We were recently gifted with some tuna from our sailing/fishing friends and wanted to put together something worthy of their generosity. In my search, I landed on what looked like a winner from The Domestic Man. Simple, very quick to prepare and cook, plus I was introduced to a new-to-me seasoning, Furikake, a combination of sesame seeds and nori seaweed. Well, I thought to myself, […]
Now that our boat has been put snuggly away for the winter months (insert sad face), I am back in our land galley working on some easy recipes to squirrel away. With the use of my little pressure cooker and my stir-fry pan, I came up with this next Asian-inspired dish. An easy supper ready in the time it takes you to cook rice. […]
Recently we invited friends for a wonderful end of season sail. ….the very talented lady and her partner… (Shaune Thompson Photography) I put together a little brunch before departing which included some Gomashio coated boiled eggs. (Gomashio is pan seared sea salt with ground sesame seeds) Gomashio adds that perfect touch to so many Asian-inspired dishes, that I make […]
This is one of my favourite throw-together meals. Super easy and can be made mostly with what you have on hand. Make some extra rice for tonight’s meal and you will have this very flavourful and complete vegetarian dish for tomorrow… CRISPY GINGER GARLIC FRIED RICE 2 tbsp minced ginger 2 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 cup cooking oil (peanut or grapeseed is a good choice) […]
I first had these many years ago in Korea when visiting my daughter several years ago. She lived there for a couple of years teaching English to young South Korean students and on my arrival she introduced me to Pajeon. We enjoyed then plain (just the eggs mixture with green onions) and a seafood version – my favourite. SEAFOOD PAJEON with SPICY DIPPING SAUCE 2 […]

Perfect for gluten intolerant guests …. and those who really like a little zing on their crackers…. ASIAN CHEESE BALL 1 package of cream cheese 1 tbsp chili sauce 1tbsp freshly grated ginger 1 tbsp freshly grated onion […]
Love everything Asian but I try to avoid anything deep fried. And these easy and not deep-fried little bites of chicken were perfect all smothered in a sticky honey sesame sauce. STICKY HONEY SESAME CHICKEN 1 lb boneless chicken cut into 1″ pieces 2 garlic cloves, minced 2-3 tbsp oil (coconut oil works really well) toasted sesame seeds to garnish for batter 1/2 cup flour […]
Our lady R.E.D. is now out of the water for the season, so the process begins to remove all but the essentials and bring them back to our land home for the next few months… From now until next spring my teeny tiny galley will be stripped bare to just very basic items…. …something with which to cut the baguette, …something with which to open […]
I’m not sure if there is a specific recipe for a Buddha bowl but in our galley it lends itself to all sorts of options… completely vegan, vegetarian with or without tofu or with animal protein or fish added. The rice can be cooked in 15 minutes in a pressure cooker. The sweet potatoes can be grilled on skewers on your barbecue or as I […]
I make these tasty crunchy pancakes often… Vegetarian or with meat added they are an easy fix at home or on the water. (link to my usual recipe for Okonomiyaki ) When we provisioned last we bought a small package of broccoli slaw so instead of all that chopping and julienne-ing I am using them for a quick and easy supper tonight… EASY […]
