Ambiguously Asian Soup
The best soups are the “finish the stuff that’s in the fridge with no real plan” recipes. It was the last day before my CSA came and I…

Grilled Salmon – Vietnamese Style
I made a grilled salmon recipe from the Paley’s Place cookbook a couple of months ago for a dinner party we had. The original recipe uses brown sugar, orange zest, salt, onion, garlic and basil. I took the same idea but with a Vietnamese flavor profile. In the end it was a completely different recipe…
Yoichi’s – Santa Barbara, CA
Yoichi’s 230 E Victoria St Santa Barbara, CA 93101 805-962-6627 The food is amazing. The presentation is beautiful. The staff is wonderful. We ate things I’ve never heard of. We had some favorites. I loved our waitress. I won’t buy Tommy Hilfiger clothes (not like I did before)–nevermind why. Aside from the other clientele, I…
Sugarfish Sushi – Marina del Rey
Sugarfish 4722 Admiralty Way Marina Del Rey, CA 90292 I love when I stumble upon stripmall sushi that blows me away. I know, it’s a bit of an LA chain restaurant but their fish was really good. The menu is small but the quality is excellent. We’d taken the water taxi around the marina, got…
Hana – The North Bay Desination
We were north of the Golden Gate Bridge. You know what that means! HANA! We drove up to Santa Rosa to see Neil Gaiman speak (someday I’ll get him to Hana). Then we flew to Montana from the Santa Rosa airport — best kept secret airport. One room, easy in and out. It was awesome….
Seaweed from Tokyo
When I find myself over the hill (for those who don’t live here, that means the other side of the Santa Cruz mountains, in San Jose area) and it’s during business hours, and I have time to spare, I stop at Mitsuwa. I had to take my son to a volleyball tryout/clinic so…there ya go….

Spicy Soba Noodles with Mixed Fish Crudo
Yesterday was not a cheery day. I am in the middle of a self-imposed, home office, crazy rearrangement of life. The office is a disaster. I’m trying to make it less so. In the process I moved out the old air conditioning unit from the closet, sorted out the rest of the junk on that…
Miso-Glazed Cod with Fried Rice

Pabu – San Francisco, CA
I usually write all the content on FoodPorn but my husband wrote up a post about Pabu and I’m just going to steal it. I couldn’t say it better. (I edited it slightly to make it work on the site as opposed to Google+). I present the first guest-post of FoodPorn written by my hubby……
Salmon and Soba in Dashi v2.0
I’ve been making this dish for a while but sometimes I tweak it just a tad. This time I added some crispy salmon skin and I don’t know why I didn’t always do that! It’s salmon season here in the Monterey Bay and although it’s not like it was 10 years ago with salmon selling…
Vietnamese Hand Rolls
A couple of weeks ago I was going through my freezer inventory (I finally wrote up a list and keep a clipboard on the chest freezer!) and picked out a whole rockfish to thaw. I pulled out my neighbor, Andrea Nguyen’s, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen and found her recipe for hand rolls. The first night…
Town of Dumpling – Belmont, CA
There are huge chunks of the Bay Area that are completely unfamiliar to me. If I haven’t worked in the area, chances are I don’t know it. Case in point: Belmont. It is one hour from my house and I had to look on a map to find out where it was. So, when my…
Won Ton Soup
Do you ever have one of those meals that you start because those are the ingredients you have in the fridge but end up with something you want to make again and again? This was one of those nights. I had about 1/4lb of top sirloin left over in the freezer from pho one night….
Vietnamazeballs – aka Vietnamese Meatballs
I got ground pork from my CSA. They have amazing pork. Fatty and delicious. I didn’t want italian food which is what I usually put the pork in so I started searching around Epicurious for ideas. I found Pork and Lemongrass Meatballs in Lettuce Cups. I had all the ingredients aside from the lemongrass. I…
