Grilled Flanken Style Korean Short Ribs (Galbi or Kalbi)

Grilled Flanken Style Korean Short Ribs (Galbi or Kalbi) by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one in Bon Appetit and another from Chef John (foodwishes.blogspot.com). Chef John recommended blending an asian pear into the marinade to help tenderize the meat. I didn't have an asian pear, so I substituted a fuji apple and reduced the sugar slightly. I thought the resulting marinade, and ribs, were…

Asian-Style Grilled Black Bass

Asian-Style Grilled Black Bass by John Spottiswood

This fish is simply delicious. The flesh is like butter and the flavor is from heaven. I know that sounds extreme, but it's true. I was in Costco and the fresh fish counter had whole black bass. I'd never made it before, but the woman behind the counter said it is similar to yellowtail (hamachi) which is one of my favorites, so I…

Shrimp and Tofu with Black Bean Sauce

Shrimp and Tofu with Black Bean Sauce by John Spottiswood

We're on a mission to create the ultimate black bean sauce. This recipe is getting pretty close I think. I took bits from a traditional Chinese recipe and combined those with another few bits that I got from a Martin Yan recipe. The result was not as sweet as Martin Yan's, but with just enough sweetness to fill out the flavor of…

Spicy Asian Grilled Pork Chops

Spicy Asian Grilled Pork Chops by John Spottiswood

This is an old favorite that I've made since my days living in Chicago. We lived near the main Korean part of town (near Lawrence I think) and frequently ate Bulgogi. One day I bought some boneless pork chops and tried to create my own marinade. This one is close. I do it somewhat by taste, and you can play with the quantities a…

Super Skinny Sweet and Sour Chicken by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This sweet and sour chicken taste sensational. It’s so much healthier than take-out and my family thinks it taste amazingly better! Although this dish is usually made with breaded, fried chicken, to make it healthy, I’m using chicken breasts chunks, adding more vegetables and pineapple plus serving over brown rice. The skinny for each…

Noodles with Cabbage, Mushrooms and Roasted Seaweed

Noodles with Cabbage, Mushrooms and Roasted Seaweed by tigerfish

I use instant noodles "cakes" for this. I partially cook them in boiling water prior to using, in order to get rid of the "oil" which they have been pre-fried in during manufacturing. Switch to healthier, "fry-able" options such as Udon, Fresh Egg Noodles or Pasta, if you have to. The roasted/toasted seaweed sheets used here are…
