Fantastic soups (pho) and a very wide variety of other tasty Vietnamese dishes keep me going back time after time.

Basic Beef Jerky

Haikuman Cooks — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:43:24 UT

My basic, time-tested, all-purpose jerky recipe. This recipe also works well if you are planning to smoke the jerky a bit before dehydrating.

Cuban Mojo Sauce

Haikuman Cooks — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:40:28 UT

A zingy Cuban style sauce used sparingly on all kinds of meats, sandwiches, etc. - to enhance the flavor, not cover it up.

Puerco Asado (Cuban Style Slow Roasted Pork)

Haikuman Cooks — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:49:18 UT

I am calling this Marinated Cuban Slow-Roasted Pork “Tampa Style” because it tastes a lot like the Puerco Asado I used to enjoy when I lived there.

Whole Wheat Pita

You can make it yourself. They may not all puff up into perfect pocket pitas, but so what?

Thai Pork Satay

Haikuman Cooks — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 02:24:54 UT

Satay is standard street fare in Thailand. Usually a very simple recipe, my version is a little more complex in flavor - a wonderfully different grilled pork recipe that is sure to please.

Cha Gio (Imperial Rolls) Chả giò

Haikuman Cooks — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 01:20:42 UT

This Vietnamese delicacy is traditionally served with Romaine lettuce leaves and fresh Basil, Mint or Cilantro leaves. The cool crisp lettuce and herbs are then wrapped around the hot and crispy rolls and then dipped into a spicy, sweet, savory and tart fish sauce called Nước chấm. … an unbeatable combination!

Chicken (or Pork) Lettuce Wraps (like P.F. Changs™)

Haikuman Cooks — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:12:55 UT

My loose spin on P.F. Chang’s “Chicken Lettuce Wraps”. My children like my version better, but that’s what I pay them to say. P.F. Chang’s serves it as an appetizer, but this recipe makes enough for a meal.
