Many people have a misconception about meat ... sometimes meat needs to a part of our diets ... to limit my meat intake I cook using meat as an accent/garnish to my foods ... but today I made one of hubbys favorites ... organic beef/tofu meatballs (ground beef, tofu, egg, panko crumbs, ground garlic, ground ginger, salt and pepper) ... you can cook this as a patty, bake in the oven or put in soups. I used an ice cream scoop to make it all the same size and froze them whole for later use ... #theacuchef #bongahcooks #meat #meatball #koreanfushion #meatishealthy #moderation

Had such a fun time introducing acupuncture and herbs yesterday to about 50 Title One 6th graders. Here I am dotting their faces and hands to show them different points. Later I had them try a few herbs ... cinnabark, jujube and goji berries. @theacuchef #teaching #tcm #futuredoctor #traditionalchinesemedicine #education #titleone #lausd #meridianspoints #foodishealth #teachingtheyoungergeneration

Whole fruit is the best fruit. I am lucky to live in Los Angeles and support local farmers. #theacuchef #smcfm #farmersmarket #farmer #losangeles #whole30 #wholesome #satsuma #ilovefruit #happyface

I spy with my little eyes a sesame cookie in my flowers Hei Zhi Ma ( / ) is black sesame seeds. Seeds in TCM usually helps lubricate and moistens the intestines. Hoping to rework this recipe as a crisp to help move your bowels. Sesame cookie - roasted sesame seeds, rye flour, spelt flour, butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, salt and baking soda. #theacuchef #sesameseeds #sesamecookie #happybowels #lubethetubes

These are a few of my new favorite things ... spent the last two days with my friend @alexgroverlac (https://www.healthstyle.live/) at the Natural Projects Expo. I will be spending the new few days posting why I liked the items in this pic. #theacuchef #engredea #expowest #NatProdExpo #naturalproducts

Chen Pi (aged orange peel) inspired scone ... Flour blend (spelt, whole wheat and all purpose), baking powder, salt, orange zest, butter, buttermilk, eggs, candied ginger, dried cranberries and dried raisins. Chen Pi helps regulate the Qi in the body and eliminates dampness. Experimenting with breakfast items and using 'warming' foods to help kick start the day. #theacuchef #breakfast #scone #bloodorangescone #medicinemaking #medicinalherbs #foodismedicine #femalesinmedicine #instafood #chinesemedicine

Well ... Life is all balance, all recipes can't be perfect ... This sweet brown rice cake filled with dried fruits and nut (jujube, goji berries, raisins, cherries and pinenuts) brown sugar, sesame oil, quinoa and pumpkin spice blend looks delish, but it won't settttttttt Once it sets this would be a great nourishing small meal or snack. #theacuchef #femalesinmedicine #traditonalchineseherbs #ediblemedicine #thenewpowerbar
