Nyob Zoo! Hello!

Nyob Zoo! Hello!

It's Cindy Her!

Nyob Zoo! My Name is Cindy Her. I’m a full time Pastry Chef in the Pacific Northwest and creator, recipe developer, and video producer for C.HerCreations (C.HawjCreations), a digital platform dedicated to Hmong food and storytelling. I specifically focus on Hmong food I grew up eating but I also venture into other South East Asian food as well. As a second generation Hmong American woman, my goal is to teach you what Hmong people love to eat, what we cook, how we cook it, how it has evolved, and how we enjoy it. So welcome to my food blog! I want you to learn a little bit more about the Hmong food culture and I hope you all stay tuned on this culinary adventure with me.

What’s good

Cabbage rolls are here! So many of you have been a Cabbage rolls are here! So many of you have been asking me to show you how I like to make cabbage rolls at home and here is my take on it. I’m usually not a big fan of cabbage rolls since they can be quite tedious to make and taste kinda one note. HOWEVER, I’ve been playing with ingredients, textures, and dipping sauces to make cabbage rolls a lot more flavorful and enjoyable and I can say this recipe is it! It hits all my tastebuds and the dipping sauce is flavor bomb! This cabbage roll is inspired by my love for hot pot. So it’s basically a hot pot(ish) in a cabbage roll. It’s filled with bok choy, mushrooms, lotus roots, chicken, and noodles. It’s paired with an amazing full of flavor sesame paste sauce. The sesame dipping sauce is a twist between the Chinese sesame hot pot dipping sauce and the Japanese goma dare. It’s nutty, a little sweet, aromatic, and full of umami which really elevates the cabbage rolls.

In the Hmong culture, cabbage rolls are often times made with the same filling used in egg rolls. It’s a great alternative for anyone who wants something a little lighter and healthier. Since cabbage rolls are often times eaten as a healthy dish, it can be quite plain for those who loves bold flavors. So this recipe (mostly the sauce 😁) is for those who like bold flavors. But by all means, this cabbage rolls can be enjoyed as is without the dipping sauce for a healthier option or be eaten with another type of dipping sauce you enjoy. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar you add too! It’s all up to you when you’re the one cooking it in the kitchen 😎 So I hope you can give this one a try and happy cooking!

The full written recipe is available on my website along with the full video on my channel. Link in my bio to start cooking! 

Or comment “cabbage” and I’ll DM you the recipe. 😊

Since I started preserving recipes online in 2018, Since I started preserving recipes online in 2018, I realized I’ve never formally introduced myself to many of you. What began as a space to document my family’s recipes & tell stories has grown into something more than I could envision. It’s been a creative outlet for me to share my love for food, my craft, and my culture. I’ve been so immersed in the food & digital world that I often forget to pause and introduce the person behind it all. This space has always been about being true to myself, connecting with you, keeping things real, authentic, fun, & being able to create freely without chasing algorithms or fitting into expectations. 

So, nyob zoo everyone! My name is Cindy Her. I’m a Hmong American chef & baker. I’m also the creator, recipe developer, photographer, writer, editor, and video producer behind C.HerCreations (C.HawjCreations), a digital platform dedicated to Hmong food, storytelling, traveling, crafting, gardening, & many other cuisines. Everything you see from the recipes, videos, photos, & writing are all created & produced entirely by me with the help of my family. 

I love traveling and immersing myself in different cultures, especially through food. I’m pretty adventurous when it comes to trying new dishes, though I do hesitate on certain types of seafood. So far, I’ve traveled to over 10 countries and many of my creations are inspired by my travels and my professional training. When I’m not in the kitchen, I enjoy gardening & crafting. Skydiving, hiking, antique shopping, food hopping, cinematography? I’M ALL IN. 

Looking ahead, my goal is to open my own restaurant someday. But before that, I hope to publish a Hmong cookbook so you can have a piece of the Hmong culture to hold onto & bring into your own kitchen. I’m currently looking for an agent to represent the Hmong community, my work, and my talent. So send me good vibes! 😎 Peb Ua Tau! 

For those who have been with me since the beginning, THANK YOU for being here and supporting my work this far. It’s been quite a journey. 😌 For those who are new, nyob zoo (hello) and welcome! Let’s continue to be inspired, embrace your own creativity, and enjoy food to the fullest. #hmong #hmoob
Nyob zoo! I’ve been feeling a little nostalgic l Nyob zoo! 

I’ve been feeling a little nostalgic lately. So here’s me revisiting some of my childhood food combos to see if I still like them. It’s been SOOO long since I’ve had these combos! Some still hit, some… not as much 😅 

Growing up, cooked rice was always available. As kids, we’d pair just about anything with it to fill our stomachs before heading off to school. It would usually be something salty and full of flavor to balance out the plainness of the rice. We didn’t have a lot of variety to choose from since money was tight, so we made do with what we had. It wasn’t always the most nutritious, but it was enough to get us through the day. Revisiting these combos really takes me back. The nostalgia is real 🤓

What were some of your childhood food combos? I’d love to know! Comment below! 😊
