You're great in bread.
•
I baked Japanese milk bread and made fish sandos with @gortonsseafood [#ad] Work has been a little rough this month and I went to my happy place - @target. My love for @target runs deep and it's become a one-stop shop to pick up home essentials, things I don't need but must have, and groceries. I love picking up all my favorite brands like @gortonsseafood to make meal prep easier throughout the week. Swapping in fish for a fried pork cutlet in sandos is the perfect meatless Monday idea too. Pile it up with a variety of veggies and lunch is served!
•
Sandos are extremely popular in Japan. The word "sando" is a cute nickname for "sandwich." When thinking of sandos, the katsu sando may be the first to come to mind. It includes two pillowy soft slices of shokupan (Japanese milk bread), a deep fried pork cutlet, tonkatsu sauce, kewpie, and some thinly shredded cabbage. It's a very simple and humble sandwich but tastes incredible. Other popular sandos are tamago (egg salad), wagyu, and even dessert versions filled with strawberries and cream usually called fruit sando.

Taco bout a fungi.
•
When I think of tacos, carnitas or fish are not the first things that come to mind. It's mushrooms! I absolutely LOVE mushrooms. They're meaty, full of umami, and extremely versatile in any dish. For this Cinco de Mayo, I made air fried maitake mushrooms finished with salt and nori flakes paired with homemade miso tortillas. I found this really fun yuzu furikake at @wholefoods and used it to top everything! The tortillas tasted amazing but still working on the texture (this was testing batch 3 - hopefully a recipe coming soon!).
•
There are over 50,000 species of mushrooms, including molds and yeasts. Mushrooms are extensively used all over the world in cooking. They're also common in medicinal purposes and commercial uses as well. There are over twenty species of cultivated mushrooms widely sold in markets globally today. Some species, like chanterelles, have not been cultivated successfully and there are concerns of global depletion due to high demand. Do you have a favorite type of mushroom?

May the Fourth be with you.
•
Celebrating with Grogu galactic blue macarons! I absolutely adore Grogu; especially because he loves to eat (minus one episode where he ate eggs #IYKYK). Baby Yoda ate these (officially named) Nevarro Nummies and it was just too cute. IRL I filled them with lemon buttercream frosting for humans to consume. I'm super excited to watch Star Wars: The Bad Batch which premieres today! Who else is watching it?
•
I haven't made macarons in years so my piping is a bit rusty. The texture luckily didn't suffer and the feet still came out on these thicker shells. I'll likely be making more macarons in the coming weeks as I forgot how much I love making them. I have some plans to make something really fun!
•
And special thanks to @lilybubbletea for sharing where she got that tray!

You can crust me.
•
Not an ad; I just love my local bakery! I've been happy to wait in line at @noevalleybakery and basically buy half the store. I can't stop eating their savory croissant tiles, quiches, fruit tarts, and, of course, fresh baked bread. Featured here is their olive levain which I've topped off with sauteed beet greens, prosciutto, poached egg, garlic cream sauce, salmon caviar, and microgreens.
•
You may have seen levain and sourdough used interchangeably. The two breads are similar as they both use preferments (a mixture of flour, water, and leavening agent) to add to the dough. Preferments are left to ferment before mixing into the dough to help the dough rise, give it flavor, and allow the dough to be easier to work with. A starter is a mature sourdough culture and falls under the category of preferments. Levain and sourdoughs use essentially the same starter but not all levain breads have a sour flavor characteristics we associate with traditional sourdough. Levain starters are a tad more versatile to use in non-bread baked goods like pastries and desserts.

Dump the hate.
•
With your support, $925 was donated to AAPI organizations to #stopasianhate! @mybfisgf hosted a #dumpthehate virtual dumpling-making fundraiser to fight against Asian discrimination, intolerance, and violence. My initial goal was to raise $500 and you guys almost doubled that. Mind. Blown. I spent the last weekend delivering dumplings all over the Bay Area for those who supported and I always love meeting up with local food-loving people. Dumplings and donations are a first step. There's still so much needed to do for racial justice and keep the movement going.
•
Luckily for me, some donators didn’t want dumplings (whew). I ended up making 325 dumplings from scratch. One batch was vegetarian with shiitake, cabbage, carrot, leek, and tofu filling and the rest were pork, shrimp, shiitake, and chives. The shiitake made the dumplings very umami-forward (my home smelled like mushrooms for days afterwards). I chose the pinch braid (Leaf pleat? Braided dumpling?) because it's one of my favorite shapes. The bottom side of the dumpling gets great surface contact with the pan to brown and crisp up while the braiding catches the sauce in all the little nooks and crannies. I added sesame seeds to the bottom of the dumplings when I cooked them for a great nutty aroma. The husband thinks it's a bit messy when cooking and he doesn't think it's worth it but I would recommend trying it next time you cook up dumplings!

I miss you pig time.
•
Happy Saturday, friends! This was definitely one of those weeks: work has been at an all time high; I had my first vaccine dose on Monday then got the worst headache for two days; and we lost power for half a day on Thursday. Quick and easy weeknight dinners were a must to keep me going this week. I always stock my freezer with pork chops because they're easy to sear up for a tasty meal. Served with a mushroom linguine. And a huge glass of wine.
•
There are always a few things I keep in my pantry and fridge at all times. Other than frozen pork chops, I always have dried pasta, frozen veggies, cheese, and eggs. There is no limit to what you can cook up for last minute meals! What's one thing you always have in your fridge/pantry?

It’ll be ok! Keep your gin up.
•
I can’t wait to hang out with friends again. I’ve already started planning menu items [#AD] We’ll start off with @empress1908gin grapefruit gin fizz served with honey goat cheese and asparagus tarts topped with a brûlée grapefruit. The perfect duo to kick off any post-COVID gathering!
•
That bright butterfly pea blue hue is undeniably gorgeous. But @empress1908gin is also super smooth and bright. It’s small batch micro-distilled with juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, butterfly pea blossoms and Fairmont Empress Blend Tea. If you don’t like overly spiced gins, this is the one for you.

Life doesn't get feta than this.
•
Is it too late posting this food trend? Baked feta and cherry tomatoes. With puff pastry. And baked garlic cloves. I twisted the ends of the pastry to make it a bit easier to tear off and dip into the feta/tomato goodness. Topped off with some quality EVOO and fresh basil. This was a perfect snack. I bought more feta blocks to play around with this flavor combination more!
•
I love puff pastry. There's always frozen puff pastry in my freezer for those last minute "I need to make something yummy” moments. The use of puff pastry with feta and tomato was perfect as it served almost like a chip and dip situation. Anyone love puff pastry too?

Any bunny got some chocolate?

Anyone else get super excited for seasonal candy? I bought a bulk bag of Cadbury mini eggs and I'm just topping everything with them. I made brownie cupcakes with coconut cream cheese frosting, sprinkled with coconut and, you guessed it, Cadbury mini eggs. Quite cute but I definitely made too many. I keep forgetting I have no office to bring in baked goods lol. Happy Easter! 🐰
