Golden Turmeric Baked Fries

So, these Golden Turmeric Baked Fries is what happens when you can’t eat French fries at every meal, every day for the rest of your life. Hi. My name is Joanne and I am addicted to French fries. I remember back when I was around 10 years old, my pediatrician warned my mother that I was gaining a little too much chub and I thus needed to cut down on the French fries. I spent that summer in Texas with my cousins, playing outside, eating mostly Korean food, and doing a lot of chores around my aunt and uncle’s house. I guess I must’ve lost some weight, because at my “end of summer before school starts” doctor’s visit, the same sobering physician with a brown mustache smiled kindly and said, “You can have French fries this month.”

I wanted to punch him in the stache.

French fries THIS MONTH?? LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME WHO EATS FRENCH FRIES ONLY ONCE A MONTH?

Sadly, when you become my age, with the metabolism of a frightened turtle, daily French fry consumption is a no-go. So, I came up with a healthified version of French fries that I could eat, if not every day, at least once a week (that’s 4x a month, Dr.). And the great news is, these are so delicious, I hardly miss my weekly trip through McDonald’s drive through (actually, haven’t eaten any fast food for 4 years, now!). I added a little turmeric to the recipe because turmeric is one of the best things you can put into your body and, as I always say, it’s not just about what you remove from your diet, it’s about what you add to it.

So, the next time you have a French fry craving, try this Golden Turmeric Baked Fries recipe! It’s easy, delicious, and you will love it.

The Korean Vegan, Esq.
Over a year ago, after the death of Ahmaud Arbery, Over a year ago, after the death of Ahmaud Arbery, I started thinking a great deal about how to eradicate systemic racism in this country and the role that solidarity between various groups played in that objective.  In the past several months, as the AAPI community grappled with the rise in violence against its most vulnerable, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand what we can learn from the this nation’s ongoing struggle with white supremacy and what, if any value, our solidarity with the Black American community could bring to that fight. This isn’t an easy post to write, partially because I am still learning and many of my thoughts remain unformed. Race, identity, oppression—these things are slippery, naturally evade definition, and as a result, it’s hard to have discussions about these things without causing injury—especially when we are all grieving as we continue to watch people die.
.
Not everyone’s activism looks the same. Mine tends to be more introspective, perhaps because I, like so many others, struggle with identifying concrete things I can actually do to make things better.  For me, it always boils down to “doing the right thing.” Character, integrity, loyalty. Showing up even when it’s so much easier to turn our backs and walk away. I write this now even as I know that I haven’t yet been really tested, that my commitment to BLM and the continued fight against systemic racism remains somewhat theoretical. When has my privilege really been threatened, when have I had to allow my own safety to be jeopardized for the safety of others?
.
I don’t yet know what the complete form of solidarity looks like, but I do know what it’s not: convenient.
Strawberry Milk! So easy. Just cut up some strawbe Strawberry Milk! So easy. Just cut up some strawberries, add a little orange zest, drop on some sweetener, then pour in 1/4 cup coffee creamer and 1 cup of your favorite plant milk! If you want extra berry flavor, marinate your cut strawberries in the sweetener for 1 hour before adding your liquids. The best part is scooping the strawberries into your mouth at the end. Trust me!
Someone asked me the other day whether I had ever Someone asked me the other day whether I had ever experienced any incidents of racism in my life. I had to laugh because at first I thought it was rhetorical. Of course I have. I’ve grown up with it. I don’t say that to play the victim-quite the opposite. It’s something I now take for granted as part of my life. And as I answered the question I realized it’s part of my “American life.” I’ve been thinking a lot these days about what it means to be “American.” It isn’t an easy one to answer and I think it’s an intensely personal question. So I answered it in reference to my own experiences. Recipe for this simple kimchi fried rice on my blog, thekoreanvegan.com. Just look up “fried rice.”
