home cookin'

Dang, I should get one of those slow cookers.

We cook a lot at home and only eat outside on Friday nights or Weekends. We usually cook dishes that take 30-45 minutes to do (prepare & cook). Most of the time it's meat + vegetables. We try to experiment and come up with stuff with the ingredients that we have. Rice is a staple food for Asians, but we try to minimize eating rice by having food with lots of flavor. Soup also helps to make you feel full without eating too much.

Last night my wife cooked boiled pork and potatoes, sauteed them in onion, garlic, some cabbage, and mixed the a cup of pork broth with corn starch and soy sauce for the sauce, then some salt and pepper. It was lovely.

How ya doing, buddy?

RR, yeah we have brown rice here, along with several variations of rice (sticky rice, etc.) Brown rice doesn't taste the same as white rice though, but they say it's healthier than white rice (I'm not sure why). But it's still rice so I'm trying to avoid it as much as I can.

Also, coconut milk is also a pretty nice way to add flavor and texture to your vegetables. I grew up in a town in Philippines where almost all dishes are cooked with coconut milk and chili, so I'm partly biased to it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
