No-Bake Chocolate Cookies

The easiest no-bake cookies you need to make, especially for those of you who receive house guests! Think of the traditional cornflake cookie, but in a chewy-crunchy form, and much quicker to make. They’re also a source of protein and fibre, and tastes super chocolatey!

Japanese Egg Sando

Growing up, I never liked egg sandwiches. Today though, I’m a massive fan of the dish. But I require two conditions: 1. The bread has to be freshly toasted – and the thicker the better. 2. The mayo has to be Kewpie, or I’d give it a hard pass!

Vegetarian Ramen

Dishes like ramen usually take a lot of time and effort to make, especially if you want to achieve a rich and creamy broth. Here’s a quick trick that requires no meat bones, and only 30 mins of your time. I know, I too thought it was too good to be true, especially with the amazing flavours it yielded! For the effort it takes, I’d even say it trumps traditional ramen broths.

Tropical Zest Mocktail

What better thirst quencher than coconut water, and what better way to flavour it than with some of our best local herbs. I paired it with Pukka’s Mint Matcha Green for the cooling effect from the spearmint, which I find is also a great decongestant.⁣

Gratin De Crepes (Stuffed Baked Crepes)

This was one of my favourite recipes made over the Circuit Breaker (read: lockdown) period. It requires at least 1 pot, 1 pan, and 1 baking dish (which is a lot for Ms One-Pot Meal here), but the recipe is simple, and the results are incredibly rewarding – so rewarding that it justifies all the dishes you whipped out.

Black Sesame Cookies

I wanted to have a more Asian-profiled cookie in my arsenal that wasn’t just a sweet cookie, so I decided to make one with black sesame seeds, which is one of my favourite Asian dessert flavours — the decision between peanut vs black sesame tang yuans (stuffed glutinous rice balls), or matcha vs black sesame ice cream is always an easy one!

Kale Pesto

Pesto: greens + nuts + cheese + nuts + acid + oil. I rarely make pesto the traditional way using basil and pine nuts, because I don’t have them casually lying around, and I like to make things with what I have at home – so today its kale and walnuts!
