Leftover Pot Roast Ramen Bowl

August 10, 2015 By Laura 8 Comments

Leftover Pot Roast Ramen Bowl: Take any leftover pot roast--in this case a fabulous Malaysian Pork Shoulder in Caramelized Soy Sauce--and turn it into a fantastic ramen bowl the next night!

This Leftover Pot Roast Ramen Bowl is a fantastic way to use up leftovers–in this case I used a Malaysian Pork Shoulder in Caramelized Soy Sauce, but most pot roasts would work. This is a blueprint rather than a formal recipe, because what specific ingredients you use and how much will depend on what you…

The Spiced Life Style Sambal with Veggies, Eggs, Cashews and Rice (and Turkey?)

November 24, 2011 By Laura 2 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving! I know everyone is featuring fantastic things to do with leftover turkey right about now.  But… I hate turkey.  I personally think we have been brainwashed as a nation to think that the driest, most boring meat imaginable should be the centerpiece of our most food-oriented holiday feast.  But I won’t go on…

Everywhere I look food blogs are featuring savory, healthy dishes.

Malaccan Beef & Vegetable Stew

October 7, 2009 By Laura 10 Comments

There should be more braised beef dishes on my blog. Seriously, if it was compatible with how I want to live from environmental and health perspectives, I would have some variation on pot roast every night of the week. But alas I know I should not, so I try not to indulge too often. But…

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture. That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly.
