiving potluck at our house with our friends for the past 2 years, so it was customary that we’d have our 3rd annual dinner this year. I submitted my proposal to Foodbuzz about our traditional event, and to our surprise (*jumping up and down*), we were chosen as one of the 24 bloggers to be a part of…	1 vote 671 views
	Tom Yum Gai (Thai Spicy & Sour Chicken Soup) by Daniel Poon If you’ve ever been to a Thai restaurant, you’re probably very well aware of this soup they call Tom Yum Gai. “Tom Yum” is the name of the soup that originated from Laos and Thailand, and “Gai” means chicken. Tom Yum is also typically made with prawns, which is called Tom Yum Goong. Since we didn’t have any prawns on hand, we used…	1 vote 1 comment 750 views
	Double Blueberry Muffins by Daniel Poon Feb032010Once in awhile, it’s nice to bust out the KitchenAid and make a nice batch of sweets! Due to an impulse buy at Costco, I purchased a big box of fresh blueberries. I love to just snack on them, but I didn’t want to have a blueberry overdose. So I thought it would be nice to make some blueberry muffins. I relied on a recipe…	1 vote 1215 views
	Flambéing Bananas Foster by Daniel Poon I forgot to mention in the Rack of Lamb post that we made dessert after dinner. Bananas Foster is made with bananas that is drizzled with a dark sweet sauce made from butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, dark rum and banana liqueur, and is served with vanilla ice cream. This is a very classic dessert most notable in Southern cooking. In…	1 vote 834 views
	Chicken Pancit (Filipino Noodles) by Daniel Poon There are just those days where we don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen to prepare dinner. And in fact, sometimes we’re so lazy we don’t even want to cook! So contrary to popular belief, just because we have this food blog doesn’t mean we’re constantly cooking every day and having lovely home-cooked meals! I’m actually a…	1 vote 1186 views
	Portobello Salmon Burgers by Daniel Poon We try to incorporate more fish into our meals, but instead of the usual grilling of fish fillets, we wanted to make something more interesting for our daily diet. We took salmon fillets and threw it in a food processor to rough chop, and added a bunch of seasoning and ingredients to make a mean salmon burger. Our imaginations ran…	2 votes 790 views
	Brussels Sprouts with Ponzu, Fried Garlic, and Bonito Flakes by Daniel Poon The title of this post speaks for itself. There aren’t many ingredients involved to make this spectacular – and I do mean spectacular – vegetable dish. For those foodies who were at the 1st Annual Foodbuzz Blogger Festival back in November, you all…	1 vote 1200 views
	Lemon Broiled Orange Roughy by Daniel Poon Dec132009For those who are not familiar with orange roughy, it’s a species of fish that was first fished commercially off New Zealand, and then later off of Australia. Orange roughy has a mild, delicate flavor and moist, large-flaked meat that holds together well after cooking. We bought some frozen orange roughy fillets at Costco,…	2 votes 926 views
