There's actually dozens if not hundreds of recipes on how to make this popular Vietnamese Crispy Roasted Pork Belly dish but today we are using my dad’s techniques, the vinegar and refrigerator drying out method. I didn't want to spend hours in front of the oven so we’ll be using my air fryer method & recipe since because it’s quick (about 45 min) and it turned out super crispy!

Did you know that one small takeout rice container like shown is like 2 cups of rice (aka fried rice gold)? It’s perfect for making a generous portion of fried rice like shown.  This rice was almost a week old and it still tasted amazing fried up (always use at least 1 day old, cold, rice).

You might have guessed it from it's name but these delicious noodles originated in Shanghai. This was one of my favorites because for over 13 years I traveled to China for work as a vegetarian. Surprisingly, this popular noodle dish uses only a few household ingredients but it sure does packs in a lot of flavor. Slow-frying and browning the spring onions in oil until crispy infuses the noodles with a very rich savory sauce packed with lots of umami & onion yumminess!

Do you like Chinese style sweet and sour chicken? Well this recipe is sure to please and replaces the chicken with a plant based substitute, golden oyster mushrooms!

These mushrooms are dredged in a flour/egg batter and then deep fried to perfection for that extra crispy crunch. The wet batter creates a nice doughy crust that makes it more fluffy while the chewiness of the oyster mushrooms gives you that mock chicken texture!

This Japanese Shoyu Ramen was created with a homemade shoyu broth using dried shitake mushrooms and some aromatics.

Did you know that ‘Shoyu’ means soy sauce in Japanese? So simply translated, shoyu ramen, is basically ramen with a soy sauce-based broth. The broth is beautifully clear and brown colored and full of umami richness that it’s great without any chicken or beef stock, making it very vegetarian friendly!

Also known as ramen eggs, these soy eggs are typically marinated in a simple solution of soy sauce and mirin- a MUST HAVE for any decent ramen dish! Featured: Mora Ceramic & Mud Australia bowls.

This cold bean sprout dish is perfect for the summer time!

A simple blanch and quick garlic stir fry makes this dish complete in less than 10 minutes! ❤️

Thit Nuong- Sometimes I like my bbq pork served in a rice noodle bowl with fish sauce and sometimes I like them real sticky and sauce’y and served with rice.Sauce’y tip: save the juices meat marinade and simmer for a few minutes, reserve the sauce, and brush mid grilling or cooking and/or lather on upon plating for extra sticky & sauce’y pork chops🤤!

Quickie ramen- When the perfect egg meets perfect timing!

Is there anything better than a flavorful soy egg with the perfect runny/jammy yolk in your ramen?

Quick ramen with blanched mustard greens, a few slices of char sui pork, and those pre-made perfect soy eggs (Trung Ngam Tuong).

I’ve been eating and testing a lot of recipes lately so I’m going to adopt Meatless Monday’s to dedicate to vegetarian and/or vegan meals!Are you a team “tonkatsu” or chicken “katsu”? I used to love ordering this at Japanese restaurants all the time but this time I wanted to make something similar but with tofu!
