Asian cuisines like Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and others have rich culinary traditions with incredible depth of flavor that takes someone dedicated to learning the beautiful complexity of Asian ingredients to truly create incredible Asian meals- which is why I am so thrilled to welcome this week's guest, Sophia Nguyen Eng on the podcast to share her experience cooking traditional Asian cuisine (from a real food perspective).
Growing up in a Vietnamese family, Sophia noticed Asian food in the United States often relied heavily on processed ingredients containing artificial flavors and preservatives. She was determined to recreate the flavorful recipes she loved while making them healthier. The recipes she shares explore the proper preparation of grains, dairy, meats, and ferments, emphasizing fresh ingredients and traditional cooking methods while focusing on flavor, food quality, ingredient sourcing, seasonality, and eating nose-to-tail. In this week’s episode, we’re talking all things Asian cooking and her new book- the Nourishing Asian Kitchen.
