Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic Sauce by John Spottiswood

My father-in-law has become an amazing cook, and he made this as part of our Easter lunch this year with the fabulous pork tenderloin recipe (see linked below). This version isn't gloppy with extra sauce like you find in many Chinese take out places. It's very flavorful but also relatively light and healthful. He made a TON of it,…

Indian Style Curried Tofu & Mixed Vegetables by Sanjay Patel

This is an incredibly tasty Indian style mixed vegetable dish with extra protein from tofu. The flavors come primarily from the roasted seeds, asafetida, curry masala powders, onions & garlic. It is relatively low in carbs as is and high in protein and fiber. It is also moderately low in fat and you can cut the fat even further by…

Cabbage Stir Fry by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a wonderful dish with light but complex flavors. We typically serve this along with another dish as part of a Chinese style meal.

Fried Rice with Tempeh by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and healthy way to have fried rice. The tempeh provides a salty nuttiness similar to adding bacon, but with healthy goodness too. We tend to throw in whatever we have on hand, and the recipe below sort of demonstrates that. Using this method and sauce, you can add just about anything to the fried rice and it…

SAMOSA by Simmy Routroy

A samosa is a fried or baked pastry with a savory filling, such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas, lentils, ground lamb, ground beef or ground chicken.

Chili Chicken Bites by Asim Raza

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…

Snow Peas with Garlic and Sesame Seeds by Salad Foodie

Snow peas aren’t white, so how do they come by their name? It might be because they grow at the end of winter, before the last spring freeze. Even if covered with snow at that time they still grow well. Snow peas cook in a flash, so the wok is ideal to get this legume to the table still crunchy and firm. Stirfry with garlic then top…

Beet Leaves Fry by FeastForAll

I have not seen a lot of recipes for Beets (Beet root) leaves. My mother used to cook this dish and I love this. Beet leaves are quite tasty and have a nice aroma after cooked.

BLACK PEPPER TOFU by Cecelia Heer

This is another favorite dish of mine that I adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi's book, "Plenty", which offers vibrant vegetable recipes. The dish is perfect for a Meatless Monday after Seafood Sunday.

Masala Alu / Spicy Potato by Vidya

Alu/Potato used in so many snacks like samosa, alu wada/batata wada, alu kachori and many more. Here I am posting a recipe of masala alu, which I invented :) when I was in hurry. I don't have much time to make any lengthy snack like samosa/batata wada. So I just peel and chopped some potato's, added available spices and cooked…

Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes. by Helenscooking

It is mushroom season, and I wrote a lot about (button) crimini mushrooms lately. Button mushrooms have an excellent amount of selenium, zinc and manganese; all three are great antioxidant minerals. Also daily intake of crimini mushrooms for 1-2 months can reduce levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and TGs. And if you are…

Crunchy Long Beans With Sesame Seeds by Blackswan

This is just a simple vegetable dish I'd discovered during my last Shopping & Dining Trip in Bangkok. I was spell-bound the minute I took a bite into this dish at a Thai-Chinese Restaurant near Conrad Bangkok. Interestingly, it's spicy, very spicy & terribly salty. They've added peppercorns, dried chilli & something I've never…

Cottage Cheese Jalfrezi by Hina Gujral

In recent years Paneer Jalfrezi or Mixed Vegetable Jalfrezi has gained quite a rank in popularity charts of vegetarian dishes in India but like me most of the Paneer Jalfrezi lovers does not know what does the word "Jalfrezi means", earlier I use to think Jalfrezi is some kind of special spice used to season this curry. The word…
