Hands down THE quintessential dish of Singapore. Every street vendor who serves it probably has some amazing technique to perfect this dish to their standard. But if you can’t travel all the way to Singapore, this dish is EASY to make at home, even if you haven’t perfected the cleaver chop. Lord knows I have a lot of practicing to do if I ever want to compare myself to the skills of a street vendor!

Hands down one of my all time favorite beef flavored soups in the world, including, dare I say, goulash. The amazing flavor of the broth, the tender beef, paired with baby bok choy and some delicious pickled mustard, it can’t be beat. Of course, you make your own hand pulled noodles, that’s the epitome of pro. I’m not quite there yet. One day!

Pad Thai was my first foray into the world of GOOD food during my freshman year of college. And making it is almost just as easy as ordering it in a restaurant, but with significantly more flavor. How cool would it be to tell your friends you can make Pad Thai better than your local restaurant?

I expected the stew to have an overwhelming taste of peanut butter but that was not the case at all. In fact, that flavor blended beautifully with all the other ingredients, despite using an entire CUP of peanut butter.

This soup is an elevated version of chicken noodle soup, except instead of having a savory flavor profile, you get hit with a delicious sourness from the lemon juice and sour cream. A must try, even during summer months!

For any of the lentil disbelievers, this recipe will change your mind about lentils. I’ve always thought lentils to be bland and boring, but was very pleasantly surprised that this is everything but that.

Traditionally a Christmas dish, but this dish is so good and perfect for a dinner party. Whether you use oxtail, or short rib like I did, any tough meat will be made soft with hours of simmering, and all the right flavors and smells hitting every taste bud. Must make!

The absolute perfect soup for a cold day, or when you’re feeling sick. I was feeling sick and this soup was so flavorful and so easy to make, utilizing the least amount of ingredients I’ve seen for a chicken soup.

How can you resist grilled (or pan-seared pork)? I know I can’t. This extremely flavorful pork is the perfect taste of Cambodia and extremely easy. The marinade brings it to a whole new level.

Baked or boiled, this Croatian dish is usually served savory, but I took some liberties to create a sweet twist on the classic strukli.
