This is a very traditional Vietnamese dish. My mom made it often growing up. Tonight, I took the last of my dad's catfish from his fishing trip in New Orleans to make this. And for the record, even if you don't have a clay pot, you can still make this. I've made it in my le creuset. My clay pot has a shinny gloss so it doesn't stick like other clay pots. Please keep in mind as you make this, add more or less salt, sugar and pepper to your liking. Everyone's taste buds are different. Ingredients: 1.5-2 pounds

Instant Pot: Chicken Adobo
Chicken adobo in my Instant Pot today. Shout out to all of my Filipinos friends that has inspired this in the instant pot tonight. Most of you know I don't like dark meat, but this is the only type of meat I've ever seen in adobo, so I am sticking to the the original recipe (3 drums and 3 thighs). Most recipes ask to marinade for a few hours but I didn't have time for that tonight. And for the record, there's not a difference in taste that I can taste. Ingredients: 4-6 pieces of chicken (thigh and drums) 1/
Instant Pot (IP) Pho
First time making oxtail pho in the Instant Pot! If you don’t know what an IP is, you’re missing out! It’s an electric pressure cooker with many different functions!

I left mine to so slow release so it took a little longer. If you make with just bones, you can cook it for 2-3 hours. You’ll notice the longer you cook, the darker
Spicy Chili - made in an Instant Pot
Being married to an American who grew up in New Hampshire means I have make some good ole chili sometimes! To be honest, I might love chili more than my husband does😜. The last time I made chili, I made it in a crockpot but it took too long! Especially compared to my new Instant Pot aka IP. This is a new gadget we use in our kitchen a few times a week! Thanks to our friend Carolyn and John Apostolides for the birthday gift and for making dinner on a week night faster! If you don't know what it's
Bamboo eggplant and chicken
I recently ate a Chinese restaurant and thought I should copy! Here it is!! This is my version of the famous Chinese eggplant dish but mine is with chicken instead of pork! Secret is in the beans! This is it! You gotta use this! Ingredients: 2 Chinese eggplants (cut up in large 2 inch pieces rotating the eggplant as you cut so it's uneven. Then deep fried for 60 seconds)- this is important!! This is what makes the eggplant stay purple and thoroughly cooked through. 1/2 package of stop bamboo shoots in brine (rinsed well and drain) 1/
