Bibimbap is a korian dish that combines various vegetables, with rice and some sort of protein. This sauce recipe is miso based and a good allrounder to start with.

Gyros Spice Mix

Gyros spice is something I never really used, though for the kritharaki recipe I wanted to create my own mix. Its not fully developed yet but a very good starting point for further tweaking.

spices WIP

This recipe is my personal nemesis. I had this one down to the dot, but did not wrote the recipe down. Recreating failed after multiple attempts and I did not care to even try for over two years. Still very much work in progress…

Chinese Chili Paste & Oil

In several recipes I tried over the past month chinese chili oil or paste were on the ingredient list. As I had most ingredients at home I tried to reproduce it. Its not totally authentic, but its close enough and it does taste amazing.

Ginger, Spring Onion and Chili Paste & Oil

As the garlic ginger paste was quite a fail I decided to try something else that allows fast access to ginger taste that is durable for longer. Initially I wanted to make oil, though blending the leftovers revealed one of the best asian pastes Ive ever tasted. Its one of the most amazing flavor bombs Ive tasted.

Garlic Ginger Paste [FAIL]

The idea behind this paste was to have ginger and garlic for asian recipes at hand at all time without having the hassle of peeling and cutting them. However, the paste was not durable enough. Maybe fermentation would help, though at this point I have given up on trying.

Gingerbread Spice

Gingerbread spice is pretty well known. There are countless recipes and in the end it comes down to personal taste and the love (or hate) for some of the ingredients used. With my version I aim for a round flavor that can be used for other things than gingerbread itself.
