While Mama Le's home cooking inspires
much of the menu (pho, charcoal - grilled chicken), chef Le's mouth -
wide - open travels — and the melting
pot of Hawaii — inform more ambitious (and craveable) dishes like a hamachi Reuben or large - format meats (pig's head, anyone?).
In terms of your question of what we store in hOMe here is a breakdown in case it helps get a sense of how
much space things take up for us: all of our
pots, pans and small appliances fit inside a large lazy susan corner unit; our eating utensils, spices, roots / onions, and misc cooking utensils fit inside an 18 ″
wide lower cabinet unit with 4 drawers; underneath our sink is our trash can and reverse osmosis filter since we have arsenic in our well; we have 30 days of emergency food stored inside a 24 ″ lower cabinet as well as mixing and serving bowls; in a lower 36 ″ cabinet we have all of our food storage containers and water bottles (amazing how
much space that all takes up but for us it's necessary bc of how
much food we store... for someone else, this entire cabinet would not be necessary).
