Extra Crispy Baked French Fries

Extra Crispy Baked French Fries by jason kim

We experimented with things overdue (but still edible of course) in our pantry when deciding what to give the kids for their afternoon snack. Upon finding a large bag of potatoes and panko bread crumbs, we thought something in the form of french fries would work with this combination. We usually use the bread crumbs when making…

Ampalaya Gisado with Egg (Sauteed Bitter Gourd)

Ampalaya Gisado with Egg (Sauteed Bitter Gourd) by ShaleeDP

Ampalaya is just so hard to feed to kids. How I do it is I add egg in it to make the bittery taste fade a bit. It works well and it's easier for them to eat it. Ampalaya is good for those who have anemia.

Harusame Salad

Harusame Salad by Suzi

Years ago my daughter lived in Hollywood, FL near the beach and we'd go to this Japanese restaurant off of Harrison Street. I can't recall the name of the restaurant but I do recall their Harusame Salad. Crispy fried rice sticks with purple cabbage, carrots, scallions and bean sprouts. The dressing was a Kimchi sauce. I have…

Beer Battered French Fried Onion Rings

Beer Battered French Fried Onion Rings by Robyn Savoie

When the Vidalia onions come into season, I make a batch or two of this and freeze them for later use. See freezing tips below. I'm not much of a beer drinker but I do like some offered by the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co. Summer Shandy is my favorite and I stock up in the spring when it comes out. I use it in this recipe.…

Georgian Eggplant with Walnut

Georgian Eggplant with Walnut by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious dish that I had in a Georgian restaurant in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was delicious, and this rendition does it supreme justice. This will taste best if you use asian eggplant (chinese, japanese, etc.) which is much thinner than regular eggplant and had smaller and fewer seeds. Makes a great appetizer that can…

Vegan Japanese Cuisine: New Lotus Roots & Umeboshi

Vegan Japanese Cuisine: New Lotus Roots & Umeboshi by Robert-Gilles Martineau

Lotus roots, when new and fresh, should be prized for their great natural taste. They can even be eaten almost raw after a little marinating. The Japanese have a simple and delicate way to prepare them with umeboshi/Japanese pickled plums, which should please vegans and vegetarians (and omnivores). It certainly makes for a great snack…

Spicy Tomato Salad

Spicy Tomato Salad by Phyllis Munro

This is a side dish I make all the time in the summer. It is wonderful as a side dish served with rice. I use serrano peppers they are a little more spicy than jalapenos.
