Crispy Rice & Kimchi Pancakes
I’ve known this since I was a kid learning how to make fried rice in my grandmother’s kitchen. The other day, I saw Carolina Gelen’s take on Ketchup Rice and thought it would be great to recreate a crispy Korean variation with kimchi and gochujang similar to a jeon but without the batter. It's quick to make, and its crispy golden exterior pairs perfectly with a sunny side up egg, making it a hearty meal for any time of day, especially breakfast.
Scallop Coconut Ceviche
If you're like me and not planning to travel abroad this summer, don't worry. You can embark on a culinary journey with a dish that brings the vibrant flavors of Peru right to your kitchen - a limey, coconut ceviche. It's a unique blend that falls somewhere between a ceviche and a tartare but is unequivocally delicious.
Matcha Ichigo Sando
For the second installment of Strawberry Week, I present to you - the Matcha Ichigo Sando. Ichigo means “strawberry” in Japanese. For my version of this classic Japanese snack, I combined matcha-flavored whipped cream with strawberries to make a light but satisfying sweet treat.
Mussels in Chipotle Cream
Mussels in white wine cream sauce but make it Mexican. All praise goes to Chef Gabriela Camera for her lovely, simple interpretation of a delicious seafood dinner.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Holiday season is nearly here. Make these stuffed mushrooms as a last minute appetizer that requires very little prep. They come together in less than an hour.
