Posting after ages and we had to do it with this beautiful bowl of noodle soup.

It can be intimidating to make these dishes, especially when the recipes call for insane cooking times. Who has the time to prepare a broth that takes 8 odd hours?

So last night, we decided to make an express noodle soup with Vietnamese-inspired flavors. Here's the recipe:

Broth ingredients -
4 whole star anise
1 big stick of cinnamon
1 diced onion
7 cloves of minced garlic
1 piece of minced ginger (around 2 inches)
A handful of baby mushrooms
3 to 4 pieces of bone-in chicken (use wings or neck for the most flavor)
2 litres of beef stock (homemade or cubes)
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
5 tablespoons of fish sauce
Pepper to taste

Preparation:
Saute the whole spices, minced ginger, garlic, and onions till the onions are translucent in one tablespoon of oil on medium heat. Crank up the heat and add the mushrooms and chicken. Let the Maillard reaction do its thing and get them nice and brown. Then add your stock, the soy and fish sauce, and pepper. Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Keep skimming the scum so you get a beautifully clear broth.

After the first round of simmering the broth, strain it and remove all the aromatics. Then put the clear broth back in your pot and let this simmer for another 20 mins.

Meanwhile, prepare your toppings. You can add whatever your heart pleases. We went with spring onions, coriander leaves, lemon wedges, red chillies, and stir fried mushrooms and chicken.

Taste your broth for seasoning and adjust either with fish sauce or more pepper. You won't need a lot of salt.

When it's ready, add your noodles to the bowl, pour this golden liquid, and finish with toppings. 😬

Yes, we know one orange got away from the frame. We'd like to blame our new oven because we mayyy have let the dish slide.

Anyway, this is the perfect dessert when you're hosting loved ones but don't want to spend your time in the kitchen. This is one of our many versions of bread pudding. We use a combination of buns and croissants for texture. We then topped this off with an orange, rum, and chocolate mix and baked it for 30 minutes.

It's insanely gooey with a lovely crust and a beautiful kick from the rum 😋

Happy Hump Day, everyone! To celebrate getting till Wednesday successfully, we treated ourselves to a Banarasi staple, bedmi poor with aloo ki sabzi. We were instantly transported to the bustling lanes of Varanasi.

This is a creation, and he did a fabulous job of giving us the "happy food dance".

We finished this lovely breakfast with a hot cup of elachi chai and are ready to take on the day!

We woke up and chose violence on this beautiful Monday and we've decided to share a spicy take.

Galbi-jjim is infinitely better than boeuf bourguignon. 👀

So we may be partial because of our love for Korean food but this dish is from the gods. It's braised on low heat for a few hours, doesn't need a lot of ingredients, and you end up with the most succulent meat that literally falls off the bone.

We used 's recipe and we're obsessed with how well this turned out.

PS: Someone photobombed this because she couldn't resist the aromas.

Casseroles have been a thing in our family for years. Everyone has their own version of this dish and this is one of ours.

We layer seared chicken thighs and breast with steamed cauliflower and broccoli and stir fried mushrooms and spinach. We then top it off with a bechamel and bake it in the oven for 35 minutes and grill it for 10.

If you want a vegetarian version, you can replace the chicken with paneer, tofu, or just add more veggies to the mix.

For vegans, you can make the bechamel with olive oil, flour, dairy-free milk like almond or soy, and seasonings of your choice!

If you don't know your way around a kitchen and keep falling back on Maggi, here's an easy recipe for you!

First, buy yourself some noodles (wheat or gluten free). If you have Maggi noodles, that works too!

Finely chop garlic, green onions, and ginger, and cook them for a few minutes with some oil. Once they're aromatic, add in some chilli flakes. Cook this down till the oil in your pan gets that gorgeous red color.

Then add in your noodles, season with pepper and salt, and some soy sauce. We added Thai seasoning sauce to this one.

You can finish it off with a jammy egg, greens, or even grilled tofu.

Another weekend, another round of trying new recipes. The other day, we found .house.spice and fell in love with their food.

One dish that caught our eye was the steamed cabbage rolls. You use Chinese cabbage and tuck them with minced chicken, aromatics, and shiitake mushrooms. After a short sauna in the steamer, these babies are ready to be devoured with a quick sauce.

We modified the sauce a bit, using a prawn head and tail extract.

Would definitely recommend trying out this recipe!

If you've ever had Ping G*i, you'll know why it's the perfect food for Sunday. After you've demolished a plate, all you'll want to do is nap HARD.

Ping G*i is grilled but we had these beautiful chicken thighs with the skin on and we just had to crisp them up.

So we turned the marinade into a sauce, and then braised the seared thighs in it to finish cooking them off.

We still had the crispy skin and the exploding flavors of Laotion food. It was the perfect Sunday lunch.

It's difficult testing and experimenting in the kitchen these days and now we find ourselves cooking simple home food.

Over the weekend, decided to pull us out of this rut and prepare the most delicious Cuban meal for our family. The prep took two days but the end result was absolutely worth it.

Pictured is Mojo Chicken, a dish typically made with pork, grilled to perfection and dressed with fresh and grilled slices of citrusy goodness.

In the second picture, we topped it off with the mojo reduction and we devoured this chicken with a simple aglio e oilo, Cuban style!
