Braised Beef Flank with Long White Radish

We have totally run over the budget for food this month since we have found a really good salad bar and we just cannot stop going there at lunch hours. This has to stop in July! It also makes us crave for some meat! Too much vegetables! (I can’t believe I just said that). So,…

Pot Stewed Beef Liver

So, the 2014 FIFA World Cup is coming next month. It will be a season of soccer, beer and probably sleepy eyes in the day. Let’s not forget about the  beer snacks. Although I’m not a big fan of drinking, I sure do love the snacks. So today I’m going to show a transitional beer…

Baked Mini Meat Pies

This week we got some lean ground beef left in our fridge, a small apple and some mushrooms. They were just perfect for making mini meat pies. You can eat with any dipping sauce you want. We prefer just ketchup. They are great to pair with some salad or a veggie soup. The Chinese version:…

Oxtail Stew

Easy Korean Bibimbap

We had korean bibimbap tonight. I have to admit that this recipe is not as delicious as one from a good korean restaurant but it is cheaper and good enough! Bibimbap is a traditional korean dish that is served on a  warm stone bowl. Here we only capture the essentials: rice, vegetables, meat, eggs, and…
