New Design: Done!

By Jason
For our frequent visitors, you may have noticed a bit of a change in the appearance of the blog. Thankfully casualties were few, and I needed a new keyboard anyways. We hope this change is a bit more user friendly. Your favorite posts are still here, including all of the recipes. Tell us what you think of the new look and if there is anything you'd like to see.

On the storefront, our new sign should be going up soon. Permits are in hand and we just await the installers. As soon as it is in place we'll be showing it off.

Stayed tuned here for new recipes and posts coming soon. As always you can keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter over on the right side there. We appreciate your patience during this design transition, and look forward to seeing you at the store!

Cooking Vietnamese Pho with Chef Quang Le

By
Cooking with Chef Quang Le Researching food and spices is a part of our family's daily routine since we ventured into the food industry. Learning about the different components of food makes us appreciate every dish, snack, and drink that we consume. We take every opportunity that we can to continue learning about the flavors of the world. This weekend, I organized a class with a local Vietnamese chef who loves to entertain and educate people through food. Chef Quang Le, co-owner of Clay Pot in Waco Texas, had agreed to teach a class on how to cook traditional Vietnamese Pho.  The class is sponsored by the Association of Asian-American Women in San Angelo, Texas. It was such a refreshing class complete with food history, health benefits, recipe book, and entertainment.  So What is Vietnamese Pho Soup? Vietnamese Pho Soup is considered the national dish of Vietnam. It can be seen as a mirror that reflects the heritage of the Vietnamese people and their w...

Shirataki Noodles

By
 In the last few months, we've been getting many requests for Shirataki ( しらたき ) noodles. Also known as Miracle Noodles. Thanks to Dr. Oz Show and our local newspaper , many consumers are now widely aware of the benefits this miracle noodle can provide as a carb substitute. Shirataki are low carb, low calorie, low fat, high soluble fiber, and gluten-free noodles made from konjac yam or elephant yams. These Asian yams are also called "Devil's Tongue" Yams and the word "shirataki" means "white waterfall", which describes the translucent appearance of the noodles. Shirataki have little to no flavors, they absorb the flavor of the sauce or soup that you cook them into. You can find these noodles in most Asian grocery stores and some health stores. There are the traditional shirataki and konnyaku and there are tofu shirataki noodles. Tofu Shirataki are soy base and requires refrigeration before its open therefore it has a shorter shelf life t...
