    Great recipes! I'm going to make the butternut squash tonight, you inspired me! I think it's wonderful you go the extra mile to learn about Q's culture and work with his mom to incorporate beloved meals in your household. I can feel your enthusiasm for pho through the video!

    Thank you for doing the Congee recipe with the variations. We just got back from an Alaska cruise that included Congee on the breakfast buffet. Since I had never had it before, I asked for advice from the Indonesian man at this specialty section. I must say, I'm now officially addicted! Yum! I was wanting to find a recipe, and here it is. 😋 So thank you.

    A hint on freezing soups (any liquids, really) is to freeze them without the lid on. In addition to not filling the containers up all the way, this is a great second guarantee of not busting your containers. As soup freezes, it expands and the pressure builds with the lid on. Keeping the lid off until it's frozen eliminates the problem.

    Does your husband eat meat? Just asking because I am wfpb but my family is not so always wonder how other people handle that situation. I usually make food for family. And I just eat potatoes or rice and veggies.

    Here's a go-to fall/winter soup for me: the combo of chili oil, black bean garlic sauce, and gojuchang is a huge flavor bomb in just a few spoonfuls, and can easily turn a pile of vegetables into a spicy, wonderful soup. The vegetables can be anything, but I really like the combination of sweet potato and broccoli.

    I heat a couple tablespoons of chili oil in a pot, then saute a chopped onion for a few minutes. Then I add in a couple tablespoons each of gojuchang and black bean garlic sauce, along with a bunch of finely chopped or grated garlic and ginger, and stir for another minute or two. Next I add in a sweet potato, cubed, and stir to coat in the flavorful paste before adding 4-6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then back down to a simmer. At some point while simmering, I'll add a head of broccoli, cut into small (spoon-appropriate) pieces. The goal is to have the sweet potato and broccoli at the right tenderness at the same time, so the exact timing depends on how high your heat it and how large your sweet potato cubes are, but it's very forgiving. For extra protein, I add either a block of super firm tofu cut into cubes or a can of black beans (usually around the same time as the broccoli). I sometimes finish with a splash of lime juice or rice vinegar. Serve over rice topped with toppings (scallion, cilantro, crushed peanuts, sprouts, whatever…). I'm actually eating it as I type this.

    Where can I find the actual directions for the butternut squash soup where I am trying to make that now but I don't know when to introduce the red lentils and how to what's the time overall cooking all this batch of soup?????

    On the barley soup — I make a vegan pot roast with onions, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, green beans and kale — I just throw it all into a crockpot at one time (I add the kale in the last 15 minutes) with some veggie broth, bay leaf, 1/4 tsp horseradish and some pepper and let it cook on low. I find that an 8oz package of mushrooms NOT SAUTEED really adds a ton of flavor. Pre-cooking the mushrooms loses all the water in them which adds a lot to flavoring. I make almost the same soup (minus the potatoes and horseradish) and add noodles, celery and ginger for a completely different vibe. The mushrooms add a depth that veggie broth on it's own is missing.

    Mushroom soaks up water quickly so if you wash them and then cook them as a side dish they will stay soggy. In a soup this doesn't matter. At least this is my hypothesis

    Thanks so much for this video! You have taken the mystery out of my favorite Asian soup, Pho. I'm in Phoenix right now, and the nearest vegan pho is 15 miles away. Luckily for me, there are lots of options in Lis Angeles County, where I live. Definitely going to try your recipe!
