Thai Olive Rice

Sun, 25 May 2008 06:16:31 +0100

I used a cast iron wok to fry my rice. Cast iron cookware is entirely awesome. You know in those demonstrations they show for those impossibly delicate omelettes that simply slide off expensive non-stick cookware? Ha. I achieve the same thing with my $14 cast iron wok! Maintenance is a breeze…

Fancy-pants Ham and Cheese Sandwich

It's not rocket science salad

Tue, 20 May 2008 07:55:59 +0100

This is almost too simple to post, but thought I'd do it anyway since it's one of my favourite combinations. It also makes a great side salad, because the clean appearance and flavours will not distract from the main dish.

I love strong flavours so rocket is one of my favourite…

Fresh egg pasta

Sat, 17 May 2008 22:18:41 +0100

This is quite a large batch. I had to use a whole 1 kg packet of flour at a time because I don't have a weighing machine at the moment. I don't mind because then on my Pasta Day I make a huge batch which I freeze and use when…

Grilled stuffed tofu pok with rojak sauce

Sat, 17 May 2008 21:01:05 +0100

The dish can be eaten cold or straight from the barbeque. It makes a good appetizer. I pretty much drown my puffs in sauce when I eat it!

Tofu pok is deep fried tofu. It is also known as "tofu puffs". Get largish ones as they are easier to stuff. Avoid the ones…

Cream of mushroom soup

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 03:40:52 +0100

I had to get rid of the mushrooms in my fridge and the other ingredients leftover from my pumpkin soup so I made this :) Oh and it's freezing and rainy and cold here in Melbourne, so nice hot soup goes down well~ 1. Dice mushrooms into chunky cubes. Vary…

Pumpkin soup with butter button 'shrooms

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 02:49:05 +0100

Dish inspired by yongfook's broccoli soup recipe, which I would link to except I can't figure out how to put in links (normal html doesn't work) Soup: 1. Wash and cut pumpkin into pieces. Leave the skin on; the flesh closest to skin is the tastiest. 2. Put in baking…

Grilled eggplant and avocado mini burger

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 07:03:28 +0100

I was actually going to just use up my leftover grilled eggplant on a toasted roll, bruschetta style for a late night snack. Then I thought "I really have to make more of an effort, then I can post it up on OSF!". (me=lame-o) But my photography sucks so I…

Rocket and Ricotta Pie

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 22:52:24 +0100

My family recently acquired a set of Lodge Logic cast iron pans. And they are AWESOME. We adjust our menus so that we always use them XD. The heating is even and really strong, or something. Whatever it is stir fries taste better and has that "wok flavour" you get…

Jamie's Caesar Salad

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 08:49:26 +0100

I pretty much got this off the episode on salad on Jamie Oliver's TV series "At Home With Jamie" (I think). Well, it's based on my memory of the recipe, but it can't be that far off. I've tweaked it to my preferences. If you're too lazy to make the…
