I haven’t baked bread or buns for a while now. Baking usually takes up the whole of my afternoon, which could be time well-spent on other necessary house chores nowadays. But this recipe on Pinterest had to keep showing up on my Pinterest homepage – Buchteln – bread made of milk and butter, with apricot jam hidden within. Hmm… sounds like a must-do this Christmas season!
It was the Christmas season in Vienna, Austria; the weather was freezing cold and windy. But it was there that we ate our first authentic Schnitzel. The guy ordered his plate of Schnitzel and gosh was it humongous (I meant the piece of meat). Most Schnitzels are actually, unlike mine in this attempt.
Ok, maybe it was just about twenty layers of crepe in this cake, but it was definitely made with an infinite volume of love. This cake was prepared for my hub on the day of his birthday. I spent a crazy amount of time making this just for him. I’m declaring this over here just so he knows haha…
This is one of my most favourite Chinese side dishes to go with plain rice. The gravy is simply thick and yummy; the pork slices, if cooked correctly and nicely, are juicy and chewy and soft to the bite.
Teriyaki chicken is one of the most popular and common dishes among the local food fare, a typical Japanese dish we love to order at the local Japanese restaurants. The word ‘teriyaki’ refers to a method of grilling or broiling seafood or meat using a sweet and thickened glaze. This glaze usually contains honey and/or sugar, as well as light soy sauce and mirin. What results is a shiny, sweet, sticky and sometimes burnt (yum!) effect and taste, making it a great side dish to have with plain rice and vegetables.
