Tôm Kho Tàu always makes me think about my parents. Mom always made this using big water prawns when I was a kid. It was saved for special occasions because fresh water prawns are so expensive.

I’ve made Kalua pork a dozen times (recipe on my blog) but never used this specific liquid smoke so I got some and took my Kalua Pork to the next level! I also used... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite things to order and I look forward to it every time I go to a Mexican Restraunt is Super Micheladas! I love the grilled/seared shrimp-rimmed goblets to go with the ice-cold refreshing beer. I love it so much that I decided to get special schooner-style goblets to make my own Micheladas...

This has been my go-to barbacoa recipe for years. I took this aromatic and amazing barbacoa to the next level... Continue Reading →
