A Simple “Use What You Have” Dinner

Tonight was a simple “use what’s in the fridge” kind of meal and honestly, those are often the best.

I had leftover seaweed soup gently boiling on the stove. On one pan, I sautéed olive oil and minced garlic, then added plain po***ck fish cake (cut into large bite-sized chunks). Once nicely browned on both sides, I poured in two eggs (lightly mixed with chopsticks), added a touch of Japanese soup base for flavor, and finished with fresh green onion. So simple, so comforting.

On the other pan, Napa cabbage.
Washed, cut into 2–3 inch pieces, then lightly pan-fried with olive oil, garlic, and garlic sea salt. At the end, just a small spoonful of miso sauce for depth. The cabbage becomes juicy, slightly sweet, and pairs beautifully with the savory miso.

This is lifestyle medicine in real life:
✔️ Whole ingredients
✔️ Balanced protein + vegetables
✔️ Healthy fats (olive oil)
✔️ Quick enough for a busy clinic day

No fish cake? Just use eggs.
No Napa cabbage? Use whatever vegetable you have. Healthy cooking is flexible — not fancy.

Home cooking is one of the most powerful health tools we have.

From Stir Fry to California Rolls: Our Weeknight 🍣

🥬 Chinese Water Spinach with Abalone

Chinese water spinach is crunchy, rich in fiber, iron, and essential minerals.

How I made it:
• Defrost frozen abalone under cold running water.
• Scrub gently with a clean toothbrush to remove sediment.
• Slice about ½ cm thick.
• Stir-fry in garlic and butter, add a little olive oil and light garlic salt.
• Remove quickly (do NOT overcook the abalone becomes tough).

In the same pan:
• Add garlic + olive oil.
• Add water spinach and cover to wilt.
• Splash a little water to steam and lift flavor from the pan.
• Add oyster sauce.
• Return abalone, toss briefly, and turn off heat.


🥩 Soy-Marinated Beef with Glass Noodles & Shiitake

How I made it:
• Cook pre-marinated soy-sweet beef halfway.
• Boil thick glass noodles separately and drain.
• Add large chunks of shiitake mushrooms.
• Add noodles into beef mixture.
• Cook together 5–10 minutes.
• Finish with black pepper.


🍣 DIY California Roll Platter

We made this interactive so everyone could assemble their own rolls.

Ingredients:
• Quality imitation crab (higher fish content preferred)
• Thinly sliced carrot
• Thinly sliced cucumber
• Sweet & sour pickled radish
• Dry roasted nori

Prep tips:
• Rinse crab lightly and shred by hand.
• Slice vegetables thin.
• Heat nori briefly in a dry hot pan, flip once or twice to make it extra crispy.
• Cut into 4 squares for easy hand rolls.

Serve with:
• Soy sauce + wasabi
OR
• Wrap ingredients in pickled radish for a lighter, lower-carb option.

Why everyone in Las Vegas feels sick in the spring 🤧🌵

In February–April, we see MANY patients thinking they have a cold or virus…

But the symptoms:
• linger for weeks
• come and go
• never fully worsen
• never fully resolve

👉 That’s usually ALLERGY.
Las Vegas has a unique environment:
wind + desert plants + rapid blooming + high pollen count
So your body reacts.

Common clues it’s allergy:
• itchy nose/eyes
• clear runny nose
• morning congestion
• worse outdoors or windy days
• symptoms lasting >2 weeks
• repeats every month

Even kids often come in with “low grade fever feeling sick again”
Sometimes it IS a virus, but when it keeps happening, think allergy.

What helps:
✔ Shower after outdoor exposure
✔ Nasal rinse
✔ Gargle
✔ Change clothes
✔ OTC antihistamines / nasal sprays

Allergies are annoying! But manageable.

If you’re unsure, we can help you tell the difference ❤️

Easy Healthy Beef Stir Fry

Most of us don’t have extra time,but that doesn’t mean we have to give up real food.
If I can cut down prep time and still serve a home-cooked meal, I’m all for it.

This weeknight win came straight from Trader Joe’s:
• Pre-marinated Bulgogi beef
• Pre-washed Asian-style mixed vegetables

On the pan:
• Generous garlic + olive oil
• Medium heat, then add beef strips with the marinade
• Stir-fry and cut into bite-size pieces
• If the beef isn’t as tender as you like, mix a little cornstarch with water and simmer gently in the sauce, it naturally tenderizes and thickens beautifully
•Once the beef is glossy and coated, remove it from the pan.
Leave some sauce behind and stir-fry the vegetables in that flavor.
Optional: a light sprinkle of garlic salt.
Add the beef back in, toss together, all done.
•Serve with rice or noodles.

Dinner for a family of four:
$22 beef + $6 vegetables

Healthy eating at home can be fast, affordable, and realistic.
Real food. Real life. Sustainable habits.

Celebrating something truly special in Las Vegas 💛✨

Sunny Health DPC and your Miss Fabulous pageant winner, my heart is so full being part of the celebration of the first Filipino gallery in Las Vegas — Pre-Op Gallery 🎨🇵🇭

What an incredible evening surrounded by talented artists, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and families who came together to honor Filipino culture, creativity, and heritage. The energy in the room was inspiring — art that tells stories, pieces that reflect resilience, and a shared pride that you could truly feel.

Culture is medicine.
Connection is medicine.
Community is medicine.

When we gather to celebrate identity, creativity, and meaningful causes, we nourish more than just our minds — we strengthen mental wellness, belonging, and purpose. These are powerful foundations for long-term health and longevity.

So proud to see Las Vegas continuing to grow as a city that embraces diversity, art, and good causes. Congratulations to Pre-Op Gallery and everyone who made this milestone possible. This is just the beginning. 🌺

Here’s to celebrating culture, supporting local artists, and building healthier communities together.

✨ Easy Sukiyaki-Inspired Beef Veggie Rolls

Healthy Weekday Eating
Today’s quick, doctor-approved comfort dish came together with what I had in the fridge, thin-sliced sous-vide roast beef from Costco, leftover veggies, and a few pantry staples. Think sukiyaki-inspired, light, flavorful, and packed with real ingredients.

🥩 What I used:
• Thin-sliced sous-vide roast beef (gently warmed in a pan)
• Asparagus (but mushrooms, onions, zucchini, or green onion all work beautifully)
• Daikon radish (for wrapping)
• Olive oil + sea salt for veggies
• Sweet & sour pickled radish (optional, from Asian market)

🌱 Simple sesame sauce (the secret!)
The key is roasted, unseasoned sesame seeds, they bring amazing aroma and healthy fats.

Mix:
• ~3 Tbsp roasted whole sesame seeds
• 2 Tbsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp Japanese BBQ sauce

Lightly crush the sesame seeds (even with a wooden spoon or stick) to release the aroma, no need to fully blend. Spoon over your rolls.

To assemble:
Lay out daikon → add cooked veggies → place warm beef → roll it up → drizzle sesame sauce on top.

This works beautifully as:
✔️ A light dinner
✔️ A fun appetizer
✔️ A hands-on family meal where everyone makes their own rolls

High protein, colorful veggies, healthy fats, real food medicine in action.

Hope you enjoy this easy weekday idea!

Here’s to health, happiness, and enjoying every season of life.

🍲 Easy Instant Pot Beef Stew

Healthy Home Cooking for Busy Families
Cold winter nights call for simple, nourishing comfort food. Today I’m sharing an easy Instant Pot beef stew using leftover vegetables, practical, flexible, and perfect for busy families who still want real, healthy meals at home.

Recipe:
I start with pre-cut stew beef (super convenient from the grocery store), then grab whatever vegetables I have in the fridge. Hard vegetables work best for stewing, like daikon, carrots, and cabbage. For extra flavor, add onion, garlic, and green onion if you have them.

Simple sauce:
• ~3 Tbsp soy sauce
• ½–1 Tbsp sugar
• Black pepper
• Cooking wine (or white/red wine if available)
• 5–6 cloves garlic (or more!)
Optional: a drizzle of sesame oil

*Let the beef sit in the sauce while you prep.

Brown the beef in a hot pan with olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper, just enough to get color (no need to cook through). Transfer to the Instant Pot.

Using the same pan (don’t rinse it!), lightly sauté some of the vegetables with garlic salt and pepper. Add a splash of water to lift all that flavorful beef goodness from the pan, then add veggies to the pot.

Pour in the sauce, mix well, close the lid, and cook on Manual for 20 minutes.

Once done, carefully release the steam. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a little cornstarch mixed with water and use sauté mode to thicken. Otherwise, enjoy it as is, it pairs beautifully with rice on cold nights.

You can also switch up the protein, chicken thighs or drumsticks work wonderfully for stews because they stay juicy. This dish stores well and freezes great for future meals.
