I got laid off work around the same time Hanna and I started dating, and because of that, we went into self-preservation mode just to try to get by. That meant no more extravagant dinner dates and just being frugal with what we had. Now, during that time period, she put me on to this easy hotdog stir fry when we barely had anything in the fridge, and let me tell you, it honestly has no business being this good! Even though we’re doing a little bit better these days, it’s still one of our go-to comfort meals when we don’t know what to eat or just have little brainpower to make anything else. You absolutely don’t need the written recipe, but just in case, here it is: https://feedthepudge.com/easy-hot-dog-stir-fry/ #hotdog #stirfry #easyrecipes #easymeal #hotdogstirfry #tiktokpartner #apitiktok

Shoutout to A Ma Chicken and Rice because they’re doing it right! This is one of our new favorite spots because the food is phenomenal, and the people behind it are just as amazing One of the biggest pillars of my platform is being able to share my love of culture through food - and that’s exactly what A Ma in Redmond is doing. They’re serving up some of the best Kuy Teav and Chicken and Rice in the Greater Seattle area, and judging by how packed their cozy restaurant is, it's clear that I’m not the only one who thinks so! Make sure you pull up to A Ma! 7405 168th Ave NE Suite #140 Redmond, WA 98052 Mon, Wed, and Thurs 11-4PM Fri-Sun 11-9PM #seattle #seattlefood #redmond #redmondfood #kuyteav #chickenandrice #tiktokpartner #apitiktok

The price of eggs is lowkey still kind of outrageous, and humble at-home dishes like this Thit Kho Trung Cut / Braised Pork Belly and Quail Eggs are meant to be cheap and made in large batches to feed the whole family. So instead of using chicken eggs, we’re going to use canned quail eggs! It’s also my go-to when I’m feeling lazy because you don’t have to cook or peel them, helping you cut down on the time it takes to make it!

If you’ve never had Lao food before, you’re missing out! Now, I know I primarily post Vietnamese food, and Thai food is already so popular, but across Southeast Asia, there’s so much incredible food and culture. Some of my personal favorites, but not limited to, are Lao, Cambodian, and Malaysian food. I have a handful of Lao and Cambodian recipes in my back pocket, and I’m super excited to share them with y’all. Consider this Lao pork belly with Jeow Som an entry point to the fantastic flavors representative of Lao cuisine!

Woke up feeling a little sick and groggy today, and honestly, that seems like a recurring theme in my life lately. It’s probably a good time to go and get checked tbh, because health is wealth. In the meantime, though, hoping this Canh Suon Heo/Pork Sparerib Soup will heal me up from the inside out and provide some comfort.

I know a chicken wing HATES to see me coming. But for real, though, there’s nothing wrong with buffalo wings - but, if you want to switch it up, these grilled Vietnamese BBQ wings are going to hit the spot! They’re SUPER easy to make, and you can marinate them the night before, and they finish cooking on the grill in about 15-20 minutes. SO GOOD.

I know making ribs in a pot sounds blasphemous, but you just gotta trust the process. This is Suon Ram Man / Caramelized Ribs, and it's a classic Vietnamese at-home dish that's typically served as a part of family meals. Usually, smaller pieces of spareribs are used, but we're making them with baby back ribs for that extra oomph!

Before I get flamed in the comments, just remember everyone is entitled to their own opinion and taste is incredibly subjective. With that said, give me Bun Rieu ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. I just think it’s an absolutely perfect dish and not only is it my favorite Vietnamese noodle soup, its probably my favorite soup, across all cultures too! What’s your favorite noodle soup?

This lil cold has been going around and lingering, so I've been craving comforting soup all week. Today, we're making one of my favorites Canh Cu Den/Beet Soup.

Growing up, I thought surf & turf from places like Red Lobster and Outback Steakhouse, was the height of luxury and fine dining. Now, there was just no way we could afford that back then, so my mom had her own version—Thịt Kho Tôm. The way the pork melts in your mouth, the shrimp soaks up all that rich, umami-packed sauce, and the rice ties it all together—this dish never misses.

Yellow Bee Market and Cafe is a fantastic neighborhood gem, and if I still lived in First Hill, I know I’d be here all the time. It’s a mini grocery store stocked with fresh produce and all your essentials, but the real highlight is their banh mi selection! They offer all the classic favorites alongside creative twists like BBQ brisket and teriyaki chicken banh mi. Plus, you can swap the traditional baguette for your favorite bagel, too! If you're in the area, Yellow Bee is definitely worth a visit! #seattle #seattlefood #banhmi #vietnamesesandwich

These Vietnamese Meatball’s origins can be traced all the way back to the Chinese Shumai. Aside from the similarities in their name, though, they are entirely different dishes. Vietnamese folks used the concept of Cantonese dim-sum style dishes and combined it with their own ingredients and flair to create the unique meatball dish, now known as Xiu Mai. In the dish, you can also pick up the influences from the French colonial occupation, as the meatballs are simmered in a savory sauce and served with a baguette. This is such a nostalgic and comforting dish for me, and it reminds me of my early childhood when I went to Saigon Deli with my mom.  The printable recipe is on my blog: https://feedthepudge.com/vietnamese-meatball-xiu-mai/ I also have a full recipe video breakdown on my YT, but let me know in the comments if you would like a short-form recipe video!

@ginger.scallion.seattle makes the best Khao Soi, and I had the honor of stepping into their kitchen, learning how to make it from scratch, and adding my own spin to it! The inspiration comes from Culinary Class War’s Shrimp Dim Sum, but instead of wonton wrappers, using the egg noodles to coat the shrimp balls just made perfect sense. The way the crispy shrimp balls soak up that broth and perfectly complements the bowl, while still allowing the soup to be the star of the show, makes it perfect - and if you ever watched Kuroko, the shrimp ball is the shadow that allows the broth to shine even further. Should we run this as a special at Ginger and Scallion?! #seattleeats #seattlefood #tiktokpartner #apitiktok #khaosoi #seattle

There’s a saying that with great broth comes great responsibility… and that’s making sure that not a single drop goes to waste. BBH is honestly just that good, and its broth is really unmatched—the perfect balance between spicy, sweet, and savory and full of complexity.  Printable recipe on my blog: https://feedthepudge.com/spicy-beef-noodle-soup-bun-bo-hue/ #bunbohue #bbh #vietnamesenoodlesoup #vietnameserecipes #TikTokPartner #apitiktok
