Hello friends, I recently decided to incorporate more grains into my lunches so I decided to try to make Japanese brown rice noodles! I honestly didn’t think that I would enjoy them so much but they’re so good.

Korean sesame bread
On the way home from the dentist, lil’ bun picked up a korean sesame bread mix kit from H-mart. We love these things and used to buy them every single time we came across them at korean bakeries. Korean sesame bread is chewy, stretchy and gluten-free making them super fun to eat!
Cinnamon tea ring (friendship bread)
Last year, I was living in Taiwan and it was such a culture shock for me when the holidays came around. Christmas and Thanksgiving were definitely not as popular of a celebration there and I worked on both days! So this year I’m really treasuring my time with family and friends over the holiday season.

Korean rice cakes (vegan, gluten free)
I can’t believe it’s wintertime again so soon! I’m usually all for drinking soup to warm up but for some reason this cold season, I’ve been really addicted to Korea rice cakes! Maybe it’s because I rarely had this over the last year since I wasn’t living here but these little nuggets of glutinous delight […]
Japanese souffle cheesecake

I do love using the tangzhong method to make my bread because it keeps the moisture in the bread for days after the initial bake but this […]
Hong Kong style pineapple bun (bolo bao)
Pineapple buns are a Hong-Kong style milk bun topped with a sugar crust to create a contrast of flavors and textures. Pineapple buns are perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack for high-tea!
Matcha swirl milk bread
This Matcha swirl milk bread is unlike any other because it has Matcha spread swirled into the middle! The Matcha swirl adds a nice earthy flavor to the loaf without being overpowering it or adding too much Matcha flavor. If you don’t care for Matcha, use vanilla extract or cacao powder in the condensed milk […]
