Welcome !
Hi, I'm Sharon!
It's great to have you here. Step into my kitchen, where being a mom to four lively boys ages 1-7 fuels my love for cooking. Despite the chaos, I've perfected the art of cooking tasty dishes without the time-consuming hassle. Join me as I introduce easy-to-follow recipes bursting with flavor, drawing inspiration from my Asian roots.
My Story
Growing up in a Chinese household, my kitchen was always filled with the aromas of home-cooked meals. I can still remember on of my earliest memories, waking up from a nap to my grandma braising my favorite Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. From an early age, I was inspired by my family's cooking traditions, where food was not just about nourishment but also about connection. My husband, who is Vietnamese, introduced me to even more cultural dishes not found in restaurants. As a mother, it became my quest to learn these special dishes so that my children be immersed in both their Chinese and Vietnamese heritage through food, allowing them to experience the traditions and flavors of both cultures.

How The Savory Chopstick was born
I started The Savory Chopstick as a way to document my favorite recipes and cooking tips while balancing the chaos of motherhood. Whether it's a quick weeknight dinner, a traditional Chinese or Vietnamese dish, or a new twist on an old favorite, my goal is to make home cooking enjoyable, stress-free, and, most importantly, delicious. This blog is more than just a collection of recipes—it's a reflection of my love for food and family.
My greatest wish is that one day, when my children are all grown with families of their own, they'll be able to recreate my recipes and be reminded of the deep love I have for them. Cooking has become my love language, a way to nourish, connect, and create lasting memories. It's my hope to extend some of this love and happiness to you and your loved ones as I share my cherished recipes with you.
