Mountain Trout Summer Rolls, Vietnamese Summer Rolls

A few months ago I received an email from Kim and Hong of Ravenous Couple on joining June’s Delicious Vietnam #2 posting. The purpose of this round up of posts “is to celebrate the awesomeness and diversity of Vietnamese cuisine.” Since I already posted a pho recipe a while back, Mrs. Taing’s Family Pho, for my submission I wanted to make my second favorite Vietnamese dish, summer rolls…

Fresh Tuna Bibimbap

Whenever I think about Korean food, I can’t help but be transported back to my college years of standing in line in front of a white Korean lunch truck outside Temple University’s SAC building and just waiting, waiting, and more waiting. If you wanted to grab something fast to eat between your classes, this was not the place to order. What it was though, was a good change of pace from the usual college…

I was completely surprised and thrilled when Bee from Rasa Malaysia asked if I would be interested in guest blogging on her blog. Of course I said YES! Rasa Malaysia is one of my favorite food blogs on the web. Bee always has the most drool worthy photos and recipes. Most importantly to me, many of the Chinese recipes, such as Lobster Yee Mein (Lobster Noodles) and Three Cups Chicken, she post on her site are dishes I grew up eating and always wanted to make. So please be sure to check out my guest post, Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow/虾饺), over at Rasa Malaysia!

Miso Kochujang Salmon

Last week, I felt like I had one of those weeks where it was great one minute but next it turned into crap. It’s times like these when I find the most comfort in cooking. It clears my head and forces me to focus on something else. This week more than ever I just needed to cook. What to make though to lighten my spirits? Althought this wasn’t the first thing that popped in my mind, but when it did it brought a smile on my face. It must be something sweet right? Nope. Maybe it’s a rich and meaty dish I’m craving? Nope. The key to my happiness is salmon!

So I was getting ready to sleep last night (hmm…maybe more like early in the morning since it was 2am), about to turn off the TV when what do I see on screen, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel. Not usually a regular viewer of the show but I had to watch it this time. He was visiting my birth city, Guangzhou, China! More on that and my Monday night dinner below.
