Cheatin’ Pekin’ Duck
This is my “cheating” Peking duck recipe that only uses duck breast instead of the whole bird. Normally Peking Duck requires a lot of specialized equipment that I don’t have, won’t ever have, and/or can’t fit into an apartment. While I don’t condone the dilution of traditional methods, this recipe was born out of sheer desperation during college and then shared during COVID-19 quarantine.
Pork & Kimchi Dumplings
The flavor combination of pork, gochujang (sweet & a tiny bit spicy), kimchi (tangy), and sesame oil (umami) make these dumplings super juicy and delicious!
Victoria Sponge Cake
The Victoria Sponge Cake was one of Queen Victoria’s favorite sweets and we can credit her for making afternoon tea with sweets and formal affair.
Roseberry Jam
Roseberry Jam is a beautiful jam made with raspberries and/or strawberries and lightly scented with rosewater for a fragrant and floral twist.
Black Sugar Panna Cotta
Panna Cotta is a delicate and creamy Italian dessert, directly translating to “cooked cream”. My “accidentally vegan” version is light and simple with just coconut milk, a little vanilla, and a sprinkle of sugar. Paired with the black sugar syrup it tastes a little like a Tiger Sugar / milk tea dessert.
Egg Katsu Sando
A copycat recipe of the Shake Shack x Dominique Ansel collab! A light and fluffy egg patty, coated and fried with panko, sandwiched between Japanese milk bread.
Fiskesuppe
Fiskesuppe is a Norwegian fish stew that is 1000 x’s better than a traditional clam chowder.
