Yummy Lumpia Plate

To our customers and friends, Six years ago we decided to open our store to provide San Angelo and the surrounding community with something that was lacking. A place for Asian groceries and knowledge to help spread the wonders of Asian cuisine to the area. In that time we have done our best to accomplish these goals. We expanded when possible, and tried our best to accommodate the wants and needs of the community. Along the way we have met many people and made countless numbers of new friends. Since opening, our lives have changed as has the City of San Angelo. We have had our first child, Jakob, which many have undoubtedly seen at the store. We have also grown and matured from the pair of 25 year olds that first opened the store. The city itself has expanded to include a more diverse Asian food scene than it did 5 years ago. As time has progressed the need to make a change has become necessary. It is for these and other reasons that Mama Nida’s Asian Market will be making a ...

Been a little while since we put up a recipe. Let's fix that! Today's recipe is courtesy Paleo Diet Lifestyle , Eggplant Mushroom Curry . I stumbled across this recipe the other day while trying to figure out something to do with all the eggplant around the house. This was a great dish, and relatively inexpensive for those with a garden. It cover's the gamut of diet restrictions too. Paleo, Vegetarian/ Vegan, and Gluten free! As usual, items at the store are highlighted in orange . Ingredients 5 small eggplants (you could use two large ones, but I find it much easier to make more or less of the recipe when using the small ones); 4 oz (1/4 lb) white mushrooms, quartered; 1 tbsp coconut oil , clarified butter or other paleo cooking fat; 2 green onions, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 red chili peppe r (optional depending on how spicy you’d like the final dish to be); ½ tsp chili powder ; 1 tsp ground cumin ; 1 tsp ground coriander; ¼ tsp ground...

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! Picture courtesy: Paolo Camera

Due to some recent changes on Blogger, several parts of the blog are not working properly. So we'll be rolling out a new design in the next coming weeks. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes. As always you can keep updated at our Facebook Page.
