One jar of sambal that saves you time all week. This is one of my favourite kitchen systems as a busy mum. I make one batch, store it in the fridge, and use it to cook different meals. It’s packed with flavour and works beautifully with fish, petai, tempeh, fried rice and so much more.
A refreshing, restaurant style Japanese cold soba that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Served with a light umami dipping sauce, it’s the perfect meal for hot days and can be paired with your favourite Japanese side dishes for a complete family dinner.
A simple one pot beef stew made with tender beef brisket, carrots and whatever I had in the fridge. I didn’t have regular potatoes, so I used sweet potato instead and honestly, it turned out really good! It’s hearty, comforting and very family friendly, especially served with a bowl of rice.
