Asian foods,in all forms are one of my favourite things to cook. They are tasty,helthy and fast to cook, at least if you have done little preparations beforehand you start to cook.

Rye Pot Bread
Rye bread,smell of just baked rye bread is floating in my house! There is a popular misconception that you have to get complicated about rye flour. Not so.
