One of the most loved dishes from our September dinner was the vegetarian dumplings.

Many guests couldn’t even tell they were vegetarian!

We filled them with tofu, bean curd, and beautiful local vegetables, zucchini and arugula from Chance Farm , and oyster mushrooms from SporeAttic LLC

So simple, but packed with freshness and umami. For me, this dumpling was a perfect way to express 鲜 (xiān), fresh, savory, and full of the natural flavor of each ingredient. ❤️

Mid-Autumn Festival is about being together, but also about remembering those we miss.

Growing up, it meant mooncakes, the scent of osmanthus flowers, and family gathered around the table. As I get older, I realize that no matter how far we go, the flavors of home always stay with us.

Now, in my own way, I bring those memories to my table and share them with the people around me.

A full moon, a table of good food, and those we love always in our hearts.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 🌕🥮

I spent my teenage years in Anhui 安徽, the region where tofu is believed to have originated nearly 2,000 years ago.
Fresh water tofu was something I often had for breakfast, warm, soft, with that beautiful pure soybean flavor. Such a simple everyday food, but the taste and feeling of it have stayed with me all these years.
Tomorrow night, I’m making and serving it at my dinner. A taste from my childhood, brought to my table here in Montana. ❤️

Such a wonderful little staycation at Montage Big Sky Montage Big Sky ! Amazing food, cozy beautiful room, and everyone took such great care of us.

We ate a lot, relaxed, and did a little hike to enjoy the beautiful Montana outdoors. 😊

Sometimes the best getaway is right in our backyard. Feeling very grateful and spoiled! ❤️

September is coming, and as I work on the menu, all I can think about is the Chinese character 鲜 — a word that means both freshness and umami. Crisp local vegetables, delicate seafood, and mushrooms…everything I want September to taste like.

Sizzling chili Oil Tofu

Ingredients

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu
2 tsp minced garlic
3 Tbsp chopped scallions
1½–2 tsp chili powder
2 Tbsp neutral cooking oil

Sauce

1 Tbsp light soy sauce
½ tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce
2 tsp Chinese black vinegar
1¼ tsp sugar

Method

Blanch the whole block of tofu in boiling water for 2–3 minutes. Drain well.

Gently break the tofu into large, rustic pieces by hand and arrange on a serving plate.
Top with minced garlic, scallions, and chili powder.

Heat the oil until very hot, about 350°F, then pour it directly over the garlic, scallions, and chili powder.

Mix all the sauce ingredients together and pour over the tofu after the hot oil.
Serve immediately.

There is something about these dinners that goes far beyond the food.

It’s the connection around the table, the conversations between guests who may have just met, the energy of my team working together, the laughter coming from every corner of the room.

When everyone comes with an open heart, happiness just flows. ❤️

And at the end of the night, I realize again: I’m not simply creating a dinner. I’m creating a place for people to connect, to share, and to feel a little more human together.
