It’s my first day Mother’s Day without my mom on this planet and I’m so sad. I have to remind myself and all those without their moms today that Mom is still here, she is everywhere, she is inside of me…..and if I sit still and just be, mom will reach out via a cloud, northern lights!, bird singing or a perfect sunset. Love you forever Mom. Would love one more hug, and a plate of your dumplings……..

An easy recipe for leftover dumpling mix, Chef @Mingtsai’s Chicken Tostadas! 😋 INGREDIENTS: Tostadas – 1 package Dumpling Wrappers – Cheddar cheese – Leftover Dumpling Filling (see recipe below) – Neutral oil – Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper INSTRUCTIONS 1) Have a small bowl of water and spoon ready on your workstation. 2) Lay out your dumpling wrapper on a dry surface. Place about 1 tbsp of cheddar cheese in the center of each dumpling wrapper. 3) Using a spoon, place about 1 ½ tbsp of your dumpling filling on top of the cheese. Wet the back of your spoon with water. Using the back of your spoon spread the dumpling filling gently over the cheese to the edges of your wrapper. Repeat to make the desired amount of tostadas. 4) Add about ⅛ of an inch of neutral oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place tostadas wrapper side down until GBD (golden brown and delicious). Flip over to cook chicken and melt cheese. Once cooked, place on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat until all tostadas are cooked. 5) To serve, place tostadas over greens and ENJOY! INGREDIENTS: Dumplings – 1 pound of ground chicken – 1 ½ cups shredded carrots – 6 scallions, sliced greens and whites – 4 tbsp fish sauce – ¼ cup ripped thai basil (smack the basil to release flavor before ripping) – Freshly ground black pepper to taste 1) In a large bowl mix all ingredients together. Pro Tip: To test the flavor of your filling, take about a tsp of your filling and microwave it until it is cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. 🌟 Make sure to SAVE this recipe to remember to make later! 🌟 #tostadas #tostada #easyrecipeideas #recipeideas

My next Cooking Live event with @familyreach is tomorrow, and I can’t help but take a stroll through memory lane and remember why I got started with such a great non-profit. In 2010, my journey with Family Reach began when Executive Director Carla Tardif introduced me to Darlene, a young woman dying of osteosarcoma. One of Darlene’s last wishes was to come to Blue Ginger and eat a meal I cooked for her and her family. Without hesitation, I said yes. Fulfilling Darlene’s wish for a meal at Blue Ginger with her family and seeing the joy it brought them amidst their struggles was beyond moving. Shortly after, Carla shared Raquel and Mikalo’s story. When Raquel’s son was diagnosed with cancer, she made the difficult decision to leave her job and support him through his treatment. As expenses piled up, they were eventually compelled to seek shelter in a homeless facility, where Mikalo continued his chemotherapy. The doctor emphasized the necessity of a bone marrow transplant for Mikalo’s survival. However, due to the shelter’s conditions, the procedure couldn’t be performed safely without a sterile environment post-transplant. Family Reach immediately stepped in, got them out of the homeless shelter and into their own apartment. Upon hearing this story, I knew I had to get involved and help beyond cooking a nice meal for families in the restaurant. That was 14 years ago and I haven’t looked back since. Help me help @familyreach make a difference in so many families’ lives. Click the link in my bio to donate to Family Reach to help me reach my goal of raising $12 million! #dogood

Boston! Join me tonight at Fenway Park for AAPI Night! Come challenge me to @mingsbings Bing Pong at Concourse A (near Jersey Street) at Fenway until the second inning. #fenwaypark #aapiheritagemonth
Bada boom bada bing! 🫓 📍@mingsbings at Food Lion MingsBings are crunchy wraps inspired by a popular Chinese street food. Iron Chef @mingtsai decided to put an American spin on the traditional Asian bing, and they are now available in the frozen aisle at Food Lion! These bings are a quick & easy healthy meal — they are completely gluten-free and nut-free, and ready in the air fryer in just 10-12 minutes. They have several new meat based flavors including: 🍔 Cheeseburger 🧀 Ham & Cheese 🍕Supreme Pizza 🍗 Buffalo Style Chicken (my personal fav) In addition to the meat-based bings, they also have several plant-based options!
Bing Pong vs Wally and Tessie? 🏓 That means it was a good night! 📍Find MingsBings at Red Sox games and concerts at Fenway Park! We are available on Jersey Street and at the Sam Deck. #bostonvegan #bostonfoodie #bostonfoodies #bostonglutenfree
