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

Latest video 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! 😊

Nyob Zoo! I wanted to share this super easy cocon Nyob Zoo!

I wanted to share this super easy coconut jello recipe just in time for any Spring festivities you may be having soon. This jello is made with agar agar instead of gelatin. So it’s vegan, dairy free, and gluten free friendly. I grew up eating this jello since it was something my aunty would make for the family when we had a party. You’ll see this jello being made in many Southeast Asian countries as well. It’s coconutty and texturally fun. You can have fun with this and add food coloring to make it colorful or add chunks of fresh fruit for texture and color. 

Agar agar is derived from red seaweed (red algae), making it a great vegan alternative to gelatin. It’s flavorless and is commonly used to set desserts with a much more firmer and stable texture. For it to work properly, it must be heated in liquid. 

For the full written recipe, check out my website. The full video is also available on my YouTube channel. Link in my bio. 

Or comment “Jello” and I’ll DM you the recipe!
