Might be the best Japanese bbq I ever had. The garlic sauce and bean sprouts was a new thing for me. They recommended we use the garlic sauce for the meats. It was heavenly!!

Has anyone made takoyaki before? I want to get a takoyaki pan but I also know there’s waffle plans that looks similar and was wondering if they work the same

Not homemade but stopped by my fav sushi spot earlier. This is a mix of the shrimp tempura and sweet potato rolls.

Any Sushi Lovers? 👀 comment your fav

Smoked Picanha, finished on the Blackstone.

I make foodz

Not cooking but I made a matcha latte with cream top

I made chicken pho!

Not cooked, but caught and devoured in its natural habitat today.

Ham & bean soup with onion, carrot and celery. Southern stone-ground cast iron cornbread.

Made dumplings with the little corn starch skirt for crispy ends. Wasn’t a full sheet like restaurants do it though ahah

This might be one of the best salads I’ve ever had. Try it!

Spinach leaves (shock in ice water bath)
Sliced apple (I like the crisp crunchy ones)
Thinly sliced shallots
Candied Walnuts (I only had sliced almonds)
Dried Cranberries (soak in warm water briefly)
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese (next time I might try with fresh sliced mozzarella or ricotta)

Topped with:
Crispy fried onions
[Mix] Honey Dijon Mustard with Sour Cream (who knew this was a great combo)
Freshly cracked black pepper

Friendly reminder for the boys that you should grill outside today.

Single serve dessert 😋

Vermicelli Noodle Bowl 🔥
Comes together pretty quickly

Final plating: Beef Bourguignon with a few slices of fresh sour dough

First batch of chili for the year, in a new cast iron cauldron.

Made hot pot toda, what’s your favorite ingredient to put in hot pot. Mine is enokki mushroom because it absorbs all the good flavors of the soup base

pork and shrimp rolled in a type of bean curd then fried to make crispy which is served with plum sauce and pickled vegetables

Sushi night

I'm a dope chef, but I want to be a better baker.

I want to bake something like this: pear and almond tart

Todays dinner was broiled mackerel with herbs and fish sauce as the dipping sauce

Per my mother’s recipe for papaya salad but using chayote instead of papaya and shrimp instead of dried shrimp.

It also has carrots, basil, chilies and my personal favorite crushed peanuts! Then you top it off with your own fish sauce!
