It’s the end of the year! Let’s do a count down of our favorite 2019 recipes!

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.

3. Stir-Fried Rice Cakes with Pork – This stir-fried is a traditional Chinese dish. Made with chewy rice cakes, dried shiitake, pork & cabbage. So comforting!

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.

Fall is here! šŸ‚ I’m hoping to go apple pickin Fall is here! šŸ‚ I’m hoping to go apple picking soon, but before that, let’s bake this Fresh Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It’s moist, perfectly sweet (but not too much!), & packed w/ fresh apples. Honestly, it doesn’t get more fall than this rustic, cozy dessert! 

Btw, still obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters! It was so touching seeing the interview & performance of Huntr/x on Jimmy Fallon.šŸ’œ

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. šŸŽƒšŸ‚

Toasting the marshmallows w/ a kitchen torch for that perfectly charred, smoky flavor.šŸ¤Ž These Rice Krispies treats make the best party snacks or a sweet little afternoon pick-me-up!

Peach and Cream Crumble Popsicles.šŸ‘ Obsessed is Peach and Cream Crumble Popsicles.šŸ‘ Obsessed is an understatement! Tangy homemade peach jam, smooth cream, & a crunchy crumble topping. Every bite is sweet, tangy, creamy, & crisp all at once. Fun to make, even better to eat!

Next-level beef bowl!šŸ„©šŸš Red Rock is now open Next-level beef bowl!šŸ„©šŸš Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.šŸ˜…

If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it’s this one, Burrata Salad w/ Marinated Tomato & Thai Basil. Creamy, bright flavors & no cook. I love how well the savory Thai basil pair w/ sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh cucumbers & creamy burrata. Amazing!

Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Ita Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Italian style shaved ice made w/ fresh cherries, & paired w/ a creamy mascarpone topping. It’s sweet, little tart, refreshing & creamy all at once! No shaved ice machine is needed. All you have to do is to scrape the fruit liquid with a fork every once a while. That’ll prevent the liquid turning into a giant black of ice. You’ll get these flavorful tiny ice flakes at the end. šŸ’šŸ§ŠšŸ§

Favorite Breakfast Burritos. This is my copycat ve Favorite Breakfast Burritos. This is my copycat version of The Rooster’s Rico Suave burrito. Jammy fried eggs, crispy tater tots, smoky bacon, creamy avocado, melty cheddar & salty cotija cheese. And don’t forget the sauces, salsa de molcajete & cilantro crema. It’s hearty, filling & comforting! Yes, this is no doubt our favorite burrito!
