Hungry?
Pulled Mushroom Taco
No meat? No problem! Try out this plant based recipe! The texture between pulled mushrooms and meat is so similar, you can’t tell the difference in one bite.
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!
Mayak “Drug” Eggs
If you’re bored of having boiled eggs as they are, give this a go. It’s an easy protein source to have on hand.
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!
Smoky Avocado Cheese Dip
Here’s a dip to serve at midday, to use as a spread for your sandwich, or to have as a snack to accompany an aperitif! You’re definitely going to want to make some homemade tortilla chips to go with it (recipe below!)
Roasted Red Pepper Dip (Muhammara)
Muhammara is a dip/spread that is creamy, smokey, savoury, and slightly sweet at the same time!
Blueberry Crumble Cake
An easy 3-layer Blueberry Crumble Cake (vegan) using soy milk, some baking pantry staples, and frozen blueberries. Great for those new to baking.
Date & Nut Energy Balls
These date and nut energy balls have become my new favourite snack for an afternoon pick-me-up! You only need 6 simple ingredients and they’re soo easy to make.
Curried Chickpeas
Here are some tips on what to look out for when snacking. And if you want to try making your own at home, you can check this recipe out!
Mushroom Soup
Low-effort high-reward, creamy-without-cream mushroom soup that you’d want to keep in your arsenal of go-to recipes!
Asian Guacamole with Wanton Crisps
Get your hands on some avocados and whip up this super simple and delicious Japanese-Inspired Guacamole served with crispy gyoza skins!
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.
Lychee Mint Cooler
Pukka has just launched their new green tea range that uses matcha grown in Jeju-Do, a World Heritage Site in South Korea. I’ve created some recipes with the delicious range, and here is one using the Mint Matcha Green.
Cashew Cream Breakfast Bowl
If you’re into cold western-style breakfasts but don’t stomach dairy very well early in the morning, this cashew cream bowl would be a great option for you.
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.
Flourless Mocha Cake
When I go for coffee-flavoured cakes, I like it REALLY tasting like coffee. But most out there don’t really hit the spot for me. So I finally got down to working out a recipe that ticked all the boxes for me.
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!
