This is our favorite snack finger food in the world. You can carry them anywhere, eat them on the run, stop at a park bench, or sit back and munch them in mid flight to some hastily planned destination. They are one of the healthiest snacks you can make for yourself and your family.
This fabulous Vietnamese dish is an umami bomb explosion of flavors. The contrast between the fire charred pork and the crunchy peanuts and the garden fresh lettuce and veggies with the luscious spicy sweet and sour dipping sauce is so exotic it’s just other worldly. Legendary in Vietnam as the ultimate street food, this is one of our absolute favorite dishes using pork. Give this one a whirl, it will transport you to an amazing umami world! Enjoy!
We love the exotic flavors of this fabulous Thai soup, spicy, a bit sweet and salty, creamy, with fresh lemongrass and galangal flavors, with a sumptuous umami taste. It’s easy to prepare and is crazy addictive with an intoxicating aroma.
This one is the umami bomb of Thai street food, the most exotic flavored and juicy lip smacking chicken ever put on a stick.
Rebekah is a California girl, born and bred, but I grew up in a little town in Illinois, and my geographical boundaries were Lake Michigan, corn fields and factories. It was a time and a place where there was almost zero opportunity to experience exotic foods, flavors and cuisines. Butsince I was a boy, I just naturally craved the exotic… coconut, limes, mint, spices,and the smell of garlic and ginger. Thai and Vietnamese meals have all that stuff,and when I figured that out in college and beyond, those are the restaurants Iwould always seek out… and I learned from all those meals how to make them.
