My joy of leftovers today brings me Korean kimchi and sesame green beans, and that just means one thing: kimchi jjigae! Read on to see what I made out of it. Continue reading

RotD 4 September 2014: Miso Ramen
For an amateur cook with dreadfully little (or nonexistent) knowledge in the art and science of cooking (for it is both), it’s very gratifying to know that you can, at a moment’s notice, rustle up something in the kitchen using whatever you’ve got on hand, without relying on a cookbook, however beautiful and inspiring it is. It’s my … Continue reading
RotD 21 August 2014: Sibut Minestrone
Hello, I’m back from a several-week-long unintended hiatus. Things have become so busy on our end in preparing for the 4th Philippine Conference on Research in CSR; I do hope you could join! It’s on Monday, 29 September 2014, at the Asian Development Bank in Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila, Philippines. But on to something a bit more … Continue reading
Joy of Leftovers 7 August 2014: Pea and Bacon Spaghetti Soup
In my previous cooking-related – and Joy of Leftovers – post, I made peas with bacon as a vegetable side dish, committing to turn the other half into a leftover leftovers treat. I was supposed to do so last night, but an eleventh-hour affair meant I came home well past suppertime – without having eaten – … Continue reading
Joy of Leftovers 24 July 2014: Szechuan-Taiwan Noodle Soup
Quite possibly my most favorite instant noodle soup of all time has to be the Uni-President Manhan Dacan Malaguo Niurou Mian (滿漢大餐麻辣鍋牛肉麵), or the Manchu Han Banquet Spicy Hotpot Beef Noodle Soup. A product of Taiwan, it’s the popular Taiwanese beef noodle soup that also ranks among my most favored noodle soups, spicy miso ramen from … Continue reading
Joy of Leftovers 21 July 2014: Mac & 'Dle Chicken Cheese Soup
I think the mark of a good cook is their ability to play with the things around and given them, using the cards dealt to create something spectacular out of the box. As I am trying to become – and be – a good cook myself, I had this in mind while planning my lunch … Continue reading
RotD 8 July 2014: An Italian Breakfast Featuring Leftover Minestrone
Continuing my shameful run of belated recipe-of-the-day posts, I now post the happy ending to my Italian soup run from the past several days. I did previously mention in my post on minestrone alla Genovese-Filippino that I unintentionally made so much soup I kept the other half for very-near-future-so-that-it-won’t-go-rotten consumption; at the same time, that evening, I … Continue reading
RotD 7 July 2014, Part 2: Italian Chicken Tomato Soup Spaghetti
My family and I are big fans of UCC (the Ueshima Coffee Company) for both their drinks and food. I in particular enjoy its Bacon & Sausage Curry Soup Spaghetti, which is a lovely marriage between a pasta dish and minestrone, with Japanese (given UCC’s origins) twists. Essentially, it is pasta with a soup instead of … Continue reading
RotD 7 July 2014: Minestrone alla Genovese e Filippino
Last Sunday evening, after our family went shopping for the afternoon, we had dinner at Solaire’s Finestra, its Italian-cum-fine dining restaurant, as it was near Duty Free Fiestamall, where we’d come from. As I wanted to enforce a habit of eating just a light supper and not eating past ten in the evening (as it takes … Continue reading
RotD 4 June 2014: Potpourri soup
There’s a sense of responsibility that comes with rags-to-riches cooking (I’m using it as a Nigella phrase, by the way) – id est, a putting together of a basketful of ingredients that on their own seem rather sad or bland, but when combined in one bowl (or plate), becomes a feast fit for a king. Especially when said … Continue reading
