Pepper cheesesteak sandwich

Beef, cheese and bread make up the most basic cheesesteak sandwich. Onion is optional (we like caramelized onion in our sandwiches). Adding bell pepper makes it a pepper cheesesteak sandwich.

Pepper Cheesesteak Sandwich

You will want thinly-sliced beef to make this sandwich. And that means the slices are less than a quarter of an inch thick. We prefer using yakiniku-cut beef because the thickness of the slices is just right.

The most basic seasoning for the beef is, of course, salt-and-pepper combo. But if you want a richer flavor, you can drizzle in Worcestershire sauce. Asian sweet soy sauce works too.

Log-shaped rolls called hoagies are traditional for making cheesesteak. We used homebaked bread for our sandwiches which is a cross between Vietnamese baguette and hoagie.

American cheese is traditional for cheesesteak sandwich; Cheez Whiz is popular. We used a combination of mature cheddar and mozzarella.

A cook’s diary

Easy tasty risotto for home cooks

My Mac’s dictionary defines risotto as “an Italian dish of rice cooked in stock with other ingredients such as meat and vegetables.” For an Asian, that sounds like throwing everything in a rice cooker until everything is done. But it’s not quite that simple.

Food bowls: Asian versus non-Asian

Food bowls are traditionally Asian. Bibimbap, donburi, gaifan, bun cha — all of which are about harmony of ingredients. Western food bowls are entirely something else.

How to cook rice

Does rice need to be rinsed? Is soaking required? How much water should the rice cook in? The answers to all these and more in this guide to cooking rice, Asian-style.
