Taro Swirl Mooncakes

Would you believe me if I told you these pretty, swirly taro mooncakes are WAY easier than they look? No really. They are. The hardest thing about making taro mooncakes is acquiring the taro. If you have an asian supermarket near you, you might be able to find it fresh in the vegetable section, or

Black Sesame Shortbread Cookies

Totoro To-to-ro! I love the ideas of “everyday sweets”. Cupcakes and doughnuts and all things fancy and decadent are wonderful, but sometimes you want just a little something, not too sweet or heavy, that you can have with a cup of jasmine tea as a mid-afternoon snack. And this is the “everyday sweet”. Today we’re

Sweet Potato Kimchi Hash

If the above video doesn’t load for you, click here to see it on TikTok! I love kimchi. I love Korean banchan dishes. But somehow, I have the worst of luck when it comes to making them. A few years ago, I made a big batch of kimchi. I set it out to ferment… and

“The” TikTok Feta Pasta

You’ve probably heard of the TikTok feta pasta by now… I mean, haven’t we all? But if you haven’t? You’re in for a treat! The #fetapasta was trending on TikTok about a month ago, but I am perpetually late to trends! … I’ll get to dalgona coffee in a year or so. Part of the

Tamago Breakfast Sandwich

Question: “has anything happened that has made you question continuing tiktok or any mean comments?” Surprisingly, not at all! Y’all have been the most supportive, wholesome, wonderful people and I’m really grateful that I’ve gotten so many sweet comments from you all. Occasionally someone wants to be rude, but the thing is, I’ve been making

Soft-boiled eggs

Today’s Q&A question is, “any food you just can NOT eat?” and this is pretty similar to that “what foods do you hate” question, but I realized, there was a food I forgot about. Like I mentioned last time, I can eat just about anything. Even balut, I’ve eaten it before, I could eat it

Hokkaido Milk Bread

Today’s Q&A question is, “what is your favorite color?” I always find “favorite” questions to be difficult, because I’m one of those people who’s like, “I dunno, it depends!” In general, I’d probably go with purple. Like a soft, pastel, lavender type of purple, or purples with warmer tones. If we’d had a wedding with,
