I couldn’t decide between two openers for this post, so this is now a choose your own adventure blog.
OPTION 1:
I think it would be easy to reduce crime if you told people that heaven were like dining at Orange Shabu.
OPTION 2:
I HAVE HAD WAGYU BEEF SHABU SHABU: BEHOLD MY WORKS YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps
It’s hard to follow up Monsieur Georges’ decadent posts, but I’ll try!
Chicken lettuce wraps are one of those dishes which I can never remember the origin of – are they really anywhere close to “authentic” asian food, or is PF Chang’s overpriced asian fusion menu responsible for them? A quick Google search yielded no concrete [...]
Chinese Lion Heads
This is a super delicious dish that my mom likes to make from time to time. I love it because it has a bit of everything – protein, fiber, carbs, etc. – all stewed together until delicious and flavorful. It makes use of almost every standard Chinese ingredient that you can think of, so it [...]
Chinese Sticky Rice
Warning: In the spirit of a Spartan-level attention to detail, I have included every ingredient that went into this dish. I apologize in advance to the squeamish.

Chinese barbecue sea cucumber
Spaghetti with meat sauce
Chinese sticky rice
Chinese beef noodle soup (thick noodles, please!)
Pizza (any kind except NY thin [...]
Miso & Rice & Experiments with Creme Brulee
This is less a recipe than a concept and chance simply to post.

Hot & Sour Soup
No more puns, only soup. *sigh*
Ass ass ass.
Once upon a time, there was a pig. And that pig done growed up all fatty and delicious on the inside. Did you know that farm grown pigs have to live in hermetically sealed pig pens now? They cannot romp around in the mud and get saved by charmingly literate spiders or anything. Nothing can [...]
Asian Food Bonanza!

- Cold sesame noodles (like the dumpling place in Cville)
- Asian oily rice
- Scallion pancakes
- Winter melon soup
- There’s a daikon soup out there that my [...]
Chinese New Year
I have a large family, and every year they cook up a big meal to celebrate Lunar New Year. This is the spread my family cooked.
It included some odd dishes, like the coca cola chicken. A modern update to an old Chinese recipe of fried chicken. This is simmered using a reduction of coke. Like, [...]
