In regards to cooking, it is crucial to take into account that everyone started somewhere. I do not know of a single person who came to be with a wooden cooking spoon and ready to go. There's a lot of learning that must be done in order to be prolific cook and then there is always room for advancement. Not only do you will need to begin with the basics in terms of cooking but you nearly need to start when learning to cook a brand new cuisine such as Chinese, Chinese, Thai, or Indian food.
Healthful cooking is often difficult since most of us do not wish to spend time planning and preparing meals which our families will not eat. At exactly the exact same time, we need our families to be healthy so we feel pressured to learn new and improved ways of cooking healthy foods to the family to love (and unfortunately in a few scenarios scorn).

Which usually means that you may always develop and expand your cooking abilities.

As a crazy busy Chef and Culinary Instructor, you know I'm obviously all about the, "deliciously easy." After all, who ever said super easy and pre-fabed food can't be absolutely nom nom nommy!? The stuck up. That's who!
Anyway, at 1:00 a.m., last night my ravenous wife woke and decided she had a terrible craving for a spicy, steamy, Asian Hot & Sour Soup. Preferably Thai based. Hence the use of coconut, lime, Thai Basil, Thai Chilies and fresh mint. [all optional ingredients] With of course, her favorite thick, meaty, steamed juicy dumplings.
She also politely [rolling eyes] requested it all with the quickness. So, I decided to incorporate both for her temperamental, demamding midnight tummy. Since her wish is my eternal command, I obliged. Tho I'll easily admit, I do love making that sweet little baby girl smile. No matter what time of night it is!
Anywho, if you have these basic Asian ingredients at the ready, this dish can be made with lightening speed. My total prep time was less than 5 minutes. Three minutes actually. My total simmer time was less than 5 minutes as well. [thank God cause my girl was beyond hungry. in fact, she was what i'd actually call, "hangry"] Sheeze! I'm surprised she didn't bite me.
In the end, she adored her tummy soothing, spicy dumpling soup and fell right back into deep slumber. So all in all, know I'm a happy spouse and Chef! Albit a bit sleepy. 😴 Oh well, happy wife - happy life, right?!
I hope it pleases you and yours as well! With that, remember - "Always marry a Chef. Looks fade. Hunger doesn't."
