Cold weather season is here, and we're going to bring back the sweat.

  Extra, extras! Read all about it: 2oz. SPICY PINEAPPLE CHUTNEY 🌶️ $2.00 The newest hot sauce:  Try  Pineapple Habañero & Ghost Pepper Chutney . Pair this with Honey Walnut Shrimp,  Fried Chicken Dumplings , and our Fried Chicken Wings. Have you ever wanted our Rainbow house-made sauces hot, but did not want to use our roasted chilies in oil, or our green pickled chili peppers? Now you can have our sauces hot, without the flavor change (no vinegar flavor) or texture change (oily). Look for the  Ghost Pepper Sauces  to live up your dish! Chef Tammy admitted that she does not usually eat spicy food, and is kind of chicken about it. But seeing the abundance of just-harvested chilies at the Farmer's Market inspired her to make a fire-hot version of the familiar house-made sauces.  Find them in the EXTRAs. 1oz. Side of Nuoc Cham Sauce 🌶️ $1.00 On the sweet side: ⭐HONEY WALNUT SHRIMP 🍤 $18.00 One of our most popular dishes, Honey Walnut Shrimp, has a...

Seasonal Eats alert: Chili Peppers

  Ghost Peppers for Halloween! Ghost Pepper sauces from top to bottom: Sweet & Sour, Dumpling, Nuoc Cham. The large container is Pineapple, Ghost Pepper and Habañero chutney.  Tammy picked up a few pounds of hot peppers at the Farmer's market and we had a working/play session making sauces and new dishes to warm you up for the upcoming cold. Our most popular sauces:  Sweet & Sour, Dumpling, Nuoc Cham are now available in a scary-hot ghost pepper version.  What is a Ghost Pepper?   How hot is a ghost pepper?  The ghost pepper tips the Scoville scale at a walloping 855,000 to 1,041,427 Scoville heat units. for reference, it's 107 to 417 times hotter than a Jalapeño. The sauces are hot for Minnesota palates, but are delicious, fruity and robust with flavor. We are excited for you to try these with egg rolls, cream cheese wontons, dumplings, and even on fried rice.  Each 1 oz. portion is marked with a sticker, so you won't get it confused with the ...

Seasonal Eats alert: Brassicas

Image
  It's brassica season This means all your favorite crunchy vegetables are starting to see their peak season in these cooler temperatures. Tammy was able to buy all the colors of cauliflower at the Farmer's Market, so when you order our wok-seared cauliflower, you will get a jewel-box of colors.  WOK-SEARED CAULIFLOWER 🔰 GF $8.00 Other brassicas we serve are gai-lan, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnip. While we still serve these year-round, we make it a point to buy them locally grown, at peak flavor, and for brassicas, that's right now. Brassicas can be harvested even after a snowfall, and will over winter nicely if you let them. Keep them in the ground for the wildlife to feed on in the winter. In the spring, the same plants will bloom flowers and keep producing a crop. Last year's kale yielded this year's baby kale. Keep this in mind when you want to see green things popping out of your garden in the springtime. The Farmer's Market is still open and...

Back to Noodle School, Covid update

  Back to Noodle School: Mei fun, DIY your own pun. Pan fried noodles:  If you like a hint of smokey  wok-he i,  these fire-singed noodles are a good place to start.  Watch the video for quick visual of wok-hei.   Week 1, we learned about  chow fun  noodles, week 2, we learned about  mein . It's week 3 of  Back to Noodle School  and today it's all about  mai fun . These are thin, rice noodles, similar in size to an angel hair pasta, but without the density and gluten of a wheat noodle, or animal protein in an egg noodle. So they are gluten-free and vegan.  We use them in our most popular dishes;  Jai Mai Fun ,  Singapore Chow Mai Fun , and they are the backbone of our  egg rolls . Mai fun keeps everything light and balanced, and is an excellent conduit for flavor. These noodles are what soak up the nuoc cham sauce in your egg rolls, and provide surface area for a fragrant dusting of curry in the  Singap...
