Lindy’s Ono Recipes

I enjoy eating Yakisoba (Japanese Fried Noodles) and have made it in the past (not too often) with the frozen saimin noodles, which often made a mushy Yakisoba. Now, with the ‘oodles’ of ramen varieties, this dish is so delicious, even with heating up the leftovers in the microwave the next day. I LOVE the […]

Lazing around on this Sunday afternoon, since tomorrow is a holiday for me … Discoverer’s Day, I was thinking about what to make for dinner and I thought of ‘my friend Martha’s’ (Martha Stewart that is…) meatloaf. I love this version of Meat Loaf mainly because of the slices of bacon on […]

This Artichoke Dip has always been a favorite of my kids from when they were a lot younger … it must be all that cheese! What kid doesn’t like cheese? The only thing about this, is the more cheese you put on the top … the more it will harden as it cools. I […]

Buta Tofu or Pork Tofu is a dish that I make often. I must confess that my family loves shoyu … as a condiment, as a marinade and in dishes. This is one of those dishes that I don’t have a official recipe but I’ll try to concoct it before your very eyes.

This is one of those ‘old family recipes’ that I got from my Aunty Mitzi, who is my mom’s twin sister! This dish is like a simple nishime (Japanese simmered vegetables) and uses only 3 main ingredients, unlike the tons of vegetables in nishime. I love the knotted konbu (seaweed) in the […]

Brunch Casserole is another ‘breakfast, lunch or dinner’ dish. I got this yummy recipe from my friend Julie. She’s another great cook! The office girls always get a treat with Julie’s homemade dishes. Whenever I make this, I get the “so ono” (delicious) comments. It’s like a better ‘Hamburger Helper’ dish from scratch! Well, almost […]

This is another comfort food of mine that my family enjoys. I don’t have a recipe card nor an actual recipe, but let me give it a try.
Corned Beef Hash
3 medium potatoes (peeled, cut in 1 inch cubes)
1 can […]

I wanted to try a recipe for something that I’ve been thinking of eating. I recently bought a magazine Fine Cooking, which featured some braising recipes and even went to a Braising Cooking Class. But, none of the recipes suited my ‘craving’ for the braised shortribs that had that little touch of tomato […]

When I hear the phrase “its an old family recipe” I think of my mom’s Sweet Sour Spareribs. Whenever I make this, everyone really enjoys this and requests the recipe. I think the gravy that the ribs produce after simmering in a sauce is the absolute yummiest ! Growing up, we always used to […]

Nishime is another Japanese dish served for the New Year celebration. It is a combination of vegetables, pork or chicken and seaweed, simmered in a pot. This dish is considered very healthy because of the variety of vegetables. These are some of the vegetables, besides carrots, included in this delicious dish:
