Char Siu Pork Eggrolls
Char Siu Pork Eggrolls
rice wrappers with zucchini, cabbage, carrots, bacon, tofu, eggs, chili peppers in them. After they were wrapped, I crisp them up on a griddle to give them some color. Made a savory spicy sauce to drizzle over them.
Mongolian Beef
Ground Beef Bulgogi
Ground Beef Bulgogi
Anything beef is a hit on F4TF and this one was no exception. Cooking the beef till it develops caramelized edges is the treat for sure!

Ground Beef Bulgogi
Bulgogi is my first Korean culinary love and this ground beef version did not disappoint. Everything is chopped small to keep with the ground beef aesthetics.
Tom Kha Gai Soup
Ground Beef Bulgogi
Tom Kha Gai Soup
Tom Kha Gai soup is wonderfully comforting. It can take whatever happens to be on hand as long as you have the soup base, the curry, lemongrass, and coconut milk.
Pad Thai
Vietnamese Summer Rolls
Tom Kha Gai Soup
I have been making this Pad Thai for about 15 years now. Inspired by Poo Khun's Thai Cooking School. This was a huge hit on Friday!

Fridays Part Two
Chinese Eggrolls
Chinese Chicken and Cabbage rolls with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
Korean Street Toast
I always thought you needed to have your head examined if you put ketchup on eggs, but this recipe changed all that, I still cannot believe it!
Chicken Fried Rice
Chicken Fried Rice
Soft, velveted chicken, salty, sweet, and savory flavors, crunchy vegetables, and silky eggs.
Chicken Lo Mein
Breakfast Fried Rice
Chicken Fried Rice
The beauty of this dish is that everything is cooked in its own time, and then the noodles are cooked by themselves. Once they are blistered from the heat of the wok, the sauce is added, and over the next few minutes, the sauce gets soaked up by the noodles.
Gourmet Popcorn
Breakfast Fried Rice
Breakfast Fried Rice
Some Fridays we slow down a little and enjoy homemade popcorn featuring various seasonings: Chinese 5 Spice, Garlic, Salt & vinegar, Hong Kong Chicken.

This one hit all the right spots: bacon, eggs, maple sausage, garlic, ginger, peppers, onions, and hashbrowns in a savory fried rice dish topped with maple syrup-infused French toast. Salty, savory, sweet, perfect. I was told by some of my friends this was their favorite F4T Friday dish yet.

Seared tender beef, Onions, peppers, and bamboo shoots served with tender yet chewy udon noodles translate into Friday comfort food.

Chicken Bacon Fried Rice

Korean/Chinese Taco/Ricebowls
It was a happy mistake when one of the woks got too hot (I know...no such thing!) and scorched the red peppers and broccoli, so they were roasted. That flavor, coupled with the smokey bacon was the bomb!
Sweet and Sour Chicken
