Recipes

Favorites borrowed from others:

Red lentil coconut soup (introduced to me by none other than Erin Kelly). My personal modifications: substitute vegetable broths with chicken stock, add a touch of turmeric and fresh garlic, and leave the coriander and cumin seeds whole (don’t forget to toast them!). Fun fact: this meal dehydrates really well for backpacking!

Homemade kimchi and kimchi tofu soup. We substitute pineapple juice for the fish sauce in the kimchi, and we also use a 1:1 combo of cayenne and Hungarian paprika in place of Korean pepper powder. Thinly sliced pork or sausage = YUM.

Warm tofu with spicy garlic sauce is really good. I looked up this recipe because I had something similar in China and wanted to recreate it. To spice it up a little, and really bring me back to my days in China, I add a couple Szechuan peppercorns.

Roasted butternut squash soup, a wholesome fall fav originally made for me by my Koala friend Stacy. I’m linking the base recipe, but for my modifications (and a little fall flair), see my blog post.
