Hugh Jackman provided me some inspiration for tonight's dinner, Ginger Fried Rice Korean-style, a dish he apparently loves according to People magazine (but I'm thinking the wife would probably had benefited from some kind of soup for her sudden sickness). When he was younger, his father used to do a lot of business in Korea so he was exposed to the food and fell in love with it. Enough so to become a goodwill ambassador for Seoul and a fan-favorite in Korea. Anyways, I found this article in People today and decided to change it up a little bit (adding scrambled eggs and Korea's staple food kimchi). The family loved it along with a bean sprout banchan side dish that I prepared for them. The recipe provided is my version of this delicious recipe.  This and other recipes can be found at www.oliviajasonkim.com. ^^

This simple salad makes the most of all the naturally sweet vegetables that shine in summer. Sugar snap peas and bell peppers are tossed with sesame oil and lemon juice for a refreshing finish. This recipe comes to us from Jen of Domestic Divas.

This side dish is great with almost everything — from grilled chicken breasts to pork stir-fry. Try using leftover rice for an even crunchier texture. Sliced almonds or cashews would be a wonderful addition to this pilaf as well. Click here to see Awesome Asparagus Recipes.
