Uyen's Inspiration

When I was five years old, I landed on the planet of Texas by way of Vietnam and found out that the proper way to eat a meal was to hold a knife and fork at opposite angles to each other while slicing down assertively on your steak. I quickly surmised that chopsticks were for home only, silverware was for everywhere else. And steaks, well they're an American dream come true so you'd better learn to slice it. Ever since that terrifying moment, I've been a lifelong student in the art of making food for friends and family. I'm humbled to share with you my memories of growing up. Come experience the joys of my sensationally dysfunctional and truer-than-fiction Vietnamese family history. None of the recipes got written down for a reason.
