Zucchini and Wild Mushroom Carbonara 櫛瓜與野生菇Carbonara義大利麵

When it comes to pasta sauce, strangely, I’m not such a big fan of most tomato-based sauces. Instead, I’m more of a creamy sauce kind of person, but let’s face it, most of the creamy pasta sauces tend to be a bit rich. Carbonara is a good example. It often contains cream and a lot of cheese. Of course, there are ways to make vegan versions of it, but I still prefer to use real dairy. 

Cheese Fried Egg, Mushroom, and Avocado Sandwich 起司煎蛋、酪梨與蘑菇三明治

 

Even though I've been on Instagram for about a year, I hadn't been very active until recently. I must say that it wasn't the easiest thing for me in the beginning. Normally when I finish cooking,   taking photos of my daily meals is the last thing on my mind. Instead, I would rather rush to the table and eat.（≧▼≦；) Seriously, I love my food fresh and hot. Having to take those few extra minutes for the photo, and watching my hot plate get cold in my 10C kitchen in the winter is not my thing.

Three-Cup Chicken with King Oyster Mushrooms Taiwanese Style 三杯杏鮑菇雞

Three-Cup Chicken is perhaps one of the signature dishes of Taiwanese cuisine. It was a typical dish on our dinner table, and my all-time favourite from my mom!! I don't know any Taiwanese person who doesn't like this dish. With lots of ginger, rice wine, and dark sesame oil, it is supposed to be very warming for the body, and therefore is a must in the fall and winter. The dish gets it's name from the three key ingredients: 1 cup dark sesame oil, 1 cup soy sauce, and 1 cup rice cooking wine.
