Recipes I keep coming back to, cooking notes, and the occasional kitchen experiment — plus my cooking show.
Wingin’ it with Chefbuddy Wungit
No recipes, no plan — just good food and good company. New episodes when the mood strikes.
Chefbuddy Wungit - Gochujang Stir-Fry
New kitchen, new format. Chef Buddy gets sacrilicious!
Chefbuddy Wungit Episode 5 - Crispy Sushi Rice w/ Mashed Sardine, Fresh Salsa, & Aji Verde
In this episode, Chef Buddy Wungit explores the benefits of using sardines and anchovies in cooking. These low-trophic fish are not only sustainable but also nutritious, packed with omega-3 fatty acids and protein. Chef Buddy highlights their versatility in dishes and encourages viewers to incorporate them more into their diets. He creates a fusion dish combining elements from Japanese, Mediterranean, Mexican, and Peruvian cuisines. The dish features crispy sushi rice, a flavorful sardine and anchovy mash, fresh tomato salsa, and a vibrant Aji Verde sauce, resulting in a delightful and nutritious meal.

Coconut Miso Salmon Curry
This is a variant of a New York Times Recipe by Kay Chun. You can find it here: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020045-coconut-miso-salmon-curry. It's a solid 5-star recipe and I brought in some Chef Buddy changes to make it a solid 6-star recipe. :-D That being said, make this. It will blow your mind; it hits all the notes and the only heat comes from the bite of the galangal (or ginger, if that's all you have). It can be served with thin sliced hot pepper of your choice for an extra kick of heat, but a squirt of sriracha can do just as well. Don't leave out the fresh herbs and the squeeze of lime at the end. It finishes out the high-end; kind of like a hi-hat tick on a thick and juicy beat. Regular Jasmine or Basmati rice is good to serve this on, but a coconut jasmine rice is divine.
Coconut Jasmine Rice
This rice dish is a perfect accompaniment to most Thai dishes; but don't let that stop you from fusion-ing. It will work with anything rich and savoury. I do all my rice cooking in an Instant-Pot, so the directions will be for that, but any method that gets the job done is satisfactory; just make the little adjustments you need to.
The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You'll Ever Need
This one is an absolute knockout and scales up beautifully if you ever need to. It is so moist, and so chocolatey, and remains that way for a lot longer than most standard cakes. It also freezes well. The key is the boiling water added at the end. The batter will be much thinner that a standard cake, but trust me, it's a knockout!
