Of course, you could use the packaged Yellow Curry Powder/Paste which you get in [...]

Here is a recipe for a quick and easy Thai Style Vegetable Stir Fry. A welcome change from the Indian Style Vegetarian side dishes. Cabbage is the main ingredient I have used in this recipe.

I recently found Brown Basmathi Rice at a health food store and I have become a fan of it. Brown Rice is more healthy since it’s a whole grain and has a lower Glycemic Index. If you haven’t tried Brown Rice, start using it in salads and stir-frys and you will get accustomed to its [...]

Here is my recipe for an Indo-Chinese Style Beef or Pork Fried Rice. Here in the US, I normally don’t buy Chinese Beef/Pork Fried Rice since the meat is mostly tough and often not cooked until well-done. In this recipe, I have fried the meat before mixing it with the rice. Alternatively, you can use [...]
