Looking for some unique, fun dishes to cook while we’re all hunkered down at home? Today, I’m going to share my go-to meal during this crazy Covid-19 epidemic – Asian noodle soups without recipes. They’re a truly great way to make a wide variety of quick, cheap, nourishing and ridiculously delicious meals. Sure, you can […]
I don’t know if was divine intervention or just pure luck but this Japanese tomato noodle soup is one of the best soups I’ve ever created. I say “created” and not “made” because it’s truly an original recipe. You can’t google “Japanese tomato noodle soup” and come up with anything like it. I’m not trying […]
Cambodian sour soup is not what it sounds like. I really wish there was a better English translation for “samlor machu” which is Khmer (the language spoken in Cambodia) for “sour soup.” It’s really not THAT sour and there’s a lot more going on besides just the sour flavor – hints of sweet, salty, spicy […]
You might think that a Thai chicken noodle soup is like many Thai soups – rich, intensely flavored with a curry paste and of course, super spicy. Not so! I promise you there’s more to Thai soups than what you’ll find in western Thai restaurants. For example, this Thai chicken noodle soup is actually not that […]
This Thai beef noodle soup recipe is one of my absolute favorite Thai soups. It’s also pretty easy to make at home though I have to admit there’s nothing quite like getting it in Thailand itself where street vendors peddle their tasty soups from push carts which are a little bit like the hot dog […]
If you like Thai cuisine and you like pesto, you’ll LOVE this recipe. It combines bone broth, Thai basil pesto, shrimp (you can sub any protein you want), rice vermicelli noodles (and optional cherry tomatoes) with Thai seasonings for a unique twist on a regular Italian pesto. Seriously, how amazing does this look?! In my […]
Before I get to the Burmese coconut chicken noodle soup recipe, I just HAVE to show you something kind of funny. So one of my goals for this year is to become a better food photographer. Well I just completed a 5 week class on the basics of photography. By no means do I now […]
If you’ve never made an Asian recipe before, I’d recommend starting with this simple Asian beef noodle soup. The classic combination of ginger, garlic and soy sauce gives this soup a quintessential east Asian flair. Feel free to substitute any type of meat or vegetables you like. Personally, I love using strips of steak with […]
This Taiwanese pork noodle soup recipe was inspired by a recipe I found for a Taiwanese beef noodle soup recipe that I wanted to make exactly as it was written. But as so often happens, I didn’t have half the ingredients. And I didn’t want to go to the store to get them. I was […]
For me, it all started with mohinga back in 2007. That’s me in that pic, joyously slurping down a bowl somewhere in Burma. Although I didn’t know it at the time, it would inspire me to write my latest book, Fearless Broths and Soups: Ditch the Boxes and Cans with 60 Simple Recipes for Real People […]
Oh how I love thee Asian noodle soups! When I traveled through Asia I fell in love with the incredible variety, simplicity and flavor of noodle soups. My absolute favorite was a noodle soup from Burma called mohinga. I often had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In fact, sometimes I think I should just […]
