Steamed Siu Mai Dumplings
Dumpling skins are usually found frozen. Small, round siu mai dumpling (or potsticker) skins are the best, but you can also use square wonton skins. Look for these in the Asian market for best results. At regular grocery stores, I've seen "pasta sheets" marketed as...
Indian Dal Nirvana
I subscribe to multiple cooking magazines, their glossy photos serve as my "look book" for dinner ideas. But my favorite section actually has no photos, the "dear editor" letters from readers revisiting a favorite food memory and pleading to weasel the recipe from the...
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
Before I even get into this addictive little snackity snack, I just want to say thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes yesterday on Twitter and Facebook. You all are so thoughtful to send a little message of good wishes. I was sitting at the airport waiting...
Cauliflower and Kale Salad (Cauliflower Tabouli)
8/3/10 Update: Sorry for repeat post from 2 days ago - my database crashed!!! EEEEKS! So I had to restore from older backup and recreate this post. Public service announcement: BACK UP!!! At the risk of upsetting my vegetarian, vegan and raw fans, I’ll say this: ban...
Popcorn with Parmesan and Truffle Oil
I have a new addiction but luckily this time, it’s not quite as unhealthy as my last (ahem … Kit Kats) or budget-breaking as the one before that (ahem … fresh oysters from the Pacific Northwest). It’s all my friend Jennifer’s fault. She gushed on about her new popcorn...

Salmon Tartare with Sriracha Sauce

Blogger’s Choice Award: Candied Bacon and Apple Canapés
I'm currently on my way back from Pillsbury Bake-Off 2010 in Orlando, riding in the back seat of my personal "contract killa's" car. Yes, on my laptop, trying to get this post up before the winner is announced in a few hours, just so we could say "We told you so!"...
15 Minute Japanese Mushroom Flatbread
The intentions of making my own pesto sauce from scratch was certainly there, but something silly like I-killed-my-basil-plant got in the way of my plans. There's nothing more sad than walking out to my mini-garden and seeing a sad, shriveled and shrunken herb. Oh...
Salted Caramel Covered Strawberries
Great for Valentine’s day, Mother’s Day, a birthday party or an everyday treat, these Salted Caramel Covered Strawberries will be a hit with kids and adults! Why These Salted Caramel Covered Strawberries Are So Good These Salted Caramel Covered Strawberries...
Chocolate Wontons + Video
Photo from The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook My blog would not be complete without mention of one of my kids' favorite dessert in the whole wide world, Chocolate Wontons. In fact, the site serves as my family's visual menu of sorts, my kids will click through the site and...
Tomato Braised Cauliflower
Believe it or not, I've been in a cauliflower rut. And you can bet that my kids have let me know, "awww...Mom...cauliflower AGAIN?" I think I've hit the household roasted cauliflower limit as that's the only recipe that I've been cooking. My family is protesting....
How to make Cupcake Cake Pops (video)
I know I'm so incredibly late to the Cake Pops party, but hey I'm here, even if it's a year later! The beautiful and talented Bakerella introduced the world to her cake pops and I've been ooh'in and aah'in from day one. Bakerella was kind enough to email me a few...
BBQ Pitmaster Chef Paul’s Sweet & Smoky Ribs
Another sweet and smoky recipe? Yep! I can sweet and smoky anything - even tofu (maybe next week!) BBQ fans are loving the new BBQ Pitmasters Show on TLC and I was lucky enough to get a recipe for Chef Paul Peterson's Sweet and Smoky Ribs. New Twitter friend, Steve...
Beer Steamed Clams with Bacon & Tomatoes
This is possibly one of the best 10 minute meals I've ever made! I'll take clams any which way (well, except rubbery overcooked) - steamed, raw, fried, smothered and creamed in soup. When I'm lucky enough to get my hands on really fresh manila clams, I always invite...
BBQ Central Smoky Sweet Wings
The owner of the wing joint down the street told me that their biggest day for wing sales each year is always Superbowl. People order dozens of wings, bring them to their party, but by the time they get eaten, the wings are a sad, lukewarm pile of skin, fat and bones....
Citrus Shrimp Cocktail
It's not your normal Shrimp Cocktail -- find out what makes this a "cocktail" -- recipe at Steamy Kitchen on TLC (btw, this sparkly, citrus shrimp cocktail recipe makes a perfect app for Valentines Day!)
Cola Glazed Baked Wings
I met award-winning cookbook author Virginia Willis about a month ago at IACP Portland, and within seconds of meeting, we were giggling about....oh I don't even remember! After a couple glasses of wine, chocolate bar and bite after bite of seafood cooked on...
Warm Spinach Mascarpone Dip
Forget the sour cream. Forget the cream cheese. Spinach dip made with mascarpone cheese is an absolute winner! Lighter (texture...sorry...not in calories) and I bet you'll love it. I'm normally all over anything served warm, spreadable and dippable, but I had never...
