Vietna-Rican

Cooking Level: Intermediate

Home Town: Astoria, New York, USA
Living In: Fair Lawn, New Jersey, USA
About me:
 I am half Vietnamese and half Puerto-Rican so my food is typically a fusion of both cuisines. I grew up watching my mother and sister cook the most phenomenal and creative meals but I admit I'm too busy (some argue "lazy") to invest the amount of time into cooking as they do. As such, my meals are usually quick-and-easy with an Asian/Latino influence. Being married to a Dominican man has only further convoluted my recipe box :)

Thai Peanut Chicken

Reviewed on May 15, 2009 by Brett Vanderbrook 
Overall, not bad, but it definitely needs adjustments. I doubled the sauce, as almost everyone else said, and I might even triple it next time, and also decreased the amount of garlic and ginger. My biggest problem was even with low-sodium soy sauce, it was WAY too salty. I would prefer for the sauce to be sweeter, so I'm going to try to substitute at least 1 TB of the soy sauce for brown sugar and water next time. With a few alterations, this could be a great dish.

Baked Pork Chops I

Reviewed on Mar. 24, 2009 by Mama Karen 
This is by far the best pork chop recipe I have ever made.My daughter raved about them and has asked me to make them regularly. I did do a few things differently.I sauted fresh onions,garlic and mushrooms for about 5 mins and added them to the soup mixture.I poured the mixture into my casserole dish and then added the chops,so that they cooked in the soup for the entire hour. This was delish and we barely needed a knife.The gravy was perfect over mashed potatoes. I have also made this on top of the stove in a very large,deep frying pan with lid and it was just as perfect as baking in the oven.

Cranberry Orange Loaf

Reviewed on Dec. 20, 2008 by mj 
Very good bread, made 2 loaves instead of one, also added 1 teaspoon of orange extract to mix, used walnuts, and a little less sugar, baked in two 8x4 pans and they are wonderful. Why go through all of that work for one loaf of bread that tastes so good. Will make again, and give as gifts.
