2019 Top 6 Recipes #recipe #top6 #bestoftheyear #noodles #dessert #drink #sauce #stirfry | The Missing Lokness

As predicted, 2019 is the year of change for me and my husband. We have moved out of Southern California, and now living in San Jose. We traveled much more as well, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Seattle & New Orleans.

Because of all the traveling and moving, I wasn’t able to upload as many recipes as previous years. Thank you for understanding and the continued supports. It means a lot to know that you guys tried the recipes and enjoyed them. I also love connecting with some of you through social media. It’s 2019! It’s normal talking to people online and making friends, right? Let’s keep that going!

Next year will be an exciting year. I’m cooking in my new kitchen. We’ll be exploring the new cities in our area and trying out new restaurants. I’m surrounded by many different Asian supermarkets with new ingredients, which will be inspiring. I’m excited to share with you all in 2020!

Now, let’s get to our 2019 Top 6 Recipes count down!

6. Pork and Thai Basil Cellophane Noodles – A quick stir-fry noodle dish is always a win-win for any weeknight dinner. Packed with flavors, but doesn’t require many ingredients.

5. Mango Sticky Rice – I love this classic Thai dessert! When the mango is in season, you have to try this out. Incredible!

4. Pollo Saltado (Peruvian Chicken Stir-Fry) – If you never had this dish before, I know it’s very weird to see French fries in stir-fry. But it really works! Don’t forget to serve this with Aji Verde Sauce.

2. Strawberry Cheese Tea – This tea was inspired by my trip to Hong Kong. Fruity & refreshing tea drink topped with a cheesy cream foam. Just what you want for spring & summer time.

1. Aji Verde Sauce (Peruvian Green Sauce) – The creamy green sauce is the perfect condiment. It goes well with meat and rice. Best thing is that you just need to blend everything together!

BONUS – My Favorite Recipe of the Year:

Kimchi Carbonara – Putting a twist on a classic carbonara! Bacon, kimchi, egg & pasta. Creamy with a little kick! This has become one of my favorite weeknight dinners.

Pistachio Glutinous Rice Balls (開心果糯米糍 Pistachio Glutinous Rice Balls (開心果糯米糍). These’re super popular in Hong Kong right now. The outside is chewy & soft like mochi. The inside is filled w/ ground roasted pistachios & sugar. Sweet & nutty. Absolutely delicious! No wonder people can’t get enough of these.

新一年, 祝大家蛇年行大運! 開心快樂! 新一年, 祝大家蛇年行大運! 開心快樂! 健康平安! Happy Year of the Snake! Wishing you a year filled with luck, happiness, health & prosperity! This year, I kept it simple with the decorations, but Bryan & I built this Lego bamboo. Lucky bamboo symbolizes prosperity & good fortune—and being Lego, it’ll last forever. I also bought some pistachios, known as “開心果” (happy nuts) in Cantonese, which symbolize happiness. 2025 hasn’t had the smoothest start, so I’ll gladly take all the happiness and good vibes I can get! 

恭喜發財! Gong Hei Fat Choy!🏮🧧🐍

We’re back at decorating Rose Parade floats this We’re back at decorating Rose Parade floats this year!🌹 Fluffing and gluing so many carnations for the Honda float. This time, we decided to come on a later date, & the vibe was totally different from last year. There were news crews, tons of volunteers, adorable rescue dogs (they’ll be on the Pasadena Humane float 🐾), & even Gayle King! Our legs & backs are aching right now, but honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Loved every minute of it! ❤️

Hong Kong Bakery Butter Cookies w/ Chocolate. Thes Hong Kong Bakery Butter Cookies w/ Chocolate. These cookies are buttery like Danish cookies, but light & crumbly at the same time. I grew up eating them in Hong Kong. They’re very common in local bakeries. So simple, but taste the BEST! Have you had these before?

Yesterday, we went to Disneyland and Disney Califo Yesterday, we went to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Festive, & luckily, it wasn’t too crowded. I went in with a long list of foods to try, but by 4 PM, we were already stuffed! Here are some of our favorites:

1. Mickey Gingerbread - The most popular holiday treat! We’ve had this before & loved it just as much this time around. It’s soft & chewy with ginger and warm spices. And let’s be honest - they’re just way too cute! Quick tip: I placed a mobile-order through Jolly Holiday at 7am when the windows opened. Yes, I ordered it before arriving at Disneyland. It can sold out quickly, especially on a busy day. These can sell out fast, especially on busy days. You might find them at Market House too, but there’s no mobile ordering option there. (From Jolly Holiday)
2. Waffle Cristo - A twist on the classic Monte Cristo. Ham, turkey, & Swiss cheese on crispy waffles. Adding a touch of strawberry jam & maple syrup made for an amazing sweet & savory combo. Definitely getting this again next time. (From Royal Street Veranda)
3. Mickey-Shaped Beignets - 1st time trying these. Light & fresh! (From Mint Julep Bar)
4. Lobster Nachos - The nachos were flavorful as always, though I wouldn’t have minded a bit more sauce this time. Fair warning: the jalapeños brought some serious heat!
5. 2319 - This fruity coconutty drink is non-alcoholic. So refreshing! Loved it! (From Lamplight Lounge in DCA)
6. Churro - Hot & fresh! Always a must! (From churro carts)
7. Cold Brew Black Caf - Tasty! It kind of reminds me of tiramisu. If you’re in Galaxy’s Edge area, definitely check it out. (From Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo)
8. Dole Whip - No Disneyland trip is complete without this! I always go for the classic pineapple flavor. Tangy, refreshing, & never disappoints. (From The Tropical Hideaway)
