Easy Shrimp Curry

June 14, 2021 by Lindsay 2 Comments

This delicious shrimp curry features coconut milk, fish sauce, and lots of lime juice for brightness. This is a curry shrimp recipe that's done in just 30 minutes, aka the perfect weeknight seafood dinner! Pair this with plain white rice or naan for dipping and sopping up all the creamy curry sauce.

Ohhhh curry, how I love you. It's no secret that we are highly obsessed with all kinds of curry, and a yellow curry with coconut milk appears a few times per month on our dinner rotation.

I often see curry recipes with a bunch of chopping, starting with garlic, ginger, jalapeno, and green onion. I LOVE starting curries with that flavor combination, but wanted to do a quick version using dried and jarred flavors to save time and effort.

This shrimp curry recipe is super easy thanks to coconut milk and yellow curry, and the result is a 15-20 minute curry that tastes like tons of effort without any actual effort. Shrimp cooks in 3 minutes or less, and with some storebought naan this can truly be dinner in under half an hour.

Pan Fried Tofu with Thai Peanut Sauce

April 8, 2021 by Lindsay 2 Comments

Our 100% favorite plant-based weeknight dinner that we eat at least every other week! Perfect spicy peanut sauce (make it in advance!), crispy pan fried tofu, and slaw with whatever greens you have make for the most delicious vegan rice bowl dinner that is healthy and comforting.

I don't think I've ever said this about anything before (I probably have), but this is hands down our favorite dinner.

We have other things that we love, other things that are in regular rotation, for sure, but this is our dinner. One that we've tweaked and crafted over the years and every time we have it we kind of sink into this "it's healthy but comforting" haze of joy.

Just like the kind you find on hibachi plates, Japanese sweet carrots to level up your homemade Japanese fusion food! Make these super easy sweet glazed carrots a meal with my favorite hibachi steak, hibachi shrimp, and hibachi vegetables!

Close up japanese sweet carrots sprinkled with sesame seeds.

More hibachi! This time my favorite little nibbly side dish, the sweet carrots that come on the side of hibachi meals, mainly of the takeout variety.

15 Minute Hibachi Steak

January 26, 2021 by Lindsay 11 Comments

Steak in just 10 minutes! This recipe for hibachi steak has just 6 ingredients and cooks in about the same amount of time it takes to steam some rice. I use sirloin steak cubes for a super affordable option, but this is also delicious with ribeye steak.

YEAH YEAH YEAH!! ..is my reaction to hibachi steak bowls early in the week in January.

Since the dawn of this blog (you're like, calm down), hibachi recipes and Asian-fusion recipes have been some of our favorites to make, and your favorites to read. The top recipes of all time (and, kind of by a lot) are hibachi shrimp and spicy crab salad (like in sushi!), and honestly they're some of my favorites too.

I think with the hibachi method in general, the hot pan + quick cooking nature of things make them really attractive to us: real people trying to feed our families good food in a reasonable amount of time.

This easy gf crispy orange chicken recipe features pantry ingredients, a glossy sauce, orange juice for sweetness, and ginger and broccoli for a super easy weeknight takeout-at-home dinner. You'll love this sticky, crispy, gluten free Chinese dinner!

Hell. O. Pan. Try. Meal.

Cue all of the "in these trying times..." phrases BUT GUESS WHAT I made this months ago for a magazine I write for and it only is just now making it to your eye balls.

I can see the future, basically? OR, more likely, the best recipes are the kind that work all the time, even in pandemics.

What we have here is: A crispy chicken dealio, made gluten free because cornstarch, PLUS the cornstarch makes the chicken EXTRA crispy without any overly annoying breading, you're welcome for that.

Then we have a glossy sauce with orange juice, ginger, soy sauce, and stock. Broccoli for balance. Rice for ... more balance.
