Soupy Stewy Things
Stuffed Cabbage (Because it’s Cabbage Season)
The wind is just howling out there. Last night, I was kept up until the uncivilized hours by the noise of it just whipping around the building, slamming against the balcony that juts out, catching on the corner. Being on…
Made in Jiānádà: Lanzhou Lāmiàn (broth!)
This is part 2 in my noodle series. Part 1 (the hand pulled noodles) is here. This is quite possibly the best broth in the whole universe. Except, perhaps, for a fine Tom Yam with all the bark and twigs…
Made in Jiānádà: Lanzhou Lāmiàn (noodles!)
This is Part 1 in a series on Lanzhou noodles. Part 2 (the broth) is here. This one has been a long time coming. Seriously. This dish is quite possibly the one thing we have eaten the most of in…
Caldo Xochitl Tom Ka Gai (the Chicken Soup Remix)
This one started out as just a sauce, intended to use up the tin of coconut milk that had been hanging out in our cupboard for at least the past six months. The recipe had promised me a multitude of…
Chicken Soup Cure for Sino Black Lung

Spicy 卡罗来纳州 Style Crock-Pot Pulled Pork
I should preface this one by noting that I’m sick today. Part cold, part sore throat, part achy dopiness. Which is why I kind of screwed up some key parts of this recipe. If you look below at the recipe,…
شىنجاڭ Uyghur Irish Stew
Now this one…this one’s going to be a search engine disaster in the making. It may also be the one that gets me pushed over the proverbial edge of the Great Firewall. Sorry. This stew is technically a basic Irish…
Autumn’ish Roasted Garlic and Pumpkin Soup
This one is technically a two-parter, as I made the soup at the same time as I threw together the Xinjiang Irish stew. The stew will come later. I don’t want to confuse everyone with too many different things under…
Niúròu Biryani in a Wok, 中国烹饪风格
So I’m cheating a bit on this one. I have a secret weapon. A secret Canadian weapon. A secret, um, Surrey, BC, weapon. Which is also, technically, an Indian weapon. Or Pakistani, depending on which one I use. My aunt…
