New Recipe - Asian Braised Cabbage

January 4, 2012 by Lindsay 8 Comments

Happy New Year!

We've been MIA for a few days because we've been busy drinking our faces off and getting ready to both start new jobs!

But, back to the food.

This week I'm going to share with you a few VERY easy Asian recipes that can be mixed and matched to form complete, healthy meals. They're all healthy, light, and fresh - you'll love them! Another great feature of this set of recipes is that they use largely the same ingredients, so if you have a few things on hand you can make a ton of easy Asian food all the time!

Afternoon Snack - Stovetop Popcorn

We're still working on making our Health Kick page full of good food and advice for healthy living, and this is one of my favorite healthy snacks! Popcorn in bulk is CHEAP as all getout, and if you pop it yourself you're saving tons of salt and calories that you'd find in microwave popcorn bags!

Make Your Own Sushi

Yep, you read that right! I am going to now write you a novel about how Japanese people eat hand-rolled sushi when they make it at their house.

They get a lot of crap out, roll it up in seaweed and sushi rice, and eat it.

It's very complicated, I wouldn't expect you to understand.

After I lived in Japan I was lucky enough to study abroad near Osaka and live with a host family that had an AMAZING cook for a mother. She taught me how to make fried rice and lots of other Japanese culinary gems that I'll share with you here! Sushi night was a favorite, and when I moved back my family and I started making it together. It's fun, interactive, and you can make it using whatever you'd like so that your family loves it too!
