This is my second version of hotteok, an korean street food. While most recipes do use the same dough for sweet and salty fillings I do prefer different doughs for different fillings. As a first salty hotteok I made sauerkraut filled hotteok. Korean Austrian fusion at its finest.

Over the last month I tried various different ramen variations. The beef based version is my favorite so far. Especially the combination with broccoli and carrots does fit perfectly.

Chicken wings are something that I really struggle to cook with and is the last part on my list of the Whole Chicken Project. This week I decided to use them to try Ramen and got hooked instantly. Ramen is quite some work unless you have some ingredients at hand already, but it is so worth it. This version was based on using the chicken wings but I’m sure there will follow other ramen recipes soon.

I recently discovered that a lot of people make potato based Kaspressknoedel, without cut white bread. In this version I tried to find a balance between both variants. Personally I like this version more, though it has a different taste and a very different mouth feel.

If you are in search of a traditional chinese pot stickers recipe, this is not it. We pretty much winged it and figured out potential ways to fold a dumpling the DIY way. A very fun and memorable cooking experience. And an even better one eating them.

Daal is a very fast to prepare indian dish. I don’t think spinach can be found in any traditional recipe, though I really enjoy the combination of flavors. This recipe contains two spicing variants, one more traditional and one more experimental heavily relying on other self made spice mixes.

This version of potato wedges uses schmalz made from left over chicken skin. It is an amazing and delicious example on how to prepare a great meal out of something that often does not get used and thrown away instead.

This is the classic variant of goulash. It is very easy to prepare, though it does take some time as it has to cook for several hours. Its delicious and I do cook it far too rare.

This is the first dish I cooked with my Spicy Pear Chutney and it was so fast and easy to prepare that I did not even consider posting it at first. Though I decided to do it never the less, if only to remind myself of this awesome fast food in times of need.
