Here is a delicious side dish from Korea that really shines. I had some baby bok choy available and found this recipe from KimchiChick, which really intrigued me. It seems so simple and it looks incredible. So, I made it and enjoyed it with glass noodles and stir-fried chicken breast. I let this dish be the primary flavor and wow, what flavor! I will definitely make this again… and soon!

Tonight, I made a new dish for my wife, who had never had swordfish. Well, Trader Joe’s makes that easy to solve so I came up with this mouthful of a meal for her. Using the basics from several ‘miso marinated cod’ recipes to prepare the fish and twisting the final dish by serving it on a bed of rice vermicelli in a miso broth with bok choy and shiitake just to create a unique, yet simple meal. Marinating the fish was made easier with my Vesta Precision Vertical Vac Elite and it’s Marinate function and vertical stance to make easy work of marinating with liquids when time is not available for the typical ‘several hours to overnight rest’ process…
Are you ready for a flavor-bomb of a meal? This recipe comes from the NYT and is simply amazing. I adapted it based on comments and personal preferences and I think you will really enjoy the results. This dish works well with salmon or any firm-fleshed fish and it also works well with rice or rice noodles. I have even substituted bok choy (as some of the commenters mentioned) for the spinach. Easy to prepare and amazingly flavorful, this dish is great for a weeknight meal. Give your taste buds a warning though as this dish will give them a wonderful jolt!

Let’s start the week with everyone’s favorite Chinese soup – wonton soup. I am going to prepare this soup using my new Uno sous vide device from Creative Cuisine by Grant. This nifty device allows you to use an analog rice cooker or crock pot as the water bath while it controls the temperature for you. In talking with Bob Lamson of Creative Cuisine about sous vide cooking and how their device changes the paradigm, he challenged me to to use sous vide precision to prepare a soup. I was intrigued by the concept and of course, I accepted the challenge. So here we have a fairly simple dish that benefits from gentle cooking to meld the flavors of the broth, but needs an…
Today was a day for experimenting in the kitchen. I decided to make Pho from scratch using the sous vide cooking method. Sounds wild, huh? Well this experiment was fun, challenging, slightly anxiety inducing, and utterly delicious! I won’t post the recipe yet as it needs a bit of refinement, but let’s just say I am already looking forward to my next sous vide pho effort. Here are some photos to whet your appetite for that next effort too! Save…
