Tuna, Mango, and Jalapeno Ceviche
by Larry on October 07, 2012
My buddy caught some tuna the other day and I was dying for some ceviche. Perfect timing. This was amazing with fresh tuna but it will work with any fresh fish , shrimp, etc. It all came together and was amazing but the mango is what made this batch something special. Also, here's a great primer on techniques, types of fish, marinating times, etc.: http://www.seriouseats.com/2011/07/the-food-lab-ceviche-and-the-science-of-marin.html

Phamtastic Rolls
by Cynthia on May 05, 2012
I learned this recipe from a friend. She doesn’t have a name for it and I didn’t have any luck coming up with a name for it either so I enlisted my friend's and coworker's help and we came up with “Phamtastic Rolls” (pun on my last name Pham). Now the most difficult part of this recipe is over…… This recipe is so quick and easy to make and versatile. It can be served as an appetizer or for dinner. I love it because it’s my quick and inexpensive fix when I’m craving sushi.

Pumpkin Vine Tips
by Meuy Chio on April 28, 2012
When pumpkins are in season, I like to harvest the pumpkins to make soups, and I hand-pick the vines for stir-fry's. The vine tips usually have edible pumpkin leaves attached, so don't remove them. Make sure to peel the tips to remove the hard, outer layer. Vine tips are healthy and nutritious, and this dish is so easy and fresh!

Thai Tea (Using a Coffee Maker)
by Ching on April 16, 2012
I love drinking tea! Of the many types of teas out there, Thai Tea happens to be one of my favorite teas to drink. I know making Thai Tea on my own would be so much cheaper than visiting cafe tea shops, especially tempting since there are almost one on every block in the city of Westminster in OC. I have tried many ways to make Thai Tea, from using pre-made Thai Tea powder to using actual Thai Tea leaves. Thai Tea tastes so much better when using actual Thai Tea leaves. I also found an easy and quick way to make Thai Tea without having to boil water and steep the tea leaves.
This is where the coffee maker comes in. Lucky for me, I got a coffee maker for my wedding and had thought about giving it away because my husband and I do not drink coffee. However, I learned from a great friend of mine that the coffee maker is an awesome kitchen tool for making tea. -

This method is soup-based and very easy. [Editor's Note: This recipe is from the Mienh tribe of Southeast Asia and part of our Lost Recipes Collection.]

Festive Pork Meatloaf Salad
by Cynthia on February 02, 2012
The first time I had this salad was at my boyfriend's mom's house. I fell in love with it immediately!!! It is so refreshing, has great flavors and colors……..and so addicting!! I just can’t get enough. My mouth is watering as I am typing this description…..LOL. I thought I would have to slave in the kitchen to make this so I never asked her for the recipe. One day I muscled up the courage to ask because we don’t get to visit his mom too often and I felt bad asking her to make it for me every time we do. It turns out it's quite simple. I’ve also had it with un-ripened mango which is an added bonus!!
