Jjampong 짬뽕. This is the much loved Korean spicy seafood noodle soup. As I continue to indulge in Korean drama on Netflix, my love for Korean food (as I watched the characters eat all the yummy delicious food) grows. Jjampong was the favourite of the characters in, “It’s okay not to be okay”. If you haven’t seen this, I would strongly recommend it. As much as I love meat, seafood…
Butternut Squash Risotto
This is a very heartwarming family dish in my opinion. It’s one those family favourites that bring everyone together. Best made in Autumn when butternut squash are in abundance. Of course, this is not just a simple Butternut Squash Risotto, it oozes warmth, a proper comfort food. It’s one you would make on a rainy day or on a day when you need a warmth and love. It contains 100%…
Spicy Pork Bulgogi
Also known as Jeyuk Bokkeum or Dweji Bulgogi, this is another one of Korean’s famous dishes. As you know, I am really into Korean drama, Korean food and the Korean language at the moment. Bulgogi is the second most famous food in Korea, so it has to be done..here’s my take on Korean Spicy Pork Bulgogi. It is really easy to make and can all be done in under 15…
Kon Loh Mee 干捞面 Saucy Noodles with Char Siu Pork and Wanton Dumplings
This is yet another childhood favourite. You can have wanton noodles soupy or dry and this is the dry version. With this noodle dish, the important part is getting the sauce right. Char Siu Pork is easy to make. Check out my Char Siu Pork recipe if you haven’t already. Wanton Dumplings require a little practice but all doable to create a wondrous food adventure or a food memory. You…
Orecchiette with Ragu and Melting Mozzarella
I love pasta, who doesn’t? Orecchiette or ‘little ears’ pasta are perfect for scooping up the sauce. A simple pasta dish can really stand out with a good sauce, cooked to perfection (al dente of course) and of course cheese. Adding Mozzarella with this pasta dish simply brings the dish alive. Try it at home if you don’t believe me! Ingredients (serves 4) 500g Orecchiette Pasta 2 cans of plum…
EDIT YOUR LIFE
By Margaux Welcome to my blog. Join me in my journey of rediscovering my passions, my life, the meaning of my life, my needs, my wants and me of course. Yes, it’s all about me (and you). Rediscovering yourself is essential. As I entered my forties, there are numerous challenges and changes, enough to muddle me a little. Midlife crisis indeed. It is normal to have pressure, strain and stress,…
Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage (腊肠炒饭)
Chinese Sausage or Lap Cheong (腊肠) are cured smoked and sweet sausages made with pork seasoned with soy sauce, rose water and rice wine originally from China. You can get them from Chinatown quite easily and one of my favourite brands is Wing Wah from Hong Kong. This is one of the under 15 minutes meal I love to cook and my boys love. They can never get enough of…
Good Food
With Margaux in her London Home Kitchen Food is sustenance to the body, turning it into fuel for living but food is so much more than that. Food is an experience, food is family, food is sharing, food is love, food is kindness, food is taste, food is excitement, food is enjoyment, food is happiness, food is joy. Food is what I live for. I live to eat. I am…
Braised Duck Noodle
This is a great way of using up any leftovers from your roast duck. Check out my Cantonese Roast Duck recipe if you haven’t already. The only leftovers in our house are usually the duck wings and bones. The duck bones I usually make them into a stock for other usage, or use them as a base to cook Chinese rice porridge (congee). Now, duck wings are always great for…
Char Siu – Chinese Roast Pork
This is definitely a popular dish in the house. My youngest particularly can just have helpings after helpings of rice and char siu pork, that will keep him happy and full! For Char Siu, I usually use pork fillet but sometimes, I would use boneless pork chops as I find it is more flavoursome with that bit of fat! I don’t always use the red colouring, therefore my Char Siu…
Cantonese Roast Duck
This is one of our family’s favourites. My boys love my Cantonese roast duck. I usually prepare it the night before so the duck is marinated for at least 24 hours. There are many recipes out there, but I find that this is one of the easy ones and it’s of course tried, tested, tweaked and tasted. Ingredients (serves 6) 1 duck 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1…
