When I go home to visit my Mom, I always ask for this dish, Chinese Steamed Fish. Mom lives in Los Angeles, where there is an Asian market on every street corner. Most have live fish tanks where you can choose which lucky fella gets to come home with...

I love fish, especially when it's steamed with fresh herbs.

Larissa: Me too, I especially love the soy sauce, scallion and ginger - I could that with rice all the day long! Do you eat the cheek?? (I love that you created this list btw, I may have to create a Vietnamese-version!)

Tasty and healthy soup, loaded with veggies.

A simple soup that will keep you out of the kitchen and hanging out with friends and family.

Asian Noodle Salad

Adapted from Jamie Oliver, this salad is a triumph. A total winner. An explosion of color, flavor, and texture. And the beauty of this salad is, you can just wing it, adjusting the ingredients of the salad or the dressing as you like.

Larissa: I always think of that movie Eat, Drink, Man, Woman when I have peking duck, that scene where the dad is blowing into the duck to loosen up the skin. Have you made it before? Seems labor intensive.
