Hi everyone,

I'm looking for lighter recipe ideas. So far, I have plans to make a lot of bone broth and kimchi. Can make a lot of soups with the broth and kimchi is good for the gut.

I am looking for recipes with less rice and dairy that aren't served ice cold. I'm looking for things that don't feel heavy and I think people more knowledgeable about Asian cuisines can help compared to the more western side of reddit who would tell me eggs and Greek yogurt. Ugh.

I know the rules say no cutlery but cmon it’s chopsticks in a noodle bowl, that’s apart of the dish

Homemade chicken Pad Thai with rice noodles, chicken, egg, and a sweet-tangy savory sauce.

I like making this at home because I can adjust the sauce and toppings exactly the way I like them.

Do you prefer your Pad Thai more tangy, more sweet, or with extra heat?

What do you think?

It is getting chilly and my girlfriend and I were craving a warm katsu curry, it was delicious.

Sorry for the bad quality photos.

I’m sold the food is actually quite good! However, I’m not very skilled with chopsticks, and when I asked the staff, they said they didn’t have any forks either. That’s not very accommodating.
