Sherbert and I made Taiwanese popcorn tofu with Thai sweet chili sauce to go with our boba matcha latte. It's pretty common to see Taiwanese popcorn chicken or tofu served in boba cafes! Sweet Thai Chili Sauce 🌶 1 cup sugar 🌶 1 cup water 🌶 2 tbsp minced garlic 🌶 1-2 tbsp dried chili flakes (or birds eye chili if you're fancy) 🌶 2 tbsp cornstarch (slurry) 🌶1-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (to taste) Bring the water, sugar, chilis and garlic to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add apple cider vinegar, then add cornstarch slurry and bring back to a boil to thicken then let it cool. Taiwanese Popcorn Tofu 🍿 med-firm to firm tofu 🍿 cornstarch (or sweet potato starch) 🍿 1 tbsp chinese 5-spice powder 🍿 1 tbsp chili powder 🍿 1tsp salt 🍿addtl salt, chili and 5-spice for seasoning fried tofu afterwards Press the tofu between paper towels to squeeze out as much water as you can. I rested a cast iron on top of the tofu/paper towels. Cut the tofu into 1-1.5 inch cubes and toss in mixture of starch, salt and spices. Double fry and season with salt and spices. Serve with chili sauce. Note: if you want spicy you can add some cayenne to your seasonings. It was tasty but we want to try sweet potato starch instead of cornstarch next time. (You can buy thai chili sauce but were poor so we make our own) #wormonastring #magicworm #wormy #squirmies #pleasehelpimbored #wormonastringarmy #wormonastringmeme #wormonastringadventures #wormonastringcult #cookingwithwormonastring #taiwanesepopcornchicken #bobaasian #thaichilisauce #asiancooking #asianstreetfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CKusrskjgGR/?igshid=1kq7aaq9oo2eo

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT HAM 🐖🐽 Baths over. This is my spiced root beer glazed ham. Make a paste with brown sugar, dijon mustard, garlic powder, ginger powder, cardamom, black and white pepper and chili powder. Rub your ham down. Pour a can of root beer all over it. Bake it per manufacturers directions, basting often. In the last 10 minutes, bring a can of root beer to a boil tbsp mustard. Tbsp ginger powder, 3 tbsp brown sugar. Bring to a boil, make a slurry with some liquid and tbsp cornstarch. Let get THICC. Pull the hammo out. If you're strong, transfer it to a baking sheet. If you're me drain the juices. Set oven to broil. Spoon on the thickened glaze, broil ham till glaze is bubbly. HAAAMMMMMM. No worm help today. They don't like root beer like a bunch of weirdos. #wormonastring #magicworm #wormy #squirmies #pleasehelpimbored #wormonastringarmy #wormonastringmeme #wormonastringadventures #wormonastringcult #cookingwithwormonastring #bakedham #ham #glazedham #barqs https://www.instagram.com/p/CIHmHNdjebS/?igshid=4tu1npik4xy3

Our current obsession. Parmesan toasted grilled cheese! 2 slices of bread Softened butter or mayo (I like mayo cause it doesn't burn as fast) Shredded cheese (I used Monterey Jack, cheddar and mozz) Shredded parmesan Mix the parmesan and mayo/butter, spread it on one side of bread. Place bread in pan parm side down. Pile up the other cheeses then top with another slice of bread, parm side out. Grill till toasty and melty, flip.serve #wormonastring #magicworm #wormy #squirmies #pleasehelpimbored #wormonastringarmy #wormonastringmeme #wormonastringadventures #wormonastringcult #cookingwithwormonastring #cheese #cheesetoast #grilledcheese https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3Xc7tjqF9/?igshid=g4ea56h8ur4

Woerm time! Apparently Sherbert went to visit family without telling me. He brought his brother Herbert back with them. We've been seeing those #crabrangoon tacos with the fried rice and chow mein floating around. (Thanks @trixalcosplay ) But we didn't like the idea of the noodles and rice so we made #californiaroll 🍣 crab rangoon tacos! Cream cheese and mayo imitation krab filling topped with a carrot slaw(add julienne cucumbers too, I dont like them) with avocado slices, furikake and pickled ginger. Filling: Imitation krab 🦀 Green onions Softened cream cheese Mayonnaise Chili oil Garlic powder White pepper Salt Slaw: Brown sugar Rice vinegar Pepper Mayo Carrots (Cucumber) Cabbage Steps: Chop up krab and green onions, mix with other filling ingredients. Make slaw, mix the sauce first then toss your carrots, cabbage and cucumber, set aside Struggle to fry wonton shells I used a spatula to hold them folded then spread them a little before they start cooling. Layer the krab, slaw, avocado and sprinkle with furikake and ginger if you'd like. If you wanna be extra whip up some sriracha mayo or eel sauce. DEVOUR. #wormonastring #magicworm #wormy #squirmies #pleasehelpimbored #wormonastringarmy #wormonastringmeme #wormonastringadventures #wormonastringcult #cookingwithwormonastring #asianfusion https://www.instagram.com/p/CMGOs_djgdH/?igshid=4x8m3f3tgk8x

Happy Tết! My family is Lao and Cambodian so we don't celebrate #lunarnewyear (ours is in April) but I grew up and went to schools where a lot of Asians were Vietnamese and did celebrate. There's a ton of traditions, superstitions and rituals that happen during this celebration for all Asian countries that do celebrate the Lunar New Year. But my biggest take away is, that this is a time for family and friends to hit pause on their busy lives and come together to spread love, positivity and good luck going into the new year. Plus the food! Food is the universal love language! Today Sherberts cousins came to visit so we made Bahn Xeo, a vietnamese savory crepe named for the sizzling sound the batter makes when it hits the pan. It's simple, customizable, cheap to make and it's very worthy of being called comfort food. It can be filled with bean sprouts, pork, shrimp even bacon! Traditionally its served with a side of fresh veggies like lettuce, bean aprputsand mint along with a dipping sauce of nam pla. The crepes are a mix of rice flour, curry powder, salt, coconut milk and a bit of water. I added sliced green onions to mine. I filled mine with a little bit of crumbled ground pork. Topped it all off with chili crisp oil, fried garlic and crushed peanuts. Check out the video to hear that sizzle! #wormonastring #magicworm #wormy #squirmies #pleasehelpimbored #wormonastringarmy #wormonastringmeme #wormonastringadventures #wormonastringcult #cookingwithwormonastring #vietcooking #asianfood #asiancomfortfood #godmothersauce https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPzzbhjYwS/?igshid=90sjmdm8re75

Choriqueso Empanadas! Sherbert and I were craving chorizo and decided to make empanadas! We bought our #chorizo and the premade #empanada discs at our local hispanic market. It's pretty simple to put together and v. Tasty! Ingredients: 1 lb of mexican chorizo (pork or beef) 2 cups of cheese (I used a mix of cheddar jack and mozzarella) 1 medium onion chopped 1 package empanada disks (you can make your own or use pie crust dough) 1 Egg (if baking) Saute the onion till soft, then add chorizo and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain grease and let cool. Steal a bit of chorizo and make a taco snack. If your dough is frozen let it come to room temp. To assemble put a tsp of cheese in the center of the disk topped with 2-3 tsp of chorizo and a little more cheese ontop. Fold over the dough to create a half circle and seal. You can use a fork to seal or be fancy and crimp the edges. After assembling your empanadas let them chill while you preheat your oil to fry, or set your oven to bake at 375° If baking make an egg wash before baking. Bake for 18-20 minutes till golden brown. If frying, fry at ~350° for 6-8 minutes till golden brown. Let drain. .
