Xôi Lạp Xưởng - Sticky Rice with Chinese Sausages

Last week, we both wanted breakfast food; that was how I remembered this particular breakfast dish that I used to have when I was living in Saigon.

Beef Salad started the weekend

We had asked each other throughout the day about planning for dinner. I was not in the mood to cook any fancy stuff and Moon felt the same way. When I got home from work this afternoon, Moon suggested that we make our favorite salad for dinner. I was happy that she picked it because I felt the night is calling for a beef salad also. :-) It is an easy dish to make, and it took us less then 30 mins from start to end. Moon is happy and stuffing herself to the last bit of beef salad. I learned how to make it from my Thai friends and I changed a few ingredients to suit my taste.

Kimchi Stir Fried Rice & Cold Cucumber Soup with Seaweed

Today I made one of my favorite summer dish, cold cucumber soup. It's a perfect dish for hot summer days. Cucumber and rice vinegar in the soup gives a very refreshing and clean taste. In order to make it extra cold, I dropped a few cubes of ice in the soup. My mom would make this for me often during summer time, and I would drink it in a second! Another favorite dish of mine is kimchi stir fried rice. This is a great dish to get rid of leftover rice and such. As long as you have kimchi and rice, you are good to go! Once you make this you will smell like kimchi stir fried rice from head to toe the whole day, but it tastes fantastic! Who cares what you smell like as long as the food is to die for, right??? :)

Mystery Korean Cookie

This is a Korean cookie I used to eat as a kid (it's more of a dessert to me because it's very sweet), and I spotted it last weekend while Andrea and I were grocery shopping at a Korean market. So I had to grab one. I tried to find out the name of it, but unfortunately I couldn't.. :(

A cool drink for hot summer afternoon
