Salmon Vermicelli Salad

This salad is so refreshing and light. Feel free to get creative with the herbs on this one – I would just recommend to keep the fresh mint!

Salt and Pepper Chicken with Vegetables and Nori Rice

This is my take on a classic Chinese takeout menu item. Since I’m making it at home I’m taking advantage of throwing in a whole lot of vegetables to make it a well-rounded meal. Don’t skip on the nori rice! The umami flavour is incredible. This dish is naturally gluten and dairy free

Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream

I thought, why not make my own ice cream mochi at home and customize the flavours? I love strawberries, but instead of using strawberry ice cream I thought I would put freeze-dried strawberries right in the mochi dough.

Honey Miso Ribs

These are unreal! The sweetness of the honey and the saltiness of the miso are a match made in heaven. These take a little while to cook to ensure that they are fall-off-the-bone tender but they are really easy! 100% worth the wait.

Coconut Rice

Take your boring rice side dish up a notch by cooking the rice in coconut milk. Feel free to use light coconut milk if you are looking to cut out some of the fat content.

Cucumber Edamame Salad with Coconut Curry Dressing

Peanut Satay Yam Noodle Bowls

If you haven’t invested in a spiralizer yet, I highly suggest you get on it! It encourages me to eat healthier by making it easy to substitute regular noodles for vegetable noodles. If you don’t have one you can still make this recipe- you will just have to cube the yams instead (or spend the extra time cutting them into very thin strips).

Fresh Veggie & Beef Noodle Bowl

Here’s another healthy recipe to add to your rotation. This reminds me of a Vietnamese noodle bowl but with more freshness from the extra vegetables. Omit the beef to make it vegetarian or substitute prawns, chicken or tofu.

Zoodle Kung Pao

Zucchini noodles (zoodles) are the tits. The only downfall is that they release a lot of moisture during the cooking process so you want to cook them as quickly as possible!

Thai Carrot Soup

Thai Papaya Salad

This salad is incredibly flavourful and good for you! Not even a drop of oil is used which is very uncommon considering most traditional salad dressings are oil based. To make the papaya strands I used a handheld julienne shredding tool but you can always use a regular box grater or even a spiralizer if you have one. I found all of the ingredients listed fairly easily at my local Asian market, so hopefully, you can do the same!

Wonton Prawns with Spicy Aioli

This is an impressive party appetizer that is a sure fire hit. If you are making these be sure they are the very last thing on your list since they do not keep well after frying. I would suggest to even fry these in front of your guests because that is the most fun part. The wontons expand and contort immediately in the oil and are quite beautiful. The fresher the better!

Pork Gyoza

Wontons, dumplings, jiaozi, potstickers, whatever you want to call em’, I dig it. I learned this recipe years ago from a friend who had returned from a trip to Japan.
