Vietnamese Spring Roll

Two of my favorite Vietnamese dishes are the combo pork skin with BBQ beef over rice and the Spring Roll. Today, I managed to make the Vietnamese Spring Roll myself. It is delicious.

Mama Bunga’s Macaroni Schotel

During her pregnancy, my sister, Jq, craves for Macaroni Schotel. She asked me for the recipe, but I didn’t have any. I then remembered how my mother-in-law used to make Macaroni Schotel. The one that I remembered very vividly was the time when Arman’s late grandpa celebrated his birthday. My mother-in-law was so dearly, considering Arman’s late grandpa’s diabetic condition, she made a Macaroni Schotel instead of sweet birthday cake for him. That way, he could make a wish and blow a candle. So a few days ago, I called her and asked her for the recipe. I have modified the original recipe by eliminating slices of ham and corned beef and replacing sweet condensed milk with sugar. This is really good, I can imagine how it would be more tasty with slices of ham and corned beef. Andrew likes this too.

Spam Cheese Egg Roll

I still have 6 egg roll wraps left after I made the Cilantro Pork Mushroom Egg Roll. So I decided to use some spam meat and cheese.

Cilantro Pork Mushroom Egg Roll

Lately, I am just really into egg rolls. So today, I made 2 different type of egg rolls. This first one uses pork meat with mushroom and cilantro. The other one uses spam and cheese. I made a lot of them, so I can store the finished wrapped egg rolls into the freezer and then thaw and fry them for quick appetizer.

Stuffed Egg Roll

I’ve been craving for egg roll these past few days, so today I made some myself. I used the rice noodle, chicken and mushroom inside the egg roll.

Tempeh Orek Miss Cen Cen

Tempeh, one of the most popular food in Indonesia, is the main ingredient of my recipe today. The original recipe came from a good girlfriend of mine, Cen Cen, the most stylish and smart young mommy with two most fashionable sons. Thanks for emailing this recipe to me. When I first introduced this dish to Andrew, he loves it so much. As expected by Cen Cen, I have modified the recipe a bit, since I don’t have some of the ingredients here. I have also modified the wording of tempe to tempeh as listed on Wikipedia.

Al’s Devilled Eggs

My good friend in San Francisco, Al, likes to make this yummy Devilled Eggs. He brought them once to my Graduation BBQ Picnic at the Golden Gate Park and within a few minutes they were all gone. They are so good that I begged him to share me the recipe. Now, I don’t have to fly down to San Francisco to taste your famous Devilled Egg. Thank you, Al! I copied and pasted the instructions from Al’s email. See below:

Chicken Noodle with Wonton (Mie Ayam Pangsit)

Every once in a while, my parents, especially my dad, likes to make the Chicken Noodle with Wonton. The noodle is also made from scratch. But here today, I will use ready fresh/dried noodle or rice stick, you can also use your favorite noodle (egg noodle, rice noodle, etc). See my recipe below:

Fried Shrimp Ball

This is another experimental recipe. Turn out quite good, although I still like my Deep Fried Meatball better. Andrew ate 6 pieces of this after his lunch of rice and celery pork and 3 sugar cookies.

Honey Glazed Lemon Chicken

I started making this dish when I was in college. Personally, I think this recipe goes a lot better with chicken wings. But since I don’t have chicken wings right now, I decided to use the chicken thighs.
