Ginger, Soy and Sesame Noodles

I got this recipe originally from Rachael Ray's Site, a well known figure from Lifestyle Network. Most of the ingredients from the recipe is not popular here so I decided to make a little twist but still maintain the title. I failed to have a honey so I substituted brown sugar and a little water. I also added some carrots and bean sprouts to make it healthier.

Here are the Ingredients: Smooth peanut butter Honey (or Brown Sugar w/ little water) Soy Sauce Sesame oil Grated Ginger Spaghetti, cooked and rinsed under cold water Toasted Sesame Seeds (optional) Bean Sprouts,blanched Carrots, blanched Heat peanut butter over low heat on stove until mushy. Whisk honey and Soy sauce into the peanut butter, then whisk in the sesame oil and the ginger. Toss the spaghetti with the sauce. If you want to get really groovy with the noodles, sprinkle them with sesame seeds. If you want to bump up the crunch factor, add some shredded carrots, scallions, bean sprouts or other veggies.

This dish is super yummy and nutritious too because of the veggies. You can add more veggies that you want as long as you blanch it first. You can also add a little bit sauce it you want. I hope you like this. Don't forget to leave some comments. Until my next dish! See yah!

Corned Beef and Cheese Rice Balls

I got this from Flavors Magazine. It looked so delicious in the picture and it was so easy to do. I had a little bit of problem at first because the rice I made was not so sticky and the original recipe calls for a cubed cheese and rolled into the corned beef. I made a solution for both the problems I had. I added more water in the rice to make it stickier and then cooked the corned beef and cheese together and then rolled in the rice.

Ingredients: Cheese, Grated Corned Beef Rice, cooked Eggs, beaten Japanese Breadcrumbs Cooking oil for deep frying Procedure: Cook the corned beef together with the grated cheese. Get a spoonful of corned beef and wrap with cooked rice. Roll on palms to make even balls. Place each rice ball on a tray liked with baking paper and freeze. When ready to cook, heat oil in pan. While the rice balls are still in frozen state, dip in beaten eggs and roll in Japanese Breadcrumbs. Deep fry rice balls in hot oil until golden brown. You can dip this with garlic sauce or any dip you want.

I tasted sooo delicious and very filling because of the rice. You can use other mixture inside and be inventive. Until my next dish! See yah!

Ham Curry Rice

I got this recipe from "Flavors" magazine and I tried it for the first time. It went well though I added a bunch of curry powder so it tasted a bit spicy. But it was so yummy so I will share the recipe to you:

Ingredients: Cooking oil Curry Powder Cumin Coconut Cream Cooked Rice Green Peas Sweetened Ham, cut into cubes Salt and Pepper to Taste Procedure: Heat oil in wok. Add curry powder, nutmeg, cumin and coconut cream. Mix well. Add cooked rice, green peas and cubed ham. Toss well to combine ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve.

I did not put on the measurements because it is up to your taste. Just a pinch at first will do, then if it doesn't taste right then add a bit more until it is good for you.

I partnered this dish with fatless tocino which is sweet so it contradicts the spiciness of the rice. Until my next dish! See yah!

Pork Chop Spaghetti by RiA

I'm here again for another dish to share with you. This time, a twist of spaghetti which is called pork chop spaghetti. This was the first time I got to cook this and it went very well. I just had a bit problem with the pork, I think I should cook it longer so it will be softer. I got this recipe from my android phone application "recipe". You can also check it out here. These are the ingredients for this recipe:

Ingredients: 1 tbsp · butter 6 shoulder pork chops -- 1/2 inch thick ¼ cup · onion -- chopped 1 can · (15 oz.) tomato sauce 1 spaghetti sauce, packet -- 1 1/2 oz. ¾ to 1 cup water ½ cup · grated parmesan cheese ¼ packages · spaghetti (8 oz.) 1 cup · mozzarella cheese -- shredded 1/4 cup sugar (optional) 1/2 cup ketchup (optional) Procedure: Melt butter in electric skillet. Add pork chops and brown slowly on both sides. Remove from skillet; add onion and saute until tender. Add tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce mix and water. Mix well. Reduce heat to low; return pork chops to skillet, cover and simmer 45 to 55 minutes or until tender. If sauce is too thick, add more water. Stir parmesan cheese into cooked sauce. Meanwhile, prepare spaghetti according to package directions; drain and arrange spaghetti and chops on serving platter. Spoon sauce over all. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over pork chops. Serves 6.

For this recipe, I failed to add in the mozzarella so instead, I used grated Parmesan cheese on top. I also added sugar and ketchup to make it "a pinoy style" spaghetti. It is up to you how you like your spaghetti. If you want a more Italian taste, add more tomato sauce and don't add the sugar.

You can add garlic bread as your side dish for a complete meal. I will add more pasta dishes soon. Don't be afraid to try new recipes instead of the usual. Until my next dish! See yah!
