Sushi Bowls! – Leels Cooks

This is one of my fave easy dinners to make when I’m feeling like sushi but don’t want to fuck around with nori and rolling mats. It’s also great for using up miscellaneous bits of leftovers or veggies on their last legs the fridge. What you need: Sushi rice Some form of protein (or nah, it’s coo) At least two other ingredients or vegetables. You can go about this many ways, maybe deconstruct your favourite roll, or add a pile of favourite sushi ingredients. Suggested ingredients: Raw or cooked fish (teriyaki chicken or beef also works great) Cooked yam Avocado … Read more

Gyoza – Leels Cooks

General

As you may have figured, I love Asian food. Any of it it. All of it. Dumplings are a staple, easy to make and so fucking good. I love making gyoza because they’re pretty quick to throw together, but you can also use the meat for a bunch of different things if you get fed up wrapping the dumplings. What you need: 1/2 a head of napa cabbage, finely minced 1 tablespoon salt 1 pound ground pork 1 teaspoon pepper 2 tsp sesame oil 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 2 ounces minced scallions (about 3 … Read more

Matcha Blondies (greenies?) – Leels Cooks

Holla for Challah – Leels Cooks

General

Braided loaves can be daunting, but they’re really not that difficult and absolutely worth the effort (and the french toast afterward <_<). I’m a messy, impatient, lazy cook. But in order to make great bread, all you have to do is follow the directions. If I can somehow manage, so can you! What You Need: 2 teaspoons active dry or instant yeast 1 cup lukewarm water 4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup white granulated sugar 2 teaspoons salt 2 large eggs 1 large egg yolk (reserve the white for the egg wash) 1/4 cup (2 ounces) neutral-flavored … Read more

Mom’s Pierogi – Leels Cooks

General

Perogie? Perogi? Pierogi? I still have no idea how to actually spell it but it’s been an important part of our family for years. You cannot have a family dinner or visit anyone without them being there. Everyone loves them, and they’re gone in an instant. As with every passed down family recipe, I have no clue how to actually measure anything in this. It’s all done by taste, feel and a few shrugs. So, bear with me, be brave and give it a shot. What you need: Filling: yukon gold potatoes (1 1/2 lb) HAS to be. My mother … Read more

Sesame Miso Soba with Crispy Tofu – Leels Cooks

General

Let’s pretend summer is here already so we can eat all of the cool, refreshing and light foods, okay? OKAY?! I’ve also been making a lot of unintentional vegetarian meals lately, not sure why, not unhappy about it though. As long as it’s delicious, no complaints! Feel free to sub out any of the vegetables with your favourite, and you can also sub the tofu for any other protein you’d prefer. Shredded rotisserie chicken would go very well with this. What you need: 1/2 brick of firm tofu, cubed 2 sleeves of soba noodles 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced … Read more

Eggs in a Pizza Basket – Leels Cooks

General

We don’t need a recipe for this. You just need to see this and know it exists. Those of you that follow my instagram know that I have a thing for eggs. Straight up #yolkporn. If I can put an egg on it, I will. Two, even. This was just one of those cases 😀 I like putting an egg ON pizza, but I find either making it separate or baking it on top of already baked pizza doesn’t really go as well. So this was my solution. Make eggs in a basket, but with pizza. Easy peasy. Try it … Read more

Spicy Maple Korean Fried Chicken Pancakes – Pancake Day – Leels Cooks

General

It’s Pancake Day! Apparently Canadians are supposed to celebrate this as well but I’ve never <_< I make and eat pancakes pretty often so I wanted to do something different. Since chicken and waffles are a thing, as are chicken and pancakes. I thought I could bring my own twist to this 😀 Fluffy pancakes with, sweet, sticky, spicy chicken on top – trust me you’re going to love this. Pancakes: I always use the martha stewart pancake recipe, it’s easy, basic and never goes wrong. 1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled) 2 tablespoons sugar. 2 teaspoons baking powder. … Read more
