A Full Pantry - Recipes and Ideas

I enjoy eating out as much as the next gal, but making messes in the kitchen is my hobby. I (also) love trying new recipes, and have recently branched out into “just throwing stuff in”. I love Japanese-inspired dishes, so the things I consider staples and use regularly reflect that. Just for fun I decided to take stock of the things I use “every single friggin’ day”,...

The night market is great for foodies because you get to try all sorts of strange carnival-type food. This is the food court at the night market. It gets crazy busy with people! This is called...
