DIY Bibimbap for ✌ in a cast iron to get the rice nice and crispy. Love mixing all these flavors together. So bomb!

My original post got deleted the other day 🙄 so I'm reposting. Lots of people asked about the equipment used and the recipe for this pad see ew from my story a few weeks ago. Here it goes again. GRIDDLE I use it almost everyday! It is my most utilized kitchen tool/appliance. Cooking and clean up is a freaking breeze. I have the "Blackstone Adventure Ready 22" Griddle with Hood, Legs, Adapter Hose". I bought it at Walmart and have seen it for as low as $99, but I think its $179 right now. It's perfect for my little family and can feed a party of 20 ish. They come in lots of different sizes so get one that fits your needs. @blackstoneproducts PAD SEE EW RECIPE NOODLES: You should always use the fresh ho fun noodles (flat fat rice noodles). You can find them in asian markets. If you can't then use the dry fat rice noodles but I wouldn't recommend it because pad see ew isn't what it is without the fresh noodles. Break up the noodles into strands before using. SAUCE: I dont measure so adjust to taste. It's guesstimate 2T sugar and 1T dark soy sauce, 1T soy sauce, 1Toyster sauce, 1T fish sauce, pepper to taste. PROTEIN: Is using shrimp or tofu, no need to marinate. Other proteins, use soy sauce to season. VEGGIES: Minced shallots and garlic, Chinese Broccoli and/or other vegs. INSTRUCTIONS: Add oil to wok (or griddle) and add shallots and garlic and fry until fragrant. Add protein and cook until done. Set aside. Heat oil til SMOKY HOT. This is what gives pad see ew its smoky charred flavor. Add noodles and pour sauce over. "Wok" the noodles until coated through. Add back the meat, veggies and "wok". Make space to fry scrambled eggs and mix into the noodles once it gets cooked on one side. Enjoy.

Getting a little better at making Banh Cuon after rolling a whole tray of them. Had no shrooms but made do with what I had cuz I didn't want to run back to the store. 😷 I used a regular nonstick pan to make it so you dont need special tools. So easy!

My trip to Malaysia has officially been canceled yall! 🥺 So here I go reminiscing about the last trip I was on just a lil more than month ago. LAOS! This has got to be the most beautiful waterfall I've ever been to. Tiers upon tiers of swimmable pools filled with Gatorade Blue Frost water to cool you down. It's a main draw for tourists coming to Laos and for good reason! If you missed out on my trip, check out the highlights for good food and laugh at our goofy shenanigans. Happy Friday!

Vermicelli bowl with lemongrass chicken and eggrolls. Not being able to eat out has helped us save a ton of $dough$, but I feel like I've been eating twice as much. 😂 Dear Gym... please open soon.
