TURKEY MEAT SPRING ROLLS
This is a flavorful dish that came to mind when I was thinking of a late-night dinner idea. We had spring roll papers sitting in our pantry for a while, so I made a lighter version of an egg roll mixed with the flavors of a regular spring roll. If you do try this recipe, I strongly recommend that you use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. It adds a sweeter flavor than regular soy sauce, while still being perfectly salty.
SEAWEED RICE BOWL
This is a fun and colorful salad if you're feeling adventurous, while still not being too intimidating or complicated to complete. This recipe is sure to satisfy your taste buds and will leave you craving more. You can add animal protein to make it a heartier meal. I enjoy it with canned Costco solid albacore tuna in water (the absolute best canned tuna in my opinion!). The crispy onion makes it extra delicious!
NAAN PROTEIN BREAD
Recently, there have been hundreds of influencers promoting “gut-healthy, hormone-balancing” cottage cheese recipes on the internet. I have to admit, this cottage cheese naan bread recipe is worth a shot if you're bread-obsessed, like me, but want to eat something with a little more substance. It’s not a replica of traditional naan bread. But it’s a winner. I often make it as a quick and easy after-school snack.

A GREAT STEAK
This is my attempt to follow Molly Baz’s (a huge inspiration to me as a chef) “Really Great Steak” recipe, and it turned out fantastic. This was my first time cooking a steak, and to be honest, before this, I wasn’t a big steak fan, but I have been converted. Even my dad, who is a steak connoisseur, was impressed. These are the steps and ingredients that I followed to make Molly Baz’s “Really Great Steak.”
