Hoisin Salmon w/ Baby Bok Choy & Sesame Ginger Noodles

*2/$25


"The salmon melted in my mouth (and my kids mouths). They loved it! I liked the fresh spinach too. The noodles were delicious. I was surprised that the kids liked the noodles because I tried switching to whole wheat before and they did not eat it.  I would have rank this dinner at the top along with the meatballs." - Ramona

"Last nights dinner was fantastic.  I was a little hesitant on the veggie but it was wonderful!  Not one morsel left!" - Karen  

"The meal last night was GREAT! Thanks Ai, Robin and I LOVED the food last night and the convenience too! Thank you again and I WILL be seeing you again soon." - Chase

Pulled Pork w/ Garlic Rice, Side Salad & Home Made Tortilla Chips!!!


"Nicole and I are excited about the pulled pork.  This is quite possibly our favorite dish." - Lynne

"My husband and I absolutely loved the pulled pork!   We will definitely be ordering that again." - Eydie

"The pulled pork was fantastic!!  Believe this is now my favorite.  Can't wait for lunch!"  - Karen 

"Loved the pork and the sweet garlic ranch. Tasty!"--Irene  

"It was absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! The pulled pork was so tender, and had an incredible amount of flavor. Both my husband and I raved over it, and can't wait to try more of your yummy dinners." - Debi

If you're not a fan of pork, this dish might just turn you into a pork lover. It is pure torture to be in the same room while this is slow cooking for 5 hours! The pork is incredibly tender, juicy and massively savory. It goes perfectly with the Garlic Rice. And finally, to top it off are 2 sauces that totally compliment each other: Spicy Cilantro and Sweet Garlic Ranch, which you can also use for your salad dressing! If that's not good enough, you can scoop everything up with Ai's home made tortilla chips seasoned with an amazing blend of sweet and savory spices!

Crispy Ginger Fish w/ Rice Salad 
(trying rice this time, to switch it up a bit!)

*$2/25 or 4/$45*

"This is mine and Irene's favorite!" - Hilda

  I make this for a lot of our family gatherings (especially the Asian ones).  Yes, it's a whole fish, with bones and all!  If you've never tried eating fish on the bones, you definitely need to start with this.  The fish is rubbed with garlic and ginger and fried til nice and crispy.  To serve, just take a knife and lift at the two cut slits and pull apart from the bones. Place fish on top of rice noodles, salad and drizzle on some fish sauce.   (If you're absolutely terrified of the fish head, just let me know and I'd be glad to remove it prior to packing!) 

To Reheat:  You can either bake it at 375 til crispy or do a quick broil for a few minutes.  

Thai Chicken Salad w/ Sticky Brown Rice & Stir Fried Veggies

Crispy Caribbean Fish w/ Orange Zest Basmati 

 Mango Slaw & Peanut Ginger Dressing
(2/$25)

I made this for my mom last month for mother's day and she loved it. These fish fillets have a great ginger, curry, cumin coating and are so incredibly flaky and crispy.  Add it with the orange zest basmati and mango slaw and you have another one of Ai's refreshing summer dinner!

To reheat fish, place in oven at 350 for 10 minutes until crispy.  

Grilled Vietnamese Meatballs w/ Rice Noodles

"The meatballs were very delicious. Even my 2 kids (who really only like chicken nuggets) loved them. The combination of rice noodles, salad and fish sauce blended very well."--Ramona

"Ai, everyone I shared my dinner with last night thought the meatball dinner was delicious! I know I will be ordering more for my family and friends. My husband who was skeptical to eat food that "he did not know where it came from"  ate it and WOW, was he surprised. He asked me for more dinner which I had no more. So thanks for such a great meal."--Hilda
