Pandan Chiffon Cake

< 1 minute readWe discovered pandan cakes in a recent Universal Yums box: it’s green, a little fragrant, and puffy as air. We wanted more, so ordered some pandan powder and searched for a recipe. Found this: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/pandan-chiffon-cake-recipe. I kinda winged it though: recipe said to use fresh pandan leaves, so I instead just soaked a lump of […]

< 1 minute readI mostly followed this recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/25136/chop-suey/ Except I added a can of water chestnuts and a can of baby corn. I bought some BBQ pork from Chinatown today so didn’t bother adding the pork, instead had it meatless and had the meat on the side. Had it two cups of rice. It was pretty popular.

Pumpkin Gnocchi

< 1 minute readBig hit this recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/easy-pumpkin-gnocchi/ I usually double it, use cottage cheese instead of ricotta (because we just have it in hand more often), and use half mozzarella instead of Parmesan which makes it more creamy. Do it with a side of green salad (usually balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and some salt on lettuce) and […]

Argentinian Empanadas

< 1 minute readThis week’s universal Yums box focused on South America, so I decided to try something South American for dinner.
