My 'Kung Pao' with Chili Threads Fizzle

This is my version of Kung Pao with shrimp instead of chicken and cashews instead of peanuts! Yeah, just put my own spin on a traditional dish.

My newest thrill are these chili threads! When they touch your tongue, they fizzle and the flavor explodes slowly! Very interesting way to deliver spice.


I stir fried a pile of Shanghai baby bok Choy with red bell peppers. Added stir fried Jumbo shrimp and at the last, threw in cashews and those chili threads! Winner!!! A very simple, quick one-dish dinner.

Mui Choy Pork, Bok Choy, Toufu with Tiger Beer!

Foodie friends wanted ideas of how to prepare bok choy prompted me to quickly post this. It was quite a big dinner spread, not my usual one dish dinners. My sister and her hubby were visiting, so I made more of an effort.

Whole bok choy were stir fried with garlic and ginger, then added a tad of broth & let steam fry a little. Stir fried a dish of fresh shitake mushrooms, I wanted it to stand on it's own. I had made mui choy pork in a clay pot the night before, so all it needed was warming up & sprinkle scallions on top. The last dish was to provide a protein dish for brother-in-law. Everyone dug into this tasty dish! I stir fried red bell peppers and snow peas and added fried toufu with hoisin sauce. We wolfed all of it, only bit of pork was left. All washed down with ice cold Tiger Beer.

Skirt Steak for Survivor Night

I like to be totally ready when it's Survivor night so I don't miss the recap! My grilled skirt steak with the Stubbs BBQ sauce side is delicious!!! The other night we had the Satay sauce side! Yes, instead of using just one marinade, I decided to use two! I LOVE pulling things together and make into a whole new dish! I added a few marinated toufu cubes & topped with my radish, carrot pickle to kick it up with crunch & a little sour hit to wake up the dish! (note: I did not warm pickles, no.)

Oops, I thought hubby said he was late, so I decided to eat first!
