Napa Cabbage Cream Penne

January 30, 2011

I believe different types of dish has the power to change how people feel. When it’s hot and sunny outside, the cool crisp salad tastes extra refreshing. Personally, whenever the weather is cold and raining I always crave some comfort food. This easy to prepare cream penne pasta will quickly warm you up. It’s easy and simple but it tastes goooood! My kids had seconds or thirds and they both said “Hmmmm it’s yummy!!” Think bacon, pasta, cabbage, and cheese broiled in the oil.

January 23, 2011

You’ve probably enjoyed bean sprout namul as an appetizer dish in Japanese or Korean BBQ restaurants. It’s is very simple to make and only takes 15 min. My husband does not like the taste of raw bean sprout but he loves this dish.

Sweet Onion Takikomi Gohan

January 21, 2011

Takikomi Gohan is a Japanese rice dish seasoned mainly with soy sauce. We have different kinds of mixed rice depending on seasons, and we put chestnuts, bamboo shoots, Matsutake (very expensive mushrooms), and so on. My kids love rice, so I like to mix different kinds of vegetable in it, and sometimes meat. Instead of having a bowl of white rice, we eat Takikomi Gohan along with main dish.
