I’m sure if you own a cell phone, TV or some sort of electronic, you have probably heard about cookie cereal. At the beginning of the pandemic, it was a huge trend on Tiktok, because I guess everyone had time on their hands to shape hundreds of little tiny cookies. So, I’m going to be completely honest with you, I made this cereal because of the trend and because I think really tiny things are super cute, so with that, I give you Fortune Cookie Cereal.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner woohoo! If you’re in a relationship, this is a really fun time to celebrate with your significant other. For the rest of us single folks, this is a really fun time to love on our friends and family and eat some cute treats!! I love any excuse to make cute food and having a holiday that people in my life are willing to spare some extra calories for the day. If we’ve learned anything this past year, it’s that life is too short, so eat the damn cookie (or whatever else you want)!

This post has been a long time coming for me. I love cooking Asian food, but I didn't always realize that most people don't even know where to begin when it comes to Asian cooking. I believe it starts in your pantry. I have an emotional attachment to my Asian pantry items. For me, even if I don’t have a ton of ingredients in my fridge, I can still make a super tasty meal, as long as I have my pantry stocked with all of my favorite products. I want to preface this post by saying that I am in no way affiliated with or sponsored by any of the brands that I mention. These are all products that I use daily or extremely frequently. Many of these products are also family favorites that I grew up with. Obviously, you can pick and choose what piques your interest on this list. However, as you’ll see in some of my upcoming posts, many of my recipes require several sauces and spices to achieve umami. Now I’ve mentioned umami before in one of my posts and said I would devote an entire post to the concept of umami one day, today is not that day – but soon! Essentially umami means depth of flavor, and many of the products on my list are going to help you achieve umami and that restaurant quality right at home. So please enjoy my list of Asian pantry items!
