Okinawan Sweet Fritters

Okinawan Sweet Fritters by Tamara Daugherty

I grew up loving this delicate treat, both from the market in Okinawa (watching elderly women fry these up in giant cast iron pots) and made at home by my "Oba-ason" (Okinawan grandmother)". I use to wait for these little doughnuts to float on top in her pot over a wood-fed fire. (we never had a stove). Similar to the American version…

Curried Chow Mein Noodle, Pea, Shrimp & Cashew Salad

Curried Chow Mein Noodle, Pea, Shrimp & Cashew Salad by Bob Vincent

This is a quick and easy dish to make. It is adapted from a recipe that appeared in Bon Appetit Magazine's "Too Busy To Cook" section in 1981. They published two hardbound books with recipes from "Too Busy To Cook." One in 1981 and the second volume in 1988. I added water chesnuts; increased the amount cashews and mayonnaise,…

Orange Portabella and Spinach Rice Bowl

Orange Portabella and Spinach Rice Bowl by Sean Kervin

While living in Japan, I fell in love with the simplicity of the Japanese Rice Bowl. Nothing too complex - it is simply a bowl of Jasmine rice with beef or chicken, some sauce, and if you're lucky, you sometimes get sea weed or a fried egg on top. I have since bastardized the concept - but the foundation of some rice, in a bowl,…

Pineapple Beef Stir Fry

Pineapple Beef Stir Fry by Hungry Jenny

Pineapple in a stir fry is fantastic because all the lovely juice spreads out and soaks through the rest of the dish! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-things-to-do-with-beef.html

World Class Tomato Salad For A World Cup Final Match

World Class Tomato Salad For A World Cup Final Match by kathy gori

All Saturday before the World Cup was to be played I had Tapas on my mind. Maybe it was Spain being in the finals, maybe it was that psychic octopus from the German zoo. Who knows why one gets tapas on the brain, but there they were. So did that make me go on a quest for tapas? No. It did make me go looking for a recipe for that days'…

ROASTED RED SNAPPER UPRIGHT WITH GARLIC, GINGER AND CILANTRO MARINADE

ROASTED RED SNAPPER UPRIGHT WITH GARLIC, GINGER AND CILANTRO MARINADE by Cecelia Heer

Whole red snapper is first marinated with a combination of lime juice, garlic, ginger and cilantro; then roasted, upright, in an oven. The key here is to keep the fish standing upright (sort of like the “chicken standing” type recipes out there)

Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken by PreeOccupied

Nothing extraordinary about this tandoori chicken, except that I have used a "Chuza" for this recipe. Cornish Hen is what is closely classified as a chuza you can get from a supermarket. Not to mention that this was my first time making a tandoori of a whole cornish hen!

Eggplant Donburi

Eggplant Donburi by Nancy Miyasaki

As a Japanese american, I have a soft spot for donburi (Japanese term for just about anything served over rice). Our kids love it too. We mix up a warm bowl of brown and white rice and cover it with something warm, salty, sweet, and occasionally a bit spicy. This is rib sticking good, and best served in fall, winter or the early…

Kimchi Bokkeum Bab w Ginger (Fried Rice)

Kimchi Bokkeum Bab w Ginger (Fried Rice) by jason kim

My good friend and famous Aussie actor Hugh Jackman provided me some inspiration for tonight's dinner, Ginger Fried Rice Korean-style, a dish he apparently loves according to People magazine (but I'm thinking the wife would probably had benefited from some kind of soup for her sudden sickness). When he was younger, his father used to…
