Hello! My name is Chris Joe (CJ), and I’m a third generation Chinese-American home cook who has always loved cooking & eating! Welcome to my site, where you can find easy & approachable recipes for the everyday home cook. These are some of my tried & true favorite dishes that I make all the time.

You HAVE to make my Scallion Oil Noodles – they’

You HAVE to make my Scallion Oil Noodles - they’re super flavorful, simple to make, and always a crowd pleaser! The scallions cook until addictively crispy in @chosenfoods 100% Pure Avocado Oil, infusing the oil with so much incredible flavor; the scallion oil is then used to make an incredible sauce! Because of this, it’s so important to use a high-quality neutral oil, like my favorite @chosenfoods 100% Pure Avocado Oil. The neutral taste really lets the other ingredients shine and I love that it’s made from healthy fats and is certified non-GMO. Use my code CJEATS for 20% off all their products at Chosenfoods.com!

Whenever anyone asks me what neutral oil I like to use, I always say @chosenfoods - so I’m stoked to be working with them to share this recipe! Hope you enjoy! #ChosenPartner

16 oz noodles
10 scallions 3” julienned, with whites & greens separated 3/4 cup @chosenfoods 100% Pure Avocado Oil 3 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 1 tbsp sugar

1. Cut scallions to remove the whites and the greens and julienne into 3” strips.

2. In a pan, heat 3/4 cup of Avocado oil over medium heat (target 225-250F), then add your scallion whites for 2-3 minutes. Once they are wilted down, add your scallion greens and continue frying until the scallions are golden brown (3-4 minutes). Turn off the heat and strain and remove the scallions leaving only the oil. Let cool for 2 minutes.

3. To a small bowl add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and mix until combined. Carefully add to the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat or until the sauce starts to bubble.

4. Cook noodles according to package directions and drain, then add directly to the sauce.

5. Combine until thoroughly coated and serve immediately with scallion toppings. Enjoy!

#ad **SAVE THIS POST!** Some of my best Father’s

#ad **SAVE THIS POST!** Some of my best Father’s Day memories have been grilling steaks over @kingsford Original Charcoal, so here are my FIVE KEY TIPS for grilling the BEST, most flavorful steaks this summer! There’s nothing like grilling over white hot charcoals for that bold, smoky flavor you can only get with @kingsford charcoal!

Head to www.kingsford.com to grab your @Kingsford charcoal to step up your grilling game!

1. Make sure your steak is thick enough to grill - I recommend 1.5”-2” as the sweet spot! 1.5”-2” steaks are easier to cook precisely, as there is less risk of overcooking than using thinner steaks.

2. Take the extra time and salt your steak overnight in the fridge for up to 24 hours! This extra time allows the salt to fully penetrate the meat, thoroughly season it, and helps change the protein structure so it retains juices during cooking to ensure a flavorful steak.

3. Use @kingsford Original Charcoal for the best smoky wood-fired flavor - it’s made with 100% natural ingredients, lights up super-fast, and is integral for the ultimate grilling experience!

4. Create “two zones” in your grill with your @kingsford Original Charcoal - one zone will be for intense, direct heat, while the second zone is for indirect heat. You’ll want to use both zones for the perfect steak - the indirect heat to cook your steak to your perfect temperature doneness, and then the intense, direct heat for the perfect sear!

5. Use a meat thermometer! I always recommend a thermometer for any home cook, as it’s a simple, inexpensive way to reliably prevent you from overcooking your meat and confirm that your meat is cooked to a safe internal temperature. Beef continues to cook for about 10 minutes after it is taken off the heat, so keep this in mind to allow your steak to reach your ideal temperature and let the carryover cooking do the rest of the work while it rests. *USDA recommends cooking steak to 145F internal

The PERFECT stovetop rice hack and a @kettleandfir

The PERFECT stovetop rice hack and a @kettleandfire BONE BROTH GIVEAWAY! One of the questions I get asked a lot is how to make rice WITHOUT a rice cooker! My secret to foolproof delicious white rice cooked on the stove top… using bone broth in lieu of water. The bone broth adds depth, flavor and best of all PROTEIN, which makes my white rice healthier and more nutritious.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that my go-to bone broth is @kettleandfire. They make the highest quality best tasting bone broth, and they only use grass fed AND finished beef bones and organic free range chicken bones that add so much flavor to my recipes!

@kettleandfire is committed to making food the right way, by using ingredients that are sourced with the environment in mind. I want to help them with that mission by spreading the word and getting as many people to try Kettle & Fire as possible. So, today I am giving away 6 cartons of bone broth to FIVE (5) lucky winners.

To enter, all you have to do is:

1.) Comment below with either, “Yes I’ve tried Kettle & Fire” or “No, I have never tried Kettle & Fire” (your answer won’t affect your chances of winning) and tag a friend.

2.) LIKE and SAVE the post!

3.) Share the post for an extra entry!

The FIVE winners will be announced on my IG Stories June 3 at 12pm PST!

My key tips to PERFECT stovetop rice:
*Use a ratio of 1 ¼ cup of liquid (I use @kettleandfire bone broth) to 1 cup of Jasmine rice

*You can also use the index finger hack to make sure you have enough liquid! Just place the tip of your index finger at the top of the rice. If the liquid hits the first line of your finger, then you’re good to go!

*After bringing to a high simmer on medium high heat, turn the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes (15 minutes if you like softer rice). After the 12 minutes is up, take it OFF the heat and let it steam with the cover ON for another 10 minutes!

* Fluff up your rice and ENJOY!

You’re going to want to put my Garlic Chili Cris

You’re going to want to put my Garlic Chili Crisp on everything you eat!!

This recipe only requires 9 ingredients, with neutral oil being the KEY ingredient, so make sure to use my favorite neutral oil, @chosenfoods 100% Pure Avocado Oil. Anytime someone asks me what neutral oil I recommend, I always say @chosenfoods, so I’m stoked to be working with them to share this recipe with you! Use my code CJEATS for 20% off all of their products at Chosenfoods.com! #ChosenPartner

@chosenfoods 100% Pure Avocado Oil is perfect for high heat cooking and has a neutral taste that works perfectly in my Garlic Chili Crisp. Because oil is such a large component of this recipe, it’s so important you use an oil that comes from healthy fats (like avocado), is 100% pure, and is certified non-GMO.

Comment below what you would eat with my Garlic Chili Crisp!

3 cups Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil
2 large shallots
12 cloves garlic
1.5 cup szechuan chili flakes
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 tbsp salt
1/2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp sesame oil

1. Add avocado oil to a saucepan over high heat and add the sliced garlic and shallot. Cook until bubbling and pale golden brown. Strain the shallots and garlic and reserve the oil.

2. In a large heatproof bowl add the szechuan chili flakes, salt, sugar, and sesame seeds. Add the oil back to the saucepan and heat to 350-375F. Carefully pour the hot oil onto the chili flakes and stir.

3. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, and toss in the crispy garlic and shallots. Stir to combine and enjoy it on anything!
