I also just wing a lot of my dishes, but the few authentic recipes i have came from my mom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-256963 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:03:08 +0000 Clementine 256963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: thanks! my heart goes out to her husband and her little boy :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-256950 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:00:09 +0000 betsyboop 256950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: i dont. To be honest i found It when i was clicking around her twitter and went to the blog of one of her followers or something like that. I'll try and find it. If i do, i'll post it on your wall :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-256836 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 11:56:40 +0000 Clementine 256836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: nooo....do you have a link to her friend's blog. i don't even know her but i feel like i want closure. i'm so sad for her family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-256777 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 11:34:17 +0000 betsyboop 256777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: I'm 99% sure she passed :( Saw it on one of her friend's blogs.

I'm hoping that she recovered and has been too busy enjoying life to update her blog :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-253122 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:36:11 +0000 Clementine 253122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: i think that's THE BEST hands down korean cooking website, korean cuisine. i wonder if she's passed away that's why she hasn't updated :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-109131 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:02:25 +0000 BSB 109131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Not sure if you are describing the same thing but my mom likes to pre-cook the raw meat in a broth that is in a separate pot. That usually reduces on the murky-ness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-109128 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:59:42 +0000 HabesBabe 109128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://wanderingchopsticks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wanderingchopsticks.blogspot.com/</a> is good for Vietnamese recipes! Although the rest of her entries are kinda weird/boring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-109110 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:48:36 +0000 regberadaisy 109110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea:<br /> Yup, my broth is perfectly clear but it's the addition of the beef that makes it murky. I've started rinsing the beef after we slice it and squeezing the water out. It does the trick but I gotta think there's a easier way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108754 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 07:40:39 +0000 heffalump 108754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I lived closer to all of you girls, I'd love a cooking class! I don't cook any Asian food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108726 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 06:31:21 +0000 Andrea 108726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: thank you! i wonder if i'll be able to find the paste....maybe i'll have to order it online. </p> <p>@regberadaisy: i have no tips. =( i have never even attempted my own broth! so you mean the broth gets all murky as you add the raw beef to cook, right before you eat it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108686 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 22:14:26 +0000 regberadaisy 108686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea:<br /> I totally need to pick your brain on Pho!!! We have been making it off and on for the last year or so. We have gotten the broth pretty good and tasty. It's the not getting the soup murky with the raw beef that is throwing us off!!! We have worked around it but I just can't believe restaurants go to the extent we do. So there's gotta be a trick we are missing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108682 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 22:09:56 +0000 regberadaisy 108682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up cooking for the family so I don't really follow recipes. But the more traditional items are generally cooked by my mom. And we all know moms don't use recipes!! So I enjoyed being able to find blogs out there with authentic Chinese recipes.</p> <p>I follow Steamy Kitchen and Christine's Recipe is a good one for cantonese cooking. I also follow Rasa Malaysia and a bunch more that I need to check my reader for.</p> <p>Thanks for the links! I always enjoy food blogs :)</p> <p>Off topic: My friend (who's Dominican) just gave me a link to a Dominican food blog that he said is authentic so I'm interested to try some of those recipes out too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108650 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:13:11 +0000 cupcakemama 108650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I cheat and use a store bought curry paste. The recipe I loosely follow is fairly similar to this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/21933/massaman+curry" rel="nofollow">http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/21933/massaman+curry</a><br /> The evaporated milk you can use either that or just coconut milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108645 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:08:11 +0000 Rubies 108645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I LOVE maangchi!

I also use many of the recipes from <a href="http://www.korean-cuisine.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.korean-cuisine.blogspot.com</a>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108623 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:49:19 +0000 cupcakemama 108623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a lot of Thai food. Massaman Curry is a favourite. We also cook stir fries every week. They are so quick, easy and healthy. We don't use recipes for stir fry, just throw whatever sauces/spices in that we feel like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108549 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 19:17:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 108549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for this thread!

She likes japchae though. I can't wait til she starts eating better so I can cook more. Right now she likes cheese, fruit, bread, creamy pasta. Sometimes she'll eat egg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108535 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 19:08:42 +0000 Andrea 108535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: holy moly i am getting hungry. what are your LO's favorite dishes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-asian-food#post-108531 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 19:05:43 +0000 chopsuey 108531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only cook Korean food!
