Yes, I’m a chef. No, I don’t cook every meal. 😅

Even I have lazy Sundays — and today that means soup dumplings with my girl. No apologies.

BUT when I do cook? This is what comes out of my kitchen. ✨

Every recipe, every secret, every shortcut I’ve learned over the years is in my cookbook. Link in bio. 🥢

I TRIED VEGAN FISH SAUCE AT THAIFEX… AND I HAD QUESTIONS. 👀

As a Thai chef, fish sauce is one of those ingredients that’s practically sacred. It’s the backbone of so many Thai dishes—the salty, savory, umami flavor that makes everything taste like home.

So when I spotted vegan fish sauce at THAIFEX, you know I had to try it.

Was I skeptical? Absolutely.

Was I surprised? Also yes. 😅

I love seeing how food innovation continues to evolve while making traditional flavors more accessible to different diets and lifestyles. Whether you’re vegan, curious, or a die-hard fish sauce fan, it’s fascinating to see where the future of food is headed.

Have you ever tried vegan fish sauce? Would you use it in your cooking?

👇 Tell me your thoughts below!

Our limited-time Thai Boat Noodles are rich, bold, deeply comforting, and packed with the kind of flavor you don’t forget. The broth is layered, savory, slightly spicy, and tastes like something you’d find at a street stall in Thailand. 🇹🇭

This is the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. 👀✨

Available for a limited time at our Asian Minted Forest Lane location only — so come get your fix before they’re gone. 🥢

What an honor it was to celebrate AAPI Month on WFAA Daybreak today ☀️🇹🇭✨

Thank you to the entire news team for welcoming me so warmly and giving me the opportunity to share a small piece of Thai culture, food, and tradition with your audience. 💚

Getting to roll summer rolls with Dia Wall and Matt Howerton was such a fun experience, and I’m so grateful for the kindness, energy, and support from everyone behind the scenes. 🙏

Moments like this remind me how powerful food can be in bringing people together across cultures and communities. 🇹🇭🥢

Don’t hate me, but… 👀
This is why restaurant Thai food tastes better 🇹🇭✨

A lot of home cooks are using the wrong ingredients, wrong sauces, and wrong techniques without realizing it.

Here are a few things Thai restaurants do differently:
• They use REAL fish sauce for depth of flavor
• Coconut cream and coconut milk are NOT the same thing
• Thai food should be balanced: salty, sweet, sour, spicy
• Fresh aromatics matter WAY more than powdered seasonings
• High heat cooking changes everything 🔥
• The brand of curry paste actually matters
• Jasmine rice makes a huge difference
• Most bottled “Pad Thai sauce” doesn’t taste authentic 👀

The good news? You can absolutely make Thai food taste restaurant quality at home once you know what to buy 🙌

I made a FREE Thai Pantry List with my favorite sauces, curry pastes, noodles, staples, and must-have ingredients so you stop wasting money on the wrong products.

POV: You finally convince your friends to try shirataki noodles… and now they won’t stop asking for the recipe 👀🍜

Low carb, filling, and actually SO good when you know how to cook them right. The texture debate ends today 😂

Even better with my famous hot sauce for the perfect spicy kick 🌶️🔥 Grab yours and thank me later 😏

Would you try shirataki noodles? 👇

Sometimes the best Thai cooking ingredients show up where you least expect them 👀 Found this firm organic tofu at Costco and had to grab it. Perfect for stir fries, curries, soups, crispy tofu dishes, and easy high-protein meals at home.

One thing about tofu — texture matters. Firm tofu holds up so much better in cooking and soaks up all the flavor 🤍

Would you try this Costco find? 👇

Took my daughter and her friends to see BTS in theaters tonight and honestly… watching their excitement was my favorite part 💜✨

The singing, the dancing, the bias debates, the matching outfits… it was such a fun reminder that music really brings people together across generations. Seeing them so happy made me emotional in the best way. 🥹

ARMY moms, you get it 💜

Trying the new smooth chili sauce from MegaChef 🌶️👀

It’s sweet, tangy, smooth, and honestly gives a more restaurant-style dipping sauce vibe. Perfect with spring rolls, dumplings, fried chicken, or drizzled over rice bowls.

Thai sauces all taste a little different depending on the brand… and this one surprised me. 👏🇹🇭

Would you try it? 👀
