This is a recipe for when you’ve been eating WAY. Too. Many. Noodles. It has the bomb flavors of a lemony shrimp dish but with no pasta. For this recipe, you need a spiralizer. This one’s currently a great deal on Amazon.
Shin Ramen, but Make it Kimchi
Some nights you just gotta spruce up some ramen. I have fond memories of Shin Ramen in high school. Study study study and eat some Shin Ramen. Yeah nerd stuff. Here’s a dope way to spruce up our beloved ramen cup.
Best Non Dairy Creamer for Boba
You may be here because of the Chemicals in your Bubble Tea article - or maybe you’re just lactose intolerant. Either way, it’s super hard to find a non-dairy milk substitute for bubble tea that doesn’t taste WEIRD.
Healthy DIY Poke Bowl
One day, I realized I was addicted to poke. I would get it at least once a week. After a visit to Ijji sushi, I started questioning the quality of the fish at poke places. Thinking about it made me feel slightly icky. Paired with the intense bloating from the high sodium poke sauces, I decided to make my own poke bowl at home.
The ingredient list looks intimidating, but I promise it's not hard to make. You can add & leave out ingredients as you please.
Frying Nashville Hot Chicken in a Dutch Oven
I was debating getting air fryer because of all the hype, but after doing some additional research I found out that there are some toaster ovens that do a better job of air frying. I also read that you’re never going to get the same quality as deep fried food from an air fryer. So I felt kinda duped. Anyways - then I started looking into deep fryers.
Deep frying at home is scary, right? I did my research and found that I didn’t want to spend money on a deep fryer LOL. LMAO so one day I read an article that you can deep fry stuff in your Dutch Oven. WHAT. As you all know, I LOVE my Dutch Oven, so I decided to give it a go!

Not Your Mama's Biryani Guide
I talk a big game about biryani, but I've never posted a recipe. Until now.
What is Biryani?
It's a curry infused rice dish. Think of fruit infused water, but better- and spicier.
DUTCH OVEN: Beef Udon Soup
Flavors: Umami, sesame, miso
Can we agree that homemade broth is better? But it takes SO MUCH TIME. I want to the effort of boxed broth with the taste of homemade broth. Is that possible? Kind of- sort of. By using a Dutch Oven, you can spruce up a “meh” broth pretty quickly. The Dutch Oven locks in moisture during cooking and can maintain high heat at lower temperatures.
This is no 8 hr broth, but it’s still bomb & takes 1/8 of the time.
Gluten-Free Kimchi Miso Noodle Soup
I've stopped going to my favorite Japanese Hot Pot place in San Francisco (Shabu House) because I discovered they use MSG in their broth. And I found out in the most distressing way.
Me: This hot pot is especially salty today. Do you think they use MSG?
Friend: No- of course not- I wouldn't come here if they used MSG.
Me: Excuse me (to waitress)- is there MSG in this?
Waitress: (nods fervently)
