Mời cả nhà ăn cơm!

As I grew older there were some things I didn’t know. I’d research online on how to make particular things and I still do. Unless it’s quite a tricky dish, I will ask my parents, but the way that they communicate is like: „This much ginger (showing me their thumb), like this much soy sauce or like this much fish sauce (making a pouring action for a few seconds), you just taste it and you know.“ It’s not very precise. So, when I have to do large quantities for catering, I use online recipes, then do a trial and then talk to my dad about it to make adjustments.

I think maybe all children had to go through being forced to eat bitter melon because it has cooling properties. And now I really enjoy eating it and my parents grow their own. So I think this vegetable really reminds me of home and how much I have grown into an adult and can finally enjoy it.

Meine Art von Kochen, jetzt zum Beispiel eine Bolognese, ist mit asiatischen Zutaten geschmückt. Etwa dass ich mit Fischsoße oder Maggi oder mit Limette und Koriander koche. Das sind schon die Sachen, mit denen wir auch aufgewachsen sind.
