RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I love all kinds of food, especially Asian dishes. I enjoy making dinner for my family as well. I especially like Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai cuisines; however, it's difficult to make authentic dishes, so most of the time, I'll just visit my favorite restaurants for a craving. Besides that, I like Rachael Ray's 30 minute meals recipes, and that's what I usually make during the week. When I have more time to slave in the kitchen on the weekend, I'll make dishes like baby-back ribs and stews, or try new recipes. Many people eat to live, I'm defintely a live to eat kind of person.</p>
