When I first read about the launch of the special Nasi Lemak Burger by a popular fast food chain in Singapore 2 weeks ago, I was intrigued but not that interested because I’ve always liked my food in their original form (I’m boring I know). X, on the other hand, was quite interested to try…

Korean Spicy Stir-Fried Pork 돼지불고기 (Dwaejibulgogi) and Seaweed Soup 미역국(Miyeokguk)
Today I’m sharing not one… but two Korean recipes that I like making these days – an addictive, delicious and spicy stir-fried pork and a nutritious seaweed soup. We had these two dishes with rice and homemade kimchi, which was so, so satisfying. I took only about 1 hour to make both dishes and the rice, which…
Doenjang Jjigae (Fermented Soybean Paste Stew with Chicken and Root Vegetables)
Hello, long time no see everyone! I went back to Singapore for a month in June and laziness got the better of me so I didn’t schedule any posts while I was away, oops! It was a really good and fattening trip – catching up with family and friends and feasting my way through the whole of…
Quick, Easy and Healthy Kimchi Ramyeon
Wait, what? Healthy ramyeon? Yes you didn’t read wrongly! This healthy, homemade kimchi ramyeon does not come from a packet with sachets of dehydrated vegetables and unknown flavourings – yet I assure you that it tastes absolutely delicious and satisfying!
Perfectly Silky Chawanmushi (Japanese Savoury Egg Custard)
And here is the continuation of the previous dashi post! Chawanmushi is a popular Japanese side dish that I made immediately after I made the dashi because it is one of my top favourite Japanese dishes ever. I love how the egg custard is so silky soft, tender and quivers under the slightest pressure. It is also…
Baked Spicy Korean Chicken Drumsticks
These spicy korean chicken drumsticks are soaked overnight in an easy marinade that consists of only 5 ingredients, then baked in the oven until cooked through – a simple and delicious dish to go with a big bowl of carbohydrates (white rice, fried rice, fried noodles are fantastic to go with them!)
Gochujang Beef Steaks
In a few months time, I will be heading back to Singapore for a short visit, and I’m already making a list for the things that I want to bring back, like gochugaru (to make kimchi), soy sauce (sorry Kikkoman, you just taste weird in Chinese dishes), Milo (to replace our depleting stock), the serrated…
Japanese Chicken, Radish and Tofu Stew
I stumbled onto this recipe when I was searching for one to use up my radish and tofu. The ingredients are simple – just sake, mirin, Japanese soy sauce, stock and chicken, but the taste… what a surprise! The broth is light, sweet and so delicious that I couldn’t stop slurping it up! The chicken drumsticks are tender…
Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl)
I am abandoning postponing all the other recipes that are queuing behind to be blogged because this oyakodon simply cannot wait. It’s just out-of-the-world delicious and the reason why I didn’t make it earlier is because I never have dashi stock on hand, which was a required ingredient. But I still don’t have access to dashi…

![Korean Sweet Potato Noodles with Beef [Japchae]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/DSC_6017-320x320.jpg)
I originally wanted to blog about my Taiwan trip, but unfortunately Flickr is down, and since I’ve already uploaded photos for this noodle dish, I shall blog about it instead! Sweet potato noodles are, as its name suggests, made with sweet potato starch. It is different from the transparent cellophane noodles (冬粉) which are made…
