Spicy gochujang vodka pasta 🍝 I made a typical vodka pasta but threw some gochujang with the tomato paste, when caramelizing it. I topped it with some chili oil crunch. Served it with a side of chicken, and I scraped the bowl clean after yoga!🧘‍♀️ by @chefmesri

Rice and salmon with a green broth 😍 something about a soup post vacation just hits different. Yes, it doesn’t matter if it’s warm outside or I just came from a warm location.

The salmon is the blackened frozen salmon from Costco (@gigiharn and I’s favorite). It’s so flavorful and easy to go with any meal. The broth is white onion, green onion, ginger, spinach, cilantro, basil, lemon with chicken bone broth, some water, and a touch of coconut cream. I added soy sauce, honey, miso and fish sauce for flavor. I used my immersion blender to make it smooth. I topped my bowl with crispy shallots and chili oil. by @chefmesri

Birthday cake for @gigiharn 🎂

This cake is a mouthful… it’s an almond chiffon cake with a raspberry gel and lemon pastry cream filling with a Grand Marnier buttercream frosting. This was one of the best cakes I have ever eaten!!! I found the recipe from a tik tok, but idk the user. by @chefmesri

Fam dinner!! With the help up of @yassimesri @lidamesri

On the menu was poke nachos, miso honey chicken, coconut rice, and a seasame crunchy salad! For the poke nachos I got the fish from a local market, fried some wonton wrappers in halves, and topped it with green onion, cilantro, edamame, avo, ponzu, and siracha mayo. The chicken thighs was marinated in seasame oil, olive oil, miso, butter, honey and rice wine vinegar. A basic coconut rice recipe with fried garlic and ginger. The salad was a seasame dressing I found on Tik tok with cabbage, carrot, green onion, cucumber, avo, cilantro, mint, cashews, and mandarins! It was so yummy. I’m so grateful for my beautiful family and having the opportunity to cook for them 🤗🤗🤗 taken in La Jolla, CA by @chefmesri

PERSIAN FOOD😝 w/ @leighhannm and @gigiharn

Cooking this was a journey to say the least. We decided to garden before, and that made it definitely interesting! There’s no other name for this dish besides chicken and rice, maybe red chicken and rice (obvi I’m translating that from Farsi). It’s a very common dish in Iranian culture, if not the most after kabobs, and everyone has their own take on it. Gigi was actually on the chicken dish, she followed my uncles recipe. It had bone in chicken legs, tomatoes, onion, garlic, turmeric, saffron, chicken bouillon, and S&P. I did the rice, I tried making tadig (the crunchy stuff underneath but I failed). Leigh Ann made salad Shirazi, which is dill, tomato, mint, onion, cucumber dressed with lemon and olive oil. We served it with Greek yogurt and onion cups, bc Iranians LOVE onions. This dish was truly phenomenal, even if it took two hours to make. It made me so happy to experience my culture with my bestie. by @chefmesri

Cod with a stone fruit salad and a aji verde sauce from @wishbonekitchen cook book made with @cami_hart12 @reid.v

This was so refreshing and delicious! I was scared to make cod cause in the past every-time I have tried it came out really smelly, but not at all this time. We cooked it the day we bought it, so I think that helped. We had some white wine and sourdough baguette with butter on the side. by @chefmesri

Salmon bowl 🤩 I made some salmon with a pretty basic seasoning, lemon, and butter. I served it with coconut rice, pineapple pico de gallo, red cabbage, and a cilantro jalapeño Greek yogurt dressing.

A very healing and fresh bowl after outside lands.

(Side note: eating a home cooked meal in a matching pajama set makes it taste better ❤️) by @chefmesri
