Tomato-Beef Patty One Entity. Burger without Bun? by tigerfish

Bell Peppers, Bok Choy and Mushrooms Pasta

Bell Peppers, Bok Choy and Mushrooms Pasta by tigerfish

Knowing a variety of cuisines helps me better my cooking. I try not to overcook the pasta, make sure it is al-dente and allow the pasta to finish off cooking while they are bathed in the pasta sauce in the pan. When it comes to Chinese stir-fry (esp that of vegetables), I do not like to overcook as well. So, when I combine both pasta…

Silken Tofu with Mushrooms and Chicken

Silken Tofu with Mushrooms and Chicken by tigerfish

Watercress Soup 西洋菜汤

Watercress Soup 西洋菜汤 by tigerfish

That was the first and last time I had Daikon in my Watercress Soup. Not horribly wrong but I lost the distinct watercress taste that I enjoy. So in the same recipe, I omitted the daikon to make a clear tasting Watercress Soup - 西洋菜汤. While most Watercress Soups are boiled with pork/spare ribs or pork bones, I made my Watercress Soup…

So in that incident, I made Aloo Gobi without them. *bang head on the wall*...I even got the cilantro ready for this dish, which to me is quintessential to Aloo Gobi. How could I have forgetten tomatoes?!?! At this time, I rather call this Spicy Cauliflower and Potatoes.Spicy Cauliflower with…
