Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, all you need is a recipe that delivers great results with minimal effort – that’s the idea behind 80/20. In my 80/20 recipe series, I’ll show you how to make your favorite dishes with just 20% of the effort for 80% of the results 🍳 I test these recipes every week, sometimes even multiple times, to ensure you get delicious results without the hassle 🤓 Follow along for more easy, delicious recipes, or check them all out on my website: thefoodie.menu I built this recipe app to make cooking simpler and more enjoyable for everyone. Every ingredient and step is precise and clear, and if you ever feel stuck, there are step-by-step video guides for each recipe. The app also includes macros, nutrition breakdowns, and much more 🔥 #easyrecipes #asianfood

This is the easiest & crispiest Peking Duck you can make in an air fryer that get’s you as close as you can to that legendary crispy skin. You also don’t need to roast an entire duck or blow air into a duck with a bike pump — that’s not a joke, that’s exactly what the traditional recipe calls for. For the full recipe with step-by-step video guides, macros, and more, check out: thefoodie.menu/recipes/80-20-peking-duck 👨‍🍳 [Use “DUCK” for access] Or comment “duck” or “recipe” below for a direct link to the recipe! Cooking doesn’t need to be hard or complicated. Often, you’re simply looking for a recipe that gets you most of the way there with minimal effort, hence 80/20. So I did a lot of homework, testing different seasonings, dry times, and cook times — and I think this is probably as close as you can ever get with simply an air fryer. Now to be perfectly clear, this method could never beat the real Peking duck you would find at a restaurant in Beijing — that would be a ridiculous claim, but it does give you remarkably crispy and delicious duck that will definitely satisfy your Peking duck craving. #easyrecipes #airfryerrecipes #pekingduck #chinesecuisine #weeknightdinner #dinnerinspo

Part 1 | Trying to impress my asian parents with fine dining 😅 Kiln is an up and coming fine dining restaurant in San Francisco and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to introduce my parents to the world of fine dining It took a bit of convincing to get my dad to give it a go, cause… I mean come on, traditional asian parents and fine dining? like oil and water 😅 In the end, my parents really enjoyed the experience! Some of their favorites were the shima aji, spot prawn, and (of course) the Norwegian king crab. If you can tell, my parents have a soft spot for seafood 😂 Before leaving, the restaurant gave us gifts which included a cute Polaroid of us at dinner. Thanks for the excellent experience and beautiful memory @kilnsf !!
