... Read moreHosting at home is always a wonderful opportunity to share not only food but also stories and warmth with loved ones. When I think about what I'd prepare for guests, I lean towards dishes that are flavorful yet comforting, showcasing a blend of traditional Asian flavors with a modern twist. For example, steak donburi with yuzu kosho combines juicy, tender beef with the bright citrusy heat of yuzu kosho, creating a memorable taste experience that's both satisfying and refreshing. The citrus salmon crudo is another favorite—fresh, light, and perfect as an elegant starter that subtly awakens the palate. Making pho bo with short ribs is a labor of love; slow-cooked broth infused with aromas of star anise, cinnamon, and ginger creates a rich base that feels like a warm embrace in a bowl. Adding the spicy tuna crispy rice adds texture and a kick, balancing the meal with an exciting contrast. For dessert, I love incorporating unique elements such as ube and matcha in a basque cheesecake—this fusion dessert offers creamy sweetness with earthy matcha notes. Sushi cake also makes for a visual and flavorful centerpiece, combining familiar sushi ingredients layered in a playful format that guests always appreciate. Each dish I choose to serve isn’t just about taste but also about creating an experience that feels personal and inviting. Cooking these dishes has taught me the importance of balancing flavors and textures, and the joy of sharing recipes that guests can eventually try at home themselves. Whether you’re new to Asian cuisine or a seasoned foodie, these dishes are approachable and guaranteed to impress! Feel free to explore the recipes linked on my page or bio—cooking for your guests is an opportunity to turn meals into memorable moments filled with love and care.

Do you let your kids cook?
I started allowing my kids to help cook when they were old enough to stand safely and stir or watch me in the kitchen. Now they each have a turn to come up with a meal if they want each week. Gives them so much confidence, and it counts for homeschool hours. #homeschoolcooking #kidscooking #ki

How to remain being a clean girl 🎧✨🧼
As a 20 year old living on her own this is what best helps me stay clean. 1. My kitchen. My kitchen must always be clean. It’s where I cook, keep my food, etc. I grew up seeing my parents not go to sleep until all dishes are done, counters are wiped, and food be put away, and floors are swept. I
