Portfolio Example 1

Each Portfolio entry (like this one) can house any content you would like! A few examples of what you can add are text, images, buttons, a slider, or an image gallery.

You can also categorize your Portfolio entries into multiple categories. For example, if you’re a photographer, you could have categories for Weddings, Engagements, and Families. If you’re a designer, you have categories for Brand Design and Web Design. Each Portfolio category has its own separate page containing multiple entries under that category, similar to how post categories work in WordPress.

Put some respect on Sichuan hot pot 😡 Millions of Put some respect on Sichuan hot pot 😡

Millions of people are hearing about Sichuan hot pot in the context of appropriation this week, but is anyone actually doing the work towards appreciation?

My fascination with hot pot is personal. My family operated a hot pot restaurant, but the heart of it has always been the same: it’s food built for community. It’s what family Sichuanese families in America eat in place of turkey for Thanksgiving.

And since nuance is flattened online, I’ll put it plainly: this is not the most traditional version of Sichuan hot pot. I’m blending techniques from Chongqing and Chengdu while incorporating Mexican chilis, Indian spices, and American produce. Sichuan hot pot was born from resourcefulness, and it remains one of the core expressions of how we cook and gather.

The one thing I wish I added in the video was hot pot restaurant egg fried rice, the real iykyk 😉
Sardine sesame onigiri with @wildplanetfoods #ad Sardine sesame onigiri with @wildplanetfoods #ad

2 cups cooked short grain rice
1 can @wildplanetfoods Sardines in EVOO 
2 tablespoons mayo
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 nori sheets, halved diagonally
Kosher salt

In a bowl, add the drained sardines, toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, and mayo. Mix until evenly combined. 

Wet your hands with a splash of water and spread a big pinch of salt between your palms. Flatten a quarter cup of warm rice into a circle, then add a couple tablespoons of the sardine filling. Cover with another quarter cup of rice and squeeze with cupped hands to seal the filling inside. 

Wrap with half a sheet of nori and roll the exposed edges in the remaining sesame seeds to garnish. Makes 4 onigiri.
