Ike’s Vietnamese Fish-Sauce Wings were one of the most popular dishes at Andy Ricker’s Pok Pok in Portland. Marinated in a blend of garlic, fish sauce, and sugar, then coated in rice flour and fried to crispy perfection. The final glaze of fish sauce, sugar, and roasted chili paste, provides a sweet, spicy, and umami-rich flavor.

Win Son’s Fan Tuan
My love for Win Son knows no bounds, and the latest recipe I tried from their phenomenal cookbook is Fan Tuan – a popular breakfast treat in Taiwan that’s bursting with flavor with a delightful contrast of textures.

The salad is topped with small croutons (ensuring a crunch in every bite), thinly sliced shallots, and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan!
Chris Morocco’s BA’s Best Lasagna
