My lunch today is an homage to Hetty. In the cookbook, she ruminates about growing up Asian in Australia, and how food was a crucial component to figuring out her ethnic identity. Much like the recipes she has in the book, the dish above has a Vietnamese-inspired pho base with some Korean twists in the addition of tofu, turnips, and gochujang, all boiled together into a pan-Asian hot pot for lunch this afternoon.
