Korean Vegetable Pancakes

I saw these on a TikTok but without any quantities. A little Google search later, I’ve got an awesome recipe. This amount makes 3 pancakes the size of my large stainless steel saute pan – which is enough for 4-6 servings, depending on what else you’re eating it with. Dry Ingredients: 1-1/2c flour 2t baking … Read more

Mixed vegetables in oyster sauce

This is another great recipe I got off Woks of Life. It’s so delicious, it tasted good even though I started with pre-cooked leftover turkey meat – ie, meat that wasn’t velveted and a dish without any cooking bits from the chicken. This recipe basically comes down to the sauce – and what an amazing … Read more

Air Fryer Chicken Wings

After perusing TikTok, I decided to try 3 different varieties: Hot Wings Garlic Wings BBQ Wings But after making all these wings, it occurs to me that chicken wings are after all the least desirable part of the chicken. Not much meat and a whole lot of rubbery, fatty skin. To make the most of … Read more

Chicken Birria

Fried Rice

I never order fried rice when I get Chinese carry-out. It seems like a waste of an order or something. But whenever someone else orders it and I try some, I do always like it. Plus I remember that my mom used to make it for us sometimes as a way to use up leftovers … Read more

Chili with Beans and Vegetables

I have another recipe on this website for super-easy chili; but the reason it’s easy is because all the flavor comes from the canned tomatoes. If you don’t have those on hand – or you want to do something a little more homemade – I offer you this recipe, that I got from SpendWithPennies.com. It’s … Read more

Beef (or Chicken) with String Beans

Another incredibly yummy dish from The Woks Of Life. And now that I’ve got a pantry stocked with Chinese essentials, it comes together pretty easily. The most time consuming parts are slicing your steak and prepping your green beans. But even those don’t take that long. LOL Chicken with Green Beans is almost the same, … Read more
