If you ever had the opportunity in 2020 to try the vegan pop-up at Hunan Harmony, the Pop-up Vegan menu from Hunan of Ardmore, it was my first venture into offering vegan and gluten-free Asian dishes to the public, so you’re no stranger to my offerings. I am so excited to offer dumplings all over the Bucks County, Philadelphia and all over the country. I am so excited that my dumplings will also be available at retail locations in the coming months.
My daughter Nari was born with many severe food allergies including gluten, dairy, beef, pork and nuts. Eighteen years ago, her allergies are what pushed me into an entirely new direction with my cooking. I grew up with various allergies of my own so I understand the challenges of trying to find comfort foods minus the allergens. Nari is my OG original dumpling.
I was born on a very remote island called Hongdo in South Korea, and then lived in an orphanage until I was adopted to the US when I was 4 years old. I grew up in Doylestown, Pa where my parents built their first home and have remained. My great-grandmother (My mother’s grandmother) was my Bubby who came to the U.S.A. from the Ukraine. My Bubby gets full credit for teaching me how to cook, and driving my passion for making great homemade meals from scratch. Today I love being able to share these dumplings with my mother and daughter to enjoy.
Thanks again for all of your support!
