Kimchi egg drop miso soup is a flavorful and comforting soup that combines the umami-rich flavor of miso with the tanginess of kimchi and the silky texture of beaten eggs. The eggs are added toward the end to create thin ribbons of egg throughout the soup. The result is a simple yet satisfying meal that’s both hearty and light.
If you’re looking for a delicious twist on avocado toast, you have to try kimchi avocado toast. The tanginess of kimchi perfectly complements the creaminess of avocado for a super tasty treat.
Spicy miso ramen anyone? This spicy miso ramen features a silky-smooth broth that’s umami-rich with a mild kick from chili bean paste for some extra oomph.
You NEED to make these chili oil fried eggs to start off your day!
These kimchi quesadillas are the perfect twist on your typical quesadilla with soft, gooey cheese complementing tangy kimchi.
One of my favorite dishes growing up was this Vietnamese chicken salad (gổi gà). My mom would serve this either alone or with rice porridge drizzled with ginger fish sauce (mắm gừng). It’s light, tangy, slightly sweet, and full of yummy herbs like Vietnamese coriander and fried shallots. For an added crunch, you can add some shredded cabbage, but it’s totally optional!
This dill pickle potato salad is a twist on your standard potato salad. It's loaded with potatoes, fresh dill, and dill pickles. It's the perfect make-ahead side dish for the summer!
This is one of my favorite salads, inspired by my fiancé’s mom. I’m a huge fan of bulgur wheat - I love that it’s so versatile, you can add almost anything to it and you won’t go wrong. The flavor bomb of sweet, tangy, and citrusy in this salad is perfect for spring or summer.
Canh chua cá is an iconic Vietnamese sweet and sour soup made with pineapples, tamarind, tomatoes, and catfish. It’s sweetened with pineapple and its sour component comes from tamarind.
One of my favorite ways to repurpose leftover duck? Make roast duck noodle soup! Tip: if you reheat the duck in an air fryer, the skin will come out extra crispy and the meat super moist, just as if it’s freshly roasted!
Seared salmon fillets basted with a sweet and savory lemon infused honey, soy sauce, and garlic glaze. This is a must try!
These creamy egg noodles and meatballs are made with flavor-packed homemade meatballs smothered in savory, saucy goodness and served over egg noodles. So yummy!
