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.
We have probably ordered this umami bomb dish more times than any other Thai restaurant meal. When it’s prepared authentically it is haunting.
For a long time, we have been passionate lovers of the fusion cuisine that spreads out from the South of India, across the Malaysian Islands, and is greatly influenced by nearby Thailand and Vietnam. Combining the coconut cream, saffron and warm aromatic spices of Southern India, the lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, tomatoes and vermicelli of Malaysia and Thailand, to the pork sausage and umami fish sauce of Vietnam, this amazing feast is one to cherish for your own wild savory kitchen.
This unique and gorgeous dish is one of the top fish meals we have ever had in our lives. That covers a lot of ground and many years of cooking and a life lived fishing on the ocean. The story begins with a restaurant in Hanoi that is legendary. It serves only one dish… this dish… Cha Ca La Vong, which is Turmeric Fish with Dill.
