Pan-Fried Pork Belly With Couscous
If this recipe makes you think of Asian cuisine, then you are right. It’s the Asian cuisine that primarily inspired us here, but we also added an Arabic touch to it by using couscous. So, think of this flavored pan-fried pork belly as belonging to the world.

Pan-Fried Pork Belly With Soy Honey Glaze
Did you know that you can upgrade the already super-tasty pan-fried pork belly? You can do it the Asian way, by spicing them and shortly marinating them in soy sauce, honey, and brown sugar. Serve them with sweetened carrots and sour pickles. Now, is this salty sweetness or, sweet saltiness?

Peanut Shrimp in Coconut Sauce
And here’s another example of Asian cooking (Thai to be more exact) at its best. It’s hot and nutty, like in peanut and coconut-nutty and we didn’t use dairy at all. We substituted butter and milk with coconut oil and coconut milk. We would serve this over cooked rice, but maybe some of you would prefer it as is.

Beef Stir-Fry With Noodles
This ingredient-rich but still pretty light stir-fry was obviously inspired to us by the Asian cuisine. It’s low on calories and not that high in carbohydrates. The iron and vitamin B12-rich sirloin steak, marinated in soy sauce and fish oil, is the perfect match for the noodles. And that’s especially true when everything is cooked with caramelized shallot and ginger and served dressed with citrus juice.

Beef Bun Cha
The Vietnamese Buncha is originally made with pork. In our case, we’ve settled for beef, instead. The meat patties should be served on a bed of rice vermicelli noodles, although you could use wheat noodles, too. We’ve enhanced the whole combo with a lemony hot sauce. Feel free to garnish everything with thinly sliced raw veggies and sesame seeds.
Thai Sea Bass in Spicy Sauce
If you’re in a mood for Asian flavors, this Thai sea bass may just do the trick. It’s a 35-minute job where you grill (we used a grill pan, by the way) the fish, then bake it in a hot aromatic sauce. The latter one is as rich as the Asian cuisine: coconut milk, star anise, ginger, and cinnamon, to name just a few.

Sunflower Seed Halva
Have you ever tried halva? Actually, there are various types of halva and they are all delicious! You can easily make a simple sunflower seed halva yourself! It doesn’t require much in the way of skill. It’s all about dry-roasting sunflower seeds, mixing them with powdered sugar and butter, flavoring them with vanilla extract, and then forgetting them in the refrigerator for about 3 hours. The actual time spent in the kitchen: about 15 minutes.

Shimeji Mushroom Soup
The umami-rich shimeji mushroom is the star of the show in this soup. But we added other mushrooms, too, for the sake of variety. Also, two carrots found their way into the pot, together with red onion. We flavored with thyme and bay leaves and we liked what we tasted. We hope you will, too.

Fried Hot Tofu
And now, a vegan dish coming to us right from the Asian cuisine. This one is centered on the protein-rich soybean plant. You’ll use it in the form of firm tofu, sweet-salty hoisin sauce, and soy sauce. Spike with chili and ginger, stir-fry, and you won’t be sorry. It can be used in a low-carb diet, or even as a side dish over some meat. It’s up to you, really.
