I have really only tried this dish about 2 years ago at Mililani Golf Course. When I first had it, I immediately thought my husband would LOVE it. So....I decided to create a quick version sometime later. I was right, he absolutely loved it! It's like roast pork poke! LOL!

I really feel terrible that I have neglected this blog for over a year! I felt that it was easier to use Facebook to share my recipes but I realized, they are not searchable on the internet, nor can you pin the recipes on Pinterest. So....After today, I will be sharing all of my facebook recipes here too. I have recently purchased a pressure cooker, I have been thinking about getting one in a

All my life I thought roast pork is something that you have to get at a chinese restaurant or a chinese roasting market. Who would have thought this actually can be done at home?! 1 large even layer pork skin with fat and meat (my trial was without meat - used the meat for kalua pork) garlic salt five-spice powder 1) Par-boil the pork in boiling water, about 10

I was craving for this last night. Although this recipe doesn't call for dijon mustard, generally the dressing would include that which I didn't have at the time. 2 slices of bacon 3 cups of spinach 3 mushrooms, sliced 1/4 of an onion, thinly sliced feta cheese (to your liking) 5 tbs red wine vinegar, more if desire pinch of sugar, salt, and black pepper 1) Cook bacon on skillet,

  Lil P's birthday came and went. No dinosaur party, no nerf gun party, no star wars party this year. Just good ol' family get together. No birthday parties doesn't mean no cake!

Meat Jun is apparently only available in Hawaii's Korean restaurants. It is thinly sliced beef fried with egg batter. I love eating it but never thought I would make it but a friend recently asked for the recipe so I asked my coworker (who has korean home lunches everyday made by his wife) how to make it. I tweaked the recipe a bit so here's my take:1/8 inch thick rib eye or sirloin tip (ask the
